Cette femme joue tout en humilité contrairement à beaucoup de musiciens qui aiment faire du cinéma quand ils jouent : ils bougent, ils souffrent, ils font des grimaces ridicules.....

[@Mmh4566]

I don't know the first thing about music, but when tears start streaming when you're listening to this you know you're listening to something special.

[@danielabisenius9858]

This, is how piano should be played. The choreography of your hands and fingers is mesmerizing to me. I could watch them for hours. So many stories in every phrase, so much humility in every note, so much love... You ARE impeccable. That left hand should have been engraved in gold!!! Rest In Peace, queen!

[@davidschestenger3366]

Beautifully set, totally agree

[@Doozy_Titter]

It's true that the way her hands move is hypnotizing

[@stephenloxton43]

The greatest artist. So expressive and profound.

[@dabrowski7555]

Amen! I come back to this moment on a regular basis.

[@michaelroberts6894]

She sits amazingly still letting her hands doing the moving not herself as some can’t seem to sit still! She is elegance personified!

[@marksmith3947]

She's fat, so the body absorbs the reactions with less visible effect. It's similar with Sokolov. I don't mean to say something without a purpose. My point is that her technique is not unusual.

[@DavidPoulin-vr9xn]

The Prelude for left hand left me speechless. Absolute beauty & mastery.

[@aonutsihasnouith]

A true artist of the highest order.

[@elenanikonova7960]

Мы все учились фортепиано по ее учебникам, невероятная! Николай Луганский, ее последователь и ученик достойно несёт знамя ее школы 👍

[@fredsharp7419]

I have long admired her Bach ad Shostakovich Preludes and Fugues - but this programme is a revelation! Such control of power and colour. Mesmerizing.

[@guytanoparks]

Uncommon brlliance and musicality.

[@andream.464]

I didn’t know she could play Ravel like that! So musically deep and mesmerising!

[@ericcotter1984]

She reminds me of myself and I write VERY intense music 😅

[@ursularissmann-telle4000]

Als ich Studentin war, gastierte Tatjana Nikolajewa zwei Mal an der Musikhochschule mit Konzerten. Beide Male überschüttete sie - wie offensichtlich auch hier - das begeisterte Publikum mit Zugaben. Denn dass es Zugaben sind, zeigen ja die Blumensträuße. Sie war soooo großzügig. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@SELMER1947]

Magic !! One of the greatest artist of the XX century

[@miltonmoore5294]

Three years after this remarkable performance, Tatiana was stricken with a cerebral haemorrage while playing a recital of her beloved Shostakovich preludes in San Francisco, and could not continue. She died nine days later aged 69 in Santa Monica, California. "There is nothing more beautiful in art than a perfect tragedy." (This would be a magnificent program for a competitor at a piano competition to play during the customarily shorter preliminary stage. Regarding this performance, the Scriabin etude for the left hand ALONE would have been worth the price of admission! No one could achieve performing at this majestic level lest God be with them! A recital for "The Ages!")

[@charlottewhyte9804]

this is so sad about Tatiana

[@ciararespect4296]

I'd love to have her hands and the playing part of her brain , shame it can't be retrieved

[@ciararespect4296]

[@deanedge5988]

An amazing survival - what an incomparable artist who inspired and co created a masterpiece of her century the opus 87 of Shostakovich.

[@petroukiostz.1889]

Absolutely mesmerizing... Such heartfelt, elegant and respectful playing... The power of music to express deep emotions... To heal... What a humble and talented pianist... A truly beautiful human being...

[@davidmdyer838]

I think she is my favorite pianist of all time.

[@pianochris2276]

This is so amazing, this playing is so beautiful, so deep and rich, I love it!

imo piano mastery and grace at it's finest. Cannot really get better than this. Everynote is intended and sound crystal clear.

Pure magic in front of a rather unappreciative.audience. i would have applauded, yelled till my hands fell off and I was hoarse

[@DavidPoulin-vr9xn]

I agree but this is so grandiose that she makes me forget the sleepy audience and turn up the volume to fill my soul with her music

[@tatianaandro4554]

😂😂 Это 1990 год - тяжёлый год для жителей СССР! Думаю, что она их просто заворожила и загипнотизировала своим невероятным исполнением!;)

Come on, i NEED more of her Ravel, like every Ravel possible! There should be SOME hidden unreleased recordings, just should be.

[@solidsnake9332]

That Ravel Une Barque Sur L'ocean made me melt.

[@AsrielKujo]

that prokofiev was so surprising, immediately i said: WHAT THIS IS SO BAD NO PEDAL, but somehow she playes it so legato and personally it really surprised me and i loved it!

[@lorettaslovak8135]

Marvelous she is all color on the keys technique is only a means to her end. nobody today can boast a palette of color, which is also her story ! Where are the artists of today who can out color her performances .😇😇😇

[@МарианнаЮматова]

Многие мастера выехали навсегда за границу, там и остались, а также передали опыт иностраннцам, ещё многое зависит от государства, насколько ему необходимо искусство и как оно вкладывается в своих мастеров, даже сейчас многие пианисты уже за бугром: Ашкенази, Киссин, Трифонов, здесь они берут, а там отдают, ведь оплаты и отношение разное..
