This is not recorded well here . The variety of tone this woman has is apparent and her imagination shines here ! The wrists of a true virtuoso and listen to how she lets the first section build. I brought several cds and the sound was perfect-don't know what happened here. How did i overlook this exciting gorgeous sculptured performance .
@utubuser10 she's a goddes of pianoplaying..listen her sound,her magic touch,her incredible tecnique...how can you say that?She didn't win the competition and this is a shame.
@1Thompsonmusic certainly can't ascertain that from this performance which sounds overwrought and noisy, but, to each his own. if you like it that's your perogative.
Che meraviglia!!! Cara Mariangela hai certamente vinto nei nostri cuori! un Grosso abbraccio e complimenti di vero cuore da un malato di pianoforte e pianisti..
Strawinsky non è il mio preferito, ma ti ho ascoltato per sentire fino alla fine l'orchestra che hai nelle dita. Grazie mariangela per aver suonato per noi e non soltanto per il van cliburn prize
This is the New Martha Argerich. So far the best pianist I have heard in this competition. Pure music, every note brings a different dynamic. Based on what I heard she was the most voted by the public. The audience can't be wrong. Honestly she is the only pianist that I managed to listen to the entire version for the beauty of her playing.
I can't believe she didn't get any medal.. i'm very disappointed with the results of this competition and i think i'm not the only one, because she has turned to be the most voted competitor by the public of the internet live broadcast.
besides, none of the 2009 prize winners can even be compared to olga kern or alexander kobrin.
she is my favorite in the competition, but i felt like this was the weak spot in her program. it's an interesting and compelling reading, but too pianistic (rather than orchestral) for my taste, and too expressive for stravinsky.
her liszt and busoni were on fire, and i can't wait for her final round.
Stravinsky made the arrangement for Rubinstein who thought the piano writing so convoluted that he refused to play it. Many professional pianists tweak it, adding and omitting notes because it really isn't pianistic in the way,say, Rach 3 which although difficult lies under the fingers. It is rare to hear such a clean and musically clear performance as this. GREAT piano playing and very exciting.
This is indeed very good. Most live performance of this piece I have heard suffers (in my mind) by comparison with the implausibly accurate old recording of the work by Maurizio Pollini - but her playing has real strength and pace.

CONGRATS! In my opinion she will definitely be one of the first 3 prizewinners. Her orchestral rehearsal was very convincing.

è in assoluto la migliore concorrente del 2009, sa coniugare virtuosismo e liricità come nessun altro. Se il concorso è "pulito" sarà lei a vincerlo.
