It was dramatic when Krutoy recognized Dimash. Here is now Dimash at the white piano.
I asked if Krutoy is still alive
Answer from google
Yes, Igor Krutoy is still alive. He is 71 years old and remains a highly active figure in the music industry, continuing to compose, produce, and collaborate with classical and pop vocalists around the world. [1, 2, 3]Here is a look at Igor Krutoy over the years:Would you like to check out some of his recent musical projects, or are you looking for a specific live performance of his where he plays that iconic white piano?
So then I asked why Dimash was at the white piano now.
This is what Google said:In that video, the roles have beautifully reversed.The video you are referring to is for the song "Samal," where Dimash Qudaibergen is playing the white piano, and the young Kazakh artist singing is Nurzhas Sadirbayev. [1, 2]The connection to Igor Krutoy is exactly why this visual feels so significant to fans:1. Dimash is Stepping into Krutoy's Shoes
When Dimash first rose to international fame, legendary composer Igor Krutoy took him under his wing. In countless iconic performances, Krutoy would sit at his signature white piano, playing the arrangement and guiding the stage, while Dimash stood at the microphone delivering the powerhouse vocals. [3, 4]Now that Dimash is an established global superstar, he is paying it forward. In this video, Dimash is acting as the mentor, composer, and producer. He is the one sitting at the white piano, providing the musical foundation to uplift a younger talent. [5]2. It is Dimash's Own Composition
While you are used to seeing Dimash sing songs written by Krutoy, "Samal" was entirely composed and produced by Dimash himself. Dimash is also an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, and he played the piano track for the studio recording and the video. [2, 3, 6]3. Supporting the Next Generation
Nurzhas Sadirbayev recently won Voice Beyond Horizon, a musical program spearheaded by Dimash to highlight exceptional voices. To champion Nurzhas's talent, Dimash gifted him this original composition, organized the orchestra, and sat down at the piano to film the music video with him as a powerful endorsement. [2, 7]The white piano serves as a poetic, full-circle visual nod to how Dimash was once supported by a maestro, and how he is now using his own platform to do the same for others.If you'd like, I can find some of Dimash's older live performances with Igor Krutoy so you can compare the two eras, or give you more details on Nurzhas Sadirbayev's musical background!
