Piano Recital - Mozart, Chopin, Schumann and Rachmaninoff - Anna Fedorova

[@billp4380]

She plays with heart, gusto and sensitivity. I find her performances to be hypnotic. Once I began watching I cannot stop.

[@Diego-j7n]

Anna Fedorova + Piano = Just perfection

[@dalmasc]

Without music,life would be a mistake !!!

[@antonyirvine9338]

Absolutely! Well said.

[@gardenphoto]

Yes, Charles, but you should have given credit where credit was due (Antony Irvine - who commented below - gave YOU credit and praise for this famous quote). Just to set the record strait, the great German philosopher, critic, poet and philologist Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) knew a thing or two about music; he was also an amateur composer! He also authored the famous quotes: "That which does not kill us makes us stronger," and "Our greatest experiences are our quietest moments," and "Those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” In passing, Nietzsche also wrote the philisophacal novel Thus Spoke Zarathustra, which inspired Richard Strauss to write the famous orchestral Tone Poem of the same name (made even more famous when it was used in the 1968 film "2001 A Space Odyssey).

Anna is pure elegance, natural, simple, delicious, without over-acting. Perfect performance. You take us to places where few make us reach We cannot ask for more. Thanks a million and Bravo!!

[@karlgregg98]

I am back again. I still absolutely adore this young woman. Her music sings to her and her face lights up when it hits home. Her way of making that piano talk gets to me every time I hear her. My fav piece of all time is Rachmaninov piano concerto number 2 played by Anna. I always cry at the beautiful passages. Her rendition is the BEST! BTW this concert was fantastic. Just think of trying to remember all that music in your head!

This recording is superb, not only for the themes of the chosen but also for the interpretation of this fabulous pianist., whose sensitivity, cadence and technique are amazing. Anna Federova is one of the greatest and best pianists of our time. His various interpretations demonstrate an adaptability being equal and sensitive to all of them. Magnificent interpretation in this remarkable recording.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

I am just so lucky to be able to be a part of this, sitting at home in my splendid covid-19-isolation! Anna is the rose that gives us hope for a better future. With her playing she tells us: dont give up, things will be better!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

But now this covid-isolation is broken, and I can this summer do exactly what I used to do, but this time with some more thoughts about how fragile our existens is.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

And I am sure that Anna helped me a lot, during the most difficult times, so thank you, Anna!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

How unknown the future is! Now with war in Ukraine it seems as if we have gone back at least 50 years in history. The sad things repeat itself. I hope Anas father is well.

[@richardofpleasantway8027]

I wish I had her talent; of course, that is only 20% of it. The remaining 80% is hard work. Congratulations, Anna.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

My favourite in this Piano Recital is Schumann, his Fantasie op 17. And I just love how Anna takes care of every note in this work and makes it bloom in the way it it was ment to.

[@TheSchmidt62]

Anna so effectively transfers her emotion and passion to her instrument that you can not only hear the beautiful melody but this melody moves one to feel the music at a deeper level

[@jonhannington-holley9292]

It has been said many times that music evokes feelings that go beyond our capacity to describe in words, and I count myself blessed to find quite often, with good music, well performed, that some neurons deep in my brain find the experience extremely pleasurable and somehow transcendental. I can perfectly understand how a performer may find similar emotional experiences may affect their facial expression and demeanour. Offensive remarks about 'dumbass fake expressions' merely reveal the lack of sensitivity and rudeness of the commentator. It is perhaps just as well he was not present at the concert. He would probably cough repeatedly, rustle a newspaper, and spill popcorn all over the place. It is cheap to make offensive remarks at the expense of the performer, and Anna Fedorova, and her magnificent performances, full of expression and delicacy, deserve better. If you don't like it, just sit at home with a CD and spam the internet with your unappreciation. No-one will thank you. I was very fortunate to attend several concerts at the Concertgebouw a few years ago, and found them extremely enjoyable and memorable. I so wish I had been able to wander in off the streets (as the audience apparently did for this 'surprise concert'), and be gifted an experience like Anna Fedorova's wonderful concert in this video. Maybe next time I'm in Amsterdam...? She is like a breath of fresh air, and for me (and others, I feel sure), she adds expression and sensitivity that many more 'mechanical' pianists somehow miss. Bravo... and more, please!

[@acudoc1949]

Agree wholeheartedly. Her performances have a great deal of heart.

[@thomasmitchell842]

Love to hear her play! She plays brilliantly!

[@dcmurray6466]

Agreed, the music and interpretation are brilliant. And the pianist isn't hard to look at either!

[@ArchiveMan78]

[@marckantony3193]

[@ac3raven]

I am by no means an experienced listener or otherwise extremely knowledgeable about classical music, but for some reason I think that Anna Fedorova is a step above the rest. I don't know why.

[@elizabethschaeffer9543]

It is because you are right.

[@GosokuRyuYodan]

Thank God for that! An "experienced " listener will find fault. You have the gift of listening with pure joy! Yes, she is a step above the rest...

[@maartenvanderlek8955]

At least far above the dutch level. The government has no money for music.

[@marat3632]

@@maartenvanderlek8955I feel that is an unfair statements towards both Anna and Dutch government. I have a friend studying at conservatorium and you have no idea how much the Dutch government is helping Dutch violinist compared to other countries. Which county lends student a 100K violin, free tuition, free transportation and plus allowance? Ukraine (where Anna is from), or Russia (where most gifted musicians come from)??. In my opinion(that might be wrong) I think Dutch government helps a lot. I am from eastern Europe too and I used to be a pianist until the age of 11. The level in Eastern Europe is different. I used to play from 7AM until 1, lunch break, 2PM till 5PM, then I did school work till 9PM , 9- 11 again piano, 11time is sleep. Wake up, and repeat. Btw, i dropped out after the age of 11 because I was not working hard enough/ was not good enough. :) I am sorry , but i dont see any Dutch students doing the same. Even best students at CvA dont work that hard. I think it is great that Dutch children are not subjected to same harsh regime as some students from other countries. It is just a different culture that values different things. Anna worked very hard and she probably did not get a cent from Ukrainian government , who definitely has no money for music.

Cette musique pénètre au plus profond de notre âme et nous donne un avant-goût du Paradis. Dans ce monde désolé, il faut être plein de gratitude envers les artistes, qui comme la divine Anna Fedorova, nous apportent des moments de vrai bonheur. Merci Anna pour votre immense talent.❤

[@SimonUbsdell]

It's truly miraculous that a pianist with such a profound affinity for the high romantic drama of Chopin and Rachmaninoff can be so mesmerisingly magical in playing Mozart. But the epic kinetic energy she unleashes in the Rachmaninoff is breathtaking. She has an extraordinary capacity for "tightening the spring" and letting it rip then tightening it again. Her control of the architectural movement is what makes her one of the greatest musicians of her generation.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Simon, I totally agree with you!

[@SimonUbsdell]

@@staffanolofsson8201 She's pretty good, isn't she?!!! She plays not just notes, or even phrases. At any one moment she is playing nothing less than the entire piece. It all joins up.

Something odd happens at 20:08, we can see that the door to the concert hall opens, and we can in black and white see a bus passing out there, and people walking by, not at all aware of the wonderful things going on inside. An illustration of the fact that life always has an outer and an inner dimension.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

I have learned to like Anna Fedorova not only for her music but also for the charming person she is, in her introductions, her talk about music. Have you seen "Schumann Tribute". If not, do so. And so, in this corona times, she is a comfort for me, I dare to say so. Like many other musicians that cannot play and participate in music the way they want. So music is perhaps more important now than ever, for all of us sitting at home, longing to go to a concert.

Enchanted by her technical grace and dexterity in Schumann Fantasy....Some say, this fantasy is the most beautiful piece for piano ever written. Well, the story behind it certainly is lovely. Totally convinced that women are better pianists than men going back over 75 years. Pianists, such as Dame Myra Hess, Gina Bachauer, Lubka Kolessa, of whom the famed Angel of Conductors, Bruno Walter, referred to as greatest pianist of his generation. Imagine that, a man born in 1876 through 1962.
