@Simonect92: Exactly my point. Soul is what I personally feel amiss in this performance. Somehow my impression is that she is trying to show off her acrobatic skill. I might be wrong, but it was a turn-down to me...
i agree with 'wagneristhebest' - congratulations to Alice Ott for her excelent technique and solide musicianship, but please! be loyal to your talent - go and learn a lot more about the depths of music before you become another pin-up girl of classic! or is the big money already your master? a performance not much more average than of a talented music student...
What a wonderful technique! And an enlightening presence! But there is a lack of magic here, a lack of musical ingenuity. A lack of the ability to turn my head and say 'wow I've never heard the Waldstein in that way.' I could listen to this performance and forget it, never moved like the way Barenboim plays it. A very average performance.
Good but far too fast. 25% slower and it would have been a masterpiece.

@IzumiJK i prefer music.. On music you can hear your soul (if you have one), while Olympic games are only made to entertain!

oh please... it is music... not the Olympic Games...

Well played, but for Beethoven, there should be more contrast.

Sounds more like Liszt than Beethoven.
