I love Olga Kern tenderness, she is one with the piano and you can definitely feel her soul

[@ms.annthrope415]

What a treat for all the paino makers to see what a beautiful instrument they made and what artistic sounds can be played from their labor. They are seeing what their product sounds like in the hands of a top notch, gifted pianist.

One of the most outstanding pianists I have ever heard of Rachmaninoff

[@AndySaenz]

I had the special privilege of hearing and seeing her perform the 2nd Rachmaninov piano concerto with the NMSO in 2008 in Albuquerque, NM. She was AMAZING! It was an exhilarating experience!

We would all love to see Olga play more! Thanks for this wonderful video!

[@AliOlshan]

very well put video! Thanks everyone!

[@bretbreneman5767]

A wonderfully incisive sharing by Ms. Kern that demonstrates how organically connected to Rachmaninov she is!

One day i wish i could become owner of one of ur pianinos :> Keep up magnificent job.

[@VICTOBERN]

Frustrating to not hear one uninterrupted piece here. Olga deserves that despite it being obviously a totally legitimate interview.

[@philipsmith3084]

Olga, that was magnificent!

[@chaldnipatterns]

Great series - but, future musical performances should be recorded in stereo!

[@chad4149]

Ольга классно играет без всякой профессиональной акустики,все естественно,живая игра.Эх жаль фортепиано не докончил,учился 8 лет,даже играл марш из оперы балет ,,щелкунчик",прилюдию g-moll рахманинова ,и другие ,15 лет неиграл уже 40 стукнуло может быть для себя вспомнить да и пальцы не бегают.

02:23 Was that guy on his phone ? So disrespectful, here's an incredibly talented, passionate person pouring out her soul trying to convey the emotions that Rachmaninoff put into a piece of music, and what's this guy doing, checking his fantasy football stats, wait I guess it could have been an emergency...although I noticed he didn't leave.

[@marthajane6617]

Why not more Olga and less Wang, this lady is so authentic, gracious, ladylike and genius in her approach to convey the composers message.

[@serkebey]

Интересно, ведь скока лет она на западе, а акцент так остался сильно русский

[@penelopa771]

serkebey это издержки преподавания языка по Бонк
