Mikhail Pletnev – Chopin: 12 Études Op. 25 No. 7 In C Sharp Minor Cello

This all-Chopin disc marked Mikhail Pletnev’s debut as a pianist on Deutsche Grammophon. Although Pletnev’s interpretive approach was castigated in some corners, his playing is admirable and extraordinarily manly, with a decidedly Slavic cast and yet with all kinds of elegance. One is struck repeatedly by Pletnev’s crystalline arpeggiations, the velocity of his passage work, his singing tone, his rhythmic suppleness, and, above all, the grandeur of his sound. And does DG ever do a number on that! If you’ve ever turned pages or played on a real stage, this is the sound you hear: big, resonant, incredibly solid, rich in overtones, and slow to decay. The weight and immediacy of the lower octave are better captured here than on most other recordings, as is the action of the dampers. -- Ted Libbey Made available with the generous support of #googlearts&Culture Mikhail Pletnev – Chopin: 12 Études Op. 25 No. 7 In C Sharp Minor Cello Listen to ’Chopin’: Subscribe here for more classical video clips – The Best Of Classical Music: Discover full concert performances on DG Premium - registration and basic library are free: Get your front row ticket here for exclusive streams and world premieres with leading artists: _______________ Find Deutsche Grammophon Online Homepage: Facebook: Twitter: Instagram: Newsletter: _______________ 最优质古典音乐 – 此处订阅: Le meilleur de la musique classique.
