[Impressionist1]

He is like a restorer of the old pieces.Totally reliable pianist and magnificent performance

[Lieder83]

I like it!! beautiful performance!

[MozartK365]

u know what I felt from his interpretation? I felt rainbow, sunshine, spring, as well as thunderstorm, tornado, quakes, volcanic eruptions; pure and deep love, overwhelming power and passion, and also turbulence, anger, violence; all in 8:33...simply awesome interpretation

[mariezni]

the highest and most exceptional warmth of playing and aesthetic ideas while playing this sonata by the part of Pletnev.never ever felt so close to an interpretation as long as i live and admire pianists.this kind of genuine and sublime emotional responses applied to specific moments of and in the piece are what create for me the unique divine result.only Pletnev can do and only special souls can understand it!

[CxC2007]

he looks quite evil..

[pianobug92]

I like this tempo sooo much better than other performances of this movement.

[Amadeuswolfie]

[manabisugiru]

thanks for the upload. Pletnev is so underrated; he's easily one of the most gifted pianists of his generation.

[KarrotKun1]

He always looks like a priest.

[MukudaiYoshiyuki]

Bar 37-38 is speechless. Seldom heard like this! He knows what composer meant. Rachmaninoff played in similar way. So did later Horowitz.

[TheGishgal]

Simply DIVINE! Superb! Only Rubenstein played it nearly as well, technically, artistically, interpretively. Horowitz butchered it with "clinkers!" Every note, as well as the "inner voices" perfectly placed. Tempi are exhilirating!! No wonder he's such a FINE conductor!
