Polina Osetinskaya, Schumann - Concerto in a-moll

Moscow Symphony orchestra, conductor Arthur Arnold, Moscow Great Hall of Conservatory, May 27, 2015

[@valeria-martar2424]

Браво!!! АБСОЛЮТ!!! Все исполнители заслуживают многократных оваций! Редкое сочетание высокого исполнительского искусства как солистки, Полины Осетинской, так и дирижёра с оркестром. Наслаждалась каждым звуком, аккордом, музыкальным гением Р.Шумана! Полина была просто на недосягаемой высоте! Слушая таких исполнителей, хочется жить и каждое мгновение ею наслаждаться.

[@alexejvonaigner3667]

It ist always a great pleasure listening to Polina, the timeless beauty of her playing ist always inspiring and touches my heart.

Фантастика!Лучше ,чем хочется,❤

[@marymiller3085]

Her genius is unparalleled. She completely forgets herself in the music. She becomes with the piano a perfect conduit for the expression of the music. Listening is a kind of spiritual experience. Her beauty and elegance do not distract or detract. They enhance the whole experience. I cannot help but wonder if the intense suffering she endured as a child has actually made her one of the greatest pianists who've ever lived!

[@JeromeMainguet]

Je suis un grand admirateur de Polina Osetinskaya, pour la subtilité et la puissance de son exécution, et...pour sa beauté quand elle est en scène. Grand Respect.

[@anandsamuel1978]

Why don't you guys stop complaining about the sound and concentrate on the brilliance of Polina Oestinskaya and the amazing concerto. I am enjoying it without any problems and that's what matters!

Какое наслаждение слушать игру Полины!... Пусть жизнь подарит вам хотя бы толику счастья того, которое вы дарите людям своей игрой на фортепьяно....🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

[@brianregan5053]

Amazing. Polina’s artistry is transcendent. She is a human vehicle for aural beauty from another dimension.

[@victortavora8932]

Great pianist, beautifull woman !

[@alter2608]

Потрясающе! Браво!

[@mikedaniels3009]

She is the one Lionel Ritchie is singing about : Three Times A Lady. In jazz we have King Oliver, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, ladies and gentlemen, i give you Her Grace, Lady Polina. A former piano wunderkind, her seasoned artistry and dignified poise, her grace, her inner and outward beauty are simply beyond mere words.

[@Lada798]

Мощное исполнение!!! Браво!

[@user-uh5re3co6j]

one of my favorite pianist. very elegant artist.

[@anandsamuel1978]

Amazing pianist!

[@elgatosucio]

What a pleasant discovery ! This is my new favorite pianist. Just sublime.

[@anandsamuel1978]

You can say that again!

[@mikedaniels3009]

Not just yours. She is the one Lionel Ritchie sings about : Three Times A Lady. In jazz we have King Oliver, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, ladies and gentlemen, i give you Lady Polina.

Yep ! Better late than never.

[@davidjamison1672]

Privilege to listen to Polina . Her playing keeps me sane in this mad world David Jamison

[@siennahssongs7217]

Thank you Polina. You play so lovely.

[@josephbourque5027]

This piece is played with incredible passion by a virtuoso who feels each note. Great performance, thank you.

[@maksimkola4653]

spasibo Polina! I adore your playing.

[@jimsanford9215]

Thank You Polina!

[@arnoldziffelpig]

A most organic and human sounding performance. She breathes. Just as humans do. Modern ears are becoming accustomed to music that sounds computer generated and Osetinskaya beautifully rejects this tendency. Would love to hear this in a proper live recording. But even though the sound is flawed, it is still a magnificent performance.

[@JeromeMainguet]

POLINA est si brillante et subtile (et belle) !

[@medusello]

Perfect!!!

[@maximilianseemann7759]

❤ Thank you Polina. ❤

[@dorindraghici348]

Seems like a rehearsal with costumes to me. And, as a rehearsal , is brilliant in many ways. Thank you for sharing.

[@fa6602]

wonderfull, very much wonderfull.

[@user-db2ds8om3e]

Такое чуткое единение пианиста и оркестра!

[@denekaraus8592]

They couldn't have caught less audio quality if they'd been listening through a key hole! Great performance, I think!

[@christianemarie1695]

Bravo! Thank you.

[@questionreality6003]

Not just a beautiful woman! ................. very fun and technically on-q pianist

[@hughgregorywaldock8738]

Unparalleled passion, and truly great artistically. So many performances before have played this with a less raw and more beautiful tone. I feel this performance is heart-wrenchingly authentic. It really encapsulates the whole flavour of Schumann's life and his personal situation. Much as I love his performances of Haydn and Mozart I can't imagine, say Jandö producing a performance like this. What a shame about the recording! But I can't understand why they haven't used technology to master it a bit more! I believe it can be saved this recording in the hands of the right sound technician. That really throws down the gauntlet to the London colleges. They'll never bullshit that totally out of contention. I really understand her feelings it's a passion like that that made me write 220 pieces of Classical Music and never be taken seriously, because what happened to me happened when I was 29 not 15. That really made me cry. It's a relationship with more than one guy I bet, but it's what Schumann and Brahms were like. Brahms made Schumann's genius in my opinion. He was just a chocolate boxy composer that loved his wife at first. Kinderszenen for example, that he write at the start of his life is just so different to this and the last revision of his fourth symphony. He's so beautiful because he feels he has to compete for Clara (as a mason as well). At first he just gets outgunned on passion. They write songs for Clara against each other. Die Lotusblume and O liebliche Wangen are totally different in their approach to her seduction, but towards the end of his life Schumann gets it out of himself to be equally as passionate and original in his writing and that's part of what makes him so appealing as a composer it's as if Brahms, Schumann and Schumann were the same person in spirit. In the song Come Away Come Sweet Love by Dowland he speaks of lover's souls mixing in 'eternal blisse'. It's a sentiment that has been in music from the start and is of almost religious significance.

[@slavast1]

Исполнение выше всяких похвал, каденция до мурашек. А оператора на мыло.

[@SofiaNici-st3fu]

ВОСТОРГ!!! БРАВО!!!

[@user-de2jy8wc4e]

Amaizing!!!

[@mikedaniels3009]

Lady Olina is absolutely special and has star qualities, to wit, nevermind her entourage nor the setting, audiences cannot take their eyes off her. With her simple "gorgeousness" of body and soul she OWNS the stage. Seasoned by suffering and having come up on top, she's simply a beautifully special and specially beautiful woman embodying perfect elegance in all respects and dwelling in an artistic masterclass of her own. Were she British, she'd be a DBE already. So, nevermind this terrible audio and the echoing.

[@davidjamison1672]

Strongly agree David Jamison 18 th Dec 0925 and 14 hrs before my 78 th birthday

[@mofa9745]

Ms Osetinskaya first started learning piano when she was six years old. I believe that when she was nine she played this concerto with the Lithuanian State Orchestra, and also the Beethoven 5th Piano Concerto on the same bill. Yes, incredible but true ! And I'm guessing she didn't miss a note.

[@user-dh1wi5xf2k]

превосходно!

[@victoraguilera-alfaro]

I love playing, suit musical taste. Polina could you comme to Paris ?

[@martada1]

Браво!!!

[@Sytb01]

As a child prodigy Polina played TWO concertos, this and 5th Beethoven, here in Great Hall of Moscow Conservatory in 1983 at age of 8. Don't be tricked and confused by the deficiencies of this amateur video, you're seeing real Destroyer, Terminator, Schwarzenegger of music.

[@naa7014]

She feels Schumann like Clara did.

[@IvanGreindl]

Such a bad recording's quality is very sad: Mrs Osetinskaya's performance deserved much better!! :-( Can't listen to that sound more than 2 minutes... Whar a pity!

[@christophetetu3948]

Ivan Greindl : you are right. This bad recording sound is very disappointing.

[@vitalynazarov5112]

Поля, БРАВО!

[@helmutgehrmann464]

Sensationell inniglich schön!

[@michelroussanne906]

Merci !

[@user-lz3fb5zo5v]

Пианистка настолько хороша, что сама выборает, кому нравиться, а кому нет.

[@333mrwill]

Lovely playing -- lovely girl ---- but someone is coughing right into a microphone!

[@MrTopur]

Господи, вот бы нормальную запись! Только угадывается ее интерпретация... 😢

[@eugeneruss7717]

Одно из моих любимых произведений. В интерпретации Гилельса и Рихтера более привычно слушать. Тут ещё от дирижёра много зависит. И со звуком что-то неправильное - вероятно режиссёр звукозаписи неправильно разместил микрофоны - гул сплошной. К исполнению Полины претензий нет, но в целом звучание с гулом, сплошные полосы частот. Наверное звукорежиссёр новенький и неопытный, поэтому не получилось насладиться игрой Полины.

[@kevinm6790]

I doubt if there was a sound engineer.

[@leonidananyevsky1013]

YERY MUSH !!! WISH WELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@vladimirpetrovich9929]

А где ее ноты.?во шпарит.

[@MakPiligrim]

Она же гениальная пианистка, плюс высокого интеллекта человек с неоглядным размахом души... Раньше не видела этого выступления и просто потрясена!

[@antonioolszewski]

Magnifico. Polina realiza un interpretación clásica y elegante. El sonido es horrible

[@yenaurapourtoulmonde]

Must agree with Mr. Greindl. Worst amateur job as for sound and video takes. Even the most basic rules are not satisfied. So sad for this great artist !

[@cygnusne]

Instead, I am for once grateful to the cameraman for staying still and focusing on the pianist's hands instead of taking a walk about her right nostril, her left eyebrow, her upper lip and lower eyelid.. The video is pretty much what would happen in you were sitting in the hall while she was playing. You sit in one seat. That's it.

[@aleshkaemelyanov]

По следам братьев Карамазовых ... Они, одержимые дамой с несчастьем, творцы благодати, безверья, ума, поддались сознанию, бреду и власти, вошли в беспросветный, пьянящий туман. Преступники, путники и вольнодумцы плутают по ветхим, богатым местам и всё ищут смыслы средь оных беспутцев, творя благодетель иль зло тут и там. И каждый своею дорожкой петляет, кто руша, а кто созидая во мгле, свой разум иль тело, иль дух растлевая, забыв про безбожье и Бога в себе. Так, кто-то темнеет, светлеет иль гаснет, иной охмеляется, входит в свой дым, уже над реальностью, дурью не властный. Бредут к эшафотам и петлям своим. Болящие души в порхающем рое страдальцев, скитальцев, чьё имя "народ". И дней пелена поглотит иль прикроет, развеется или в других перейдёт...

[@sandplus5048]

Is this such a difficult piece that everyone makes mistakes ???

[@jean-paulzolesio94]

J aime le tempo qui enfin ne s'apparente pas aux jeux olympique

[@pvandck]

Well, I have two performances of this piece which would much rather listen to. Geza Anda with the Berlin Philharmonic (1964) and Marta Argerich with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe (1994). Whatever Polina Osetinskaya's reputation this rendition is a bit too all over the place for me.

[@cstoreyqc]

Why is it that the Schumann attracts wilfully bizarre performances ? This is a classic amongst them, with an opening where soloist and orchestra are way apart : she starts late , and then crashes down the keyboard at such a rate that the conductor is caught unawares. When one reaches the cadenza, the variations in speed are extraordinary culminating towards the end in passages where she is going so fast that the ends of phrases appear to be cut off . I agree it is an incredible performance, but sadly, that is so for all the wrong reasons. Contrast it with her performance of the Bach D minor , which is a splendid rendering

God, is she married?

[@peterdguru]

@13mins

[@user-tj3ie4dt9s]

Polina and Andras Schiff are the greatest players of all time. Please let her come out of Russia and show that Russia doesn't only represent War, Aggression, Cruelty, the worst of human characteristics but what Polina represents...great cultural achievements and values. Not for nothing did Dostoyevsky come from Russia.

[@speedcartooning9526]

With such a pianist sound quality doesn't matter..

[@dimadima4370]

[@markkoval4251]

Polina EXCELLENT! audio absolutely HORRIBLE 👎!!!

[@ezzovonachalm9815]

Die Akustik dieser Aufnahme ruiniert den unlimitierten musikalischen Talent von Polina Osietinskaja !!!.

[@z_186]

La honte à cette personne qui TOUSSE pendant qu'elle joue .

[@williamsibree4286]

Orchestra and pianist very crude and overblown. Klara Schumann would have been disgusted. Blowsy, too quick and fake.

[@PaulJones-oj4kr]

More glibness from her....the music does not breathe. And where she goes slower it is TOO erratically slow. Russians always do this.

[@Sytb01]

Agree. Pletnev particularly as if he remembers deeeeeep and wiiiiiiiide Volga river in each piece even with Scarlatti ))). And then run superfast to catch up - a trick to demonstrate his virtuosity. As to Polina you can watch her with the sound OFF and still enjoy her performance :)

[@jean-claudesergent8312]

Pôve con !

[@tadeuandrade9134]

snobby comment ....

[@williamsibree4286]

Quite appalling. Listen to Adelina de Lara and the Clara Schumann school. Ridiculously fast in far too many passages ("Keine Passagen!"}, and far too slow in others. Sounds like Rachmaninov, not Schumann. Orchestral playing like a Glazunov ballet with elephants.

[@user-qd9ms2wt8l]

​@@williamsibree4286 Спасибо за это знакомство с Адениной де Лара!!! Потрясающая исполнительница Шумана. Волшебная педаль, хрустальной чистоты звук, каждый голос звучит! К сожалению смогла найти на ютюбе только миниатюры в её исполнении. Интересно было бы услышать концерт с оркестром.

[@quicosanchez3119]
