Chopin-Pletnev: Cello

CHOPIN: 12 Études Op. 25 No. 7 in C sharp minor, The Cello

PG 1997 · 7 min · ★ 7.0 · Music, Documentary

This short film is made for the "Chopin-Pletnev" disc which marked Mikhail Pletnev's debut as a pianist on Deutsche Grammophon. In the film, we witness Mr. Pletnev's journey, starting from him on his way to studio, through his performance of Chopin's Etude Op. 25 No. 7 in C sharp minor "The Cello" and the process afterwards. One is struck repeatedly by Pletnev's crystalline arpeggiations, the velocity of his passage work, his singing tone, his rhythmic suppleness, and, above all, the grandeur of his sound.

Directed by Emile Berliner
