    • Master pianist Mikhail Pletnev

    Music lovers around the world cherish Mikhail Pletnev’s unconventional interpretations, which are exciting, virtuosic, challenging and gripping each time one hears them. His performances even of familiar works are so fresh and surprising that the pieces seem to be being played for the very first time. Pletnev immerses himself in the music with every fibre of his being, becoming completely one with it, and takes his audiences with him into extraordinary realms of sound and emotion.

    In 2023, Mikhail Pletnev gave just two piano recitals in Germany: in the Berliner Philharmonie and at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt.
    The joint composition with Alexey Shor was a highlight of the programme: a sonata overflowing with melodic ideas, emotive explorations and expressive poetical images. A number of virtuosic passages make high technical demands on the pianist.

    Press review

    Gramophone

    Alexey Shor’s Piano Sonata is co-credited to Pletnev, who apparently reworked it to Shor’s satisfaction … Attractive? Absolutely, especially in a reading such as Pletnev’s that’s not likely to be surpassed.

    The classical review

    It’s a rare experience to hear such freedom and individuality from a pianist of Pletnev’s stature today. … The recording boasts a realistic balance, capturing the applause and subtle audience noise, offering a truly immersive concert experience.
