  • Dang, it seems like he's not even looking at where the piano keys are.  :)

  • I'm sure that less than one per cent of Americans could have a conversation with somebody in the audience, but music is an international language :P

  • What amazes me the most about this performance, is to consider that this was 1958, the height of the Cold War. This young Texan goes to Moscow, and literally captures the hearts of the people. This is utterly fantastic. Forget the scoring, the techniques and abilities, this man bridged a gap as big as the ocean. It was unthinkable that an American could win a Tchaikovsky competition in the Soviet Union, and that is exactly what he did. Represents all that is great about America.

  • should be 6 billion hits

  • @RandogMan I;d say more like Bobby Kennedy.... he probably plays the piano better than anyone in that whole family, though xD.

  • does anyone else think Cliburn looks a little like j.f.k?

  • Though i've already commented and also got the DVD finally,

    i could watch this over and over again, soo beautiful, sensitive and filigree,

    wonderful and great performance!!

  • That was so touching, and Kirill's showmanship gave me goosebumps.Just wonderful.

  • I'm sure less than a quarter of the audience could have a conversation with Van Cliburn, but there is no language barier with music. People of all nationalities can appreisiate this.

  • @mountainmanchuck It was a very jazzy/bluesy addition. I liked it haha :)

    (But it also really surprised me -- it almost seemed intentional since it was so obvious and at such a slow part)
