This performance was absolutely fantastic. 6 minutes of straight virtuosity. 

[JackGibbonsHQ]

Beautifully played Alvin! And pianists know this virtuoso arrangement by Pletnev is a lot harder than it sounds!

Delicious!!

I love that interpretation and btw he has really big hands lol

[vanburikwouter]

@lio689 You know what they say about people with big hands!

they have big feet

I just uploaded a video I recorded of the same beautiful melody played by 20th century modern classical music composer, Professor Walter S. Hartley. It was his last selection at his final piano recital before he retired from teaching at SUNY Fredonia, March 1, 2000, Adams Art Gallery, Dunkirk, NY.

Superb.

[solentdenis]

Maybe I have not heard others play it but this is absolutely sublime.

[Edgieism]

Beautiful, just beautiful!!!

[theartist3311]

Absolutely THE most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard....and I thought the orchestral version was great! His delivery of this piece is just......brilliant. absolutely brilliant. Bravo!

@jen1989z just because he isn't convulsing on the bench doesn't mean there's no feeling in the performance. listen to it without watching the video

[beethovenxy]

@paragoonify

But: listen to Nikolai Tokarev - also without watching the video ...!

[beethovenxy]

Ohne Tiefgang und Ruhe, vor allem in der ersten Hälfte. Kommt an Nikolai Tokarevs Interpretation bei weitem nicht dran!

Deliver, OP.

[Spiritakis]

I just like to add that this performance actually puts to shame Pletnev's own (studio!) recording of the piece.

[Spiritakis]

Fantastic, Alvin, breathtaking performance. An what an amazing transcription by Pletnev. Liszt himselfmight have been happy to be in the shoes of either.
