Dear Shelly, I would love so much to play for the great pianist Ruth! It would dream come true to play all Rachmaninoff concertos for her ❤ could you please introduce me to Ruth? 🥹

Nice performance. Very enjoyable. Thanks.

Thanks ~~!! Awesome 👌

F.U.N. !

What an admirable person! I love how she's always smiling and laughing while telling these amazing stories <3

Thank you! 0:02:12 Beethoven

Very interesting

you should have a better mic than this interview..I could barely hear her! Too bad...she has many interesting things to say......

Boring beyond words.

To me Dear Mrs Ruth S, your playing is 'spectacular' and i am so glad your Dad chased you around the home.

What an incredible gift you are sharing. Thank God and thank all of you who continue to uplift others and truly beautify our world.

lol i literally do that technique myself starting at a low tempo then going up by one on the metronome , i realize anyone can be great at piano if you just practice slow enough for the mind and fingers to catch up to one another

My Dad loved Beethoven:; but I'm just at the friont door.

🙏🏽🌹

I love Beethoven's sonata in C major, reason : I play mostly in C. Easy??? Till I knew what Chopin teaches : starting with black keys, (because the design of keyboard，black keys are natural for the human hands to reach). This fact I heard from a piano saleswoman who was also a concert pianist 40years ago " music in C is hardest to play ! "

What a living legend. Pure inspiration.

Beautifull I allways admire dificult Beethovens sonatas

wow

♥️

Where did this recital take place?

Beautiful. Thank you so much!!!

Весьма посредственное исполнение. Кто это будет слушать?

I so enjoyed that. At 96 her strength and precision of her playing was a marvel. Great left hand independance. Helped by her judicious pedal usage there was space between the notes which I loved the most. It seemed slower, but was it? Maybe. I just loved hearing it that way. She was at the "Curtis Institute of Music" when she was like 10 years old with Jorge Bolet!! Shura Cherkassky!, and Samuel Barber. They all marelled at knowing Barber was the genius of the group. Can you imagine the people she has met? Wishing you many more years Ruth! Best.

brilliant

Impressive , delightful and adorable !

It was very beautiful. Even with the runs and trillers not perfect, she still makes the music touch my heart.

I'm very curious what Rachmaninoff' told her that she believed would not be popular today. He was Russian, so he definitely was as soft and cajoling to tip-toe around "offending" the student's "self-esteem". I came from a hardcore German, stoic stock and am impatient with weakness. If you have something to say, say it.

What wonderful and treasured is this magnificent artist, Madame Slencyznska. A lovely gift to her friend Japanese Empress friends.

Bravo

3:25 Ruth nails the silent attack on the penultimate chord, just as Rach must have taught her.

Just amazing! Thank you!

My late mother saw Rachmaninov play in the 1930s, so in a weird but warm way, Ruth is also a nice connection to her.

This is so awesome, inspiring and motivating. My thanks to Ruth Slenczyska for sharing this content with everyone :)

Thanks for watching over Ruth and posting these wonderful performances. They are musical treasures, and an inspiration to all of us.

She, Ruth, is the same wonderful musician and pianist that I met nearly 60 years ago. She even baby sat for my then 4 year daughter. Wonderful to see and hear.

Novaes was pretty good in Chopin but her label was Vox, not the best. Lousy sound.

Wow did she really sight read this piece ? It looks like she is performance to concert grade by sight reading a piece she has rarely seen. That is remarkable on so many levels.

Thanks for sharing! Lovely.

Fantastic!!! Thanks for the video!! She is a living legend!!

I'm listening to the sounds which is from the Heaven

I never met Ruth Slenczynska but I went to school (UMKC) with Shelley Moorman Stahlman. I've become fascinated with this wonderful pianist. I especially loved her video about her studies with Josef Hoffman and other Curtis teachers and alumnists. I studied with Abbey Simon who she mentioned. I wish I could still speak to him about his associations with Mme. Slenczynska.

Ruth is very exceptional.

Dear Ruth, you have given me so much pleasure listening to you. You are an amazing pianist and you are definitely an inspiration for me to further my piano practices. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I wish you good health always so that you will continue to play for us. Will continue to be in awe of you.

БРАВО 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

If I could play like that ever in my life, I would donate one eye and a kidney!
