    Dear Alexander, I'm a lady of 57 from Argentina. My most beloved composer is Rachmaninoff of whom Mr Pletnev once said "he's not a pianist, he´s not a composer, he's a soul", well I feel like you "channel" Rachmaninoff´s soul. Thank you from my heart for your thousands of hours of hard work and dedication. I wish you a beautiful and long life and I hope you can come to Argentina to the Teatro Colon sometime. With love, Vivian.

      You’re right and I believe he is as close to Martha Argerich as we’ve yet to achieve in a young man although I’m unsure if like myself and Martha (the Queen of piano), he’s able to duplicate music after hearing it only once but as he (also commits as do I) all the music to memory, I’d assume so.

      @@tcharles2466 He plays too much russian or romantic music only, therefore he lacks serious bases, the sound isn't gold quality, the phrasing and structures are sloppy. Great talent, but didn't improve much since he was 15 or so. And he is as close to Argerich or Ashkenazi as the Earth from Alpha Centauri. To make a valid analogy/comparison between pianists at such level, you have to know and be able to hear a lot of details.

    Dear Alex,
    I hope you’re taking very good care of yourself these days. Don’t you think for a minute that the Montreal cancellation is any reflection of you. There are so many people touched and moved by your sincere and authentic artistry, and “purity” in your music making. I was so happy to hear you live in Boston in February. Come back to the States soon…. I’ll be praying for health, peace, love and abundance in your life…🥰🥰🥰

    This lovely piece follows a beautiful poem by Ekaterina Andreyena Beketova:
    In the morning, at daybreak,
    over the dewy grass,
    I will go to breathe the crisp dawn;
    and in the fragrant shade,
    where the lilac crowds,
    I will go to seek my happiness...
    In life, only one happiness
    it was fated for me to discover,
    and that happiness lives in the lilacs;
    in the green boughs,
    in the fragrant bunches,
    my poor happiness blossoms...
    Alexander’s interpretation is so matching with the poem. Exquisite and beautiful. I can see the blooming lilacs and even smell the sweet fragrance. My poor happiness blossoms...
