[Nganguenf]

I saw this video 7 times! YOU'RE ASTONISHING! This is the best rendition in all youtube!

[Nganguenf]

Jouer cette pièce avec autant de brio est mon nouvel objectif...Avec un peu de volonté et un piano, j'y arriverai. Mais en attendant, toutes mes félicitations; Le puissant Liszt aurait apprécié ton interprétation j'en suis sûr!

[Nganguenf]

Your performance is outstanding! Your play is.....so "Sharp"!!! This is my new aim : to perform this piece as well as you did!

[hookdump]

1) You're really good

2) The lady on the right is falling asleep lol

[pianodesu]

This Yamaha Grand piano sounds so nice. I'm truely delighted.

[peszeczek]

Love or hate him? I don't know what I should to do... I'm annoyed. ;)

[prioryy]

[bored1980]

Don't know how I ended up here, but I'm very impressed. If you market yourself well, you could easily be the next Liberace (if you want, of course).

[hiya0412]

[J3SS13rox]

[MusicaEver]

[brandondockery1]

The easiest part of this whole thing is at 4:44.. :)

[yamaXchii]

I always found people who express their passion by arts such as music,dance,painting etc. were amazing. Good job.

[bfeyalcin]

You sound great even on a Yamaha

[CYYZspotter]

I have listened to every version and this is my favourite! im learning this right now! You are one of my favourite Pianists on Youtube! please add more videos!

[asusp527a]

Впечатление, как от исполнения Иегуди Менухина! Спасибо!

[miledyolga2]

Блестящее исполнение. Спасибо!

[gohanisbuckethead]

amazing performance , but its more amazing that he is younger than everyone else in that room by at least 30 years.

[LauraMorgan1905]

Блестяще!Браво.

[alois1junior]

Simply amazing 

[varvaraturova]

Independent music critics' award.

Journalists from the leading mass media outlets of

Russia, which worked during XIV International

Tchaikovsky competition have announced the Independent Prize of the critics.

The prize is awarded to the pianist Alexander Lubyantsev. The Prize is awarded for his performance during Tchaikovsky competition, which demonstrated exceptional artistic individuality and the ability to keep an open mind to the performing arts.

[MissAlevtina333]

и как он мог не попасть в финал на конкурсе Чайковского??

[wolfkuehn]

He is better than the rest. Very clean playing. Perfect.

[korlock3000]

Were you using the sostenuto at the beginning?

[OldRabit]

Totally outstanding!!!

[hope4thesilentplanet]

@FeotusWarrior yeah, odd. some musicians seem to become so cynical. maybe that happened to the audience. or else they don't want to let on. or every one of them is having a bad day.

[wieniawski]

Good luck on the Tchaikovsky competition!

[PianoMaster221]

Why aren't you as popular as Lang Lang, or Evgeny Kissin? You are just as good as them.

[afertyus1000]

@PianoMaster221 bang bang gimme a break how can you mention him in the same breath as the top pianists??? he's a showman this guy and a thousand others are better than frogface banger

[PianoMaster221]

@afertyus1000 I didn't say best, I said most popular. PLus , he's not THAT bad. I'd rather listen to him than listen to pop music.

[afertyus1000]

@PianoMaster221 yes i agree with that,

[Gusakov]

Замечательное Исполнение !

Спасибо..

[FrancisKelvin]

Bravo!! Your age matches this piece =D POWERFUL! ENERGETIC!

[micheldvorsky]

Great job, man. You need a better audience.

[EnzoFoove]

He totally owns this piece. Amazing.

And he's just so fucking CUTE!

[caduceusguru]

I love the smirk you get toward the end of the piece. Excellent performance!

[Valyyy99]

amazing! he does the same face as my brother when playing the piano! :D unfortunately he is NOT my brother wtf

[gonzalojosevb]

@bonesaw08 Para escribir estupideces que no dicen nada bueno de ti, no las escribas. Y de arte no sabes nada.

[jnellybags]

Are you kidding me?!?! SOOOO GOOD! I'm in pure shock....that was so brilliant, what a talent you have! Congratulations!

[EduOrta142536]

omg i already shared u at facebook:D

[Claire563]

Wow, I will be happy if I'm half as good one day o.O

This is really amazing ;D

[maxkomponist]

I would like to watch him playing Brahms Variations on this teme by Paganini. Although the theme is the same, the way it is developed is totaly different, Anyway, Idon't know which one is harder.

[wolfkuehn]

My favourite performance of this piece in terms of clarity, virtuosity and absolute technical control. Amazing. Very few of the big names come close.

[bigbrotherbp]

You seemed like a demon! :D But of course, in a positive way! :D Bravo! I'm wondering how long did it take you to perfect your playing? Thanks!

[Milkyrain]

This is Amazing... amazingly clean and precise... really makes me want to play like him... but of course this piece is that dang hard to play... but thankx for posting it ~

[gonzalojosevb]

Felicitaciones por tu talento Alexander, prometes ser un brillante pianista. Excelente ejecucion. Lo unico que me hubiera gustado, es que tu ejecucion fuese en un piano Stainway&Sons, de sonido superior a cualquier otro, incluyendo los Yamaha. Congratulations on your talent Alexander, you promise to be a brilliant pianist. Excellent execution. The only thing I would have liked, is that your execution was on a Stainway & Sons piano, it sounds better than any other, including Yamahas

[giorgiamiscia]

Era sudato xDD ma c'erano delle vecchie che sembrava stessero dormendo o_o tuttavia è stupendo...non so se, come difficoltà, al pari del 24° per violino xD

[Ravel87]

you kinda look like chopin :D

[SammyP321]

Why does everyone in the audience looked bored shitless, especially those women behind the piano?? that was an EPIC performance!!

[Sashomei]

fantastic

one of the best interpretations i ve ever heard

[Vmaxjorge]

First of all.....it is spectacullar!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!

One thing I have noticed, is that the average age of the audience is about 60. This is very sad to see that new people don't attend such events....

Congratulations again!!!!

[DCLiszt]

You don't use much pedal so that everything appears very clearly but i think that it is a bit too dry for liszt and for the room where you played...

And in my opinion, this piece needs a lot more rubato!

Still it's a very good and impressive interpretation :)

[monstakididee]

THE most balanced performance .. This is the BEST SHIT there is out there no shit

[luke1841]

Alexander, your interpretation of this piece is my absolute favorite. You have ruined all the other pianists interpretations for me because yours is so much better. Such speed and technique...I am in awe every time I watch this video

[Saphitrite]

Прекрасное исполнение! Хорошая запись! Потрясающий темп в шестой вариации!!!

[JupiterIV]

@Saphitrite

-Excellent performance! Great recording! Breathtaking pace in sixth variation!

Are you speaking from Paganini's standpoint, or Liszt's?

- Вы говорите с точки зрения Паганини или, что Листа?

[Saphitrite]

@JupiterIV

Sorry, I`m not sure what you mean. This etude was written by Listzt inspired by Paganini`s virtuosity. Did I understand your question in the right way? Sorry, if not))))

[JupiterIV]

@Saphitrite Isn't it obvious? This is a transcription for piano of Paganini's 24th Caprice.

[Saphitrite]

@JupiterIV

So? What has is to do with the difficulty of sixth variation? I barely play it and obviosly not with this speed! Play the piano, you know...

[thejix1]

Great work, im learning this now

[thejix1]

nice man! im learning this now.

[anonymousQ45]

Impressive technique great speed and virtuosity.! Thanks for posting

[CYYZspotter]

wow...amazing touch! how old is he?

[lubyantsev]

@CYYZspotter Now I'm 23, but in 2006 I was aaaa already 20 I guess)

[JupiterIV]

@lubyantsev Nice interpretation of Paganini's Twenty-Fourth Caprice!

[CYYZspotter]

@lubyantsev amazing! how long did it take you to learn?

[lyvkiddo]

@lubyantsev Congratulations. Truly amazing.

[monstakididee]

who the hell are those old ladies in the back.. they look real sinister

[stevemaster247]

flawless

[crushonhim]

I like your performance.awesome!!

[musicioso]

This is amazing. He has some skills i have never seen from other pianists. But i dont like this interpretation that much...its to clean, it sounds empty. I would love to see Volodos playing this piece.

[ClauGriggio]

Excelent! Please, go ahead!

[crushonhim]

woooooow!! amaing!!

your so hot!!

[gott1rott]

This is one of the cleanest interpretations I've heard.

[krizzia232323]
