Suite Española V: Asturias, Alicia de Larrocha

[susanpreston777]

It is because she is Spanish and she plays it with FEELING! When you are Spanish or part Spanish, music makes your blood sing, flamenco makes the person's blood boil...it is all about feeling. You see Asian people play things technically perfect but NO feeling. Chinese (typical for copying) invented digital instruments to eliminate dynamics. Asians will make faces and exaggerated gestures like Midori and Chang but feeling? None. Itzshak Perlman has feeling on the violin, not Midori.

One word: Perfect.

She plays it exactly as written on the partition. Every nuance, every accent, absolutely everything. just perfect.

The piece says "Allegro ma non troppo". Almost every video on Youtube show people playing this piece prestissimo ! Not that they play bad or anything, but it's just wrong...

Beautiful. Masterpiece.
