[@shu3088]

トータルパッケージとして圧巻だったように思います。Preludes No.24の最後では知らないうちに涙が流れてました。ショパンの生きた過酷な時代における訴えようのない孤独、苦しみ、悲しみ、怒り、失望のようなある種現代にも通じる複雑な感情を愛実さんの演奏で感じることができました。ショパンの感情と私たちを彼女が繋げてくれている、これは本当に凄いことだと思います。ファイナルの素敵なコンチェルトも期待しています！きっと大丈夫！

[@laoebpsy]

Amazing pianist. Introvert and sooooo deep. She has so matured. She is an exceptional gem.

[@まこっちゃん-r9r]

このセミ・ファイナルでの前奏曲の演奏は本当に圧巻だったと思います。 前回のコンクールからの６年間、小林さんがピアノとともにどれほど深く自分の中に沈潜し、奥底にある苦悩をはじめとしてどれだけ多くのことを見つめ、そしてまたそこから出て世界にある喜びをはじめとしたさまざまなものを見つけ出したかが、本当に音としてすべて表現されて聴こえてくる演奏だったと思います。 前回のコンクールでの小林さんが天才少女の面影をまだひきずったさなぎだったとしたら、今回の小林さんは羽化して蝶となり、自分の意志をはっきりもった一人の大人のピアニストとして私たちの前に現れてくれた、そのような思いを私は持ちました。 小林さんがさらにファイナルでのコンツェルトの演奏でどのように羽ばたいてくれるのか、私は本当に楽しみでなりません。

[@fox-id6152]

I feel the pain and sadness now for Aimi. For me she was the best. Maybe her playing was not universal, best for everybody, but she is in her own way..special. Her music goes through me and bring me in beautiful and dramatic and colorful world. She should get better than this.. hopefuly she is happy and not sad now..like me.

[@paolofrigeriomusic3691]

in my humble opinion, she is the absolute winner of the competition until the final stage. and also the 2nd movement of the concerto was out of this world. but in the first and specially in the last movement of the concerto, she was not "in touch" with the orchestra, playing her own story, sometimes "aganist" the conductor. i also love this kind of "fight" but not the jury i can imagine. Anyway Aimi you're the one who figure out Chopin's music in a totally personal adn different way. I love it. Thank you and take care of your gift. Paolo from Italy

Aimi got 2nd highest average score in the third round, but was still behind Bruce. If she did well in the concerto it would probably be 2nd or 3rd prize, to be fair.

[@rinsim]

This performance of the preludes is going to set the benchmark for generations to come. There are elements of sadness, darkness and melancholy that connect each piece like they really are a single giant unit. I felt so transported in this uncertain, foggy, almost uncomfortable and beautifully painful atmosphere that kept me so focused throughout the entire performance. At times I couldn't really believe at her magic. This was an incredible experience just sitting on the couch in front of the TV. Imagine being there! Every person in the world should listen to Ms Kobayashi playing this. Astonishing! Also she is very beautiful ;)

Never heard any better version of live preludes than Aimi’s preludes here. Absolutely sublime experience, an universe of nuances, emotions. Each piece stands out in its own way, so well controlled given the fact of the suffocating atmosphere at the competition. What an artist!

[@tonytony8747]

I love her, but that's a stretch. She should get a medal this time though. She was robbed in 2015.

[@j.vonhogen9650]

It's pretty good, but if you want to hear a truly legendary pianist perform the preludes live, I'd recommend Bolet's famous 1974 live recording in Carnegie Hall. There are many other epic live recordings, but the one by Bolet has been a best-selling Sony recording for many years. Highly recommended!

[@jellospeed]

@@j.vonhogen9650 If you must refer to a performance from nearly half a century ago to draw a comparison, by a dead artist no less (no disrespect to Bolet, I think he's great!), then I think Ms. Kobayashi has done quite well.

[@j.vonhogen9650]

@@jellospeed- Well, I just wanted to mention one of my favorite live recordings that is still widely available. I could have mentioned other live recordings that are equally impressive by pianists who are still alive, like the great Nelson Freire, but just to be clear, I wasn't making a point against this young candidate at all. She did great. I just thought I'd mention Bolet in case the OP wasn't familiar with his famous Carnegie Hall recording. I'm not challenging your opinion in any way either.

[@jellospeed]

​@@j.vonhogen9650 I'm actually thankful you mentioned Bolet. I collect classical piano recordings on vinyl, and while Bolet is well represented (mostly playing Liszt where I feel Bolet really shines), his Chopin preludes from 1974 is missing - something I will need to address!

Among the best. But: Grigory Sokolov, Martha Argerich Tokyo 1976, or Pogorelich's. This last one is genius level. You might say you like Aimi's better, but one cannot really say they _are_ better. But she is correctly slowing down the little notes at the end of that last one which is rare for some reason.

[@SunThathong]

MAGNIFICENT, TRANSCENDENTAL-almost SPIRITUAL-playing! Aimi’s the epitome of GRACE, BEAUTY and SERENITY combined. Never too harsh or aggressive for the sake of showmanship, unless required by the music itself. She serves the music, and not vice versa. The range and complexity of characters she brought out in the Preludes are astounding. From the paining sorrow and sense of inevitability of No. 4 16:10, the warm gentleness and childhood nostalgia of No. 7 21:23, the heavenly forgiveness and sense of possibility of No. 13 28:51, the natural beauty and loving embrace of No. 15 33:20, the burning anguish and lost glory of No. 20 47:21, the flowing fury of no. 22 51:17, to the conflicting chains of thoughts and unsettling truth of No. 24 53:04. INCREDIBLE! CANNOT WAIT to see her in the final!

Aimi is by far one of the most talented and emotional pianists I’ve ever heard. I will be surprised if she doesn’t win. And the slightly hushed tone in the opening of Prelude No. 5 is absolutely exquisite, and the No. 6 inner voicing is so rich, it kind of sounds like bells. The last one is so powerful, but somehow kind of delicate that seems to be sprinkled in, and the tone, like with all these pieces, is absolutely outstanding and full of depth. The passage at 54:08 is so rich and deep.

Only Aimi conveys this to me in every note, because deep within her she has a profound connection with the spirit of Chopin, perhaps like no other living pianist today.

[@makotoda50]

全く同意します、オーケストラの音量に埋もれて細かなニュアンスが伝わり難く今回の小林さんのアプローチの仕方には合わない物でした、 聞き取りやすくある程度ストレートに揺らし過ぎず簡潔にまとめる方が分かりやすかったのかも知れません、カナダの方がそういう感じで弾かれていました、もちろん素晴らしい演奏でしたが 深さや苦悩の表現では愛実さんの方が好みだと思いました。

同意です。ピアノ自体がオーケストラのようなものだからね。ホロヴィッツはコンチェルトをほとんど弾かなかった理由を「オーケストラは邪魔だから」と答えたそうです。

正にその通りだと思います。 いっそショパンはコンツェルトを残さなければよかったのに、とさえ思ってしまいます。(ショパンのコンツェルト、嫌いではないです。むしろ好きなのですが、ただコンクールのファイナルという位置づけはどうしても納得できない。ピアノの詩人ショパンのコンクールなのですから。)

ショパンはコンチェルトとソナタが嫌いだったそうです。当時は作曲家と演奏家の区別がなかったのでショパンは自分を売り出し食うためにコンチェルトを書いて自前で演奏したそうです。 なのでマズルカや前奏曲のようには上手く作れなかったのだと思います。 小林さんの前奏曲、特に17、19番は聴いていて胸に込み上げてくるものがありました。

This was beautiful sentiment. She is ready and will 🏆

[@cherry-up4wc]

I can't help but admire her performance. 6 years of thought. I want her to win👑

[@sfyoko]

She’s a true genius, so stunningly beautiful. I’m sure her goal is to get into the first three this time.

[@GarySchmidtPianist]

am immortal performance for the ages. Will be listening again and again. It strikes me that perhaps Gould's relationship to Bach is somewhat analogous to Aimi's and Chopin.

[@Johannes_Brahms65]

I hope she wins. When listening to the others I hope they win too, but with her I hope more that she wins. She makes strength and warmth, power and elegance, form and contence go together. Narciss and Goldmund, Apollo and Dionisus, Steinway and Chopin.

[@katbullar]

this is something veeery very special, absolutely beautiful. Each prelude is a pearl.

[@piotr6652]

How mesmerizing and engaging Preludes 😇🥺😍 I had to recover from this performance for a long time, in a positive sense.

[@wawa12123]

이번 대회 최고의 연주

[@maegamikirisugi]

Wow!! I didn’t know that it was such a lovely collection of songs Chopin 24 preludes. I’ve never liked it when I was a piano student over 20 years ago. I didn’t feel the value this collection to be honest. Now I’ve pulled out a dusty Chopin preludes score from the bookshelf. I’m deeply touched with turning pages of the score while listening to Aimi.

[@Karlinberlin1]

Wonderful performance. Hope she medals this time.

[@Karlinberlin1]

I´M listening to these a year later and they`re more than a great moment in a competition. They are a a reference performance. She had the courage to take her time and give a unique take for each of these gems. I hope this performance was archived by DDG or another for future generations.

[@nancystratton1587]

Her Preludes have drained me. She's exceptional. My absolute favorite.

[@GarySchmidtPianist]

Still recovering 12 hours later. What a transcendental experience. Simply amazing.

[@kunikpiano]

Me too. Preludes!!!!

[@markpeterson3220]

Yes - Aimee, Sorito, and Gadviev are my favourites

[@AndreJorgeOliveira1]

Amazing pianist, amazing rendition, I loved it very much! Brava! Come play in Rio de Janeiro

[@user-cs7nz3pl3w]

Magiczne doświadczenie, preludium deszczowe, nr 23 i 24 oglądałam wpatrzona jak w obrazek. Każdy dźwięk zinterpretowany zgodnie z tym, co czuję i jak sama bym zagrała (gdybym umiała).

[@solbriller1]

This is the artist above the others at this competion. Balanced between drama and beauty when needed, the understanding and personal interpretation - plus 100% the abilities to do what she want. Not only running for speed tests, but that she can better too

[@いちごみるく-r7v]

前回のコンクールも良かったのですが 今回は更にいいですね。魂が入ってる演奏だ。すごく成長してるのがわかる。 前回入賞していたら、今回のこの演奏はなかったのかも。

[@atsushishiraiwa9478]

流石に貫禄がありますね。 5年前より強いオーラを感じました！ ファイナルが楽しみです👍

[@マコマーゴ]

What a exquisite performance! I feel I'm listening to the voice of her soul. I think many people feel like that.

[@strobeant144]

Wow, such a great contest but I hope she wins. My favourite performance of the entire competition so far.

[@johndaker9489]

This was an epic historic performance. She is by far the very best.

[@jungwirthmartin]

Lets see if the jury has the same opinion

[@kzelmer]

@@jungwirthmartin probably not,. Number 16 was blurry as hell: too much pedalling

[@rjg728]

@@kzelmer after a performance like that you are quibbling about the pedalling in no. 16? Seriously!

[@khalilmutallibov]

@@kzelmer omg you probably not seen Krzyzowski's 16th prelude, that was real hell

[@trifonovfan9819]

It was fine. The “Hades” is very difficult. And you forget this is a very reverberating hall. I thought Aimi did a good job. Name another in this competition who did it better?

[@kamint2258]

プレリュード賞があれば差し上げたい！素晴らしい演奏🤗✨✨✨🎹

[@Iiilliililiili]

너무 대단하다....실력이 정말 뛰어나고 들어도 들어도 질리지 않는 연주다😭😭

[@碧戸けい]

ずっと何年も何年も愛美さんを応援してきました。そしてこんなに美しい魂の音楽を今奏でてくださることに言葉では言い尽くせぬ感動があります。誰にも真似出来ない真の音楽。本当にありがとうございます🙏。

[@s.shizuka6825]

本当にストイックなまでにご自分で追及された彼女にしかできない 音楽の世界ですね。素晴らしいの一言。 ポーランドのクラクフ音大で教えている方が愛実小林はもっと上の 順位でもおかしくないと不満そうに言っていました。 彼女がかなりの人達に認められているという事ですね。

[@Profchoa]

Wonderful performance. Aimi you should have won. So gifted. Best Chopin preludes I have ever heard. Thank you 🙏

[@jamestang96]

Thank you Aimi Kobayashi for your performance! Good luck for your performance with the orchestra! I never really listened to/played Chopin's Mazurkas. Your performance sent chills down my spine. Chopin's music + your interpretation produced wonders.. i'll be looking out for more of your piano interpretations. Thank you once again, sincerely.

[@jamestang96]

On second thought, 'chills down my spine' may be the wrong phrase but what I meant was it felt really intimate, very raw feelings.

[@VicSellsPeace]

She is absolutely beautiful.

[@たんたん-o4k6x]

私が今まで聴いてきたプレリュードの中で最高の作品です✨ 物語が明確。繊細かつダイナミックのバランスも完璧！ 胸に迫る演奏に、最後は心抉られたような感覚でした。 ショパンの感情とともに愛実さんの感情も溢れ音に全て現されてた、、。 1次から全て惹き込まれました！ 弱音の素晴らしさに感嘆致します✨

[@takagoody410]

プレリュードって24のミニエチュードみたいなイメージがあったんだけど、今回小林さんの演奏聞いて、一つの長編作品だと初めて感じた。
