Horowitz gave his memorable comeback recital at Carnegie Hall in 60s. But Pletnev's recital recorded here in 2000 was no less exciting event as you can tell from ecstatic ovation from audiences.
The recital open's with magnificent account of Bach/Busoni Chaconne, and then moves on to electrifying performance of Beethoven late sonata. But Highlight of the recital must be four Chopin Scherzos played through without break as if the pianist was possessed. The fire and sheer concentration of his playing is absolutely mind-blowing, delicacy of tone reminiscent of Horowitz. Scriabin's well known Op.32 Poem displays Pletnev's super-sensitive pianism. He finishes with the formidable Islamey as encore piece played with amazing ease.
Recording quality is very life-like and present, audience applause is at time too overwhelming. This recital will certainly remain as the legendary event in future.

Once again Pletnev fails to disapoint in his debut Carnegie Hall recital given on the 1st November 2000. A fantastic offering of baroque, and romantic music including all of Chopin's Scherzi. If thats not got you going then the second disc has 5 encores to delight, including the awsome 'Islamey' by Balakirev. Pletnev's virtuosity and musicality is draw droppingly fantastic.
The moods and tone colours he produces from his model "D" is superb holding his audiences attention throughout this mammoth recital.
What a guy!
If your at all interested in the piano then you MUST have this CD. I promise you will not be disapointed. E-mail me your thoughts.

Pletnev's clear vision and brilliantly dovetailed recital programme takes the listener on a fascinating journey from Bach to Balakirev. Pletnev excels as a narrative pianist, and even if you don't agree with his interpretation, you have to accept the intellectual validity of his view.
Pletnev sets the tone with the imposing Bach/Busoni Chaconne in D minor, before moving into the heart of his recital, the Beethoven Sonata no.32, Opus 111, where his playing in the 2nd movement is perfectly judged and so exquisite you find yourself holding your breath. This is followed by a magical reassessment of the Chopin Scherzi, 4 delightful stories played with breathtaking virtuosity and playfulness, as Chopin intended.
The 2nd cd covers 5 contrasting encores. Pletnev thrills us with some stunning Rachmaninov, ethereal Scriabin and scintillating Scarlatti before a rare gem - a dizzying Moszkowski Etude in which the technical perfection of his playing, so fast and with such dynamic control, is astounding. He finishes with a jazzy Islamey - the sheer audacity of playing this, one of the most difficult piano pieces written, as a 5th encore, is mind blowing.
This cd showcases a brilliant pianist at the top of his game. It is a real treat to hear the piano played with such a masterful combination of control and passion. I unhesitatingly recommend it.
