Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 2

Dear Clair

Technically you are wonderful, no doubt.
But you must remember that speeding does not give you extra points. Your cadenza sounds to me more like noise than music. There are plenty of other recordings of this concerto on YouTube which are much more pleasant to the ear. (No one plays it faster than you). Try to relax while playing. You seem so tense.
You are gifted with heavenly technique. This is the first ingredient in making music. But technique by itself is not music.

it's funny to read these elitist pricks think they know shit about emotion or whatever when they can't actually see it just because the piece is played faster than usual.

oh Claire.. OMG :O GREAT!

this woman plays breathtaking! i've rarely heard so much expression in this cadenza. in my opinion she lets the piano sing in a very special way.

interpretación grandiosa de esta señorita. Por favor puede alguien poner los restantes movimientos?

I'd like to know who classicicon is--he or she should post more performances of this young woman. She is spectacular--simply spectacular! She will go very far--mark my words.

Overly compressed phrasing dilutes the grandeur. While there are large pauses in parts, others are compressed.

She misses the point of the music and plays it as if it's a technical exercise. This is disappointing since she's obviously a very accomplished performer technically.

i'll check her out. i've heard her play scarbo i think. it is not about how who plays Prok though. it's about wt he stands for as a composer. You need to remember that this is not Rachmaninoff's or Chopin's music.
