"Pianist Alla Nikitskaya's playing is notable for consistently lovely tone, polished technique, and perceptive musicality. Her interpretations are thoughtfully conceived and well paced: she never slights detail but doesnt let it overwhelm the total picture. She can play with great passion—in the Schumann Fantasie, for example—and with dreamy or turbulent Impressionism, as in her Debussy group. The Rachmaninoff pieces are shaped with lyrical fluidity, and her Chopin and Liszt transmit romantic poetry or ardor as required." Fanfare Magazine.

From the album Romantic Interpretations / Chopin, Rachmaninov and others is this Clair de Lune (Moonlight) composed by Debussy.

Alla performed this piece with such an elegance that I wanted to do a video and she said yes.

While many of us have recently enjoyed Alla's comments and participation within our YouTube Community, not everyone has discovered that she is, in fact, a virtuouso pianist who can be seen in performance on her Channel.

Enjoy listening and watching Clair de Lune.

I feel very honored dear Andreas, that this one is also in your favorites!

Your videos to classical music are as excellent and artful as those to music in more popular style. Here is a great relation between music and pictures again. The playing of Alanikitskaya is thoroughly beautiful and her performance breathes wonderfully the dreamy atmosphere of Debussys piece.

[Truus1949]
