It interests me greatly that he performs the piece (the Prokoviev) here quite differently from his approach to the same piece in other videos available to us here on youtube. This allows him to the extraordinary richness of the piece itself, as well as his own virtuosity.
@@monteirolobato6830 No, they could not. Not with infinite years of practice and not if all the chess players teamed up. Music is infinitely times more complex than chess. Music is a science and a sport, whereas chess is only a board game. Nothing else. The pianist completely outclassed all of the chess players at the same time there. Look at those destroyed chess player faces.
@@bjornandreas1997 Yes,I agree, the piano is way out of tune..That's obviously beyond Alex's control. Nevertheless, he should have stopped the performance and said: "Hey, ma Niggas, dis here be sum bad shit, ma niggas!'
My god that's a horrible sounding piano. It makes me appreciate and love Alexander even more, because most concert pianist with half of his skill and talent would refuse to play it after touching one key.
Alexander Malofeev is a tremendous gifted young pianist. This grand piano is heavy miss tuned and should not be given for a concert to such a bright talented pianist in any circumstances. Where is the concert place agency ??... this is a shame...!!!
Браво-брависсимо!!! Непревзойденно!!!! Роскошный пианист. Какой же великий дар им получен от Бога, и он его проявляет во всей мощи и красоте без остатка!! Радость и благодарность за это великолепие во всем не перестаю испытывать))))
Абсолютно солидарна с вами. Вы нашли очень нужные слова. Не устаю восхищаться этой потрясающей, преданостью исполнительскому искусству ЛИЧНОСТЬЮ -АЛЕКСАНДРОМ!!!Низко кланяюсь и горжусь,и благодарю.
Chess players are always thinking 10 moves ahead anyway, but they still can 't keep up with this. And I have a hard time listening to the out of tune piano at all. What an insult!
Musicians are smarter than chess players. Malofeev has nothing to prove to them at chess. His piano playing is quadrillions of times greater than all of these chess players present combined. He proves that with his piano playing.
What a stuck-up crowd.. Think they're so intelligent when they know how to play a game, but visibly linger in agony when presented something more demanding to the ear than Jonas Brothers. Hilarious and sad at the same time. Good Rachmaninov gone to waste.
@@danielmanahan692 Possibly because he choose to play one of the less inspired Rachmaninoff pieces, the 3rd movement of the B moll sonata. A million of notes back and forth + out of tune piano = smart people are bored.
I believe Vladimir Kramnik is well versed in classical music, I don't think the same can be said about the others. The chess players here are the best in the world. Obviously nobody can blame them for being mildly interested, especially if they have a tournament to come.
Жаль,появилось напряжение в плечах этого раньше не было. Обязательно надо избавляться от этого... Спасибо большое Александр за твоё творчество.Не забывай отдыхать и видеть небо и красоту земли.
bhail thanks fllr the all the coverage yaar mazaa aa gya in talented great players and musicians ko dekkar yaar inlog ka music bhut alag hia top payeyrs bor ho gaye hai yaar facial expression se pta chalta hai yaar
It’s Ian Nepomniachtchi. He’s a cool and down to earth dude. I think he is currently most probable next contender to world championship against Karlsen
Alexander ist einer der besten jungen Pianisten. War es tatsächlich nicht möglich, ihm einen anständigen Flügel zur Verfügung zu stellen? Dieser gehört auf den Sperrmüll!
Aber ich bin mir sicher, in seinem Kopf kann er nur müde lächeln und denken, was ist denn das für ein Instrument hier... Aber als gut erzogene Junge beschwert er sich natürlich nicht.👍
sometimes you have to take responsibility and stop....yes, stop until they tune it or roll out a better piano and the chess players can play another round while the situation is corrected...
Good Grief - They didn't even tune the damned piano for this master Pianist. How cress, how blatantly disrespectful of this boy. SHAME on you all. I do think this was the wrong piece to play for this crowd. Perhaps something better known or some popular piece. These egg-heads can't think of anything but the next move.
The piano is so bad, that, had Alexander played something more lyrical with long legato phrases , we would all have been squirming in our seats as every sustained note would have emphasised the tinny, hurdy-gurdy sound emanating from the piano. He made the very best of a bad job, though the chess-players were not the most appreciative of audiences. I think that, had he played some carefully chosen Chopin or Liszt, he would have covered all the bases and everybody might have had a smile on their faces - instead of stoney stares!!
There is no mistake about it, these are not chess players. They are Russian grandmasters there to observe up and coming piano prodigies. They are the same grandmasters, sitting exactly in the same place...that watched young Elisey Mysin give his performance on exactly the same day!!
The combination here of an out-of-tune piano and a hideous interpretation (he should keep his distance from this damned sonata - - he doesn't "get" it!) makes for an abysmal listening experience. I've performed the 1913 (original) more extensive version of this work, and believe me, his conception is so far off the mark, I'm not sure the composer would've recognized it. His mannerisms are, even this early in his career, becoming established: the arms snatching away from the keyboard; rising from the bench with arms thrust backward as the final chord is still sounding; the hunched-over posture. Viewers are going to kill me, not only for what I've just said, but I'm adding one more thing: I know this is being petty, but, I mean, how much longer do we have to expect to see him in those black shirts and black pants he's been wearing for every public appearance since he was ten?
the sound of this instrument is terrible...are we in a saloon?? who took the decision to let him play on such an awful piano? its an insult to put a pianist of this level behind a second-hand boudoir piano...

I think, his name is Alexander Malofeev. One of the youngest greatest pianist.
Even with totally terrible recording quality, there is no denying this young man's genius...
It's either terrible recording or the ugliest sounding Bechstein I've ever heard. I tend to agree with you, though, it's the recording.
Imagine if he's using a Steinway then it would almost be perfect.
Fantastic playing as always. It was just a technical problem with the right-hand microphone collection
Pianist knuckle's flexible movement was similar to sport athletes. Very normal.
We also hope future young Pianist can become jury of international piano competition.
Bravo Alexander! I don't care the piano...you could make an old antique upright piano shine with glorious music! Bravo!
@Holy Moses: How beautifully said. Bravo Alexander (Holland)
Alexander will take this venue...no matter the piano and situation...and he will play his heart out. God bless him. What a blessing he is! ❤️
0:17 - 4:30 Rachmaninoff Piano Sonata No. 2 in B Flat Minor Op. 36, Third Movement

They are all sitting there thinking, "Well, I could do that if I wanted."
I actually think they are in awe. You can feel it: this is something extraordinary
@@poetmale Jens, this is very charitable of you.
They can, they are all grandmaster pianist...not chess players. They were there to view up and coming pianists perform.
😅😅😅😅 of course.
@@monteirolobato6830 No, they could not. Not with infinite years of practice and not if all the chess players teamed up. Music is infinitely times more complex than chess. Music is a science and a sport, whereas chess is only a board game. Nothing else.

Imagine, one of the *greatest Pianists of all times* already, and they couldn't even have that Piano tuned for him.
tune the piano before hand for god's sake
you are so right, terrible sound such a pity for Alexander. The audience cannot even valu his talent
@@bjornandreas1997 Yes,I agree, the piano is way out of tune..That's obviously beyond Alex's control. Nevertheless, he should have stopped the performance and said: "Hey, ma Niggas, dis here be sum bad shit, ma niggas!'
@@kelsocampbell1301 i think he is too kind, to do that..
He just tuned it for them.
@@christinemcmasters9027 😅 this Piano needs peace
A genius playing the piano for other geniuses.
Uau. Amazing. thanks for this gems.
Bravissimo!!!!!!!
Such a performance despite not such a great piano ...!
Amazing !!!
7:05 GENIUS! Melody in that section I never heard before!
Спасибо, обожаю Сашу Малофеева !
Александр как всегда неотразим-он великолепен!!!
A Canadian concert pianist once said that Chopin sounds great even on bad pianos. This one might be the exception
No words can describe his talent and passion.
My god that's a horrible sounding piano. It makes me appreciate and love Alexander even more, because most concert pianist with half of his skill and talent would refuse to play it after touching one key.
In his head he probably wonders, whats goin on with the Piano 🤗
@@liina6799 I agree. lol =)
Alex makes even the worse piano sound heavenly!
Alexander Malofeev is a tremendous gifted young pianist. This grand piano is heavy miss tuned and should not be given for a concert to such a bright talented pianist in any circumstances. Where is the concert place agency ??... this is a shame...!!!
you are really so very right
What a cruddy piano for Alexander to play!
Hey, i's a Bechstein. One of the great makers. Just not properly cared for or tuned.
The least they could have done was tune that damn piano!!!
ENVY. 😂😂😂😂😂
I did not expect this kind of crossover
een zeer groots pianist waar we veel van kunnen verwachten ,maar inderdaad de piano die had zeker gestemd moeten worden
6:40 the guy off to his right thinks “oh great, there’s more”
Just goes to show that your skill is the same on any piano Alexander, phenomenal,

They're sitting there looking so dull and unanimated as if he'd just played Pachelbel's Canon instead of this absolute tour de force.
These chess players are all smart, yes, but i hope they know Alexander can play chess, too.
And how do you know that.
@@debbiedavis6784 Sasha said so
Chess players are always thinking 10 moves ahead anyway, but they still can 't keep up with this. And I have a hard time listening to the out of tune piano at all. What an insult!
@@socalgalful yea they should have at least given him a better piano :( it didn't do any justice for his talent.
Musicians are smarter than chess players. Malofeev has nothing to prove to them at chess. His piano playing is quadrillions of times greater than all of these chess players present combined. He proves that with his piano playing.
Is so good to see My two favourite hobbies combined 🤗😁
Love the 5 second applause break between rach 2 and prok toccata at 4:40
What a stuck-up crowd.. Think they're so intelligent when they know how to play a game, but visibly linger in agony when presented something more demanding to the ear than Jonas Brothers. Hilarious and sad at the same time. Good Rachmaninov gone to waste.
the piano sounds horrible I don't blame them for being bored
@schachfieber yeah because the quality of the instrument makes no difference whatsoever
@schachfieber okay then why don't you tell us all why they are so bored?

Великолепный,потрясающий пианист! И очень обаятельный молодой человек))) Харизма тоже важна для исполнителя!
Best seats in the house go to Viswanathan Anand and Hikaru Nakamura.
Жаль,появилось напряжение в плечах этого раньше не было.
Обязательно надо избавляться от этого...
Спасибо большое Александр за твоё творчество.Не забывай отдыхать и видеть небо и красоту земли.
Is that the great Karpov behind Kramnik? Amazing young pianist btw!
He is
I came for Alexander, but stayed laughing at tortured expression of Dubov

素晴らしい❣️
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
He should have played something more comprehensible for chess masters.
Outro loirinho talentosíssimo !
Русское Солнце !!! THE SUN Boys!!!
What's the name of the first piece?
rachmaninov, 2nd piano sonata
Super grand master of piano
did you noticed that guy next to karjakin fell asleep during rach 2nd piano sonata end? and everyone's expressions at 4:34 is just houlirious
just goes to show music prodigies and great chess players dont often goes together well 😂
It’s Ian Nepomniachtchi. He’s a cool and down to earth dude. I think he is currently most probable next contender to world championship against Karlsen
Why ask such a great pianist as Sasha to give this concert and not have a suitable piano there for him? I’m sure one could have been rented.

Исполнение Саши как всегда на высоте. Но рояль мог бы быть получше
Да, согласна, рояль классом не дотягивает до исполнителя!
This public was very jealous ? Maybe. For the applause... it's possible realize. 😊😊😊
These arrogant nerds should never again have the enormous pleasure of hearing you perform.
Yeah.... but can he play “rock around the clock tonight”?
@Caleb ...Lol (edited..haha)
Alexander, you could make a shoebox sound good.
Il a bien du mérite à jouer aussi bien sur un piano aussi désacordé
its me or everyone was jeoulus?
What would they think? E dominant not ideal move there mate?, better dont leave youre second theme unprotected,,?
В зале Венедиктов. Он тоже великий шахматист?
Good Grief - They didn't even tune the damned piano for this master Pianist. How cress, how blatantly disrespectful of this boy. SHAME on you all. I do think this was the wrong piece to play for this crowd. Perhaps something better known or some popular piece. These egg-heads can't think of anything but the next move.
It is tuned properly. You just cannot check out the flavour of the old Bechstein.
Awesome performance but the piano is badly out of tune.
Pianist must be young. Very normal
The piano is so bad, that, had Alexander played something more lyrical with long legato phrases , we would all have been squirming in our seats as every sustained note would have emphasised the tinny, hurdy-gurdy sound emanating from the piano.

He wears a lot of black clothes like me. He is the greatest.
tocata is a disaster. this piano is way too old for fast playing
Such a very bad piano, but Alexander got it. In the next time I hope they could be more gentle with him offering a better piano.
There is no mistake about it, these are not chess players. They are Russian grandmasters there to observe up and coming piano prodigies. They are the same grandmasters, sitting exactly in the same place...that watched young Elisey Mysin give his performance on exactly the same day!!
The make of the piano is wonderful. Just needed some serious tuning and a little regulation . what a pity.
Chess players appear to be the most boring people on the planet
Yeeeeeh what a horrible piano for such a great piano player.
천재를 이용해먹을려고 하냐??사악한것들...유진박 은 뭐하나???
He's play really fast and amazing for his young age but when i was watch video about him he always play useless thinks.
Tune the piano dreadful sound

Terrible recording. Audio engineers they're not.
Il a vraiment du mérite de jouer sur un aussi mauvais piano
Che piano orribile!
