Schumann: Klavierkonzert ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Khatia Buniatishvili ∙ Paavo Järvi

[@MrPrince1164]

I've been playing piano, classically trained, for almost 50 years. I believe I have earned the right to have an opinion as to the "greatness" of a pianist. Khatia is an incredibly gifted and passionate pianist whose interpretation of Rach 2 is refreshing. People who criticize either do not truly know or understand music from the perspective of the pianist or they are just cruel and jealous of the talent others possess. Many people may think people are merely born with a gift. Yes it's true there MUST be a certain amount of raw, natural talent involved - this is obvious - but what people don't see are the thousands and thousands of hours one practices to achieve greatness. It's a discipline most are never willing or capable of achieving. So a word to "critics"....once you are honestly able to say you spent your childhood, teen years, and many adult years hovering over a keyboard of other musical instrument, playing until your hands hurt, wanting to stop yet can't stop because the passion that compels you to play exceeds any physical pain or social price you pay for missing out on many things..hen you can have a platform and a right to criticize a true musician. Until then, you need to be very careful. When one lays their hands on a musical instrument to play in front of others- they are actually laying their soul bare to show the world. It's a vulnerability few can ever understand and certainly something small minded people can not respect.

[@DidiPort]

Mr Ward one thinks you are on to something. Many of the great pieces of music are not of this time. This being the case, are not all sinfones all reproductions technically interpretations. Is it not the interpretation that gives flavour, surprise and that faint smile. Perspective is everything, don’t complain enjoy something new - different if you like. I am not classically trained, but thoroughly enjoy the piece I did. Khatia keep playing, interpret your beautiful soul out, this is true beauty. Best regards Adrian

[@wendychen5779]

Some comments believe she is showy or flashy and that "classical music needs no frills and posturing." I disagree. In a live performance, the "performer" is part of the performance. If Khatia is "flashy" here, then Beethoven was s a horror as a much sought-after pianist in Vienna of his days there. Don't like what you see? Just close your eyes and listen (of course you'll miss seeing her excellent fingering and her touch on the piano and necessary body movement, if you happen to be a piano player). I have listened to classical music for more than 60 years now, and I find Khatia's interpretation of Schumann's piano concerto authentic and true to the Romantic spirit of Schumann. Clara Schumann, herself a superb pianist, would most likely have approved of Khatia's performance as recorded here. Personally, I wanted to cite just one specific passage that begins about <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="317">5:17</a>, where the piano has a "dialogue" with the clarinet and then with other instruments. That, to me, is Schumann's love song to Clara, if not a lyrical gift to all of us. I'd recommend a similar lyrical "dialogue" between the oboe and the bassoon in the opening passage of the 3rd movement of Schumann's 2nd Symphony. We are blessed to be able to see and hear Khatia perform live for us.

[@stevew1107]

I would love to agree all of us should enjoy the music for what it really is. We should feel the emotions of the musician . Hear the sweet sound the musician makes with the touch of each key. But, I searched youtube for "women piano players". Over half of all the women were wearing some type low cut top, tight dress above the knees etc. Women do this to get noticed and do not tell me otherwise! Some of them go as far as looking like strippers, minus the dance pole. Then women, such as yourself, wonder why people end up looking at their bodies rather then enjoying their performance. This attitude takes away from their true authenticity of being accomplished pianists and puts them on the same level of being just another sexy body; similar to Sports Illustrated swimsuit models. As for me I do like what I see. But I fall into the same class of 99.999% of all men and we represent half of the world's population. I would love to be wrong here but sadly, I think we both know it's true.

[@stevew1107]

@@georgescancan7503 Thank you for reading my wall of text. I have always associated "classical" music as being just that, classy. But when watching above along with, Yuja Wang, and Amanda Palmer, just to name a few, they cheapen themselves with their attire. Their performance is often overlooked or greatly diminished. Further, women often get frustrated that men view them as sex objects. In other words women are being noticed but in the way they should be noticed. Hearing about Linda Lampenius, it sounds like she had some hard learned lessons of reality and I am sure she has come out much wiser now. I hope others can learn from her experiences.

[@nibiru48]

I think it's amusing how so many viewers are focused and/or disturbed by what Khatia is wearing. The point is that it's a magnificent piece of music, played by a great orchestra, conductor AND a soloist who is not only physically attractive, BUT IS ALSO a consummate technician who injects life, soul and passion into Schumann's work. Why not simply enjoy the music instead of letting the world know what your insecurities are?

Totally agree with you. I suspect that if the people who are complaining about Khatia's attire were BLIND, then there would be almost zero criticisms from them. They're just too hung up on her physical appearance and don't realize that a beautiful woman like Khatia can truly be blessed with extraordinary musical talent.

[@LazlosPlane]

See my comment above. The dress is a distraction and disrespectful to the performance experience. Imagine a male wearing a speedo and performing this piece. Why not? We (the straight male, if there are any left) are not "hung up" on the dress. She is very sexy and the dress is designed to highlight and exaggerate that. Genetics.

LazlosPlane I suppose we can agree to disagree on this one. For me, once the music got started my focus was on her performance as a pianist. But I can accept that for some, like you, her dress kills the performance.

[@mauricerivermusic9110]

Schumann is one of the first super romantic composers, so Buniatishvili's musical expression matches the appropriate style. Her clothing seems to attract attention from some commenters. What her nearly backless dress shows is the perfect rams-rod straight posture of a fine pianist. She not only shows this foundational aspect of her pianism, but has finger accuracy and speed and well controlled wrists. That she is communicating expressively can be seen on the faces of some of the orchestral players who respond physically to Buniatishvil as they listen when not playing. At the conclusion, the orchestral players were all smiles and applauded. Believe me, orchestra members can't be fooled. They'll keep their hands in their laps if they think the soloist is a fraud! I've seen it several times. Here we had an enthusiastic orchestra who clearly knew they had just accompanied the real thing.

このピアニストのシューマンにおける和声の色づけと旋律の絶妙の色合い、そしてシューマン独特の特異な曲構成との大胆な掛け合いに釘づけになった。ステージ慣れからの余裕から来る油断も時折あったように感じたが、全体に素晴らしい出来栄えだと思った。アンコールの「愛の夢」は、息もつけぬ緊張感で圧倒された。凄い気迫だ。今日まで聞いたことのなかったピアニストだが、名前を覚えておこう。カティア・ブニアテシヴィリさんだ。

As always this wonderful Orchestra shining. I can see my most admired Clarita Andrada at her "magic flute". Mr García, excellent Spanish oboist, the Argentinian Concertino, my admired Akemi and all those marvelous musicians. A remarkable conductor, Maestro Paavo Järvi. And the last but, of course, not the least a young outstanding pianist Kathia. Thank you to all of them!! Great performance, superb music by Schumann!!

[@rgh7399]

The addition of Ms. Andrade to this group does indeed make it more special.

Breathtakingly beautiful, as is her playing.

[@heinsdasein1523]

I found 2 cds in a free fair about 15 years ago, one of them was Bach’s cello suites n. 1 and 2, the other one was a collection of Edward Grieg’s and Robert Schuman’s piano works, at that time I was very immersed into Ancient Greece, the Renaissance, poetry and modern art. These Schuman’s opuses were the perfect soundtrack for a very special journey through cubism. It’s not easy to explain how amazing, inspiring, encouraging,and poetic that period of my life was, yet it still lives on while listening to this performance. I’m so grateful for having found this beautiful musical geometry. Thank you nature, I feel you nurture a part of me which needed your endless love.

[@aaronjorgefridman5662]

Un concierto brillante en su más amplio sentido, exige un solista de muy buen nivel que no sólo toque bien sino que interprete bien. Tocar es técnica. Interpretar es sentimiento

The Encore is absolutely unbelievable. This simple piece by Liszt so marvelously interpreted, so fresh, so alive ...

[@Andreas-J-Wieland]

Yes, one of the best interpretations of Liebestraum No3 by Liszt. Normally, there is great deal of "Kitsch"-danger in this piece. She performs it in a subtle manner that is not at all sentimental.

[@megamondocane]

Khatia is WONDERFUL! I've listen the way she's playing Tchaicovsky's piano concerto number 1. Marvellous! A women beautiful like a goddess, very sensible, putting all her soul when she's playing. God bless her! Thank you Godess!

[@AjaySharma-me1sy]

This is one of the best performances I have ever heard, and the way she ended it, the linger, the wait, the expectation and the unexpectation of it all, it was superb! As I said, one of the best I have ever heard. And to not miss it, this one is probably the best orchestra she has performed with, I've listened to at least 10 other of her performances and this one is particularly special mainly because of the orchestral tone.

[@pauldestoop7652]

All that is said, I absolutely agree and more.

[@dawhike]

She Becomes One with the Music.

[@ComposerInUK]

I'm unclear as to whether I'm watching the same video as some of those who have commented after me. The chord punctuation at the start IS together. She is not a "rubbish unmusical pianist". Have you been listening to Liberace's version of this? She plays with great passion and sensitivity but that is completely unclouded by sentimentality. Jaarvi's support is exemplary and the clarinet and oboe actually listen to each other and the pianist. And what do you suggest she wear? She's young and attractive and I see no reason why she should dress like a nun. I think many of you are being very mean here. And, dare I say it?, one or two commentators don't write as if they know much about pianos, pianists, orchestras, concertos or Schumann. Shall we all grow up a little...?

[@BearsBareNecessities]

It is over sentimental and lacks pace. At times the piano can't be heard. None of the great pianists convey this effect.

[@ComposerInUK]

I'm sorry you think that she crosses the borders into sentimentality. I don't agree but you have a right to assert your view. But even if she does, I still like it. If the piano can't be heard, that's the recording engineers' problem, not hers,

[@GODenWord]

I will comment just on dressing. So by ur logic if a person is pretty she or he should wear only pervert cloths.... No! There is more in this life then sex and classical music is more. This is not a main stream music where the music does not even metter, but the goal is how pervert singers are. But this is classical music, so the music is only what metters and her pervert dressing is destrudtion. P.s. But do not get me wrong, if just ignore her dressing, the music was wonderful!!!

[@ComposerInUK]

I simply think that a woman should be allowed to wear what she chooses to wear without being called a pervert. What an utterly stupid and offensive comment.

[@GODenWord]

ComposerInUK Awry body can wear what he or she wants, but it does not mean that awry body will appreciate that. Example, u can go nicked on the street but it does not mean that awrybody will anjoy that and the same as nobody has rights to force u to wear something the same u have no rights to force awrybody to like that what u wear.

Wonderful! Khatia Buniatishvili plays with a sweetly tragic expression ... it seems that the farewell is sounding that two lovers give each other after a life spent together (I'm referring to the first movement of the concert). Excellent audio and, above all, video recording: it can be understood perfectly (because the performers are framed) when the piano converses first with the clarinet and then with the oboe, in that poignant phrasing. Thanks to those who posted these wonderful shots.
