I hope we make as much fuss over you here at home as those in Russia and abroad! Your power and command are extraordinary. I have taught this concerto. Bravo!

[@christopherdew2355]

Really?!! What have we done to deserve that? I do hope that changes. Nevertheless, I wish you continued success and joy wherever you perform. Lucky them, is all I can say. xx@@georgeharliono

2 years ago while i was batling with my cancer, i saw your videos and listen to your music. Now im a survivor, you have changed my life. Just to listen your magnificent hand, it moves me. Thank you so much george.. Love from indonesia. Terima kasih.

[@primawo]

I also commented one of your videos 2 years ago.. Hopefully i can watch your concert soon...

[@georgeharliono]

@@primawo Hello Primawo, I am glad you are better now. I hope you can come to my concert on the 26th of November this year in Jakarta at The Aula Simfonia :)

[@laksmikarsono9013]

I'm so proud!

[@markfortuin7111]

I am so happy you have recovered. Continue listening to George performing. His God given talent can bring you peace and comfort. I wish you well.

[@davidtyler357]

Wow!! That was absolutely electrifying George. Congratulations again on such a wonderful achievement, from playing piano on the streets to playing in the most famous piano competition ever ! 🎉 🎉🎉 💐💐💐💐💐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Wow, wow, wow , I’m so excited for you and you didn’t even look nervous 😁

[@donhulbert1913]

This is an amazing achievement, the Tchaikovsky International Competition has extraordinary alumni who have gone on to have significant careers! BRAVISSIMO!

[@johnbogle59]

George is as familiar with this work as he is with his soul. His perception reaches into the very mind of that arch patriot of Russia, the glorious Rachmaninov. And George enunciates the very emotional essence of this great composer with such clarity under the demanding hand of none other than Valery Gergiev. What a privilege to hear this glittering performance first hand! And how wonderful for us, absent from the recital hall, to be offered a glimpse , as of a far off supernova seen through a poor telescope, of this epic concert! Thank you George for competing ! Thank you Valery for taking on this concert! Thank you Sergei for the wisdom and insights , the emotional panorama,displayed in your wonderful composition given such brilliant illumination in this performance !!

[@donhulbert1913]

Uh, WITHOUT rehearsal? It was amazing either way, but was that purposeful, sort of like a final competition hurdle?

[@miguelelfarense]

Se merecía el 1er premio. Fue el mejor!!!

[@huikwanyuet2001]

he is the winner in my opinion. fresh unique very musical pianist! just like bruce liu in the chopin competition

[@helenholmes3530]

George your confidence and style is beautiful. I love to watch the love of music expressed in your face. Fantastic, an incredible piece to play, thank you, so much.

[@FranzKaernBiederstedt]

He's such a treasure and pleasure to see him play, so seemingly effortless, with great clarity and structurally aware and precise, captivating with his great smiles. Just amazing! But I always wonder what the heck Gergiev is doing. I could never play under him, I don't understand what his strange motions with this toothpick are supposed to convey...

[@randysills4418]

Oh George! I can not adequately express how happy I am for you, my favorite young pianist! What gorgeous, limpid playing! You are The Best! My best wishes for you, always!!! ❤

[@randysills4418]

PS: I always knew you would win an award like this...

George, everyone must have know that he's very talented and passionate pianist when they watch him. But what makes it more interesting for me is, he seems very relax even when he in the backstage, and always radiates his smile all around, how can he be that calm when he will be watched by thousands people. I can never relate. He look so ready to rock the stage. And yeaah, he always left the audience mesmerized by his performance.❤❤🎉😮 And congratulations for winning the 2nd Prize at 17th Tchaikovsky Competition, George!! Really happy for you 🎹😄🎉
