You're actually the cleanest pianist i've ever heard, I just can't believe you're so young. In my opinion, you're surpassing some of the oldest veteran pianists I've ever heard. That's just flawless.

Magnifique, grandiose ! Vous jouez réellement Chopin, au vrai sens du terme: Un jeux avec du rire et des larmes. Que de belles émotions tour-à-tour faites de jubilations, de profondeurs et de mélancolies et avec quelle maîtrise ! Un grand merci pour la justesse de votre "jeux", vous avez tout compris de Chopin ! Quel bonheur quand autant de travail s'évanouit derrière tant de beauté !

When a horse wins a race by several lengths but the stewards place it fifth, you know they're either blind or biased. How this impossibly talented, passionate and accomplished maestra didn't win the Chopin competition by some margin remains one of life's mysteries. Suggest a new set of judges for next year's event...

[@kairomanladzinski3112]

100 % agree. She is by far one of the best interpreters and performers of Chopins music. And this includes the big names. To let her not pass is beyond comprehension....

This performance is just amazing. I think she is following the legacy of Claudio Arrau. Artists like her are necessary, she has very clear that music is about expression, and a good performance is about respecting the composer’s intentions. She is an amazing artist.

[@LC-ig2jm]

+Macgki They jurors did the same with Tiffany Poon. This, and Poon being passed by are not fair. I heard several pianists who are clearly less good than these 2 woman. In natalie, they may think 16 is too young. she will do better in 2020.

[@katharina_klotz]

Omg you know Tiffany i love her❤ but I think I know why, Natalie played with too much musicality and rubato, she should follow more the dynamics in the notes and take care of the phrases, maybe thats why.

[@kechi9021]

I don’t know much about judging in Piano competitions or classical music in general, but I heard someone say you should always be faithful to the score, and play as how the composer intended it to be played, so maybe that’s why she didn’t pass, but Idk I’m not an expert.

[@aritomoshinozaki7124]

My teacher had a performance and competition career. Her observation is too many competitions are first focused on fast and loud. Musicality and playing at tempos which sing more than stun are not usually rewarded in the same way. BTW there is some notion that Natalie tends to play more like Chopin might have himself than many modern interpreters. His pianos of the time were lighter and more delicate and would have favored this melodious approach over a clangourious over-speed modern playing. As a rule so far I would listen to Natalie’s Chopin for musicality and touch, and listening pleasure in most all her recorded versions vs many famous player currently. Yes there are others more theatric and athletic but that can be more like classical WWE than watching ballet IMHO.

[@marsdengriswold4610]

Delightful, this young woman shows an incredible sense of feeling for this work. I cannot help but think that Chopin would be as enthused about her playing .

[@lexsmith8689]

she´s so easy to listen to.. it´s so refreshing, light and breezy despite playing Chopin´s ultra hard technique masterpiece Natalia manages to deliver suberb sound and, as Sander Cohen in Bioshock said, to seduce the ear and delight the spirit.. the ONLY other 2 pianists, who are able to do this for me are Fred Oldenburg and Valentina Lisitsa.. nobody else.. only those three.. flawless technique, easiness and immense emotional delight.. in fact listening to them often makes me wanna go and start learning to play piano..

Very pleasant rendition. Technically very secure and not risk taking. A little more imaginative and personal approach may help her to come out of the pack.

[@christopherboye7112]

Perfectly correct. Every young pianist (and most do) should listen to Horowitz' interpretation(s) of this - not to "copy", of course, but to learn from and grasp. Rubato and dynamics are very weak here - fortissimo, in selected phrases where necessary, completely absent. This is a bit mechanical and pedal heavy. She is a fine pianist (young and hence not musically mature - yet), so these are purely constructive observations.
