  • This video should be dedicated to that garbage jury, leaded by the great maffia man Petrov, who did not let him pass to the final, and gave first prize to one of the biggest empty pianist of all times: Matsuev

  • I can't understand why some people are so concerned about speed in music playing. They seem to think that velocity is "always" wrong and of course it isn't. I don't know how you know so precisely Prokofiev's intentions, but he was not certainly obliged to choose the indication "precipitato" whose meaning I am not sure you know. He could have labeled it just "allegro" or "andantino con moto" to suit your preferences. I personally find this interpretation absolutely stunning.

  • Sultanov was a monster, he took chances,he let himself be vulnerable like

    the greatest of actors do when they are in front of the camera.  The likes of this young man will not come around again !

  • @calitats321 he HAS been great and still is: listen!

  • never heard and seen such a spectacular end! Insane or as we say 'waanzinnig!'

  • @gabitico Somebody, higher then Petrov pushed the pedal, to give Matsuev the chance........ If Van Kliburn was there, he would go home after the first round.........

  • ...perf. has more problems than a dog has fleas, but with this pianist it seems not to matter, he has a way of getting away with things pretty effectively...he makes the composition "his own", peculiarly non-prokofievian, yet it hangs together it its own way and sounds gracious and lyrical even when you want it otherwise, maybe...he has "his way" with the audience and the composition, too that is damn near sexual...
