Malgré son jeune âge, Alexandre est déjà parmi les plus grands et je suis fière, il y a quelques années, d'avoir été parmi ses premières auditrices. On pressentait qu'il irait très loin et l'avenir nous a donné raison! Et il ne fait que commencer!
He has an enormous palette of colors, drawing from his great range of dynamics. Isn't it unusual to play this concerto in a major competition, since it is so long (almost an hour)? But if you can play this bear of a concerto well, you can play anything.
Quanta partecipazione emotiva in questo concerto dove si apprezza la sorprendente maturità di un artista che sa esplorare a fondo ogni frase musicale comunicandola con un' intensità piena di passione!
Last year when he was introduced as the newest Gilmore Piano Artist his rendition of Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left hand, left e speechless. This Brahms concerto is pheomenal.
Es admirable lo que logra este joven concursante con la interpretación de esta maravilla de concierto. Desde entonces lo sigo en redes; escuchen su ejecución del concierto número 2 para piano y orquesta , con Valery Gergiev, dirigiendo la Orquesta Mravinski.
Quel merveilleux concerto de Brahms que j'adore littéralement, le deuxième,peut-être le plus profond. Merci à Alexandre Kantorow pour cette interprétation tout en nuances. Il est la gloire de la musique classique en France, ayant aussi une très belle carrière à l'international. Merci à lui.
Прекрасное исполнение, полное попадание в стиль Брамса. Естественность исполнения, масштабно, великолепное отношение к звуку, замечательный ансамбль с оркестром!!! Браво!!!👏👏👏
When Brahms wrote to Clara to tell her about his second concerto he added: “and there will be a great pianist who will understand my thoughts and ideas as well as you do!...he did not include Robert’s name in the comment!😊 Beautiful interpretation and great video! Thank you.
@@Mohabpiano Hello; of course Robert was long gone, I did not mean to be sarcastic….Brahms had always had Robert and Clara on his mind ( complex relationship); we’ll forever cherish this beautiful and monumental concerto!. Take care.
Yo siempre creí que para tocar Brahms se tenía que ser muy corpulento y tocar con un gran peso. En que gran error me encontraba yo, lo que se necesita es una es un a gran técnica, una gran sensibilidad, apara obtener del piano ese sonido tan maravilloso Felicidades ALEXANDRE KANTOROW es Usted un grandísimo pianista, un gran Músico ya son contados los grandes pianistas como Usted Ojalá y algún día pueda escucharlo en vivo
Ужасно, когда прекрасную музыку нарушает реклама, фоном к которой звучит совсем уж низкого пошиба музыкальное сопровождение. Канал медичи мог бы ограничиться 1 рекламной вставкой ((((
Le Concours Tchaïkovsky est un concours international créé en 1958 par les autorités musicales russes à l'origine pour le piano uniquement ; il est international au niveau des musiciens concourant pour le prix et international au niveau des œuvres interprétées. Les Russes en hommage national à un des leurs ont donné le nom d'un compositeur de leur pays (Tchaïkovsky), comme les Polonais ont donné le nom de "Concours Chopin" en hommage national à Chopin ou encore les Belges le nom de "Concours Reine Élisabeth" ; attention : en hommage à la reine consort des Belges (et non d'Élisabeth II du Royaume-Uni), cette souveraine belge était une grande mélomane et protectrice des arts. pour leurs propres concours. Cela paraît évident et normal et ne signifie en aucun cas que des œuvres de Tchaïkovsky ou de Chopin doivent être obligatoirement inscrites aux concours Tchaïkovsky ou Chopin (s'il y en a c'est avec d'autres compositeurs et non par unique obligation)
I don’t think so. The recent ClassicalFM chose 30 young musicians under 30 and it placed Bruce Liu at No. 1 position, way ahead of Kantorow. DG signed on Bruce.
@@DellDreamer I liked Alexandre best, not saying Liu is a bad pianist, he has an excellent technique, his Chopin's piano concerto interpretation was not good at all, but I respect people's opinion, none of us has the same. Some prefer Liu, others García (me) other Aimi Kobayashi, so either way they are all great that I think, we all agree 👍. They also posted a list of the 25 BEST Pianists of All Times, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Argerich, Pires, Horowitz, don't remember anymore names. Do you think most people would agree with this list? Of course not, music is very subjective..
To be honest, I think that the conductor intentionally screwed up the Chinese finalist to let this French pianist easily won. He has attractive gesture but his music is so so. For all the Chinese people here, listen up, dont idolize the west, you have enough strength to beat anyone. To all the great humble Chinese fellows.
@krazdonio4882 : Alexandre K. his ancestor came from Russia. Hence the name Kantorov which was spelled as Kantorow by the French immigration. His father is a well known conductor. Greetings from Holland-eu 🌷
Exactly. An Tianxu would likely have won had they not mixed up the sequence of his two performances. Shameful. Even so I appreciated An’s performance of the Rachmaninoff in contrast to the “winner’s” exaggerated affect
Kantorow so Boring player. This Brahms playing horrible. Kantorow The weakest Tchaikovsky Winner all Time. Peter Donohoe was Boring Donohoe hot The second prize
@@RaineriHakkarainen The key points of Kantorow's playing are the details and the best rhythmic vitalness. No one plays a so vital fashion (except Sokolov, who uses more tempo rubato)
@@markito3311 Agreed. But speed isn't everything. It's Kanterow's melodic contrasts that I find impressive. Richter is sometimes too wooden for my taste.
I haven't even watched it yet it's already boring, ugh. Bring my champagne to celebrate the audacity he has to perform such bore. I wouldn't be surprised if this was in my baby cousins slumber playlist, distasteful.

Hadn't heard such level of playing for decades.
Fantástico Pianista!!!!! muchas gracias!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I lovethw paceof this. A hair slower than I am used to in some parts. There's a little more time to appreciate every note

A poet, Kantorow!
Ich bin begeistert,ein herausragender Pianist von dem wir noch viel hören werden.
That makes the difference the technics forgotten defintely for musics on my soul. Thanks Sir

Superb, superb pianistul!🌹
la fougue et le talent de la jeunesse
Félicitation! Bravo à lui pour cette magnifique interprétation, bien accompagné par l’orchestre symphonique !
Sublime interprétation d’un jeune virtuose français 🇫🇷 Quel plaisir à l’écouter !
Malheureusement nous avons perdu sur TH-cam les 4 ballades de Brahms jouées à Lilles et le lien est devenu privé..Mais un CD va sortir j'espère...

Poor old Robert. He was in an insane asylum by then, after attempting suicide. Unfair to joke at his expense, no?

Il est français !😉
Mais son père est russe, il a les racines et l'âme russe 😊 et français aussi.

why clickbait? It's the truth.

@@helenamarie4337 it’s clickbait, not becuase it is lying, but because it sounds like it was writen like that to call your attention
I'm confused why a piece by Brahms is part of a Tchaikovsky competition. Am I missing something? Perhaps there aren't enough pieces for the piano?

Дирижер похож на Василия Эдуардовича Петренко??? Он? Он же на острове проживает? 😂 кто диригент?
9:53 валторнист проникся
A fittingly languorous tempo if anything!
That's funny, Ryan!
Man sollte Brahms nicht vor dem 40. Lebensjahr dirigieren.
warum nicht? :(
Way way better than that Liu pianist who won the Chopin 2021. Bravooo Alexander, Brahms is very difficult to interpreter, bravooo 🌹

Poor Tianxu An. He shouldve won the competition.
Where is he now, that 'poor' favourite of you? Kantorow is such a very delicate pianist.
Tchaikovsky did not like Brahms' music
Ridiculous! This is Andante at best, not Allegro ma non troppo! So stiff!!

no, Richter and Gilels were fast.

This is one the best piano concertos ever written. I prefer the first one, but a lot of people praise the second
