Liszt - La Campanella - Alice Sara Ott

[@maryyueil]

What a beautiful rendition of Liszt's La Campanella, every note is so clear just like pearls dropping.

[@mariodisarli1022]

The Telegraph 29 Mar. 2015 By Anna van Praagh ..."Alice Sara Ott gets a lot of attention for her looks and her quirks - but it is her unique musical personality that will keep her at the top ... She looks like a supermodel, often takes the stage in a ball gown and bare feet and, she tells me, has a great fondness for neat scotch. ... “The world of classical music is a very hard world and the people who survive are just a few. One minute you are very popular, four years later no one has heard of you. It could all be over tomorrow. That’s what I want to avoid. I want to be around in 20 or 30 years, doing what I love, I don’t want to be a shooting star.” ... With her elfin features, porcelain skin and jet black hair, she is breathtakingly beautiful, and not averse to posing for photo-shoots highlighting that beauty. Does she feel under pressure as a female artist to exploit her sex appeal? ... “I know where my limits are,” she says crisply. “If I do a photo-shoot I must feel comfortable. I know what I will do and I know what I won’t do.” ... She believes that the classical music world is far more egalitarian than it once was. ... Are her love of whisky (she favours Talisker, Laphroaig and Lagavulin ), her habit of warming up her hands before a concert by solving the Rubik’s cube (she can complete it within a minute), and her trademark bare feet simply ways of making sure she stands out in a crowded market? No, nothing so calculated she says. ... “There’s no commercial reason for performing in bare feet. It makes me comfortable and it gets hot under the spotlight so it’s nice to feel the cold pedals on my feet.” ... The Rubik’s cube is practical and the whisky - well, she just happens to like single malts. ... However, such quirks do help make her more - dread word - “accessible” to audiences that might not normally be attracted to classical music and that is something about which she is passionate. ... “I want to remove the notion that classical music is just something for rich educated people,” she says. “It’s not. You don’t have to be educated to enjoy classical music, you get educated by listening to it.” ... “That’s why for me it is so important to be a really good musician rather than someone who just looks good on stage,” she muses, “Because then I am replaceable. If I have a unique musical personality, I hope that people will wait for me.” GIDON KREMER : ...die Tage der "verwegenen Burschen und wunderschönen Mädchen", die das Publikum verführen, sind gezählt. Sie werden schon bald abgelöst werden von ... ihresgleichen! Ein in der Öffentlichkeit zum "Superstar" promovierter Künstler verleiht der vorgetragenen Musik keine zusätzlichen Feinheiten.Sein Name, dekliniert, konjugiert, geschätzt, verkauft, gefeiert, zu Lebzeiten lautstark bejubelt, wird ...in VERGESSENHEIT geraten. ...."In der heutigen Zeit der Massenaufläufe und Vergnügungen wird es als besonders "cool" betrachtet, sich nach dem populären Geschmack zu richten. ...Indessen verführt man uns dazu, die Treue zur Musik zu vergessen und uns im Namen des Erfolges (oder Umsatzes?) "hinzugeben" (das Wort entspricht sogar der Handlung!) - Hauptsache, der "Kunde" (der Hörer!) ist zufrieden. Erinnert so eine Haltung nicht an ein Bordell? ..."

If you love a timeless piece of music playing it can bring you enjoyment your whole life. Completely different context but look how many years Ozzy played Iron Man in concert, at least 40 years. Or Dave Mustaine of Megadeth playing In My Darkest Hour since around 1988, or how about Alice Cooper singing I'm 18 since 1971. You just don't understand music or musicians very well.

[@Q-bal]

I enjoyed this more than Yundi Li's or Evgeny Kissin's version. It's quite different in the interpretation, but it's a breath of fresh air in a place where everyone is just competing to play the piece as fast as possible (Kissin so fast that he actually makes a substantial number of mistakes). The rubato is quite beautiful here, and you show in the finale that it's definitely not to make up for insecure playing. Well done.

[@Zauriooo]

I think if we heard Kission's studio performance, it would also be without any mistakes.

[@Q-bal]

@@Zauriooo Kissin is a legendary pianist. I would expect him to be able to give a live performance at tempo with minimal mistakes. I don't dislike his version or anything but nevertheless. Taking one's time with La Campanella is a nice change of pace.

The bessst performance of this piece by far. The feel, timing and joy she shows playing shines through. You are amazing Alice.

[@kenmacqueen2043]

This is of course an amazing piece of music, and I have enjoyed it performed by several great artists. Once an artist has mastered the skills, then I look for the soul of the performer to reveal her or his sense of the composer and the piece. As with everything I have seen of Alice, her spirit lifts the performance for herself and the orchestra when there is one, and for the audience. For example, I have never loved Beethoven's No 3 as much as when she does it. She carries a beautiful musicality and a sense of what life is about. That shines through here beautifully.

Alice Sara Ott - PR product, money making machine! Der weltberühmte Geiger Gidon Kremer schreibt in einem neuen Buch ,,Briefe an eine junge Pianistin": ...,,Kaum zu glauben: Es gibt im Handel mit Musikern erstaunliche Begriffe wie ,,das neue französische/ englische/ deutsche Talent", ,,new face of the next generation" oder einfach ,,rising star" usw. Heute schrieb mir ein Kollege von einer jungen Begabung, die man der Welt gleichzeitig als Model und Geigerin ,,in einem Flacon" anbietet. Egal ob es sich um Pianisten oder Geiger handelt, das riecht stark nach Kosmetikprodukten. Da erhebt sich die Frage: Wollen wir bei diesem Wettbewerb mitmachen? ...Warum bemühen sich viele Künstler, besonders vorteilhaft auszusehen? Woher kommt deise Krankheit? Liegt es an unserer Zeit? Am demokratisierten Geschmack und in der Folge am Diktat des Marktes? Sind Künstler,die sich auf diesen Ausverkauf einlassen, total unschuldig?

La Campanella probably is one of the most "personal" song to judge by a critic or by the audience and this because of the enourmous different interpretations we could have. This is is surely one of the most brillant I ever heard. Besides Alice shows a such control on the technique as well as a great skill to slow down the rythm when necessary, without looking too much cheese. In the end is a top five interpretation ever.

Probably one of the best performance I ever heard for that piece. This performer has taken a huge (successful) risk by using very few times the pedal. One thing that moved me is the way she plays the variation starting at 2:46 : it reminds me old music boxes and I personally think this is a great and smart idea this performer had. So in one word : congratulations

Tomas Josef Liszt himself preferred when people played music with an interpretation rather than clinically and clean

[@jamesgreen8777]

Georges Cancan a bit odd that you’ve chosen to verbatim copy an entire review as presumably your say on the matter. You’re entitled to that I suppose, however lacking in originality it may be. Personally, I’m not sure why Mr Church feels the need to bring sexist views nor a convoluted way of saying he just doesn’t enjoy their style. Perhaps he knows his own work is lacking in magic? Regardless I don’t subscribe to that and while I’m not claiming Ms Sara is the all time greatest, I can very much still enjoy her performances for what they were, and that I do.

The first impression is that of a pianist whose technique is yet to mature. However, Miss Ott does not fail to shine. Her interpretation is delightful and at times dexterously witty, conveying rich emotions at ease. There is no sense of restrained mechanism here; one hears only the congenial resonance of a ringing bell in the air.

This is probably one of the most difficult in the standard classical piano repertoire and she did well, but as previously pointed out she does slightly slow on occasions, at least compared to Yundi Li and Evgeny Kissin versions. But still a tremendously talented young star nonetheless.

[@johnpearcey]

I think everyone plays this a little too fast to be honest. People seem intent on showing off speed with this piece and there is no need. Personally, I like to play this a little slower and there's plenty of opportunity to show off towards the end where Liszt actually marks a faster tempo.

[@Ariana-dn4mm]

(the performances are still amazing, pls dont kill me) the piece isn’t actually that hard compared to a lot of liszt pieces, though in terms of more popular pieces, other than the hungarian rhapsodies this is definitely up there as one of the harder ones

[@dominicvansever]

Ariana ; I play La Campanella and I have to agree with you. It is probably easier than infamous Chopin op10no2, op25no6 and op25no11, and the Transcendentals. However, La Campanella is not walk in the park and should be played as variations. Many pianists start too fast and then slow down due to more difficult later variations before the animato octave section, which is the only part to be played faster. Variations should be played steadily.
