This is olga playing in the international Van Cliburn Piano Competition. The first one I believe. She one first place along with a fellow italian pianist who played Tchaikovsky's first concerto. They both played beautifully. Do not comment if you do not know. This piece is known as one of the most technically demanding musical pieces and one of the most beautiful..

@XavierMacX yeah its true

@fevercovers Agree--Olga plays with the same "soul" that infused both Horowitz' and Rachmaninov's himself. As with those earler great Russians, her playing "breathes" in every measure, a secret she learned from studying them deeply. Great performance.

having listened to ashkenazy's version about one thousand times I cringed @ about the 8.15 mark because I had a feeling that she would be miss hitting a few times within the next 15 seconds or so & unfortunately for her she didn't let me down...quite noticeable enough that the conducter turned to look at her , maybe just to make sure it wasn't a cat running across the keyboard LOL

@mandyraeoflight727 Agreed.

beautiful

This is a difficult concerto, but there are other's that are more demanding. Prokofiev is not a composer to my likeing. He must have had a real bad hair day with a couple of his concerto's. This concerto be Rachminoff has style and beauty.

@cedricrlongreen No. Prokofiev 2 is.



Okay if people wana say this is not the most difficult piano concerto lets put it this way. It's the most difficult piano concerto that's actually pleasing to the ears.

@taclrc no, the person pointing out mistakes is the one who misses the whole point of the music and why we play it. That is something I would think the performer does get. I've seen Olga play live and she is fantastic, lil mistakes and all.
