She's got one hell of a technique, BUT, this interpretation is rushed, sloppy, and completely without imagination. There are also dropped and added notes. The ending, whihc is usually quite powerful, is SO BLURRED that all of the vastness -- all of the bigness is totally absent.
Sorry. Listen to either Byron Janis or Vladimir Horowitz play this.
MAY YOU HAVE THE MOST PLESEANT NIGHT EVER, LOLA I SALUTE YOU WITH MY SOUL FOR MY WHOLE BEING IS IN HEAVEN THANKS TO YOURE TOUCH AND YOURE LOVE OF MUSIC IN YOURE OWN SPECIAL MOVEMENT OF TOUCH AND DELIVERNCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOWW I CAN SLEEP WITH THE CONFORT OF KNOWING THAT YOU EXIST AND CAN MAKE MUSIC BE FELT IN SUCH A WAY THAT MAYBE NOT MANY CAN RELATE, BUT I KNOW THAT TOMORROW WHEN I WAKE UP, I WILL BE AWAKING WITH A MUCH BRIGHTER SMILE THANKS TO YOURE WAY OF EMBRACING EACH NOTE I SO LOVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST YOURE NAME ALONE MAKES IT HAPPEN FOR ME,.. Y HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE FEELING OF LISTENING TO YOURE PLAYING, AND EACH TOUCH OF YOURE FINGERTIPS AS THEY EMBRACE EACH NOTE MAKES MY LIFE SO MUCH PLEASANT TO BE LIVEDD,...... THANK YOU LOLA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah, Lola, again, thank you! I realize that you are striking out on your own path, and I wish you all the luck and good fortune in it. You are the second female pianist to capture my musical heart in a big way, the other being Helene Grimaud, who is also an amazing human being. Perhaps, you will play together someday. Some great Rachmaninoff two-piano works await you!
I'm very impressed by your interpretation. I have heard many, many versions of this movement and yours ranks right near the top -- my favorite has been Witold Malcuzynski's but now I don't know.
Really a GOOD reminder how _intense_ this movement is.... Chopin outstanding by his own standards, and this is one of only few occasions demonstrating it. Sokolov could be added.
Is there a video of Lola playing with Gergiev? If so please post. I think with his ferocious conducting style/personality and Lola's explosively passionate pianism these two would match up quite nicely. Is it just me or the photograph at 1:02 seems to be full of sexual tension? Good God imagine them playing a russian concerto! Astanova + Gergiev = multiple orgasms!
The sound u make on the piano is so smooth and strong. How do u do it? It's like u have a secret button hidden somewhere that makes all the notes sound so uhm smooth? I listen to piano music a lot but ur sound is different and everything is connected. Umm Dunno how to say it really, but ur sound is different for sure!
Lola, although God has given you a beautiful body, you need only provide us with your Aura of music enhanced to its highest levels to date. Thank our dear Lord for using you to provide us with such, such music.
@rachmaninovpc3dminor Her beauty disturbs me...I must know more about this creature as she has captured me completely. Enormously talented, this interpretation reminded me of Horowitz.

Thank you for posting this. Shows that Lola's music is just as intense and magical even when you can't see her performing.

Ok that easily matches the greatest pianists that have recorded this masterpiece. I will not be surprised if she gets very well known in a few years.

Talent and beauty don't always go together however in Ms. Lola's case, it obviously does.
