Khatia Buniatishvili - Liszt Piano Concerto no. 2 - L'Orchestre de Paris - Andrey Boreyko

[@drjamesbthring3739]

As a non-piano-player it is hard to comprehend how a human being can deliver this demanding concerto at such astonishing tempo with seemingly perfect accuracy, sometimes playing two different sequences simultaneously. Moreover Khatia throws herself at the instrument with relish and enjoyment, interspersed with calm attention to conductor and orchestra. She brings alive a superb work of art into an audio-visual treasure.

[@sergio_damato]

Only one possible reason: God, IMHO. Respectfully. Regards.

[@drjamesbthring3739]

@@sergio_damato It is unclear which question you ascribe to the intervention of God? How a human can perform so miraculously? It is indeed tempting to abandon understanding of how anyone can learn such creations and execute them with perfection and aplomb without Devine Inspiration. But in my respectful but agnostic opinion, Khatia has worked hard since she was 6 on this music, with genetic talent from her mother and a built-in devotion to the composers. It would be unfair, but admittedly plausible, that the Almighty has had a mysterious input.

[@nevillewilliams]

You have hit on why this performance stands out above others. Generally I'm not a big Liszt listener, but this has changed that. I think she has decided she is Liszt for this performance @ 5:25, 16:20 look at her expressions which to me mean I've got this!! At 20:00 she is like a coiled spring waiting to explode. I think Andrey Boreyko should be given a mention here. The communication between him and the orchestra & Khatia is just great to watch. The whole way they all talk to each other visually, really makes this performance a real treat. The editing and camera work also captures the whole drama of the piece.

Ms Khatia has the touch of an angel. Before becoming aware of Khatia, I was barely a fan of classical music. Once I heard her for the first time, I became a fan. I love her story and how bright she is. The Buniatishvilis are an outstanding family. Each day, I look to see if there are any new releases of her music. Thank God for this angel.

Angelic and Mephistophelian. She took me from the Gates of Heaven to the Depths of Hell - and what a trip it was. For me her emotional expressions are not for effect, they must come from her soul and she is not shy so she doesn't hide it from us. Personally I don't find that distracting...It's her gift to her audience. I understand and respect other people's opinions and tastes but for me this was phenomenal and I thank her.

[@leoinsf]

Best performance of this Liszt tone poem (hiding as a piano concerto). Heard too many virtuosic, slam-bang performances of this orchestral masterpiece. Khatia has the technical efficiency to address the melodic aspects of this concerto and not slam-bang her way to an ovation which most Liszt-players seem to do. Yes, there are flashes of virtuosity, but the majority of this piano concerto is tone poem and the performer must never lose sight of the lyrical aspects of this beautiful tone poem for piano and orch. I need to listen to the other performances by this beautiful, talented pianist for sure!!!!

I came here not as a fan of Liszt but a huge fan of Khatia. I came away having been completely sold on this 2nd Concerto and having all my reasons for loving Khatia's pianism confirmed. What I thought of as bombastic, she turns into dramatic, although I did think the Finale lost some of its grandeur because of its excessive speed. There was great poetry here, too, and that also comes from the beautiful direction of Andrey Boreyko and the wonderful orchestra. Thank you for sharing this dazzling performance.
