Wow I am blown away. I have listened to all of Alex's performances of this concerto which I can find on youtube and this is surely the finest of them. He has such mastery technically that he is able to concentrate entirely on the music. There were so many things in this performance that I have not heard or noticed in previous performances - by Alex or anyone else. I have struggled with some of Alex's first movement cadenzas but not this time. He starts with an almost Mozartian finesse which takes him almost through to the actual cadenza and then he gradually, almost nonchalantly, ascends to the heights without ever losing his rhythmic flow - which I felt was so much a problem in the last performance that I heard - his effortless control carries him through so that the whole movement is unified and then, after the solo instruments have played the melody something miraculous happens when we reach the E flat section and Alex took us somewhere I haven't ever been before. This magical quality carried on into the slow movement. Alex understands this movement so well that the movement's mulitifarious changes in tempi suddenly made complete sense! In the tranquillo sections (they arent normally played so tranquillo) we are again taken somewhere new. Then the finale just blew my mind! He had obviously planned with the orchestra to do those sforzando chords at the beginning of the second subject and they were a revelation. In the piano cadenza near to the end where actually turns to the brass to coordinate with them those difficult staccato chords (which I have never noticed before!) and then the whole piece just erupts and it is glorious. The man shouting nonstop afterwards would have been me if I had been there. Oh, Alex. You surpassed yourself!

I completely agree.The sensitive and mutually supportive interplay between Alex and the orchestra's soloists - particularly the woodwind - greatly enriched the performance, each giving place to the other as appropriate. I must say however that I found the raw emotion of his Frankfurt rendering of the 3rd totally convincing. it gave us a real insight into who Alex really is. It also revealed the power of Rachmaninoff's music to release our deepest feelings.

I still prefer his performances with the Russian orchestras.. one of his most famous videos online is that with Botinis and the Russian National Youth Symphony Orchestra at the Tchaikovsky Hall. You can't deny the greatness of that one.

I’m happy to have another interpretation of this beautiful concerto by our dear Alexander Malofeev. He is one in ten million!

이 공연 현장에서 보고 앞으로 말로페예프의 공연은 무조건 가는것으로 마음먹었습니다. 부라보!♡

Magnifico? Alexander has soul mixed with shear Mastery of his particular craft . What a gift for sure and what a blessing in this modern world of ours where technology has given us all the opportunity to hear him . Amazing.

На мой взгляд, гениальный концерт величайшего композитора Рахманинова, гениальный пианист Александр Малофеев! Оркестр тоже на высоте. Просто буря эмоций! Всё сошлось! От души огромное спасибо за эту прекрасную запись!

What to say? Want to find fault? There isn't, doesn't exist, a transcendental technique, a balanced, powerful, sweet sound. You play now with your soul My dear friend, emotions who look into your eyes and see your young, deep, fresh soul. Really heartfelt congratulations. Carlo

So müssen Menschen mit einander kommunizieren. Mit Kultur! Bravo, bravissimo! Malofeev ist ein unglaubliches Talent. Er hat Gefühl, Technik und Temperament, alles, was ein Musiker und Pianist braucht. Wunderbar und herzlichen Dank für die Möglichkeit es sich hier anzuschauen und natürlich zu hören!

I heard this performance live, it was mesmerizing and breathtaking, I hope Alexander will visit Seoul often!

A. Sultanov tragically passed away so please do not say history repeats itself! Alexander is a miracle and I guess a gift for the world but he is squarely in the great Russian painistic tradition.

So glad I found this! Had a chance to listen to Sasha with Pasadena Symphony last week, and was hugely disappointed with the orchestra. This one is outstanding! Thank you! 😅

Непревзойдённый! Гениальный! Весь Рахманинов у Александра необыкновенный, как, впрочем, и другие произведения. Счастье слушать его и жить этой музыкой, которую он дарит всему миру! Спасибо огромное за предоставленное видео!❤❤❤

What a BEAUTIFUL performance by Alexander, and the entire orchestra. BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Whoa!, such a fast tempo, but his playing is beautiful and flawless as usual. I am fascinated watching his hands. He accomplishes all that sound variety while staying impossibly close to the keys. Watching his hands is like watching an animal in nature, doing what it is meant to do.

While I prefer the later version of the cadenza to the ossia one that Alexander plays, his musicality and overall performance of this concerto is superb., and to my mind better than Yuchan Lim's excellent performance at the Van Cliburn. While playing this, he transports both himself and the audience to some higher plane. The playing is infused with soul and meaning.

3rd moment tempo just right… and the lightness of touch those first pages is impressive. Cant wait for those concluding pages… but I will. Excellent work by this conductor holding it all together. The violas in particular are impressive throughout. 34:30… played in an unusually delicate manner…artist choice. Then a prestissimo tempo… they hold it together……so far a very cohesive way here. The octave cadenza before the closing statement is stunning. The last statement is tremendously musical and exciting. Bravo!! Thanks for posting this!

Serious question. Watching a performance rather than listening only seems to have a completely different effect. I hear more. Wether Rubesnstein, or Malofeev. As for Malofeev, I hear accents, melodies that I was scarcely aware of in other performances. Great performances like this were made for live performance.

Jack, what's the question- whether one hears more by watching? What I hear from this guy is clarity and a very unusual knack for voicing (i.e. deciding which voice is most important and making sure it's heard over the other notes.) Switch over to almost any other pianist and you hear muddiness by comparison.

Dimitris Botinis és qui millor ha sabut adaptar-se i qui més ha entès Malofeev respecte el piano concert n3. Aquesta versió és bona, sí, però el pinanista no s'hi sent còmode, potser perquè és massa lenta i continguda.

Why compare Kissin, an excellent pianist, a revelation when he emerged, who has been playing for years, is perhaps twice Alexander's age. Makes no sense. These comparisons are ridiculous. Yuchan Lim, Kissin etc. each has their own style, expresses their own personal experiences, heart. What makes music so fascinating, wonderful, satisfying and why I am never bored is the variety and difference of great musicians. And not to forget the geniuses who made it all possible, in this case the incomparable Rachmonioff.

I don’t think so, yeah Yunchalim’s rach 3 was good but I don’t think you can compare it to this performance, Alexander shows too much soul in what he’s doing, there’s a lot of emotion, technique, colors and more… and he plays with a lot of maturity for his age, and not only in this performance he does this in every Concerto he plays. So I think that Yunchan still has a long way to go to get to the level of interpretation of Malofeev 😊
