Marika Bournaki plays Glenn Gould piano

[1GGaddict]

Musée des civilisations d' Ottawa ... 2008 .

Nous étions présents à l' exposition Glenn Gould mais arrivés trop tard pour écouter Marika Bournaki .

Dommage !

Un talent à ne pas perdre de vue ....

[musicaorganum]

Bravo!

[Justme1635438]

extremely well played in my opinion

[aureliamusic]

Amazing  and she play with passion and his heart!

[trevjr]

Not bad, but I heard some pedal, and she does not connect the lines as Gould did. The rubatos were too extended for my taste and the playing seemed hard at times. But, for 16, she has a bright future.She also did not play the octave low E as Gould. It would be very easy to tell the difference between her and Gould.

[quinto34]

Great talent always awakes a lot of apreciation and hate.. It's always like that.

Kind of sad in a way..

[eloisacascio]

ma imita glenn gould o è la sua personalità???comunque secondo me sarebbe meglio che ognuno, invece di avere dei modelli, se ha un talento li creasse:non bisognerebbe rifarsi a modelli mitici, ma crearsi una propria personalità innovativa, e diventare noi stessi dei modelli per gli altri.chi ha il talento per fare il concertista si può permettere quesa originalità.trovate un modo nuovo di fare bach, queso ormai è passato da parecchio.

[eeClaytonification]

bravo!

lol, all the haters just jealous that she is a famous pianist playing on glenn gould's piano

[SirWWW]

Awesome!

[mjzz12345]

she IS Gould - OBSERVE!

[barismertpeker]

Too much staccato!.. It should be tenuto absolutely. Tempo is good but should be faster a little bit more. Dynamics can be more piano also specially in 2.10. Still good performance...

[goetzlungershausen]

BRAVO !

[kepler101]

this piano really isnt the same, the base is weaker and a bit dry. but her playing is good, am sure she doesnt really just copy gould's style, she is probably just playing like that for the event.

[silentplummet]

When faced with something beautiful, many individuals have nothing but ugly words to say.

Such is the human creature.

[leonapo]

she made it look easy!

[wdashwor]

Wow - marvelous performance. I would like to hear the whole suite. Does this kiddo have any recordings?

[PointyTail]

She just needs a shorter chair! LOL

[x5WiMgUrL333x]

that's my cousin, no joke. just around and i saw her video. i could never play like that.....

hi emmanuel.

[tabularasa66]

Dear mattandtrissy (comment below)

Judge lest thee be judged. Life is short and such a waste to spend our limited time criticizing others, when that same energy could be spent enriching your life and those around you.

[mattandtrissy]

99% JACKASS comments from you clowns. Most of you sound like the marginally talented and perpetually frustrated music students that you probably are...

[DanSandwich]

i thought he only used the yamaha for the 1982 recording of the goldberg variations?

[curatorsam]

The Yamaha used during performance was never touched by Gould, just kindly supplied for the exhibit opening.

[Matteo7419]

The most interesting fact is the possibility to hear once again the "voice" of the marvellous CD318. The less is to hear 4 minutes of the same staccato without any phrasing and musical ideas.

[aserb04]

What a great performance. This piece requires exceptional focus in addition to great technique. So what if she didn't play it like Gould did? I'd be less impressed if she just thoughtlessly tried to copy him. Her interpretation works well and it must have been a pleasure to play on that piano's "hair-trigger" action. Bravo Marika!

[Violonpourtoujours]

Bon, calmez-vous tout le monde!

Il ne s'agit pas de Gould, mais d'une jeune fille avec sa propre personnalité. c'est justement le point : elle n'a pas à jouer comme Gould.

Essayez-donc de jouer du Bach comme elle à 16 ans, vous pourrez critiquer ensuite. En ce qui concene le staccato, question de goût, Bach n'a jamais indiqué lui-même comment il le voulait, pas indiqué non plus dans les partitions!

Bravo Marika,

Nathalie

Montréal

[titighghghg]

shes young

shes nice

shes talented

but humble ?

[Lucito77]

Why people think that being 16yo it´s all it takes to be a talented musician?

IT IS NOT LIKE THE CIRCUS!!!

[starfalco]

bad posture, poor tone, too staccato...even harspichords arent that short... gould didn't even play it that way...

[littlegreymen]

she has the same posture as gould (no humming though)

[moooingcow]

Wow! I wish I could play that well.

[wnxg4nd4lf]

Not even close to what Gould played. What gould played was much more than this

non-legato bach... I'm not saying she is bad. Just that she isnt even close to him.

[absoftitanium]

Brian Levine, the curator of the Glenn Gould Foundation in Toronto, disagrees with you. She is appearing at Carnegie Hall under the Foundation's auspices at the end of this month. Try to see here there, maybe you will change your mind.

[flugelmaniac]

I'd rather listen to this young lady playing

so well than Glen Goulds pathetic humming along.........it doesn't matter how talented he was, it didn't excuse him doing that!

[starfalco]

gould was a master. this girl is not.

[starfalco]

i dont think its pathetic and i dont think he's an idiot. its his way of getting into the music. i think his music is great...he plays bach with interest and enthusiasm, other bach players make it seem boring...

but everyones entitled to their opinion.

[flugelmaniac]

I've just realised he had very serious psychological problems,so perhaps he deserves some kindness from the world on that account.

However, it still won't make me admire his habit of singing along with the piano whilst perfoming Bach in concert.......I would walk out of the concert and demand my money back!

[8scatterbrain8]

..probabilmente perché ha molto più che 16 anni e suona molto peggio di questa ragazza.

[8scatterbrain8]

chi dice che questa esibizione "fa schifo" è solo invidioso

[tabularasa66]

la posture de marika etait compare a glenn gould... comme une crevette. chacun a son facon!

[xkorinnex]

bien joué, la posture par contre, ca promet xD

[tabularasa66]

actually, marika has been attending juilliard already for about five years, in the pre-college program. she graduates from that program this year!

[SPYKEjj]

fa skifooooo!!! ma va sturia

[godaisan79]

mi spiegheresti il perchè? te ne sarei veramente grato!!!

[SPYKEjj]

vedi,,,si tratta ,,,secondo il mio personale parere,,in un esecuzione pulita lineare,ma niente id piu,assolutamente,non ci sono dinamiche sufficenti,i colori,i temi,il tocco,legato,meno legato,non si avverte,io la penso cosi,povero glenn,,ke lgi suonano il pianoforte,,,per me,,e da 7,in cons,,ne vedo tt i giorni,,,e pe rme e 7,nn di piu,devo fare un video io,e te lo postero,nl mentr ti do il video di una variazione goldberg,mia,,studiata in 3 gior,

[godaisan79]

dinamiche e colori ce ne sono a sufficienza!!! Non mi sarebbe dispiaciuto un po' di legato in più (soprattutto nella voce della mano destra) ma il tutto scorre piacevolmente con una certa coerenza e continuità... fa tutt'altro che schifo!!!!IMHO ovvio... io faccio schifo (se trovo il video in cui suono questo stesso preludio lo posto!!!!) eheh :D. Son curioso di ascoltare la tua lettura di questo preludio... buono studio e.... a presto!!!!!

[SPYKEjj]

niente di speciale per niente,,,devo mettere i video delgi esami di quinto ,,,dove i e molti la eseguiamo,,mis embra piatta lineare,,scolaresca,,,ma ke skerziamO!!!glen era glen,,non e degna di tokkarlo!!!!ke kazzo!

[godaisan79]

sai... ho come l'impressione che tu GlenN Gould non l'abbia mai ascoltato....

[godaisan79]

il commento era riferito non al video!!! Si trattava di una risposta ad un messaggio! Trovo che l'esucuzione di Marika sia affatto piatta. Tutt'altro... piena di idee interessanti che lascian scivolare ben presto nel dimenticatoio un paio di imprecisioni! Ascolto piacevolissimo ed interessante!!!

[8scatterbrain8]

aspetto con ansia i tuoi video;) non mi deludere eh!

[steveie986]

My dream girl.

[clarabournaki]

hahahahahahaa

[113AMG]

Wow, played very nicely!

[vnsn72]

Che staccati ragazzi, questa ragazza ha talento

[p1ano]

Her posture is not my favorite, but her performance says otherwise.

[voolare]

Oh boy, the lady at the beginning says that it's in F minor! The sound of that piano is recognizable among thousands!Great performance, great technique, great endurance! I wish I could hear the left hand melodies coming out more and maybe some more legato. I hope she has good teachers.. BTW she looks fantastic, she is so talented and has my mother's name!!!

[amirmot]

dont worry about her teachers dude,she s gonna attend the juliard school of music;)

[voolare]

hm now I really start to worry!;-)

She should go to Europe, just like GG did!

[amirmot]

WHAT?1R U serious?!!!actually Im getting worrid now cuase GG(Gould)DIDNT GO TO EUROPE he stayed at toronto for his studies ,didnt u know that he was such a nourotic and hypocondriac that couldnt even stand living somewhere that he wasnt familier with,he was a control freak and he hated changes and that was one of the reason that he gave up performance at his early thirties!probably around 1964.

[voolare]

Yes, he did study in Toronto, but he also attended seminars in Salzburg under Joseph Horowitz, unless it was only fiction in Bernhard's book... Anyway, I think that it's always enriching for an artist to learn music where it was composed and played for more generations. In Europe and in Russia (must take some courses there).In any case.. "if they are roses,they will bloom"

[lipattihaskill]

Wait till Thaialnd releases their incredible potential.

[ningru]

YAY I LOVE MARIKA

[analogue76]

Bravo!

According to the Carnegie Hall website:

Marika Bournaki, Piano

Weill Recital Hall

Thursday, May 29, 2008 at 8 PM

(* not May 27th as stated in the "about this video" description)

I really enjoyed watching her play and I'm definitely going to buy tickets once Carnegie makes them available.

[MasterboySSBMgod]

hey guys i would like to say that this is my sister that i really am proud of her my name is Emmanuel Bournaki im of course her brother

most of the time she sends messages to us sayin that how difficult it is at New York sometimes...

she left Montreal to live at New York at the age of 13...

[113631]

Emmanuel,

After Marc-Andre Hamelin your sister appears to be the second pianowonder from Montreal. Very impressive for a 16 year old, just 4 more years and she should be fully ready to join the big leagues. Can't wait to hear her play Debussy's "Pour le piano" and "Jardins sous la pluie".

What did she think about the piano, its sound and its action? It was damaged in the late seventies and Gould himself stopped using it?

The Best.

B. Johnson.

[Arcticarc1]

hey dude, it's me Patrick,for the other people...i'm his friend at school

[curatorsam]

Hi, Emmanuel - I'm the Curator for that exhibit. Marika played beautifully on the Steinway and later on a tough little Yamaha grand during a truly gorgeous evening concert. It was an honour to have her take part, from my perspective. Congratulations on Carnegie Hall and so many other accomplishments.

[Ollie53]

Awesome.

I wouldn't be able to concentrate with all that flashing though....

[tabularasa66]

Incredible young and passionate pianist!
