I'm impressed more with the seemingly emotional depth of this young pianist than with his technical ability. I've seen many young pianists play challenging works to great applause, but unfortunately they sounded like a robot was performing, with none of the emotional depth needed - and this is where the real artistry comes through. I'd rather put up with a few mistakes if I was moved by the performance than something technically perfect, but sounded "dead". That's not art. Bravo George!!
The Great Vladimir Horowitz is my favorite pianist of all times. I see George as being the next Vladimir . At such a young age, I feel his passion and dedication .............Love you George!
always great to see young concerto's perform. Remember a time when this was great and high honors of all in entertainment. Wish more young people would seek more into this classic art. Emotions, the expression of life and deep richness of sole is so much apart of this .Wonder if people realize this is oldest style music in history that is still alive and around today.
If so is.The music for me is everything in life, thanks for the video you have a great talent for playing the piano my friend.I can only read the notes but I can not play the piano like you.I would have liked to play the piano but only learned to read notes.
tres joli j aime beaucoup tres belle creation j adore le piano et ton interpretation love merci beaucoup tres tres beaux partage ..10000000**************** love votre amie Karine Merci a vous ..
oh, how i love to see those little hands play that piano. what a talent at such young age. mom and dad, i know you must be so very proud of him.it does my heart good just to watch and listen to him.just watching him fills my heart with joy. thank you for sharing him on you tube. god bless you, margie
....è solo un bambino ed ha tanto talento.... ma ha già anche la preparazione, l' energia, la professionalità, l' arte, l' espressione e la bravura di un grande pianista.....
...io mi inchino innanzi alla sua profonda e forte volontà , al suo spirito di sacrificio e innanzi al suo spontaneo Vero Talento.
TY for the link. I honestly can't believe this is from a kid. It's amazing. He has a music gift that is hard to comprehense - It goes well beyond his years.
Looking forward to hear what he writes when he is older.
poor kid!.. He is great! But still I do sorry for him!...Please don't understand me wrong...but maybe one day you will understand why!... :(....But he is fantastic now,hat's true!! Still bravo!..
What I meant to say: the Cliburn contestants were wonderful but George is in another realm so it's no putdown to them to say he outshines all the Cliburn players. It's in his blood, bones, soul, spirit, hands and heart. And we're the lucky ones to be alive to see him perform.
jennywages: I have listened to a number of interpretations of this particular concerto over the years. Not only is George very musical in his delivery, but he maintains a speed that that is unequaled. He has that super-human technique on the order of Martha Argerich or Cziffra. I think he possesses the material of which legends are made.
I want to call him AMADEUS, because surely -- like Mozart, himself -- this young man has been singularly blest by God.
I can't imagine his getting any BETTER, but we should all hope he continues to grow a great deal OLDER, so that we may enjoy his abundant gifts for a long time to come.
The sheer BEAUTY of this playing impresses more than the extreme youth and technical facility. It's so warm and fully human.
A wonderful influence in the world for all who have ears to hear.
I keep coming back to this performance of the Saint-Saens concerto, as it is a real well-spring of what's possible in terms of both technique and depth of feeling. The key to George's playing can be found here, and a more than subtle hint of what he will be in the years to come. This is truly world-class playing on every level, and it takes the breath away.
Bravo to the cameraman, I wish all videos where recorded in that quality!!...., watching George's hands going over the keyboard is fantastic, and is expression beautiful!....:)
I never get tired watching theses videos of you playing,
and to "klauzal", mastering technics is not the only thing, gaining experience playing with an orchestra is a must, also one's fear of playing in front of an audience need to be tamed, and what is better doing it when you are young, it is not exploitation, it's never to early I think?
I went to Miami to watch him play "Mendelssohn Piano Concerto #1" that was great, loved it:).....
Amazing performance. Thank you for sharing. And congratulations to the parents for raising such a talent. I have no doubt young George will be one of the most outstanding pianist of the 21st century.
This video with one of the most beautiful romantic piano concerts and with George as one of the most talented players give me a lot of hope.
I it is nice to see and hear children who do something other and more intelligent than playing with their cell phones, etc. like most of them in my home country Germany do - the reason why more young talents in the moment come from Asia, the US and South America (and not from the old countries of music in Europe)
Thank you. You make me like Mendelsohn and you deepen my attachment to classical music. I was not completely focused at the beginning of watching your video but you made me "sit"!
I said I was going to come back and hear your Saint-Saens 2 again. I consider this to be your "Signature" Concerto. OK we know it's a famous piece already and has been played by 100 pianists, but you are personally making this music even more famous! And deservedly so. Saint-Saens owes you big time! I might buy you dinner on his behalf some time as he is no longer able to do this! Saint-Saens wanted to be known as "The French Beethoven". I want to be known as "The Creative Explosion"!
Outstanding performance, George! What a wonderful gift to hear you play! You are truly a fine musician and, I'll bet, a terrific person! Thank you for all of your beautiful videos.
Played with authority like a true master - congratulations. Thanks for the invitation too! (P.s. do get plenty of exercise, I'd hate to see you get fat!)
A brilliant and emotional performance from a person who is not only talented, but realizes the importance of music in life itself. He has technique, but his biggest asset is simply his emotion and style in depicting and painting the piece through his musical soul. Thus is music, not to be played precisly by its sheet music, but rather using the notes as a guideline to your emotion and the thoughts of the composer. Remember, that makes a difference between a good musician and a great musician.
1:09 - 1:36 Oh my God.....thats all I can say. Absolutely gorgeous.....
