Alexander Malofeev's virtuosity is such that I'm transported to heaven listening to and watching him. The absolute maturity and cognitive input: truly astounding. Meeting Malofeev on RUclips has been one of the greatest experiences of my life!!!!!
The greatest pianist on planet Earth at the current moment. I saw Pogorelich on numerous occasions in the 1980s and revered his playing, but Malofeev is now the reigning master, no question.
Just stunning playing. Listening to this young artists performances over the past three days I just cannot express adequately enough the effect that he has had on me. I think what impresses me most is his command of the WHOLE. I noticed this in the Rachmaninoff sonata I heard yesterday. Yes every moment is full of poetry and meaning but it is the WHOLE which he unveils like a sculpture. He has an understanding of the entire piece and his fingers just have to obey his vision. He is totally unsparing in the demands he places on his technical abilities - a very Russian trait I think - I cannot think of another pianist at the moment who effects me in such a profound way.
@newgeorge ..I completely agree with you. He seems to have that same effect on many of us. He's mesmerizing as he seems to become one with the music. A gift to the world of music.
My absolute favorite pianist, in every sense of the word: he isn’t just technically superb, but has an exquisite tone and fabulous interpretation.❤️♥️❤️
Ein Abend ohne Malofejew ist ein verlorener Tag Ich verfolge alle sein Auftritte und frage mich, wie es ihm möglich ist, so ein umfangreiches Repertoire so mühelos zu beherrschen. Schade dass er nicht mehr nach Deutschland kommen darf.
I am simply in awe of this young man. I'm like a kid in a candy store discovering all of his music videos. What a blessing for us to watch and listen to the fruits of his labor!!!
A limpeza de execução mesmo nas passagens mais difíceis, a sensibilidade nas melodias mais lentas, o romantismo do compositor ao lado de um virtuosismo maduro e consequente. Esse rapaz será um dos maiores pianistas do século XXI!
It's when the piece slows that this (still a) boy, shows greatness. I have listened to many other pianists play this scherzo. But none have the pureness of heart that comes through in each note of Alexander's. He brings to us something from deep inside. From the soul. I hear this same sound in everything he touches. Like a signature. No words can express my thanks.
I’m really taken with this performance. The crisp and characterised interpretation, subtle and voiced... it’s really compelling and fresh. I think it’s quite masterful actually
Another great performance. This young man joins the ranks of young brilliant artists who are replacing the warriors of old who have left the stage. This young man will be with us for many year to bring forth, once again, brilliant interpretations of the greatest music written. experience and maturity will bring new and even more dazzling interpretations of the great works than he has present until now. Center stage, Alexander. The world waits for your next performance.
This is the same year Alexander performed (incredibly) the Rach Concerto No.2. I am so in awe of this young professional. He plays the music with amazing insight and truly gorgeous expression...no matter what he plays, and this, btw, is beautiful!!! It seems he is completely in love with the music he is performing. Such a masterful performance. Edit: And I just noticed about a week before this solo performance, he also performed Tchaikovsky's Concerto No. 1...with two encores, one of which was Ravel's "Ondine!!" I wonder if he had a chance to sleep during that month!! What a brave and dedicated young man!
Superb! impeccable technique and countless poetic and expressive insights.A great and original conception.Comparable to Krystan Zimerman who is probably the greatest living interpreter of Chopin. Bravo!
Nicht nur sein geniales Spiel, sodern auch seine Emotionen sind bewegend, wenn man sie in einigen Übertragungen zu sehen bekommt ((Gesicht). Er ist unglaublich mit seinem Können . er ost phantastisch!
Es un Niño, y sorprende verlo como toca . Los Scherzos de Chopin , son bastantes difíciles técnicamente y su interpretación lo mismo para Alexander a esa corta edad. Ahora es uno de los mejores Pianistas del Mundo .Gracias por Compartir y Muchas Felicidades toca Maravilloso este Jovencito A. Malofeev 👏👏👏👏👏⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘🎹🎼🎵💗
Несколько раз слушала Вас в Баку на концертах, когда вы были совсем ребенком, и тогда вы производили неизгладимое впечатление. Приезжайте в Баку еще, мы вас ждём!
Malofeev is my favorite young pianist. In my opinion, he is the best piano prodigy in our time. I remember watching Kissin but Malofeev past young Kissin by a mile. I like his firing spirit and style and firing excitement often cause problem in playing and competition. But he is not perfect. I believe in a very near future he will be mature, and his playing will be refined. The same goes for Mikhail Plenev and Pogorelich, I like these two a lot too but I find they are good at some types some time too, but not great at some others. Just like Rubinstein is my Chopin's favorite and I don't believe some one will past his Chopin in our lifetime. If you watch Pogorelich today live, the chance you are disapointed is rather 50/50 even though he still possesses best technique as many others. He may be too much into teaching or making money as many pianist his age. Sad. For Malofeev, if anyone doubt, put this clip next to the guy who fail final stage last Chopin concour Alexei Tartakosky and compare. Malofeev is my favorite young pianist he is most fun to watch for me now. But he needs to refine his playing.
Exceptional interpretation, with high level phrasing, some very refined passages, worthy of a great artist. If I were listening to a performer at a competition such as the Chopin Competition I would have no doubts whatsoever. A wonder in our eyes and, more importantly, in our ears. Eccezionale interpretazione, con fraseggi di alto livello, alcuni passaggi raffinatissimi, degni di un grande Artista. Se stessi ascoltando un interprete ad un Concorso quale il Concorso Chopin non avrei dubbio alcuno. Una meraviglia ai nostri occhi e, più, alle nostre orecchie.
Мистика. Но мне думается,что реинкарнация Рахманинова-пианиста. У него была великая мечта-вернуться в Россию и чтоб его живьем услышали соотечественники. Потрясающее исполнение до слез. Спасибо Александру и благословение.

Alexander Malofeev and Ivan Bessonov are the heirs of Evgeny Kissin and Daniil Trifanov - and, together with them, of the last century's great Russian luminaries.
I would love to see him compose also, but you know what, if he never composes a single thing, I'll be happy to just continue to listen to all his great performances which are truly a blessing.
The trouble with emphasising the contrasts, in the manner of Ivo Pogorelich (the greatest living pianist, whom I'm sure Malofeev has been listening to) is that it can, on occasion, undermine, rather than enhance, the emotion which the music was written to convey. Though I think Alexander is second only to Ivo, I do, here, prefer Robert Neumann's account of Chopin's First Scherzo. It is less mannered, more subdued, but equally intense.
Kissin's childhood recording of the Chopin concertos is marvellous, but thereafter . . . Pletnev I believe is a friend of Pogorelich and doesn't even regard himself as being in the same league as Ivo . . . I admire Pollini for playing Stockhausen; indeed, Karlheinz's Klavierstücke should by now be part of the standard repertoire of every concert pianist . . . If you want to compare Pogorelich with anyone, try Cziffra . . .
I've never heard this scherzo before--and I know why: it communicates and evokes a torment far above the average listener's pain threshhold. I wouldn't want to listen to it every day.

I agree, there are some dynamic markings in the beginning that he ignores but manages to do something with this piece that I’ve heard no other pianist do
Another machine gun pianist playing fast sections so fast it sounds like someone programmed it on MIDI and then dialed it up so fast the tones don't have a chance to make phrasing as they die out. It's awful.

The greatest pianist on planet Earth at the current moment. I saw Pogorelich on numerous occasions in the 1980s and revered his playing, but Malofeev is now the reigning master, no question.
You are absolutely correct.
Exactly. The same Pogo effect finally appeared after many years.... This young man is a genious.

YES , i do AGREE . just refine a bit more . the ESSENCE of the GREAT I there INSIDE HIM .
As if you can do better
Absolutely incredible... I used to play this piece (after a fashion!) so to hear it played to perfection was just beautiful... thank you😊❤
I just enjoyed it immensely - without being bogged down in making comparisons.
Это что ж за гениальный педагог должна быть у этого мальчика,чтобы взращивать такого гения!
Мне напоминает Рихтера и по мастерству и по выражению лица и даже как держит спину. Я бы сказала: Рихтер вернулся ❤❤
Умничка!!!
Brilliant, that's the first word that comes to mind. Beautiful. :)
This is amazing! I’ve only ever seen him play rachmaninoff and other Russian pianists! It’s great that he’s versatile as welll!!!

The great Richter's legacy is alive. Rest in piece MAESTRO - THE YOUNG Richter of new generation is coming!
Why does he have to be a “young Richter”? That is an insult. He is a young Alexander Malofeev. Himself, and no-one else.
Fantástico
parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷

I've never heard this scherzo before--and I know why: it communicates and evokes a torment far above the average listener's pain threshhold.
I wouldn't want to listen to it every day.
Audience at the premiere: gasping

Похоже, в мальчике Святослав Теофилович продолжился. И, похоже, готовят его не для России.
Вячеслав Александров Да, абсолютно - ето исполнение здесь... как оно похоже на Рихтеровское. Да, инкарнация. Гениальный мальчик.
Очень похоже. Одна сущность, манера исполнения и даже выражение лица.
Здесь его заклюют, уже начали (конкурс Чайковского). Дальше учиться все едут...туда...

Very sensitive interpretation of Chopin 's tormented soul.
