Thank you so much for an interesting interview with the incredible Alexandre Kantorow! I've been following him for the fifth year since the Tchaikovsky Competition. Each of his concerts - solo, with an orchestra, in a chamber ensemble - is a musical event. You have revealed the inner world of this wonderful pianist, a real Artist.

I have only recently stumbled upon this gem of an artist, pianist Alexandre Kantorow, and, of course, the interview that you have done with him which I deem deeply personal and resonating. My deepest congratulations to both Alexander and the profound interviewer, Zsolt Bognár, along with the rest of the team! I believe I've just discovered my favorite interviewing station ... :)
Sending the kindest regards from Slovenia,
Jure

That part about when you feel ready for a piece is extremely interesting. Thanks for the episode.

Vraiment remarquable dans Brahms ! Heureux interview. Une chance que ce soit traduit en français.
We are grateful to you for this-thank you for your words and support! ✨🙏
Will you get Seong Jin Cho on the show? Love your work!!!
Thanks so much-so glad you like it! In fact we are working to make this happen-he is an amazing musician. We just visited Korea last week to develop this idea-stay tuned! ✨
The Gilmore people forgot to go to the Arkardi Volodos and Tiffany Poon concerts, apparently.
They are indeed great artists! It’s nice to see them doing well on a global scale. Thank you for watching and commenting!
What makes you think they forgot? Tiffany hasn’t posted a TH-cam video in months. Going through another depression? When she needs her 300K followers she will miraculously appear. She’s all about her career.
My good sir, I studied at the Gnessin school in Moscow (kissin's old school) with a descendent from the Beethoven lineage. So I know, my good sir, who is and who is not a good pianist. Which lineage do you come from, my good sir?@@stephen9342
Glad to find a new episode of a pianist I know by name but haven't heard yet. Neither heard of that huge price. I'm sure it will be well spent after listening to this interview.
Could you do an episode with Igor Levit? Thanks a lot.
Thanks so much for your words! Great suggestion with Levit-we will see what we can do! ✨
We are grateful for your support-thank you for being in touch!
It's my first view of the channel of the Living the classical life and I'm very happy to learn more about an incredible pianist, Mr Kantorow, it's a very interesting content, deeply vision of music, competition and interpretation, I will see the video again, I want not to don't miss something ! Classical music will be conserved until the end of humanity, and congratulation to have permitted to have an interview with Mr Kantorow. Brahms is a good choice in order to intreprate romantic music when you are French, because it's not a composer very explored : Mr Kantorow permit to Brahms soul to rebirth in the entire of the world. Romantic era, with agregativ melody, extrem virtuosis, very expansive emotions in contrasts, in other term a cyclothimy alimentated by subito and opposition of caracters result to a magnifical music, and when it is performed by Kantorow, you have a very qualitativ opinion of the Brahms music. I appreciate the Living the classical Life consideration toward mister Kantorow.
Thanks so much for your incredible and enthusiastic feedback-we can usually only dream of somebody to respond as you do-thank you! 🙏✨
@@Living-the-Classical-Life You are welcome !
Zsolt is distracted at 9:40 🤤
Indeed, seems so! Thanks so much for watching and keeping in touch ✨🙏
