Yes, brilliant! I saw him doing this at the end of a concert streamed live from Siberia the other day, here on RUclips (that concert did not stay up afterwards, sadly) and it was just amazing. Denis is both a top-flight classical pianist, a highly creditable jazz pianist and a superb showman.
I think Gershwin would definitely approve of the additional material. It blends well. Nice to see/hear jazz so freely played in a society where fascism/communism once reigned supreme in favor of grand, state-led stoic music!
He needs to do a dvd of this stuff for sure (he regularly plays with small jazz groups). I saw him performing a similar half-improvised jazz version of the Rhapsody in a concert streamed live from Npvosibirsk the other day here on RUclips.
Not bad, excellent and super, BUT: Would be absolut 100%, if the orchestra not seat passivly during the jazz parts and Matsuev hold more common parts with the original Rhapsody in Blue ( and of course, transform into the jazz language as exciting jazz-transcription.). The idea super, the impressions fantastic - but the full pleasure would be complete by much more controlled jazz-parts together with the orchestra (in harmony lines example, as "orchestral carpet under the jazz improvisations" . The genius is very good, the controlled genius is would be excellent.
I have only heard his Rach 2 and 3 before, never imagined this side of him omg
What Laura Th said! Matsuev is a tour de force. Would love to hear more of his improv and Jazz. BRAVO !!
Ohhh...dear me! Speechless! ;)
ESE PIANO!!!! excelente!!!! increíble interpretación
Wonderful. Unique piece, unique performance. Wish I could hear something like this live
