Супер! Тончайшие нюансы, безупречное владение звуком, едва уловимое рубато, "чуть позже" в сочетании с внешней "простотой" исполнения ...Поэтому Плетнев - лучший!

You must be joking. This performance is actually superb, it is natural, sweeping, colourful, with a gorgeous piano tone and every note full of meaning. Few pianists can do it this way. Of course there are Gulda, Lupu, Ashkenazy.. But Pletnev's stays amazing
