Alice Sara Ott Liszt La Campanella

[rachm06]

One of my favourite recordings of this etude, even if she doesn't respect entirely what liszt wrote (for example holding the main theme notes with the thumb in the variation starting at 3:06 ..probably due to small hands)

[Kitof62]

J'en ai des frissons et je ne m'en lasse pas.

[acousticguitarfan]

Outstanding! Brilliant!

[slpianoproject]

You are so precise, its incredible. Wonderful playing.

[granolagirl1153086]

im about 1000000000000000 times slower than her.... 

[alexandros789]

[rockybrazil1]

@alexandros789 Davvero carina!

[95Lolloso95]

[GabryLoveRock]

[jackboxeur92]

mi sono innamorato!!!! Davvero complimenti!!!!

[Mjmikol]

Just want to share that i find this kind of piano work is REALLY GREAT art

[stebianchivideo]

She's a flower playing wind through its petals. Beautiful hands, donating me so wide emotions. Thank you Alice.

[Uzzyuz]

absolute.

[anonymousQ45]

accelerando 3:00 

[anonymousQ45]

she is genius and beautiful all negative comments are pure jealousy from either ugly or mediocre bitter pianists, or music critics hahaa.

[antoonmeert]

Alice Sara Ott speelt met haar Steinway zoals de wind met het riet speelt.

In één woord : schitterend !

antoon

[erato67]

A perfect and well-balanced brain !!!

[pianoxpert]

fantastic playing. she has it all: virtuosity, sensitivity, excellent interpretation.

[kiwipuppy6]

Cziffra rules on this and he shows how it should be played, faster tempo and perfectly clean.  She's nice pianist. Disappointing that she played it slow, clarity and tone are not good, and she didn't finish well - but this is live.

[trople]

Dear Alice,

I envy your accuracy.

Love, me.

[adjani8]

Merci pour une performance très splendide☆

[aliciawamozart]

a perfect performance . i love how she plays

[Beanioski]

For the easy parts at the beginning she did well. Too bad her ending let her down.

[lb88ful]

@Beanioski What you tlaking about!? It's brilliant!

[piano0b]

@Beanioski as long as u can play it better

[LadyElisabethx]

è bravissima!!!!!

[Whattimeisitnow100]

@OpticFalcon lol it's japanese not korean

[tanya0808088]

she is awesome. bravo!!!! 

[AsterInExcelsis]

30 people doesn't have both ears & heart.

[ajhendrick]

An extremely impressive performance and interpretation. The delicacy of approach belies its ferocious complexity (I hate those repetitive high-speed jumps - so hard to keep them accurate and even). Playing hard things loud is MUCH easier than playing hard things with constant jumps very softly and delicately. And just when you wonder whether she has power as well, she hits the final variation and shows you that yes, she has power too. Outstanding.

[missiegoodie]

can't believe there are 'dislikes'!!

Alice sara ott is AWESOME!

[redsmokee]

液晶モニタじゃ指が見えんな。

すげぇ

[OpticFalcon]

@redsmokee She's German not Korean. LOL

[FoxFan1021]

Saw her live. She played really flawlessly.

[rhcpgirl7]

Not a very sentimental person but not only is she a perfect piano player, the true ability of a musician is shown in the ability to convey what one is playing instead of merely performing mechanically..she's amazing and you can feel her passion through the screen. <3

[tutusia]

for me the best version is the Adam Gyorgy's one ... MAGIC is what he plays, everything is so smooth and admirably beautiful ♥♥♥ I LOVE HIM ♥♥♥

[Widiar]

Awesome..

[josephbier]

I love it !  Thank you so much.

[gloupsbloups]

C'est trop impressionnant!! La dextérité.. En plus, elle ferme les yeux desfois.. C'est Mozart n°2! Incroyable..

[OX16EN]

this is very good version but for me the best one is the one played by Valentina L

[OX16EN]

this is very good version but I for me the best one is the one played by Valentina L

[thegreenbeast]

STOP FEEDING THE TROLLS

[FoxFan1021]

@thegreenbeast What?

[cakkola]

O.o mg

[SogniAzzurri]

I have just seen her playing it live yesterday evening and I simply adored. But it was more dynamic and especially more joyous than this version. A very interesting young artist. Thank you very much for posting.

[schmitty135]

Not the best interpretation. My neighbor's kid plays this way better.

[Hailstormand]

@schmitty135 Yeah. He plays it where the sun never shines on you. That's why you keep on mentioning this neighbour kid so much. He played you, schmitty. He played you. A LOT.

Does he play Appassionata the way you liked it too, schmitty? He played it deep and hard? LOL

You're just bitted because you're a lonely, repressed little thing. Pretty much like a dead cockroach under a long-forgotten book that people notices when you start to stink.

[schmitty135]

@schmitty135 You're such a tard fool. LOL You still valet parking sausages in your mouth? LOL. You're just another botched abortion.

[Hailstormand]

@schmitty135 Wow. Here's a real retard: he's responding to himself! Call security! There's a bipolar user!

[schmitty135]

@Hailstormand YOU'RE the bi-polar assclown.  The sun NEVER shines on you since you live under a rock. LOL. You're such an imbecile. Go back to your little kiddie piano pieces like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" how I wonder why you're a tard. Hahahahahahahaha fool.

[kubirauntain]

moved!

[Aul1kki]

It's always fascinating to wonder how they do it isn't it? Like how many hours they have used from their lives to achieve this? What they have been thinking while progressing through various pieces?

[doudemo1]

BRAVOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[doudemo1]

EXCELLENT AND BEAUTIFUL.

[RubyDeWitt]

Nothing special. To me the best rendition of La Campanella is by Kemal Gekic. I find Ott's interpretations, of most things I heard from her, stiff and boring. She doesn't have that something in my opinion.

[Uzzyuz]

@RubyDeWitt Your opinion must be respected but, please, next time, don't say: "Nothing special." It's not true.

[Cheeto717]

not my favorite but i definitely enjoy listening to her performances

[MrJRHill60]

That's what's up right there that's my favorite song am determined 2 learn that i know some of it thou.. but it look like u got a real passion 4 the piano u can c when u play it.. also seem surprise like ur playing that song lol... but Great Job u gotta teach me the rest ur fingers r pretty fast..

[lisilisin]

If you want to hear another great Campanella: "La Campanella" played by ALICIA DE LARROCHA. I trully recomend it!!!! Most of the people doesn't know she played it. You can find it in You Tube.

[chrism216]

this is an absolutely ASTOUNDING performance. crystal clear all the way through it. absolutely marvelous. a little lacking of volume at the segment entering the cadenza is the only possible critic i can think of.

[crobc1]

Holy $#i@!

[beyongthepale]

Absolutely superb.

[WestWindBlowing]

Alice Wonderland

[HiRoTuBeCa]

Go Alice!

[eXcalibooor]

Thumbs up for Titel Thesen Temperamente

[sexybeast619619619]

WOW!

[careyeOhkey]

I don't know why there is even one "dislike" - will even ONE of the 26 tell me why you dislike this video?

Jealous perhaps? =)

[fastben2010]

c'est très bien quelle technique finement ciselée en plus elle est trop belle vrai !! papa allemand et mamn japonaise je crois!!

[amarulaqueen1]

Having listened to Alice, Kissing and Yundi I think she's the only one that makes this piece of music look like an absolute pleasure to play and listen to. Both other pianists all though also excellent, makes you aware of the technical challenges of this piece. She's displayed wonderful nuances.

[TheBollingerDrinker]

Her play impressed me deeply.

I listened to she playing this La Campanella as an encore at the concert hall in Kyoto. I love it.

[misstrilly1]

O__O beautiful!!!!!!!!

[Arwen4296]

O.O amazing

[TheGebs24]

IN LOVE!!!

[VietFiddle]

She play beautifully. She is beauty. Her dress need to be beauty.

[legamature]

She rates the highest score of piano skills plus beauty.

[filoclito]

Always good! Like in the concert at Università Bocconi!

[OneShotSniper911]

Wow!!!!! I saw about 30 different interpretations and videos for La Campanella and this video was one of the best. I would say Yundi Li or Kissin is the best 10min ago. But now, I say she is the best. She has very clean sound 0:40-1:00 which is really hard part.(Even Yundi Li misses a key in his famous concert video) She also has very clear and no-miss sound throughout the video. I love it !!!

[mayankiscool]

@OneShotSniper911 Her ending is a bit slow for my liking (not that I can play it... Yet.) but very nice and Yundi Li added keys in as well mind you, he didn't play the sheet music.

[kesayo]

Personally, I like how she seems to play with so little effort. People who are saying it makes her look emotionless, whatever. The people like Kissin who play like they're having a seizure look like they need to put too much effort in playing. Frankly, they look kind of ridiculous. She just floats her hands around the keys and the same brilliant music comes out.

[physphilmusic]

@kesayo No emotion? Look at how she smiles beautifully at 0:54...no other pianist I have seen has done that, yet that's an entirely natural and appropriate reaction to the music...It's called "The Little Bell" for a reason! Stretching yourself too much here is completely ridiculous...

[MrEdmedico]

A sheer delight! Both musically and artistically impeccable performance. She is one of the great young talents on the international piano scene. We look forward to her future performances and recordings.

[guitarDouchebaggery]

Super awesome version, very precise

[000MP123]

SHE... IS... A... MACHINE!

[i0wnDaWorld]

i think she's (a lil bit) like a robot

[hotbebimauz]

in my opinion shes so fake, her technic is good but i never feel anything when she plays, and im wondering if she ever can feel music. everything seems rehearsed and the music isnt real.. also, as a person, shes charmless, in interviews she seems to be stuck up, sorry but for me this isnt a musician..

[ostrorawr]

@hotbebimauz

Er... English obviously isn't her first language. Try listening to her interviews in German.

[hotbebimauz]

@ostrorawr yes, but im german and ive many interviews of her in german and english..

[hotbebimauz]

@ostrorawr yes, but im german and ive seen many interviews of her in german and english..

[TheGebs24]

@hotbebimauz You're a twat!!

[OneShotSniper911]

@hotbebimauz do you mean that she is so perfect?

[bludrugo29]

LIstz aveva una mano enorme....quando lo suonano le donne si nota la difficolta'.

[luisinholeon7]

haha shes playing on the black keys, i did that when i was in elementary school

[chieh1980]

very very impressive interpretation. never thought of this way. cool.

[WaltzColors]

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!!

She's got so clear and enthusiastic sounds!

BRAVA!!

[luisekantable]

Egal was sie spielt. Alles klingt gleich. Sie hat kein Stilempfinden. Wo ist die Musik!!!

[Einstein2000]

jetzt aber nur kein Neid, hm?

Da gibts doch bedeutend Schlechtere und wenig Bessere. Und für ihr Alter ist das äußerst bemerkenswert.

[luisekantable]

Sie spielt einfach grauenvoll. Es ist ein geschmakloses und künstliches spiel. Mit manierierten rubati ohne Farben und gänzlich ohne Leidenschafft und Temperament.

[mihoakatsuki]

@luisekantable Sie schreiben ja immer das Selbe :'D

Meiner Meinung nach deuten viele wirres 'Tastenhauen' als Temperament, ich finde sie spielt sauber, das genügt doch, wenn Sie sie nicht ausstehen können, hören sie doch nicht hin, und verschwenden Sie Ihre wertvolle Zeit nicht mit etwas, das Sie überhaupt nicht mögen :)

[dunnkj]

i touched these hands tonight!! AMAZING! first performance in the U.S.

[jacoman1234567]

Awesome!

[ornleifs]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful - The music, the playing and the pianist.

[burellix]

Meravigliosa! what a virtuosa!

[hinomusic]

i'm ABSOLUTELY in love with her..

[koenarens]

there not that many mate ;)

[takhirviolinest]

She play very godd but there is no colors. She can make it better just technique is not music nust be colors.

[funfor1life]

There I agree again (Yundi Li is great, besides not only on that specific piece ;p)

She's Ott...well hot I guess

Excuse me the bad pond, I am a french speaker!

[MrPianoman300]

Awesome!!!

[emanuelapatti]

WOW!

[funfor1life]

I know that some puritans won't pass me this comment but anyway : I think it's BETTER than Kissin!

[crobc1]

@funfor1life It's way better. I have listened to Kissin, Ott, and Yundi Li. The latter two wipe Kissin away on this piece (though I have only this experience with Kissin, so I will reserve any further judgment). I'd even rather listen to a competent student such as yw1935.

[netjuzer]

@funfor1life

Definitely! I found so much passion and more feelings here than in his pompous performance! Even though her performance isn't perfect - it is more emotional and I believe closer to F. Liszt's Romantic interpretation of this Paganini's masterpiece.

[funfor1life]

@netjuzer I agree! And it also looks like those octaves at the end are a mere game for her..

[coolguy1671]

@funfor1life I absolutely agree. This is the very best rendition I ever heard. Not too fast, incredibly limpid, as it must be for a piece whose title means "the little bell". Alice Sara is an incredible virtuoso, but she always uses her astonishing technique for the music's sake, which is not the case for many others. By the way she often plays with her eyes shut, to better listen what she is playing...which shows she absolutely masters the technical difficulties...all that at 19 ! INCREDIBLE

[PCLK1]

@funfor1life

I agree with you

[PCLK1]

Sweet Heart, Alice Sara Ott. I love you. I appreciate you. I will support you !! You are the best one in my life.

[teccomin]

unique interpretation and some crazy technique :) I do want to hear her play some Chopin.

[phemt666]

She is really good :o

[EleonoraEisele]

das ist doch kein yamaha!!!!!!!!

[LegitCritic]

Great touch!

[pianofan86]

I love it!!!

[IpiuGaggiDiSorso]

i really love your touch and your interpretation..

you're a great talent.

[gante79]

superbo prodigio.

m

[asoidfvgi]

Brilliant!!!

But i actually prefer a steady tempo and she could save her energy more for the final climax

[jihadhamwi]

i lOve you..your piano touch is great what is it?yamaha?

[MajorOlly]

Magnificently played - one of the best interpretations I've ever heard.

[SuWoongH]

대단한데..

[aimaitakeshi]

スゴイ！指の動きが見えない！！
