Mikhail Pletnev makes stirring opera debut at the Bolshoi

MOSCOW: Mikhail Pletnev, one of the finest pianists to emerge from Russia in the late 20th century, continues to surprise with his artistic priorities. As founder of the Russian National Orchestra, he has been heard far more frequently as a conductor - often a compelling one - in recent years than as a pianist. Moreover, engagements in either capacity have of late made room for opportunities to indulge his instincts as a composer. The latter development is especially curious given his ultra-conservative style, which seems to have more in common with Rimsky-Korsakov than with current compositional trends.
