@Simonect92: Exactly my point. Soul is what I personally feel amiss in this performance. Somehow my impression is that she is trying to show off her acrobatic skill. I might be wrong, but it was a turn-down to me...
i agree with 'wagneristhebest' - congratulations to Alice Ott for her excelent technique and solide musicianship, but please! be loyal to your talent - go and learn a lot more about the depths of music before you become another pin-up girl of classic! or is the big money already your master? a performance not much more average than of a talented music student...
What a wonderful technique! And an enlightening presence! But there is a lack of magic here, a lack of musical ingenuity. A lack of the ability to turn my head and say 'wow I've never heard the Waldstein in that way.' I could listen to this performance and forget it, never moved like the way Barenboim plays it. A very average performance.
I really like Alice so much! With youtube videos sometimes its so hard to really hear the nuance. But I am alway curious to compare when possible Aimi to others. I found it interesting t listen to 4:40 through 5:15 here, to (utube vid) "AADGT Aimi plays the Waldstein 1st Movement" from Aimi Kobayashi. I find Aimi a real prodigy and this small part showcases why to my ears. looking forward to an adult Aimi.
Good but far too fast. 25% slower and it would have been a masterpiece.

@IzumiJK i prefer music.. On music you can hear your soul (if you have one), while Olympic games are only made to entertain!

Well played, but for Beethoven, there should be more contrast.

Sounds more like Liszt than Beethoven.

She has virtuosity and all. But where is the right interpretation for Beethoven's music ? Her Waldstein Sonata sounds like Liszt or Chopin to me.

@TofuUnion Really? Care to explain?

@TofuUnion I actually don't think it's like Liszt or Chopin. She did emphasize the virtuosic part of it, but I don't think it's too romantic

@kmpiano1 Another case of similar (romantic) Waldstein interpretation is Horowitz.
I prefer more Pollini or Gulda one. But,it's just about the question of your taste.

若她可以再多給曲子自己發揮的空間，
{有些小節被濃縮、壓抑了}
我會更加喜歡她這個演出^^
