Still my all-time favorite performance of this piece. Unsurpassed after all these years.

[@therainforest4314]

Absolutely beautifully delivered! Surgical precision, yet the presence of organic humanity.

[@alvexok5523]

This lady, and Piemontesi's performance of this piece, are the best versions yet.

[@alvexok5523]

@山田花 , what's that mean?😶

[@aaaaaaaaaaaa9023]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXu6dXmOocqWadk This one is better

[@michelponcet5810]

I agree

[@cynicxloud]

Rana suparsses Piemontesi imo

[@binomial]

I remember watching this nearly 14 years ago with utter bewilderment and now reliving that experience. Well done! Your performance is truly inspiring.

[@jdbrown371]

I keep returning to this one too. Unfortunately they degraded the video. Mario Mazo is a five star pianist.

[@ChrisThomson1001]

Very courageous to play this in public. It's not easy!

[@bartwatts1921]

+Shangrilaa you disgusting, vile creature. You are nothing more than an uniformed troglodyte.

[@alvexok5523]

@@bartwatts1921 , what did Shangrilaa write? He/she probably realized that it was something messed up because it's deleted, KZbin probably deleted it themselves due to its inappropriateness. If it was so disgusting and messed up that KZbin took it down, then don't repeat it actually, I don't want you to get in trouble with them too.

[@timjhanderson]

wowow. How she manages to bring a whole orchestra to life from within a piano is astounding. Brilliant video.

[@marinacmh]

Wonderful performance

[@doritodog6242]

I'm going to attempt to play this for my senior recital and watching you play has given me the motivation to do my best in learning this piece

[@synthesiacomposer5459]

How are you doing on the piece?

[@TatiMare0]

Despite her fast tempo in the berceuse movement, she did an incredible job! Bravo

[@Checkmate1138]

I thought she played a tad bit too fast in the finale, but that's just personal taste. Overall, fantastic performance! You sure don't see me doing that anytime soon, haha.

[@jordanrazowskymusician8178]

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JVTechMusic]

Maria you are the greatest I have ever seen..great performance with a lot of fire..great super piano playing

[@davesax11]

Marvellous!!

[@cwelch37]

Watched this again for a second time. My god, what a finale! Amazing.

[@garbanzo1997]

AHHH!!! THAT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFIL THING I'VE EVER HEARD!! I JUST CAN'T STOP JUMPING ARROUND WHRN I HEARD IT!! I JUST LOVE THAT SUITE!!!!! LONG LIVE TO THE FIRE BIRD!!!!!! WHOOOO!!!!!!!!!

[@WigbertTraxler]

Very impressing!!!

[@Jazzy174]

I remeber hearing this song in music class when I was younger ,this song is amazing!!!=)

[@uweboll8833]

Incredible performance! Her FIREBIRD is on fire! Magic!!!

[@TheCinemaization]

Amazing. Outstanding. I wish I could play like that.

[@DavidBennettThomas]

The best video on youtube hands down.

[@foofootina]

Literally breathtaking....I actually did find myself holding my breath at the end c':

[@garbanzo1997]

60 musicians in a girl's fingers! I love you Maria!

[@musicspinner]

Sayyyyyyyyyyyyy whaaaaaat! Nice work! :D

[@nathanalexander28]

finale is so beautiful

[@PutitinDaramen]

Barcues finale

[@troubleclef]

To be able to play King Kashchei's Infernal Dance on the piano has to be one of life's finer pleasures. :D wonderful.

[@virgilrw]

I just had an inkling to hear the "Firebird Suite" via solo piano and here I am... Needless to say she is a #BRILLIANT MUSICIAN!

[@TheGenesis489]

I Saw Her And I Loved How She Played

[@carbonc6065]

The ending is fantastic!

[@klapsikopatiko]

This is incredible. Nothing but music

[@nigeldeforrest-pearce8084]

Brilliant and Beautiful!!!

[@Mr.Dziej72]

This is, without any doubt at all, the most fabulous thing I have ever seen on youtube. The most glorious performance of anything. And she is one BUSY lady there!

[@LeonardoColafelice]

bellissima interpretazione. Complimenti!!

[@MyCrazyRobloxian]

This is truly amazing!! I've heard the orchestra version and it sounds almost identical. What you see is different to what you hear... She LOOKS like she's just hitting a bunch of notes, but, that's not the case. If you close your eyes and just listen, you can truly enjoy this masterpiece.

[@janotopercer8360]

Nice to hear Firebird in Maria's hands!

[@dhanirivai]

damnation!! awesome arrangement and awesome pianist!!

[@alfonsomaribona]

Bravo!!!

[@selaromyar]

This is a perfect storm for a pianist: 1) Great music 2) Great instrument, and 3) Great Pianist. Brovo!

[@johannaeilers3837]

Ich finde es einfach nur cool, es klingt echt geil

[@najihakim55]

God bless you! Wonderful!

[@DanoKablamo]

My heart broke! Is this possible? I was saved. Sweet salvation in 10 fingers and 88 keys...

[@theimprovisor]

Wonderful. An orchestra in ten fingers. Great music, great transcription, great interpreter.

[@brickbizarre]

Oh......My.......Gosh. Just when I think I've seen it all......there's an even more amazing performance. I think it's going to be tough to outdo this one. I have never seen such effortless virtuosity together with flawless interpretation of a full orchestra on the piano. It actually forced the tears to flow from my eyes. Such incredible beauty. If you ask me, this kind of music is proof that there's an afterlife. There are simply not enough superfluous adjectives. I'm pleasantly stunned.

[@MrXtuba]

That finale was so good omg...

[@waponesepower]

It is very stunning indeed. I listened to this piece yesterday on some cd but it had too much pedal use. That's why I went to look at this performance again. This sounds very controlled and professional. Just splendid !

[@joonhwex]

this is freaken amazing. wow.

[@davidcottrell1308]

WOW...tremendous virtuosity from both performer and composer!!!

[@oldgrampaw]

This is beyond fabulous. It is breath taking!!!

[@PhilRounds]

[@Klaviererlebnis]

Ich bin immer wieder begeistert, sehr gelungen!

[@tritonobionico]

excellent! I love tension and mystery in music; absorbent

[@popoffrules]

I loved the interpretation, as the comment before mine...it really has very different levels of volume for the different voices, making it sound like a real orchestra

[@PSearPianist]

Thanks for uploading this most enjoyable performance of such difficult repertoire. Bravo!

[@noriemeha]

stunning

[@thecelloman1300]

Incredible!! Beautiful girl and music! :)

[@guadalajara4848]

[@gerardbegni2806]

Wonderful sense of the tone to be redered. Wonderful execution.

[@SunShinesBlack]

the start is heavy metal for piano sliding into gorgeous scapes i darn love it

[@bsmusicd]

Wonderful performance. I'm attempting to learn this transcription right now and it is sooo difficult. This only the only performance I've heard that really sounds like an orchestra. Bravo!

[@fortepianowalter]

Congratulations! beautiful and great pianist!

[@Bizetfan]

It sounds like a orchestra. It's perfect !

[@wickedismycrack714]

[@dawggonecrazee]

[@RCEmichaelreavey]

7:49 and following make me weep

[@CorradoLoffredi]

Finalmente qualcuno che a 1:52 non fa quell'orribile rallentando seguito da un movimento molto più lento!!!

[@JohanFrenchPianist]

This is the way, don't forget : the more you'll discover the world's knowledge (philosophy, the other arts of all centuries, ethnic group etc) , the more you'll be charismatic with a piano :)
