In all of my almost-78 years, I’ve not heard an 18 year-old play this sonata no. 23 so perfectly, beautifully and with this much passion. Mr Malofeev is an extraordinary musician and person. Thank you for this unforgettable performance. 👏🙏💐
Competition or no competition, this young performer has nothing to prove. He is way ahead of the pack in interpretation and intensity of performance. If he never wins another competition, he will be winning audiences in his ability to communicate the essence of whatever he plays.
@Stefanos Anastasiadis Horowitz wasn't the only one! Neither, Evgeny Kissin, Lang Lang, or Wuja Wang ever entered one! I predict competitions may see an end in the near future. And IMHO it's way overdue! Dare we dream that politics in the classical concert world may lose their power? Maybe then the hundreds, dare I say thousands of great talents that are never known might have a chance?
I'm surprised this doesn't have as many views as his semifinal performance. Both are wonderful performances, both incredible!! What an enormous talent..simply brilliant!!
Alexander has rock star qualities and I am sure many teenagers are gonna start following him thereby learning to appreciate classical piano owing to his endearing charm, blonde looks and especially his ability to play as splendidly ad he does.
That's true-as a teenage pianist, I personally admire him a lot! I think he's going to be the best pianist of our whole generation, or at least one of the best
You are totally right, dear madam, this is a gift from God, and this young musician is everyone`s legacy especially now when the world is so disturbed and risky.
the second piece is opening movement of Pletnev's re-arrangement of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, which, according to Horowitz, is a piece in the whole world only he himself and Pletnev is capable of playing.
@@lockjiang Firstly, Horowitz never ever played the piece. Secondly, there are wonderful recordings of it by other people, perhaps the most beautiful is Simon Trpceski's.
Редчайшей красоты талант, авторское исполнение восхитительно, мудрость во всем: проникновении в произведение, осмыслении и визуализации сочинения и личном прочтении - все безупречно, гениально!!! Благодарю, не пропускаю новые записи, делюсь с друзьями, посылаю Александру самые щедрые и добрые пожелания как родному и близкому человеку, без которого нельзя прожить и дня!!! Удачи, успехов, славы во всем, чем полна ваша жизнь!!!
Я так понимаю у Саши много завистников, которые пытаются кусаться... Александр спасибо вам за ваш талант, за ваше понимание и индивидуальность! Вы лучший!!!
Agreed.We see history in the making.I am besotted with this young pianist!He plays with real feeling coming from the heart and soul.A true Slavic heart for sure.The real deal.As I understand he came second.They failed him for sure!These competitions are very rarely fair.
Admirable la forma de tocar e interpretar la de Alexander , lo he seguido desde los 6 años , y ya se notaba la genialidad de ese niño .Me encanta verlo y escucharlo resulta un deleite , que hace notar la evolución de esta generación , en que muchos muchachos desperdician su inteligencia en ociosidades. Alexander , es la muestra de la inteligencia que a la que el ser humano puede aspirar .Claro que hay mucho trabajo , y horas de estudio detrás de él .👏👏 👏 La Apasionata de Beethoven , la ejecutó magistralmente .Toda mi Admiración para Alexander Maloofev .Es un verdadero intérprete de los Grandes Clásicos , increíble como domina con su técnica el piano .Muchas Gracias ♥️ por subirlo y le mandamos desde México nuestras Congratulaciones , y muestras de cariño , es un ejemplo para nuestros jóvenes , y los del mundo entero . Gracias ♥️🙏😇👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💞💐💐🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹♥️
Он уже не мальчик, Ему 20 лет. А доказывать ему еще придется. Не все так просто. В этом мире надо бороться за место под солнцем. И недоброжелателей, к сожалению, много.
I was always a Violin guy the intensity and range of the violin always held me in total attention now after discovering Alexander I find that same intensity in the piano totally different instruments but communicating the language of music with the passion astonishing calming and yet inspiring its rushes in like a flood of emotion to carry your soul away with him.
I don't think I've ever heard a better Appassionata! The use of lower and inter voices keep even the slow movement exciting and interesting (no easy feat)...not to overlook young Alex's pyrotechnics in the last movement! BRAVO! And then, Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev at their very best! Now I must go listen to Tony Siqi Yun and see if I can understand how Alex didn't win 1st place! But please don't call Tony a Chinese pianist! He's from Canada, and a student at Juilliard now.
Сколько же миров, состояний, воплощение этот скромный юноша пережил за этот концерт, выложил все нам: питайтесь, угощайтесь, делитесь, я сделал для этого невозможное - все, что мог и даже более того!!! Брависимо!!!
43:44 - 44:05 The ending of the 2nd mvmt, Prokofiev war sonata... incredible silence, in a truly humble prayer-like position... Malofeev never fails to express the very soul of whatever music he performs...not only with his piano but with his entire being!
The way he plays this tragic piece, it's indescribable. He is inside the music and brings it to us as if living the horror of WWII. A fullness of performance I have never experienced before.
Aleksandr Malofeev is a stunning performer. His interpretation of Beethoven is absolutely exceptional. Pas de deux: a wonder! Passion, gentleness, intimate emotions expressed with great skill and deep feeling. Exceptional Prokofiev.
Ne znam pi koji put preslušavam ovaj snimak i svaki put mi je kao nov,jer nalazim nešto novo.Ali svaki put uživam i to zbog tvog tonaOn je toliko topao,on miluje i mazi.Niko to nema,a to si od malena imao.Idalje uživaj dok sviraš,jer se to oseća,i prenesito nama.
As beautiful as this performance of the Pas de deux was, check out his encore performance of it on the recently uploaded Saint Saens concerto (where everyone was with masks on...sadly required). It's amazing also.
So awesome. I have been following you on TH-cam for a while now. You’re a terrific performer. Your expressive style invites me to participate in the performance to which you give so much of yourself. Tremendous!
Como é bom ver e ouvir as interpretações do Pianista:- Alexander Malofeev, nota mil, 01-09-2022-Quinta Feira, as 11:40hs.- Cidade Ariston, Carapicuíba-São Paulo - Brasil.- abraços para Amadeus TV pela postagem de valioso video. obrigado.-
THE BEST ' APPASSIONATA ' INTERPRETATION I ' VE EVER HEARD . COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY PLAYED . and TECHNICALLY PERFECT , NEVERTHELESS . ALL SHADES and COLOURS FULLY RESPECTED .
The right pianist for the russian repertoire. His interpretation of Prokoviev is sublime. A little less enthralled by his rendering of the appasionata which is very good technically butd oes not seem esthetically perfect. This teenager is otherwise phenomenal
His talent is otherworldly and he will be one of the great pianists of his generation. Having studied this Prokofiev sonata in depth, I felt he occasionally lost control of this performance; although, I would agree that that sort of repertoire favours energy more than a precise but potentially dull rendition. Overall, the full set of pieces he brought to this piano competition terrifies me - I don’t know how he prepared it all, amazing!
Claude Krzisch . You guys are talking way above my level of understanding. I do not have an ear for music but I really enjoy listening and watching him play the piano.
AM plays in a different league than TY, far above and far beyond him. AM is a bomb into cultivated nice piano playing. His Beethoven and Prokofiev are the future, out of reach for 90% of the established adult concert pianists. It is evident why TY won the competition. I will make sure not to miss a single live concert/recital of AM nearby. He re-teaches us the richdom and depth of musical sensation.
This entire performance was wonderful, and the Prokofiev sonata...the war sonata...Alexander used his very creative skills in performing it. It's like he's there, at war --frightened, adrenaline flowing, even praying. Incredible performance..
Ein absolutes Ausnahmetalent! Und einer, der im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen jungen Pianisten die Technik nicht als Selbstzweck betrachtet, sondern sie für die musikalische Gestaltung nutzt! Und einer, der den Mut hat, auch subjektiv zu interpretieren, aber immer im Geiste der Musik und des Inhaltes. Der 3. Satz ist mir etwas zu schnell, aber als Interpretationsvariante kann ich das durchaus verstehen. Bravo!

It's amazing to watch different performers as some are great when it comes to playing the music but then there are those such as this artist that are phenomenal as they become the music.
Re the Appassionata, isn’t it fantastic that we are so blessed to hear a true young music genius of the 21st Century playing the music of THE music genius of the early 19th Century if not all time. How lucky we are to hear this young man play the pianoforte with such passion. I can’t imagine what Alexander will be like when he is 35, 50 and 70 years old. He is certainly the V. Horowitz of today. If only Mr. Horowitz could hear him play the Steinway, he would be so amazed what his fellow countryman is doing at such a young age. Bravo! As to the Pletnev Suite from the Nutcracker, I do not believe I have ever heard the ending played so delicately and perfectly as Mr. Malofeev did. It was simply breathtaking.
What a beautiful, encouraging comment for Alexander Malofeev. He loves the music, he loves the composers, and he loves to perform from the bottom of his heart. We are fortunate to live at the same time as this young maestro.
How can you be an atheist when you witness someone the likes of this brilliant pianist? Do you think we humans evolved from a mud puddle with this potential? Btw, where did the mud come from, and why did one cell become a human, another a butterfly and another a cow...or a hippo? 🙂
Juan Pablo Londono Giron, …wait…You aren’t an atheist. You Do believe in God. You just asked Him, this god in which you claim you don’t believe, to bless this incredible, gifted, young pianist-! Did you hear your words? You contradict yourself. I suggest you do some soul searching. Listen, Juan. We are born with a need to know God our Creator. HE puts that desire in each of us. BUT, it is up to us individually to FIND Him! Understand, “ the fool has said in his heart there is no God.” (Psalmist David 14:1); “Faith, (large or small) comes by hearing, and hearing by the WORD of GOD.” Romans 10:17. Without that little bit of faith, it is not only impossible for you to please our Father God, but we must believe that He IS, and that He is REWARDER of those who seek Him diligently.” Hebrews 11:6. Do this: Find a Bible, ask God to show himself to you in His Word, for He promises to show Himself to you WHEN you SEEK Him, and you SEARCH for Him with your whole heart, mind and being.” Jeremiah 29: 11-13. “For God so loved the world💕, his created beings, that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever would believe in Him, (God, through His Son Jesus and His substitutionary death on the cross in our place for our sin nature), would NOT perish(in their sin nature), BUT would have ( instead!), ETERNAL life. For God didn’t send His Son into the world to condemn it, but that the world through His Son would be saved (from righteous judgment).” Wow! John 3:16-17. …Hurry, time is short; our Creator God is calling for you☝️. You’re almost there. MEET Him-in the Book of John✝️. He’s waiting🤓. Your life will never be the same❣️🥳😇🌹…Eternal life with Him is on the other side❤️. What MORE could one want😊…??
@@suzannenelson3558 Please leave this poor man alone with your ideas of God. He can make his own choice without your advice. It's not appropriate here.
Prokofiev compone nel 40 circa le "sonate di guerra", per pianoforte, la 6, la 7 e la 8, in cui appaiono ruggire gli echi di un nuovo corso storico che lascia attonita e ammutolita un'intera generazione. Specialmente la Settima sonata, nel suo celebre e travolgente finale in tempo irregolare (7/8) e la lunga, tormentata e complessa ottava divennero i cavalli di battaglia delle nuove generazioni di virtuosi. L'esecuzione della 7 Sonata in SiB magg è un regalo pèer questo Festival: Purtroppo nessuno ha detto Grazie
Thank you so much for that information about the Prokofiev sonatas. Actually, I was curious as to why the composer would pen such music so I researched it. Seems there was even more to the history with the murder of his friend. I won't say more, it's just so tragic. One can hardly imagine. Never would I have listened to such music until I "discovered" Malofeev on youtube. Now I'm fascinated by Prokofiev's works. Again, thanks for the extra info. Be blessed.
@@undnjdjk2641 His background can only help him to this extent. This is competition controlled by yun's family through money, which has been determined from the beginning.If he does not have the help of his background, he will be eliminated in the front. Most competitions are money games.
Nobody doubts he is a miraculous technician, and already a great musician. I just worry about his posture. He sits like an old man. Like Gieseking in his 70's. I'm afraid he's going to ruin his back. I don't want the world to be robbed of another 70 or so years of his magic.
It's a little bit scary to watch but if you pay attention you can see his posture is constantly changing and he's sitting with an almost straight back almost as much as he is hunching, as long as it's not the same position for too long I think it's not a problem. With the awareness of RSI these days you can be pretty sure that his teachers will be making sure he looks after himself physically. Still, if he practices 11 hours a day like I heard, that seems pretty demanding.
@@pianoman16 Had not heard anything about his practice schedule. That begins to sound like the work Liszt did when he took several years off the become the super-virtuoso of legend. history As a side note, I will; add that his Appassionata was a bit disappointing musically and technically (I couldn't believe it) I felt one of the Asian pianists was much better, (and the recording by Stewart Goodyear is better than either)
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING to BE the GREAT ONE . YOU ARE FLAWLESS . AND ONE CAN FEEL the DEEP WORK BEHIND YOUR PERFORMANCES . and ANOTHER to PRESENT ALL YOUR SO LARGE REPERTOIRE . YOU ARE ABOVE the FOGS .
Саша достиг уровня когда можно сказать: он играет как понимает-слышит. И тутошки уже дела вкуса: кому и что нравится слышать в исполнении . Мне, как исполнитель высшего пианистического мастерства, Саша - молодец. Но то не означает что мне вкусно слышать всё в исполнении Саши. Моцарт (концерт 20) и Бетховен (Аппасионата) у Саши исполняются ( для меня ) не вполне адекватно посылу композиторов. Возможно это специфика личного восприятия-вкуса и только. И, всё-таки, Саша достиг вершины исполнительского пианистического. И всем не угодишь, да и не надо. 22.32 19.7 19
One of best performances of Prok 7 i ever heard! Number 1 for sure goes hats off to Giacomo Battarino, unfortunately his performance isn't on yt, but it really is the best
Аппассионата понравилась, Щелкунчик - нет, совсем не музыкально, а Прокофьева Саша сыграл гениально, пронзительно, виртуозно, обнажая нервы и очень музыкально. Убедил, растрогал, заставил трепетать !
Awesome Beethoven and superb Prokofiev, but I really hope young Alexander will read Arthur Rubinstein's 2 books which explain vividly how much he loved life and why he would never allow himself to become a slave to the piano. It is not normal for a boy Alexander's age to frequently have dark rings around his eyes.
just a modest remark ... more training at the accords sequencies . but here he is alreadj extremelj exausted . almost without sleeping and eating . a hard repertoire to be performed . all in his wonderful mind .
Elder, I agree with your comment. And this young man has the potential for true greatness. What I do not appreciate is his channel--which deletes any comments about him which are not positive. I've seen critical comments posted by my students which were deleted while they were being posted. Not cool.
I too have posted constructive criticism which is always deleted. I believe a reason why he did not get past the 1st round in the Tchaikovsky Competition on June 17 is related to how Horowitz used to caution his students about practicing 10-12 hrs a day "when it is time to give a concert, you will sound like you are still practicing" Also instead of so many virtuoso show pieces, how about Rachmaninoff's Liebeslied or the exquisite Etude Tableaux in D minor opus 39 #8, bringing out all the inner voicings that escape most pianists. I hope Alexander will learn since his potential is tremendous.

How lucky we are to hear this young man play the pianoforte with such passion. I can’t imagine what Alexander will be like when he is 35, 50 and 70 years old. He is certainly the V. Horowitz of today. If only Mr. Horowitz could hear him play the Steinway, he would be so amazed what his fellow countryman is doing at such a young age. Bravo!
As to the Pletnev Suite from the Nutcracker, I do not believe I have ever heard the ending played so delicately and perfectly as Mr. Malofeev did. It was simply breathtaking.
What a beautiful, encouraging comment for Alexander Malofeev. He loves the music, he loves the composers, and he loves to perform from the bottom of his heart. We are fortunate to live at the same time as this young maestro.
im atheist. but god bless his hands and his ears ! music is what he does!
How can you be an atheist when you witness someone the likes of this brilliant pianist? Do you think we humans evolved from a mud puddle with this potential? Btw, where did the mud come from, and why did one cell become a human, another a butterfly and another a cow...or a hippo? 🙂
Juan Pablo Londono Giron, …wait…You aren’t an atheist. You Do believe in God. You just asked Him, this god in which you claim you don’t believe, to bless this incredible, gifted, young pianist-! Did you hear your words? You contradict yourself. I suggest you do some soul searching. Listen, Juan. We are born with a need to know God our Creator. HE puts that desire in each of us. BUT, it is up to us individually to FIND Him! Understand, “ the fool has said in his heart there is no God.” (Psalmist David 14:1); “Faith, (large or small) comes by hearing, and hearing by the WORD of GOD.” Romans 10:17. Without that little bit of faith, it is not only impossible for you to please our Father God, but we must believe that He IS, and that He is REWARDER of those who seek Him diligently.” Hebrews 11:6. Do this: Find a Bible, ask God to show himself to you in His Word, for He promises to show Himself to you WHEN you SEEK Him, and you SEARCH for Him with your whole heart, mind and being.” Jeremiah 29: 11-13. “For God so loved the world💕, his created beings, that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever would believe in Him, (God, through His Son Jesus and His substitutionary death on the cross in our place for our sin nature), would NOT perish(in their sin nature), BUT would have ( instead!), ETERNAL life. For God didn’t send His Son into the world to condemn it, but that the world through His Son would be saved (from righteous judgment).” Wow! John 3:16-17. …Hurry, time is short; our Creator God is calling for you☝️. You’re almost there. MEET Him-in the Book of John✝️. He’s waiting🤓. Your life will never be the same❣️🥳😇🌹…Eternal life with Him is on the other side❤️. What MORE could one want😊…??

Danke für dieses Video
Prokofiev compone nel 40 circa le "sonate di guerra", per pianoforte, la 6, la 7 e la 8, in cui appaiono ruggire gli echi di un nuovo corso storico che lascia attonita e ammutolita un'intera generazione. Specialmente la Settima sonata, nel suo celebre e travolgente finale in tempo irregolare (7/8) e la lunga, tormentata e complessa ottava divennero i cavalli di battaglia delle nuove generazioni di virtuosi.
L'esecuzione della 7 Sonata in SiB magg è un regalo pèer questo Festival: Purtroppo nessuno ha detto Grazie
Thank you so much for that information about the Prokofiev sonatas. Actually, I was curious as to why the composer would pen such music so I researched it. Seems there was even more to the history with the murder of his friend. I won't say more, it's just so tragic. One can hardly imagine. Never would I have listened to such music until I "discovered" Malofeev on youtube. Now I'm fascinated by Prokofiev's works. Again, thanks for the extra info. Be blessed.
Maravilloso!!!!!!!❤
I'm 100% sure he's going to make it in the finals. I'm not even going to be surprised if he wins. He's such a prodigy. ❤️💐
Do you know who is standing behind him?
Alexander Rodzinski who
@@undnjdjk2641 Collect more information and you will find it yourself.
Alexander Rodzinski It seems that Alexander’s background is useless lol
@@undnjdjk2641 His background can only help him to this extent. This is competition controlled by yun's family through money, which has been determined from the beginning.If he does not have the help of his background, he will be eliminated in the front. Most competitions are money games.
I fell in love for the first time in my life Alexander Malofeev❤
Nobody doubts he is a miraculous technician, and already a great musician. I just worry about his posture. He sits like an old man. Like Gieseking in his 70's. I'm afraid he's going to ruin his back. I don't want the world to be robbed of another 70 or so years of his magic.
Yeah...like Daniil Trifonov...:-(
His emotions are very deep that he forgets his posture. He feels the music so much, which is not a bad thing though.
It's a little bit scary to watch but if you pay attention you can see his posture is constantly changing and he's sitting with an almost straight back almost as much as he is hunching, as long as it's not the same position for too long I think it's not a problem. With the awareness of RSI these days you can be pretty sure that his teachers will be making sure he looks after himself physically. Still, if he practices 11 hours a day like I heard, that seems pretty demanding.
@@pianoman16 yes. He practices more than 10 hours a day on a daily basis. Except if he has school.
@@pianoman16 Had not heard anything about his practice schedule. That begins to sound like the work Liszt did when he took several years off the become the super-virtuoso of legend. history As a side note, I will; add that his Appassionata was a bit disappointing musically and technically (I couldn't believe it) I felt one of the Asian pianists was much better, (and the recording by Stewart Goodyear is better than either)
Não há palavras! "VIAGEM"!😀

отличное выступление!!! нет слов!
impresionante
Nice!
Amazing pianist!! I'm pretty sure they had to hose down the piano to cool it off after Alexander's performance of the War Sonata!!
43:48 ... where i dwell . it is in this manner . HOW MY SOUL is . it is SLOWLY . as a PRAYER . it is in the SACRED where EVERYTHING BEGINS .
决赛见！
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING to BE the GREAT ONE . YOU ARE FLAWLESS . AND ONE CAN FEEL the DEEP WORK BEHIND YOUR PERFORMANCES . and ANOTHER to PRESENT ALL YOUR SO LARGE REPERTOIRE . YOU ARE ABOVE the FOGS .
YOUR FACE EXPRESSIONS ARE SIMPLY MAGICAL . ADD a TOUCH of STAR DUST on the COMPOSERS YOU SO FANTASTICALLY INTERPRET .
... and SO MUCH of GLEEN GOLD ! as well ...
Саша достиг уровня когда можно сказать: он играет как понимает-слышит. И тутошки уже дела вкуса: кому и что нравится слышать в исполнении . Мне, как исполнитель высшего пианистического мастерства, Саша - молодец. Но то не означает что мне вкусно слышать всё в исполнении Саши. Моцарт (концерт 20) и Бетховен (Аппасионата) у Саши исполняются ( для меня ) не вполне адекватно посылу композиторов. Возможно это специфика личного восприятия-вкуса и только. И, всё-таки, Саша достиг вершины исполнительского пианистического. И всем не угодишь, да и не надо. 22.32 19.7 19
Prokofiev War sonata 29:35 37:15 43:50
One of best performances of Prok 7 i ever heard! Number 1 for sure goes hats off to Giacomo Battarino, unfortunately his performance isn't on yt, but it really is the best
@Asriel ....guess we're going to have to take your word for it, but for now I like Alexander's version. 😁
@@penniesfromheaven9724 hehe don't worry, maybe somebody will upload it
Аппассионата понравилась, Щелкунчик - нет, совсем не музыкально, а Прокофьева Саша сыграл гениально, пронзительно, виртуозно, обнажая нервы и очень музыкально. Убедил, растрогал, заставил трепетать !
E una cosa unica,e straordinaria,enorme talento...
Awesome Beethoven and superb Prokofiev, but I really hope young Alexander will read Arthur Rubinstein's 2 books which explain vividly how much he loved life and why he would never allow himself to become a slave to the piano. It is not normal for a boy Alexander's age to frequently have dark rings around his eyes.
Dark rings under the eyes can be a sign of a simple vitamin or mineral deficiency that can be fixed by a simple change in the diet.
Very powerful and a lot of fireworks. Wow!
he is aeons ahead ... and universes above . in all levels .
just a modest remark ... more training at the accords sequencies . but here he is alreadj extremelj exausted . almost without sleeping and eating . a hard repertoire to be performed . all in his wonderful mind .
PERFECT BEETHOVEN !
... in such a different waj . beautiful , his modus .
I wonder what the people that have disliked have in their heads...
António Belard jealousy
The knowledge of the score ...
@@eldarshus351 I understand that, but I simply cannot ignore that he is still 17 years old...quite remarkable!
Elder, I agree with your comment.
And this young man has the potential for true greatness.
What I do not appreciate is his channel--which deletes any comments about him which are not positive.
I've seen critical comments posted by my students which were deleted while they were being posted. Not cool.
I too have posted constructive criticism which is always deleted. I believe a reason why he did not get past the 1st round in the Tchaikovsky Competition on June 17 is related to how Horowitz used to caution his students about practicing 10-12 hrs a day "when it is time to give a concert, you will sound like you are still practicing" Also instead of so many virtuoso show pieces, how about Rachmaninoff's Liebeslied or the exquisite Etude Tableaux in D minor opus 39 #8, bringing out all the inner voicings that escape most pianists. I hope Alexander will learn since his potential is tremendous.
