Thank you for 10,000 views! I did not expect this video to do so well (comparatively to my others)
@otacs2
One of the best recordings really. I think Pletnev plays with joy and melancholy all in one.
@Dylonely42
- How many great melodies do you want to compose ?
Tchaikovsky : Yes.

Heheha!
@VrishankPandey
Has to be one of my favorites out of Tchaikovsky’s works. All the 12 movements really associate not to just a season but to a whole scope of calmness and brightness by just listening too. Pletnev was really a great Tchaikovsky player, one of the greatest for the whole seasons recording out there!
@brucehain
His playing is so colorful, you can hear the instruments of the orchestra.
