Really a good job that valorizes each second of musicality... really beautiful

The cinematography is first-rate here, BUT... to give credit where credit is due: you guys are extolling the work of the editor. This Hall is absolutely loaded with cameras! They’re everywhere & hidden - completely unobtrusive; you can sometimes see one or another of them parked on an unnoticed ledge or hanging from railing (they’re not very big). So the genius keeping our visual focus on the “important parts” of the music is the editor who’s taken all those visual sources and intercut them as you see here. Not to detract from the excellent cinematography & direction, mind you; you can see that in the very tasteful use of zooms and pans.

@@heinzobermite4831 well... agreed, BUT other important concert halls like the Berliner Philharmonie in Berlin is also loaded with cameras and rarely they do good editing...

@@heinzobermite4831 you might be right! I thought this was a live performance, which means that someone is making the decision on which camera shot to choose.

yes. agree. the camera man is also a music lover maybe. understand this not so popular concerto.

"Completely underrated"? Some say he is the new Horowitz!!! Anyway, incredibly talented pianist!

yep just you ....

He is still relatively young, but his career is going very well -- his reputation is rising rapidly.

YES, DEFINITELY HE IS COMPLETELY UNDERRATED ! MOST LIKELY BECAUSE HE IS RUSSIAN: THE WOKE WEST DOESN´T JUGDE BY QUALITY; ONLY BY THEIR IDEOLOGY !!

I don't know....what the hell makes Taylor Swift so great?

Just kidding.

@@rxboy😂👏

In the words of Sir Stephen Hough (who made arguably the most important recording of these concerti) "they're wonderful pieces and very important historically, but [when looking for new interpretative inspiration] you're not going deep into the piece because there isn't a deepness to go into - but when you're revisiting Brahms, Beethoven... it's just infinite."

@@subplantantI revisit the Hough recording from time to time (the best version I have heard so far.) Even if Hough thinks there is no deepness, it’s deep enough for me, as a listener, to keep on listening to it. As I listen, this is indeed a very nice version! I save it for later.

he likely did, Liszt and Chopin both loved and played at least his 2 most famous concertos. 😌

…and there were other piano geniuses around like Mendelssohn and Clara Wieck.

that said, this is indeed an exquisite rendition. 🙂

@@findelka1810 Thalberg

He could perform his own concerto. :-))

... within that stretch, an amazing overhead shot of Dimitry's keyboard prowess at 30:36, doesn't get better than that

My goodness... unreal!

⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘

Also 30:37.

Like 50 times already... absolutely beautiful

Awesome.

nice job camera man

Incredible

heheheha

Just how many keys are pressed in this concerto? And to memorise them a well

Yes, so do I. It is awesome,

Chopin was influenced by Hummel

I didn’t know the last one 🤔😆

Lol

Be sure to watch some of Alexander Malofeev's videos also, now age 20 and better than ever, but performed brilliantly by age 14/15.

@@penniesfromheaven9724 oh, yes, he to is a rising star. But my heart resonates with Dima's performance and interpretation. Brilliant all over. Another pianist that's absolutely #1 on my list is Alexei Sultanov. Genius! He passed away due to brain tumor way too early.

Hummel has been on the map forever. But agreed with the rest, the entire performance was very stunning and well done.

and don't forget the excellent conductor..

I would say Stephen Hough put Hummel on the map.

The piece is lovely, Mr. Shishkin brilliant and sparkling in his playing. The flute player however ... seems to have gone to the William Shatner school of acting for musicians who want to express their feeling for their music via body language. Every time the camera was on him I found myself laughing out loud. It really took away from his playing.

@@samtook3368 Agree. And I think Thompson and the ECO provide a far more articulated accompaniment than pletnev and his band here. Hough had enormous courage and art to assay this thing what? Nearly 30 years ago now..not to mention the b minor concerto Hough did. Be nice to hear Shishkin do that one too.

Long fingers is a fallacy when it comes to playing the piano. Chubby pliant fingers are more the norm if you study pianists hands like I have

Alexandra Dovgan is so much better than him and so much younger

Don't forget the amazing Alexander Malofeev...gaining worldwide fame very quickly.

When I first heard his C major concerto, firstly I thought it sounded like Mozart. Then after a few bars there was the drama of Beethoven. Shortly after I heard Chopin. Absolutely wonderful music that is very under rated.

I’ve always said that Hummel was the link between Mozart & Chopin: he took what he learned as Mozart’s only student, expanded that and then, Chopin was clearly influenced by his music & expanded upon that even more... and yes, Beethoven. There was a bit of a rivalry between Beethoven & Hummel that eventually grew into reconciliation & mutual respect, to the point that Ludwig had willed that Hummel perform musical improvisations at Beethoven’s Memorial Concert. It was there that he met Schubert who was so taken with him that he, in fact, dedicated his final three sonatas to Hummel but, by the time it came for them to be published, both of those composers had died & so, the publisher took it upon himself to ignore Schubert’s wishes & dedicated the 3 to Robert Schumann, who was still alive at the time... There’s a marvelous recording by the Capricorn Ensemble of two Hummel (piano) septets & another by the Nash Ensemble of Piano Quintets of Hummel & Schubert, all on Hyperion, that cannot be recommended enough if you enjoyed this Hummel concerto performance.

@@heinzobermite4831 great info 😁

Hearing this concerto is a revelation to me because you can hear where Chopin drew his ideas and inspiration from, not only is the piano writing and filigree the same, so is the orchestra writing and harmonys. Chopin played Hummels concertos as well. Hummel is the missing link I didn't realize existed before hearing this great performance.

@@frantark2535 all very true. John Field is another substantial influence on Chopin as well, none of which diminishes his greatness of course!

yeah, and about 28 years of tears and sweat every day at the piano. Talent is only 20%, the rest is dedication and work!

I discovered Hummel three years ago at the age of fifty nine. It is beautiful music and must be fiendishly difficult to play.

Why did you stop?

James.Totally agree.

Poor fellow.........
