I have never seen a pianist so intense. It is as if he becomes one with the piano. He is so absorbed with the music. There is no one on the planet like him.
Really impressive !!!! One of the best performances I've ever heard of this piece ! Everything so clear, perfect dynamics and so energetic! Amazing ...
He played this when he was about twelve (it's on youtube) with an intensity that uniquely anticipates this. It was raw as hell -- too raw, maybe; a little more "clarity" needed to find its way in. Now he's found it's way in here, and blasted it right back into raw -- raw what? sinew? precision? emotion? incandescence? Incredible.
Ohhh awwww ohhhh! Whatever planet your from... I want to live there! Forever. You visit & play & walk. Play... oh really that performance was mindfulness on a bit. Wow!
Whoof! It's a little uncanny, that chess-genius-looking grin. The organ pipes behind him like so many teeth hanging down add to the unhinged impression. Marvellous, and so strong!
The late (as of last month) Byron Janis gave a remarkable performance of this on live TV. (th-cam.com/video/lynGabPCAwY/w-d-xo.html). No one then or now can match Janis's focus. Also, Yakov Zak has an excellent performance of this piece on YT. However neither of these predecessors were as stylish as Alexander Malofeev (whom I applaud for speaking out against the war in Ukraine.)
@@yannicksoprano6590 He plays it so much better than Yuja Wang, she's a good pianist but many times like in Kapustin's Toccatina she often puts show off above musicality. Also I'm sure that in a few years Malofeev will reach a more mature level

Best version of Prokofiev's Toccata I have ever heard in my life!
Me too. Yesterday live Rheingau Music Festival
I had no idea this piece could be so expressive! bravo!
He captures the piece so magnificently. And it captures him.

pace, percussion
He's amazing! ❤️
Alexander Malofeev, you genius, the music world loves and thanks you. Spasibo.
Fantastic! as usual Alexander is magnificent. I would love to hear him play Prokofievs 4 Etudes opus 2
Always amazing 👏👏👏

Bravissimo!

I’m no musician, but I did not hear a single mistake in either rhythm or notes. Legendary work and a performance equal to it.
The clarity is insaneeeee!!!!
Fabulous!
Bravo
Temperament 🎶🌷🍀
che bello .

3:34 _ 3:38 ... i love it in this WAY !
❤❤❤
Great tempo
excellent
true genius.
Unfortunately camera angle.
The voicings…
100 points for Slytherin!
I guess it takes a Russian to know a Russian, and at what other time of life is intensity so intense?
Fede: Alphonsophele le chat ronronneuse!!!
Did someone in the audience say "coffee, large" right when he begins to play? And then he looks at the audience for a second.
noo, it's just woman, who is recording video, saying: "Prokofiev, la toccata"!)))

Horowitz and Yuja Wang too
Can you sing while playing the piano??Can you talk while playing the piano?
Difficult
Shut up, Glenn.

Not as jaw dropping as hearing the Yuja Wang version
Personnellement je préfère l’interprétation de Yuja Wang…
Мне тоже больше нравится интерпретация Юджи Ванг.Там больше эмоций,,разнообразия чувств.Там просто космос,что-то фантастическое!
Charles Cocchia is on an other level
@@LudwingvanchopinI didn’t know this particular interpretation but I definitely agree with you now!
I prefer Malofeev on the to Yuja . Listen to how Malofeev modulates near the beginning. He has more colors in his pianism
