I want to scream....... Couldn't take such rare beauty. I screamed, mom comes running worried. I shout "ITS TOO GREAT!" Mom walks away.

this is so ridiculously wonderfully done. virtuosic use of pedal and such character in the way they play each note. you can hear the experience and the detail put into each line of this piece. it's amazing. kudos to Kholodenko and Gugnin.

excellent attention to detail going on here...brings out harmonic and rhythmic patterns that i'd never noticed before.

[WOWdato]

very well played I'd play it a bit faster. good job!

You made it seem fun and easy. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have talent...

[dmtdekker]

Well done))

I greatly enjoyed this performance, thanks for posting! Very judicious use of the pedals, and excellent layering of voices. I only wish the fortissimos were...well...more fortissimo, but still overall excellent.

what prize did they get?

[sanmarinopiano]

2nd Prize

[GeorgeMaxwellDuPre]

If this is second, I'd like to see who got first.

Congrats guys! this was very musically done, a good understanding of the music without trying to wow the audience with virtuosity, of which there was certainly no lack.

Absolutely wonderful performance of this. Very straightforward and well done.
