Khatia Buniatishvili - Liszt Mephisto Waltz

[meredith218461]

I love her high wire risk taking, this is what this devilish piece demands. Khatia has a formidable technique and can produce real excitement and electricity as shown here. I'm sure she'll grow into a piano icon rather like her mentor Martha Argerich.

... elle à un train à prendre ou quoi ??? ceci dit la performance est remarquable !

[zamyrabyrd]

Looking forward to hearing more from this wonderful young lady (only in her early 20's!). Someone here mentioned "feeling for form". Exactly!!! The extremes of this piece are especially well balanced and controlled.

Very fine! She just got a Sony Contract! BRAVO!

[violmaster94]

I've heared Rubinstein, Horowitz, Kissin, all the great masters and haven't licked any. And then I come acoss a non record labeled version by someone I've never heared of and I'm just wowwwwwed. This was absolutely amazing.

[pila406]

Amazing pianist and musician. Best version / performance I have yet heard.

[Owlbatross]

This is my FAVORITE version of all I've heard here on YouTube ... VLADIMIR ASKENAZY's portrayal is the very BEST ever (except Dr. Sam Hsu's which was flawless and unfortunately never recorded - I witnessed that one.)

[Nicholasmcpt]

Stunning - incredible musicality married to an awesome technique. So exciting to have a new REAL pianist to follow!

[strad1944]

What a treasure! Move over everybody! Here is an artist! check out the Brahms 2 ... Lynn Harrell

[montezumalll]

To be frank:
