She is an absolute genius, so emotional when she plays the piano.

[@jameskliewer5809]

Her musical interpretations are impeccable. Subtle melodies are balanced with dominant themes, but both distinctly, though in different tone/touch. I've seen this over and over with her performances. Timeless musicianship. And a marvelous performer.

what a feeling. great performance

[@anthonyhazlewood5788]

Superb performance from both Mariam and the orchestra - It was wonderful to listen too... Thank you so much....

[@victorgallardo6375]

Fantastica...!! We loved you in Torreon.

[@richdisilvio4591]

Beautifully played! Many try to highlight their bravura & virtuosity to the detriment of the sheer beautiful moments in this work. Mariam did a fantastic job. Liszt's masterpiece is surely the first TRUE Romantic Piano Concerto, one that influenced Tchaikovsky, Saint-Saens, Rachmaninov and the rest who followed in his wake.

Maravilhosa!

[@munkiechatchat]

Al in de kwartfinale was me duidelijk dat ze de winnaar zou worden.

[@alwatsonpianist]

Superb performance!!!

[@Davideberti]

Finalmente un audio eccellente!

[@alapiano3568]

Forse Liszt pensava che il suo concerto si dovesse suonare così ! Brava Mariam !!!

[@aspis6397]

Somehow her playing reminds me of Jorge Bolet

[@gonzalovaldivia3835]

I remember J Bolet playing in Berlin years ago. Also a geat performer

[@aspis6397]

Gonzalo Valdivia you’re a lucky man to hear him live

[@captsub]

Bolet - one of the great List players. I saw him here in NY several times back in the 1970s/80s.

[@aspis6397]

@@captsub lucky you

[@captsub]

@@aspis6397 Yup - great Liszt player. and we saw Ms Batsashvili's NY debut in 2016. Stupendous. We hope, after this plague is over, she returns.

I enjoyed her performance but what is that image printed on the back of her jacket?

[@xartmanx]

@Frank Skoda-Simmons Yes I understand. I was just wondering. Thank you.

[@seasidefoto]

As you know she’s from Georgia. So it might be a cultural or national image. I do not know.

[@AdamCzarnowski]

Terrific.

Again..and again...why, in Gods name, would you in any situation, put, or install these mindless tone deaf advertisements..more importantly, the thought or idea, that this was a good idea..who interrupts a train of thought, which is expressed in music, for a better word...to get attention or take away someones enjoyment...its lunacy, which is too light a word for these pundits of fools..

[@q.m9094]

Without those ads there wouldn’t be a video.

[@aleroncedo]

¿Por qué pone esas caras?¿Le duele tocar el piano?

[@ferube4171]

liszt possesion

[@ferube4171]

liszt tambien se caracterizaba por esto

[@ferube4171]

que siga poniendo las caras que quiera mientras siga brindando semejantes interpretaciones

[@ferube4171]

odio las caras de lang lang pero estas caras las adoro

[@xartmanx]

Obviamente tu no eres pianista.
