Brilliant listening to him tuning that piano to be sweet for the Chopin. Middle Bottom Top. A true master at work!

[@musicfan3609]

It was very gracious of Mr Ohlsson to perform a live-streamed concert amidst the COVID crisis!

Mr Ohlsson you are sir a master pianist . I find your touch and interpretation to my amateur mind among the best in the world . I am in total awe

[@BKlett]

Welch ein Sinn für Klangwesen!!!❤

[@bentarchive6535]

How great - thanks so much Garrick... encore!

[@EttorealbertoGelli-vr6sz]

Incredible hands and extraordinary pianist

[@marciacaple2037]

Dear Mr. Ohlsson! What a delightful treat. I have followed you since discovering you in 1214 and you could not have a more devoted fan! All the best always, and many many thanks.

[@franciscowalker5104]

maybe from 2014 .. right?

[@marshallartz395]

Great playing from start to finish. A real master!

[@belladogga1]

splendid!! Thank you from australia

[@ronl7131]

Wonderful Artistry….

[@pianoman551000]

A FANTASTIC recital. Garrick Ohlssson never disappoints the listener, rather it be with his mastery of the keyboard or with his recital selections.

[@davidgray6002]

Thanks for this concert garrick, your ever-evolving playing still makes my back tingle. much love from Canada :}

[@stevehinnenkamp5625]

Maestro Ohlssohn, Am enchanted by hearing you play this quirky, unpredictable Beethoven Sonata! Will finish rest of your magnificent recital tomorrow. Thank you for bringing this congenial piece to my attention. May God keep you in top form which enables you make such marvelous music! I am forever grateful.

[@SL-lk9bw]

Absolutely wonderful!

[@pvonberg]

Bravo ! Mr. Ohlsson, think of a guy in the audience standing up, clapping, and yelling Bravo ! That's me.

[@mikitomita8524]

Thank you, this performance touched my heart deeply

[@j.vonhogen9650]

1:09:55 - That was really funny, especially since I'm watching this Orwellian, dystopian piano recital on a mobile phone! 😁 Thank you for keeping our spirits up in these dark times, and thanks for not mentioning that dreadful term "new normal", because streaming should not be the future of classical music performance. Just like radio and television, online streaming can not and will not replace live performance.

[@ChopinIsMyBestFriend]

hey i don’t care if they have to rip half the seats out to keep us apart. i need to be back in that hall.

[@Henri.d.Olivoir]

Oh my God, I am impressed with how good he plays the Étude Op. 25 No. 5

[@BKlett]

❤❤❤

[@lovelyday50]

Love love

[@dennispiano8094]

Amazing Prokofiev!

[@WalyB01]

yeah never seen someone sit so still and play that violently.

[@jiyunchung53]

아 정말 감동이네요..감사합니다!

[@alfredbooth6854]

Two new references in piano playing: THE version of Beethoven opus 22 and THE version of Prokofiev Sonata n° 6.

[@WalyB01]

I see Ohlsson I upvote

[@carlhopkinson]

Why the bad video quality?? Did the good cameras have Covid??

Encore: Rachmaninoff Prelude Op. 3 No. 2

[@mehranyazdizadeh8087]

Thanks to Mr. Ohlsson and whoever else that helped this recital happen. I wish that D# was not out of tune specially after the break when the technician adusted the tuning probably because Mr.Ohlsson asked for it. I remember also in Chopin competition in 1970 (I guess) when Mr. Ohlsson was playing Scherzo No.1 one of the strings of a high note broke but he did not stop or distubed. (listen from 3 : 0 4 and pay attention to 3 : 0 7 when he plays the highest note kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYaygn1tqtCMqM0 ). You are not so lucky with your insrument 😁

[@luc3753]

A fine pianist. His no nonsense approach and comfortable tempi are ok, even if they may sound unimaginative and dull at times. The big hands no doubt come handy, especially in the Prok. Thanks for uploading.

[@PieInTheSky9]

240p we meet again

[@EttorealbertoGelli-vr6sz]

N.5 in E minor op. 25. Jesus Christ!!!!
