This guy has EVERYTHING a player can wish for and he uses those abilities to absolutely perfection. Softer passages played with deep emotion and a beautiful touch, the faster ones fiercely and with fire. I can't think of anyone that can make a transcription this good and play it this well live. Not even Horowitz or Cziffra. I am gobsmacked. What an incredible human being.

[TheThriceIsRight]

How an entire orchestra can be trapped inside one man amazes me.
Bravo!

This pianist and his transcription can not be from this world. I admire and adore you, V. Gryaznov.

[joeowens]

Horowicz may have passed on; but now we have Gryaznov. His control of his instrument and his ability to draw from it the greatest thunder to the lowest whisper moves out of the realm of the rational into the realm of the mystical.

What a fantastic composer, what a pianist !

[charleshudson]

You are totally orchestral in your transcriptions.  A modern-day Liszt.

[ybonnecalibaraibanez]

the melody itself is a combination of romance, nostalgia, suspense, and tragedy. a real masterpiece!!!

[piotrekcienciala]

this is awesome, he deserves to be more popular!!

[NeilM]

As of three days ago, there were still tickets to hear this superb pianist in New York City; Monday March 6 in Carnegie's Weill Hall. This man should be filling the main hall!

[hjusn]

He has several piano transcriptions by other composers that are equally amazing. They are available for purchase online.

[charleshudson]

Listening again to this glorious transcription, played to perfection, by the supremely talented Gryaznoff. Really, not even Liszt could top this piano solo that is totally orchestral.

[DanielStipe]

I don't even know what to say. Never have I been so completely convinced by both transcription and playing at the same time. The transcription is stunning; it pushes the piano farther toward having the effect of an orchestra than anything I have ever heard, with just the right amount of fill in all the right places. The added notes always heighten the emotional drama of the composition, and are never there just for show. The playing is, needless to say, superb in every way, completely musical and convincing with rock-solid rhythmic sense and gorgeous long lines.
This guy is a super-genius and should be a household name among pianists. Thank you so much for sharing.

This is the most amazing piano transcription of any piece I've ever witnessed. This is a literal masterpiece.

[highground]

It's so cool to hear different interpretations of this piece, and this one certainly is a treasure!

[ChriNel.Musics]

It becomes even better and more interesting, the more often one hear it! Best man!

[alvinkuo]

Unbelievably wonderful. To hear this live would be a privilege.

Magnificent transcription.  Gorgeously played.  So orchestral.
