15 years old playing this type of a piece with such skill and maturity is mindblowing

[violettevasco]

Je viens de découvrir l’existence de ce jeune pianiste, je ne connais pas grand chose à la musique classique mais cette magie musicale unie à la grâce du visage de ce jeune artiste seront étonnantes et inoubliables. La Russie peut être fière d’Alexander Malofeev. 🇫🇷

Please let us hear #3!
As an American, I can say that this musical culture is the greatest gift that Russia has given to the world!
So many beautiful, talented artists have come from Central/Eastern European countries!
Thank you all!
This young man is beautiful and brilliant!

He was only 15, this concert was in 2017. Now he studies at the Moscow Conservatory. Very talanted, amasing, incredable, I can't find words...

[dontwalkaway]

I don't know about anybody else but every time I sit and watch this, not just listen to it as I go about my work, but actually sit and watch Alexander (and this entire young orchestra for that matter), I am just in AWE. What a treasure to have this uploaded on youtube.

[松本ジュン-cr]

He played the real Rachmaninoff agreed that he is he greatest young ARTIST ❤

[ElkeVielweber-qjlf]

Nicht nur der wunderbare Pianist sondern auch der außergewöhnliche hochkarätige Dirigent sind ein Erlebnis. Außergewöhnlich die Vorstellung des Baltic Orchestra in Mülheim an der Ruhr. Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis

[Cookie-gioc]

As an 18 yr old piano student this just shocked me…like the amount effort he had to put to play this effortlessly just makes me motivated to practice practice practice

[genepatterson]

What an outstanding performance by everyone involved. I have huge respect for this very talented young man, I simply can not find the words. Rachmaninov did not compose music for amateurs but for those who have a serious love of music that can touch the soul. The amount of work this young man has put in to reach this point is staggering, it requires a dedication that only a few are willing to put in. His talent will shine for many years to come.

I appreciate the elegance of the phrasing, the perfect technique, the strong and delicate execution with feeling, but dosed without smudging and without any interpretative excess. The gesture of the hands on the keyboard is very correct and elegant. Phrasing above all others: as a great and mature interpreter. Great fairness and professionalism. At the end the very tender image of a very young little boy: and you cannot believe that this splendid performance comes from this child with such a fragile and delicate appearance. And then the encores, to remind you that the little child who smiles as if in disbelief is actually already a great pianist, an exceptional interpreter.

Сын играет в этом оркестре. Приятно видеть и слышать великолепное исполнение Александра и соло сына на кларнете на 12:30 минуте)

[louiselincoln]

What was I doing when I was 15? Rachmaninov? Not even close! My heart was filled with joy as I listened, almost in disbelief. Alexander, thank you!!!

[Adagio]

Several say Alexander is 19 here - No! This concert is from August of 2017. Alexander was still only 15 then, which makes it all the more extraordinary! Incredible talent combined with unbelievably hard work, great teaching and upbringing and a great soul combined to make him a pianist to be renowned for the ages. Gorgeous Rachmaninoff 2nd Concerto.

[christinesora]

I am a French Piano teacher, I can tell that Alexander Malofeev is one of the greatest pianists and musicians we ever saw in the world. He is amazing, so sensitive, intelligent, deeply understanding music, playing so clear like cristal, he made me cry ! An angel comes to play piano for us... Thank you Alexander !!!

[julietaaboka]

Thank you, Sasha! Thank you, Russia! Life is more beautiful because of you! Love from Bulgaria!

[f.apollom.arenas]

This is the most breathtaking piano performance I have ever seen (at any age). This young man is a genius. He is excellent in every aspect.

[sofiak.]

Mr. Rachmaninoff must be smiling, up there in heaven. Alexander, you are one of a kind. <3

[mimiseton]

An absolutely phenomenal young pianist. I was weeping within moments! Such emotional maturity - and masterful understanding of the music. A magnificent soul.

[leonhue]

When beautiful Alexander plays, he owns the piano and sprinkles star dust all around, creating a better world.
