Amazing!! I played this piece my Freshman year recital in the early 80's and have always loved it! After all of the interpretations i've listened to on KZbin, this is the only one that i felt wasn't rushed (our interpretation of dynamics and tempo are almost exactly the same!). I really loved hearing this! Brought back many memories of all the hours and hours i spent in the practice room. hah! Beautifully played. It was lovely to hear no muddiness or too much pedal. Hope you have more for us to view...? I think i need to pull this piece out again and see if i can relearn it. Thanks for the inspiration! :)

From the 5:00 mark: I think this is the most astounding finish for this piece that I've ever heard! I'm now going to have to go back and listen to my piano teacher's rendition of it...

Actually, I'm not sure there isn't a problem with the psychoacoustic model of the audio codec used for encoding this. I'm perceiving more than six chords when playing this back at normal speed. In slow motion it's clear she's just playing the normal six chords. Part of the problem may be constructive and destructive interference - since I wasn't actually there, I can't be sure this isn't what it actually sounded like... we'd need a very high fidelity recording to be sure. I could check with some of my friends whether they think this could be an accurate reproduction of what it sounded like in concert?

My preferred piano hammer action test is at the 1:22 mark. If you're testing a piano's hammer actions, you should probably be testing more than only the one note - however since I kinda trusted Yamaha's quality control to be fairly consistent, I simply stuck to the preferred note for this experiment.

I shall always remember the first time I heard this piece (on vinyl as it happened) years ago, played by Lazar Berman. This pianist was quite the titan and yes, he didn't hold back, a dramatic , swashbuckling interpretation. I loved it. But isn't it one of the beauties of music, to hear a quite different rendering, almost caressed in comparison to Lazar. You have caught and held something very special here, Sonya. Looking forward to hearing more of you.Thank you

@ethanl.16995 жыл бұрын
3 years late, but it seems that she starts with little pedal in the beginning, and slowly adds more and more pedal as it crescendos into the next phrase.
@FriendlyHugo4 жыл бұрын
Plus she seems to be good at percussion! The hand-timing is essentially African drumming, just with the fingers held in the right places for standard (Bösendorfer?) pianos.
El hábito no hace al monge. Claridad, elegancia, sonoridad, expresividad y sobre todo rigor, que ya es poco frecuente con interpretaciones excesivamente "personales" para lucimiento...

Easily the the best (and best-recorded) of the dozen or so KZbin performances I have seen of this piece (in my opinion blah blah). Some of the others were faster and with as much technical command, but this one has superior dynamics and musicality for my taste- I like her instincts for when to play it rubato and when to be precise and authoritative. Go Sonya!

Quite a romantic view... I hear the old IXth Century Churches of ARMENIA ringing their bells in distress. Ms. KAHN is very balanced. The gives greater effect to the piece. She knows when to pound and when not to. Ms. KAHN's dressing code says: "Yeah, I look like a disrespectful rebel, but I don't do drugs, I do TALENT." You go girl. No disrespect or provocation meant on my part.

I have seen many piano concerts and some have technical skills and some have interpretational skills. With Khacturian I don't understand him other than he is wild. I had the privilege to turn pages for my friends recital. It is a difficult piece. In classical music the key is interpreting for the proper era and style. Something I am always to do. My 2 cents. The clothing tends to give her less points and more on technical than interpretation.
