[toddaillon]

Bravo! LOVE this song. If I can ever reach this level i would die.

[mummysez1mspecial]

what? no rubato?

[f1l132]

you got to feel it only !!!

[EmFitzer]

good rendition, If you get a chance try to listen to james rhodes playing this piece !

[LoneWolf187]

Good job man... don't let the negative comments bother you.

[swimfish17]

you need loads of improvement and i felt that you should have worked with a metronome and it was way to messy and PUT SOME EMOTION INTO IT I FEEL LIKE IM AT A FUNERAL! ;)

[katalindre]

Well rehearsed. I can almost hear the metronome in the background.

Wait, that's a bad thing \:

[DarthRC51rider]

I'm with the 3 people that offered the criticisms. I want to add that I think the pianist is amazing but maybe his teacher should have recommended a different piece for him to play at the recital. One he had more sorted than this one.

[TheJackHarkness]

Made me cry..

[Alconius56]

lacks emotion... watch gilels--->>>

[SofiieeWinter]

you definately will be great one day, when you put the emotion into it

but im sorry, there were loads of mistakes, just too many . i know we all make them especially in concert !! but the way i see it you shouldnt perform a piece , like this one, until you have it as close to perfect as possible, at least not with this many mistakes.. sorry if thats rude though :))

[ImperatorVeritas]

This is far, far too fast. The word "Lento" is there for a meaning, you know. And there's also next to no dynamic distinction.

[intelligenceisacurse]

I'm giving you a 5/5 you are a great pianist and very young!

BUT I am critiquing only for your further improvement (cue the thumbs downs). In the beginning there is so much emotion but towards the end it seems as though you're just playing notes... it seems as though you were just trying to hurry up and get the song over with. Maybe you were bored after all the movement in the previous sections?

[09Twister]

My Fav, he played it so well

[GrandPiano42]

Great job, young man!

[hdevily]

nice!!!!!

[XIQQUX]

VERY GOOD!

[airvou]

Out of all the versions on youtube I could find, I like your version the best. I like it even more than the original Rachmaninov played himself...

[bradtiscali]
