Antti Siirala's encore 22 nov 07

[pianist1313]

No wonder, this guy is so musical just like another competition winner. Isn’t it quite obvious that he is not a master of the art of pianoforte playing?

[erdmann99]

this is a subtle and restrained interpretation. kudos to the finn for giving us the music without the showmanship

[rufescens75]

Because they're Finnish?

[marcparella]

They're not pissed; they're bored. If you love Chopin there really is only master and that is Ivan Moravec. This young artist's playing is too sterile and unmoving. It sounds almost like a run through as if he is just practicing. There is no intensity to the playing. This prelude in the hands of a masterful interpretation can be exhilarating and deeply moving.

Enjoyed Anttis playing in Tampere this week. It was a wonderful concert.

Beautifully played. We need more videos of this wonderful young pianist in Youtube!
