His greatest achievements have been not as a pianist, but in the establishing and organizing of The Russian National Orchestra. On these records we will meet the pianist - and not the conductor. With his 40 years Pletnev is one of the youngest in this collection of the pianists of the century. The music on the CD's was recorded between 1978 - 1990, and is of course, of perfect technical standard. The music is russian - in every sense of meaning. Maybe Pletnev's own arrangements of Tchaikowsky's Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty tend to be a little kitch'ian, but in the complete Les Saisons op. 8 he is taking full revenge. Platnev is playing with technical brilliance - but also outwards, as shown in his interpretation of Tchaikowsky's 2nd piano concerto.

Extractions: Pletnev, of course, has performed and recorded the work himself as pianist (DG 571 576-2), and one would expect him to be a sympathetic accompanist. In some ways he was, toning down the mordant, brash colours of the Shostakovich Festive Overture which opened the concert to suit Tocco's relaxed style, occasionally bopping his head appreciatively in time with Tocco's playing. However, with tempi consistently on the slow side and favouring gentle, muted attacks, he failed to build up enough momentum or energy to bring off any of the major climaxes convincingly. Even the big, Hollywood-style tune in the finale felt dull and uninvolving. Spines remained distinctly untingled. Those dark undercurrents rose to the surface in the Adagio, with a solemn brass dirge giving way to David Cohen's impassioned, haunting cello solo. In this movement, Shostakovich reduces his orchestration to a bare minimum, and Pletnev gave this sparse music plenty of breathing room, reveling in the rarefied, mysterious atmosphere and letting the many silences speak for themselves. Despite this, the music never dragged and he drove it steadily towards a monumental climax, timpani hammering out their funeral rhythm ferociously before giving way to a poignant, unaccompanied celesta line which floated wearily above a strange, desolate landscape.
Extractions: Mikhail Pletnevs recital, recorded for telecast on BBC 4, showed once again this pianists unpredictability. Heart-stoppingly beautiful moments vied with Pletnev the eccentric to leave one frustrated. Excerpts from Schumanns , Op. 99 boded well. The eloquent simplicity of the chordal world of the first Albumblatt complemented the fast and even second. Point-making threatened to steal in the third Albumblatt , however, a trait which was to be much more marked in the Fantasie . Perhaps it was the fourth (Sehr langsam) which was the most successful of Op. 99, Pletnev highlighting the harmonically advanced language. The Fantasie brought out the best and worst of Pletnev. Unfortunate, perhaps, that Uchida recently gave an unforgettable performance of this same piece over the road at the QEH recently: memories were still fresh. Two facets of Pletnevs interpretation seemed the greatest hindrance: over-pedalling and a tendency towards the somnambulistic. The approach to the climax of the march was particularly cacophonous and distracting. Some concerns over Pletnevs realisation of Schumanns voice-leading early in the performance were confirmed by the finale, where harmonic directionality was more confused than veiled and beautiful. Uchida strived to bring the listener close to the composer; this, however, was very much Schumann arranged by Pletnev.

Extractions: Portrait Mikhail Pletnev His career began with the first prize at the 1978 Tchaikovsky Competition. Today, Pletnev performs with conductors such as Abbado, Chailly, and Blomstedt, and in all major concert halls. The other side of the coin is the shyness. When Pletnev acknowledges the applause, his slender hands folded together, he almost seems to be apologizing for what he has done. For having shown that one can bring keys, hammers, and strings onto a wavelength with the thoughts and flashes of insight that Pletnev finds in the notes. In 1990 Mikhail Pletnev founded the Russian National Orchestra in Moscow, and in a very short time fashioned it into a top-notch ensemble. The orchestra has an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon. Concert tours have led it to legendary venues from the Concertgebouw to Carnegie Hall. It was the first Russian orchestra to make guest appearances in Israel and in the Vatican. In his free time, Pletnev goes skiing in the Alps. At rather high speeds, as he admits. And with a certain predilection for regions in which the air becomes thinner and colder. Someone who comes from above the sixty-fourth degree of latitude prefers it a bit more uncomfortable.
