  • Thank you, Sergei Rachmaninoff! Through your music, you have touched the hearts of millions of people, and given us a treasure of incalculable worth.

    Thank you, Lola! Through your performances here on YouTube, you have brought this wonderful music to life for thousands of people who would otherwise never have heard it. When I listen to you play, I feel like my soul is in your hands, and that it is very safe there.

  • Блестяще, Лола !

    И дух Рахманинова ...Звучит.

    Браво...

  • @debrucey I'd wipe the floor with her, if she'd let me!

  • Debrucey, you probably have friends that simply wipe the floor. I'll give you that. Maybe. She is awesome both to listen and to look at. Deal with it. Let people do what they do best. She'll play Rachmaninoff and you go back to wiping floors (with your friends!)

  • @StoneChords I wouldn't say it was an 'excellent' technique. I mean, she knows her way around the piano that much is clear, but I have friends that could wipe the floor with her.

  • @debrucey Exactly: people who know nothing of classical music are impressed by these showy, poser gestures which are obviously calculated for photogenic angle and for showing the mere "image" or pretense of emotion. She has excellent technique, but with her gimmicks (the ridiculous showboat orgasm finales, for example), she will also be a music clown for any serious listeners, until she gives those bad habits up and lets the music, and her otherwise fine artistry, speak for themselves.

  • Please, wear a Giant Wool Sweater Lady, I can't concentrate on the Music.

  • Beautiful! I play these songs for my 2 week old when I am feeding her!

  • Virtuosa with sex appeal. If she made a dvd where she plays naked, she could make a fortune.

  • This is passion, true passionate playing.

    Excellent, Lola.

  • Makes me both happy and sad to read that info, happy because you get your debut at Carnegie Hall, congratulations I knew you would make it you are very special and will go far with your music. The sad part is because I can't be there, no money and not even in the same country but it's the first time I really felt sad for missing out on something. I hope you have a wonderful time, I know how much you practiced for everything through life so you deserve the time you have now in the spotlight.

  • @Zircemerald I just say what i think about the video and the person in it. Is that forbidden?
