Have you heard Pletnev's piano transcription of Grand Pas De Deux from the Nutcracker?

Mikhail Pletnev recorded in 1978 for Melodiya.

Grand Pas De Deux composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

No one has to answer and I would prefer it if no one did ( :
I just wanted to share this as I only discovered this recording myself the other week and the ending struck me as especially beautiful.

Hi Mephy, for those out there that would like the sheet music for this piece it is published by:

Moscow-Muzyka
MZ 15412

The book contains Concert Suites from the Ballets "The Sleeping Beauty and the Nutcracker" by Pletnev.

I had to special order it from
http://www.burtsmusic.com/

Pianist are fortunate to have such a talented transcriber/pianist increasing our repertoire.

Hi, mephy. I have heard a few Tchaikovsky transcriptions by Pletnev - most of them from 'The Nutcracker' - and I have enjoyed them enormously.

Thank you for posting this :-)

EDIT @ mephy: Oh yeah! So you did! Good isn't it?

Definitely has a 'feel' for this music: wonder if he also conducts? If he doesn't, maybe should try his hand at it.

Ah, information/knowledge - thanks again to our esteemed "del".

Albeirch

Edit: my SHAME - just not up with the times I guess. [but 3 TD's for that? I'll just chalk it up to my devoutly devoted, detractor TROLLS!]
