Elisso Virsaladze plays Schumann's Kreisleriana op. 16, mvt 1 Äusserst bewegt

[daredash2005]

I am melting listening to this. 

[achoacho46]

how can someone press dislike. that was schumann should be played: less personal, less perfunctorily, more philosophic, more rational and more divine. exactly such impeccable he is in Telavi every year georgian enormouse festival

[lizakopelman]

i have a great deal of respect for Elisso Virsaladze and her interpretations of every piece she plays. Even tough i might not entirely agree with everything, she is always very convincing

[garfreed]

I can't past the fact that Schumann wrote the entire Kreisleriana in four days. Wow!!

@dickensdinner

Mr. Marco Cerutti, how it can be good for you if you like only one pianist- Giorgi Latsabidze - your client probably...

[dickensdinner]

awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so fast... nothing heard... all texture of 16th is lost...and who said that the middle part has to be in different tempo? Oh yea, it's Virsaladze's interpretation...who cares about Schumann's ideas..))

[truecrypt]

@dickensdinner

Mr. Marco Cerutti, do you continue to spam everywhere? Isn't it enough you shamelessly promote Giorgi Latsabidze? Do you have to post this garbage about Eliso Virsaladze? Poor Giorgi - he doesn't know who his promoter is...

[zurriussII]

It's a pleasure that Medici.TV has her recordings

[petezilla]

not that I don't love Horowitz's "not too fast" rendition, but I love the sheer exhilaration of this one

[vivienmerchant]

This is so wonderful. I don't think there is another pianist more in tune with Schumann working today (and that is saying a lot!). I first heard her in Frankfurt in 1988 in a magisterial performance of Chopin op 10 and Schumann Kinderszenen. What was even more special was the encore: the Romanze second movement of the Mozart Bb sonata Kv281 -complete simplicity, marvellous control of tone and great taste.

If you get the chance to hear this pianist live, grab the opportunity.

[ilovescarlatti]

Intrepretazione sublime. una delle piu belle secondo me.

[ilovescarlatti]

OMG!! SCHUMANN SCHUMANN SCHUMANN.. ILOVE HIM A LOT. Fantastic piece

[vivienmerchant]

Incomparable indeed. This is one of the greatest pianists alive and in Schumann she has everything: technique, passion, subtlety, taste....why can't we hear more of her?

[SFINQS110]

W U N D E R B A R !!!

[JoschuaFiedler]

i am also german!!!!

[egvztpwa]

yes this too fast...i am german and äußerst bewegt means not to rush through the notes.

[dickensdinner]

@egvztpwa Absolutely agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JoschuaFiedler]

it is perfect! the titel is "äußerst bewegt" that means very fast!!! :-)

[Grigor99]

Too fast!

[modlicht]

Performed in a virtuo manner! One of the greatest georgian celebrated musician alive!

Bravo kalbatono Virsaladze!

[Tsotne16]

If I could rate her with 6 or 7 or even more stars, it would be great, but there're only five :(

[normanchiche]

tellement trop rapide ... je n'aime pas du tout !!

[dallaspianophile]

She is a magnificent pianist and I love her playing usually ... but this is way too rushed for my taste.

[NickjamesC]

I agree

[seremerow]

Virsaladze的琴聲層次感相當豐富！

在音很多的情況下，更是明顯展現。

彷彿聲音層層相互包裹著~

有時紮實有時寬鬆~

變幻令人驚艷!!

[MedeaBerianidze]

didebuli pianistka! brckinvalea!

[davit1982]

She's AMAZING!

[marcohorowitz8]

great! it should be played in a delirious, feverish way, and that's exactly what she does. I would like to see her HANDS as well as her face, though!!

[dmcII]

I love this woman's playing but good grief, what is the rush on this one ? Take a breath !

[marcohorowitz8]

you thumbs downers realize that the 'faster! Faster!' comments are sarcastic??

[ilovescarlatti]

mi piace questa febbre interpretativa.. quasi un delirio.... Sogno e allucinazione ... Schumann era così? Non so... comunque lo amo alla follia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BrunoMastro]

se ti vai a leggere i racconti di E.T.A. Hoffmann: "Kreisleriana (dolori musicali del direttore d'orchestra Giovanni Kreisler)" che Schumann adorava e da cui a preso ispirazione appunto per i suoi Kreisleriana... la domanda non te la poni più....

[Tamaziko]

seccus WHO ARE YOU TO CRITICISE HER?????WHAT CAN YOU EVER DO? AND BEFORE YOU SAY FUF ABOUT SOMEONE, LOOK IN MIRROR!!!!

[Glissan]

nooooooooooooooooooooo :-(

[kempff95]

GOOD

[XEA6L]

OK, seriously, when a pianist is playing, it is impolite to pan the piano constantly, and not focus on the hands....well played!

[zurzica51]

OMG!!! :O

[Ellinidara]

Awesome work,she's one of the biggest interpreter.

[incasmaya]

Posso sentire tutto il vuoto che c'è dentro lei..

[ClassicalMusicReview]

If this is 'Schumanian',then Schumann was first and foremostly interested in typewriting as a raison d'etre.

[Isoracastilla]

I think you are right.

[Seccus08]

Faster!Faster!!Its not fast enough.! FUF!!!!!!

[chad410]

one of the best!

[GeorgeMaxwellDuPre]

I don't fancy this too much: too fast! But the gentle section is well done. Bive me Biss or Pollini here.

[abmsghost]

Faster!Faster!!Its not fast enough.!

[superbemaison]

Very goog!!

I heard her playing Brahms piano concerto no°1 op15...Terrific!!!

[ptichkagulnara]

SIE IST GENIALLLL....

[Cherubino91]

Amazing!!

She seems to cherish every second of what she's playing...

[ruslanswara]

Standing ovation Virsaladze !!!

[BrentAudi]

Fantastic!
