Glinka : The Lark (L'Alouette)

[rogerszoe]

oh, and this is an extremely difficult piece because I have tried

[rogerszoe]

It is very hard to find videos of this piece of music. Among the couple I have watched with famous people (adults) performing this, I actually think this version is the best so far !! awesome!!

[sangeetabraam]

Nice work on an extremely difficult, but incredibly beautiful, piece!! Congratulations!

[arivas713]

TOO SHORT!

[RhaegarTargaryen1884]

@arivas713 stupid children. When will they grow taller.

[arivas713]

@RhaegarTargaryen1884 LOL. This made me laugh, i had a rough day, thanks for that.

[lemiswro]

Nuuunuuuuunuuuu

[cindyc100]

Well, if the gooks plug in their kids to a piano for eight or nine hours a day, what do you expect?

[ModelDX1]

@cindyc100 Actually Rachel spends 8 0r 9 hours a day in school

then the schools in Taiwan send work home with them.

Rachel spends only 1 (one) hour and some times less at piano a day.

She does not deserve the hateful term of gook used toward her.

[caszidy215]

@cindyc100 WoW that was beyond rude, you don't know her. Are you jealous because she is more talented than you? She is probably smarter than you will ever be and that would not be surprising considering your rude arrogant comment.

[afertyus1000]

@cindyc100 lol

[edtskyline]

[anfaltair]

klingt nach steinway ^^

[nickisuperhot]

wow! ur really good for ur age!keep it up=)!

[strawberryxbunnygirl]

Good muscial tone and quality. But, careful at the beginning. You're a little stiff. I recommend using a bit more arm and body instead of just the wrist and hand. Beautiful! Phrasing is solid and secure. Keep up your prestigous work!

[spike91000]

Good taste in music as well

[pianolover1004]

Rachel, this is really beautiful. I really enjoyed it.

You are so great young pianist.

[FFRPianist]

[katherinealexis1]

[RattingUP]

Rachel i can see the colors of this composition with help of your playing

[chopinliszt2001]

After watching your performance,I think many pianists should be shamed.

How can you play such a skillful piece at this age?

Marvolous!Brova!

[basgirls]

who is your teacher? and at what age you started?

Iwish my daughter would practice more.

[Classical8Finatic]

I love the middle part at like 2:25 or so

[UMIPIANO]

It's so beautiful. Lovely performance!

[veryhappyeva]

The loveliest video on the entire youtube.

I love your playing, Rachel!

[Caecarulf]

[crushroller]

[tommy9882]

[jackofan91]

Her playing makes me wanna cry!

[fairskyze]

[ganymed45]

[sellerofdreams]

I'm learning this piece now because Rachel's beautiful playing made me fall in love with this piece. She is simply amazing. I can't even count how many times I've watched this. It blows me away every time :)

btw, has anyone heard Benjamin Grosvenor's interpretation of this? watch?v=3FJeOaRjZaE (2nd half of video) He also plays it quite well

[lilly763]

Wonderfully graceful playing! One of my favorite performances of this piece.

[iooi123]

WOW. How beautiful you made it.

[italco312]

A very mature performance. Sensitive, emotional and powerful.  I loved it.

[argerich68]

You are an incredible and great talent. This piece is wonderful!!

[argerich68]

You are a grat talent!!

[11261K]

Very skilful! Very nice to listen to

[Aul1kki]

This is better than evgeny kissin's version. Better sound and also more cantabile melody.

[iddriven]

wow.

[Rexicano]

She has the magic touch.

[shalleybaby]
