Bravi

Nice ass and decent playing

[AegisDurth]

I like Ashkenazy's better than Richer's and Stezhko's.

too pedal..

[jessethehobbit3791]

Stunning. This might be the sexiest thing I've ever seen.

[CLASSICALFAN100]

@jessethehobbit3791 Yep...at a young age Olga has discovered the "secret", the same as Paderewski did...that the average concert-goer doesn't give "two-tenths of a good G-D" (to quote e e cummings) about the music itself, but only about how compellingly it is presented. Truly, a more "visually attractive" performance I've yet to see...but is that the whole point? Compare this to Richter's plain, "bare bones" style, in playing this piece. Which do you prefer?

[NEFESHI]

She is cute, and play very good. I'd like phone her and date together.

[Matthewfawr]

I've played a number of the Preludes but these things are beyond me - Bravo indeed!

[bbvn1]

wow.

[Nojcsa07]

This is a really good interpretation!Congratulations­!

[rachm06]

bravissima come pianista e simpaticissima come persona!

[gjwhunt]

Damn she's amazing

[CLASSICALFAN100]

@gjwhunt Compared to whom? Richter? Rubinstein? Rach himself? Let's get real here...if you're actually talking about "really great classical EYE-CANDY" (like Paderewski was), then YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!! Otherwise, please compare this slow-paced, decorous, meticulous, "pretty" performance to Richter's plain, fast, bare-bones *hot-as-a-firecracker* performance!

[organtechnic23]

@CLASSICALFAN100 What are you talking about?! Speed doesn't mean anything; please, the piece isn't marked "presto", or haven't you even looked at the music to know what you're talking about? Besides, as a general rule, any instrumentalist shouldn't play in a way that overshadows the dynamics, which apparently you consider "decorous". Yes, Richter could play it fast, but it doesn't evoke any emotion to my ears. If I were a blind person, I'd take Stezhko any day (except for perhaps V. Ovchinnikov)
