Khatia Buniatishvili - Recital: Ravel, Mussorgsky. Live HD at Salle Pleyel (March 4th 2014).

[@johndehaan2764]

I know not how to convey such notes, without feeling such emotion, truly the composers themselves would learn from their own notes. Such empathy is extraordinary. Thank you Khatia.

[@PapadeElena]

This may be the most beautiful interpretation of the Mussorgsky I've ever heard. It was like hearing this piece for the first time. Truly magnificent. But I wish the audience would have been quieter; so much coughing and shuffling. People, stay at home if you're dying of emphysema/tuberculosis/COVID.

[@MOODMENDR]

hahaha ok, this is legit funny tho. because I went to the Tampa symphony this past week and same. I didn't understand why so many people were coughing, shuffling, one guy sounded like he was clearing a serious throat/lung obstruction.

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

@@MOODMENDR They are just playing their one instrument!

[@jeffcharles5858]

Her dynamics are superb. That she know, intimately, every single little note, by heart, still blows my mind. Human perfection at ridiculous scale. Bravo, Khatia!

[@richardvolpe7664]

To jeff: Of all that could be discussed here, you come up with, of all things, "dynamics?" And why are you so struck by the idea of memorization? It's part of what musicians DO, for heaven's sake! Better to focus on the subject of interpretation, and this is where Khatia fails to a considerable extent. I know you're blown out of your mind by her playing, so I'll refrain from making negative comments.

[@plrndl]

Sublime. I anticipate frequent audition of this recital. I don't know how many (many) times I've heard "Pictures and an Exhibition", but it's never before made the impact that performance did.

[@JV-gn6pf]

Khatia truly is one of a kind. There's no-one else quite like her. I hope she can look after herself well - eat well, rest well, manage her finances well - so that her physical and spiritual strength can continue on the stage for a long time. She is a treasure that we don't want to see disappear quickly.

[@boblapee2289]

Bingo You spoke my mind here JV. She does take pretty good care of herself and has a good relationship with her family. I think that Khatia is in it for the long haul. She and her music are heavenly.

@linda sohier I listen to several artists play the same music. I consistently like her renditions. There are artists that feature their appearance or clothes more. I can't fault any accomplished artist from drawing attention to their work. Her work is great no matter how you experience it. Talent and dedication come through very clearly in rendition. I hope she can continue to play for us for many years to come. I wish her the very best.

I have heard many, many times, conductor Arturo Toscanini's NBC orchestral rendition of Mussorsky's "Pictures" and many by conductors since, yet Khatia Buniatishvili is perfect to the note, the intonation, and the delivery of this masterpiece. Her performance is above reproach, in my mind as a professional musician. I am without any more words other than "magnificent"

My God, what an incredible creature! Khatia is not from this world. Hailed from dimensions unknown where ascension so far superior to mortal man prevails.

Art. Articulation. Khatia lives on a higher plain of existence. We can observe, but it's a distant landscape. There is a sadness in this chosen repertoire, especially Chopin prelude 4 as an encore. The warmth and delicacy of the piano passages is deeper than ever. I think I also see this in her eyes. Khatia I hope you are not troubled or tired. Be well.
