This woman is amazing wow!

[@yuiop987]

I am thoroughly impressed, especially by Franck's piece. So much romanticism and expression, that I 've never heard before.

[@RWinkley02124]

Gorgeous sound, colors, and imaginative programming. Bravo - the Franck and Schumann were especially moving; the Liszt a true tour de force.

[@robertmarcus9653]

I so much wish I could have been there. One of the best concerts I have heard in my concert going years. Your playing and virtuosity and above all your soul and your wonderful expressions were so special. Loved it all so much. Love you too.

[@marcelmichelbach7107]

Wundervolles Konzert. Zuhause am 4K TV und über die Anlage angespielt, ein fast livehaftiges feeling 🥰

[@user-ru8vy1uz7c]

Bravo bravo bravo

[@WoutDC]

Great recital! The real highlight for me here is the Franck prelude, fugue et variation, especially the warmth and richness of the prelude, amazing voicing, really!

[@johannesbrahms6900]

Mariam is a major artist who has a stunning variety of musical colors, is always thoughtful and convincing when she takes time for expressive purposes, and plays with grace both physically and emotionally. So many really tender moments, and so many spectacular ones with verve and as the announcer mentions after the Gounod transcription, "swagger!' Wonderful voicing in every range and dynamic. What a pleasure to know of her playing and look forward to her future performances and recordings!

[@Richard.Holmquist]

Beyond a pleasure to both the mind and soul. Listening is a musical journey over paths less traveled.

[@miguelangelosornio5800]

Wonderful concerto and amazing program.....yes the Frank piece lovely but the Thalberg is just extraordinary difficult piece and also beutiful....congrats Mariam... We will follow you very close......

[@cixoushenri]

Glad Mariam could be back on stage, performing for live audience. Many of these pieces are new to me so thank you for introducing them to me

[@TS13579]

@Syazani Saidan Totally agreed! This kind of venue is far more befitting Ms. Mariam's prodigious, world-class artistry. But that said, when Ms. Mariam performs from her home (as in her previous Warner Classics posts), her one-of-kind personal warmth comes across in a way that the concert hall cannot convey.

[@sjillful]

She is magnificent--I enjoyed her renditions of these challenging pieces!

[@bikedawg]

Mariam Batsashvili is a gem and musical gift----thank you!!!!!!!!! ❤ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

[@R.Williams]

The first time I saw Miriam was her concert from home #3. I immediately loved her playing and purchased her Listz album. I listen to it almost every day while doing dishes. Her music then made me get the score to the 1st piece on the CD. I think I'm super susceptible to unintended marketing! Thank you for this wonderful artist and thanks to Miriam for her lovely playing!

[@loriviera3350]

[@C-Mantradevi-Kircher]

Dear Ms. Batsashvili, I would like to thank you very, very much indeed. Through this your beautiful playing I got to know C. Francks Prelude et Fugue. Without telling the wohle story (which is looooong ;)) I can honestly say, that this piece changed my life and deeply, deeply moved my soul. I love your interpretation very much. 🙏🏻Warm and grateful regards to you! Wishing strongly to hear your playing live soon. Much love and all the best for your outstanding artistry from a 51yr. old german piano disciple 😉🙏🏻😇

[@marikomariko3992]

Exquisite Ravel & Schumann, stunning Liszt and playful Rossini. Bravo! I'm glad that I have come to this video. I like her physical style too. No long dress. Why do female musicians have to wear those long ( or very short ) ridiculous dress always??? Classical music world has to grow up in 21 century!

Her rendition of "In Der Nacht" just about killed me. I am speechless

[@hdholl9696]

Brilliant. Total concentration and dedication to the music which she plays beautifully. Thanks to this recital I have discovered here the piano version of Franck's brilliant organ piece, which I have now started to learn to play.

Really amazing!

[@sylvielacombe4001]

Une merveille absolue... Une sonorité d'une richesse illimitée, un sens du phrasé doté d'une réelle intelligence musicale et artistique qui en font une de mes pianistes préférées à l'heure actuelle . Vivement son prochain passage français.

[@AnnaKhomichkoPianist]

Yes!!

[@marchermitte]

She's certainly one of the very best pianist I've heard so far. Her interpretation of the Chaconne Bach-Busoni (DWV 1004) is exceptional. Just look at her face and gestures, she lives the music she plays. She's totally into It.

[@MM-111]

Wunderschön ! Gratuliere Mariam ! 💐

[@remixuereb]

I like so much the choice of music, first Franck , from sobriety to the extention of the romantic rose , we are inside of the heart of music If I were Mariam B. I would choice those musics in the same order

[@stephenmessick865]

Wonderful!!! I would donate if all my money didn't go to the nursing home. I very much appreciate these terrific and varied concerts and am truly thankful for them.

Actually not a hiccup, but a nocturnal rendezvous with a tiny obstacle, which is overcome with perfect somnambulistic certainty. Don't forget she is playing a composition called "La Sonnambula" ...
