[@user-mv1yu2xi1p]

Your concert in Olavarría, Argentina, was beautiful!!!

[@Algorox]

Extremely mature and polished playing. I first met you at the 2016 FCMF National Finals, and I remember you deservedly winning the grand prize. I am truly impressed and proud of how far you've come. All the best!

[@paules3437]

I just saw this guy perform at Univ Victoria on Vancouver Island. Sensational!

[@plejade480]

Ravel wonderful, so distingished clear the different voices

[@isabelgil75]

My parents were born in the Albaycín. That's why I studied that piece. Granada... So magical and misterious! Hope you stay very well, maestro. Kisses from Madrid!

Scriabin..

[@paules3437]

SERIOUSLY??!! NO applause after the first piece??! What kind of repressed "classical" music reaction is that? How ridiculous that classical recitals have adopted this "sit in silence" response (or non-response) in such a case: huge, exciting, sensual Spanish music, and he finishes with a flourish and then.... nothing.... as if the audience hadn't even heard him. So dispiriting to a performer! And it's not even as if there were the excuses that the Albéniz was a short piece as part of a group; it stood on its own and earned the right to audience appreciation. Classical concerts didn't used to be like this; in Beethoven's era, they often repeated movements and the audience expressed itself vigorously. No wonder non-classical musicians think we're a bunch of stuffed shirts. I'm hoping to see this guy at Univ of Victora BC next week.

I agree whith you--- perhaps they have a kind of mental disorder?

[@lisilisin]

Not after the first piece, nor any other. This video is not of a regular (normal) recital, but of one of the phases of a piano competition. That's why no one applauds until the end of the entire contestant's performance. By the way, this talented young pianist, Jaeden Izik-Dzurko, was the winner of the competition: the 2022 Paloma O'Shea Santander International Piano Competition.

[@paules3437]

Ah. And now I see it's even worse! No applause at all till the very end. Boo. This guy's super talented and deserves better. I suppose all the contestants had to put up with that.

[@ryanwalker9667]

Your not supposed to clap until the very end

[@paules3437]

@@ryanwalker9667Says who? that custom was not the case in the heyday of classical music. Consider: we applaud at the end of arias in opera. We applaud at the end of Broadway songs. We applaud after a solo turn in ballet. I have often stated that an audience is stifled if they can't, for example, applaud at the end of, say, movement 1 of Brahms' 1st piano concerto. It's completely unnatural to feel like you're not allowed to respond. This is a custom that needs to change.

[@ryanwalker9667]

@@paules3437 This is a high level competition, the etiquette is different than a concert or other kind of performance. Frequent applause and noise could be distracting to the pianists

[@paules3437]

@@ryanwalker9667 I have heard this "objection" about audiences before, regarding ALL piano performances but I'm not buying it. Professional pianists, whether in concert or contest, surely know how to concentrate, regardless of the situation. That's what it is to be a pianist of this caliber. Besides, why can't we CHANGE the protocol? Why wouldn't applause after a particularly rousing movement be a FAVOR (and not a distraction) to the performer? When I perform, i like to know the audience with with me. The completely unnatural repression of an emotional response makes for a poor experience foor all concerned. I saw this pianist in July '23 at the Univ of Victoria, British Columbia. Terrific, but even there, more reaction from the audience would have been rewarding.
