A rare jewel in the world of classical pianists. Truly beautiful.

Like it. The sound of the piano and her voice is very comfortable. Hope her grandmother can hear it too. Alice Sara Ott

"Chopin Complete Waltzes" is an amazing, breathtakingly beautiful album

It explodes in me. The piano is probably only a small part of their infinite depth of feeling. I love her.

Alice, she is the BEST, about everythings...🌹

All is Light. Listening in silence is an eternal gift. Thank you for expressing who you are also.

One of the most talented pianists now! The last waltz you played in this video, the Waltz in A is one of the most beautiful piece ever written! So simple, but so wonderful!

To 705RC and Bloodgrss... I only in the last few days have stumbled upon Miss Ott in the KZfaq world and I think for once we all agree that she is a very fine pianist and musician.

Her interpretation of Chopin is sublime. It was worth the effort to track down a copy of her work on Compact Disc for the superior sound quality over an iTunes download.

One of the best interpretation of Chopin ive heard

alice sara ott everything is beautiful

Alice has always been a wonderful sensitive artist with a high caliber of technique. She's fortunate that DG decided to pick her up because the classical music world is awash in brilliant artists, and having THE premiere classical music record co. behind her puts her right up there with the likes of Helene, Yuja and Maria Joao. Which isn't to say she doesn't deserve to be...she does. And we are fortunate because, being ASO fans we benefit from her having the most powerful label in the world backing her. __J Joe (also a composer of a Piano Concerto No 2 in C Minor)

The Polish people should be very proud to have such a great patriotic CITIZEN - Chopin !!! Let's all pray and thank Chopin for creating such piece of beautiful music.

Ms.Ott is also a great scholar having plus sharing her intellect / insight into the artists she plays so masterfully.Thank You Ms,Ott. ///////Bravo !!!

music is not a contest....it's a matter of feelings

The soundtrack to my morning commute lately.

@BytomGirl Thank you for sharing your wonderful thought and beautiful music.

Very smooth and moving interpretation.

Perfect. Amazing. Wonderful. I love her.

Very wonderful piano playing!!!!!*****♪♪♪♪♪♪ I love it! Thank you!

even though she's half-Japanese, she speaks English with a perfect German Akkkzent! What could be more lovely than this!

Loved this.......:)

Alice S. Ott nos recuerda que todos somos parte de la historia humana.

Fascinantemente hermosa..

most beautiful woman alive!

I heard a phenomenal live performance on KBAQ of Pictures at an Exhibition. Most passionate and thrilling.

Exactly!

*Wonderful ♪ ♩ ♫ A big round of applause* ( :

These waltzes are as perfect as music ever can be. I'm waiting and hoping for the Preludes and the Etudes. This is how Chopin played, according to his contemporaries.

To see her in denim playing piano in that industrial setting reminds me of Jack Nicholson in FIVE EASY PIECES.

Amb tanta delicadesa! So empfindlich!

Je pourrais l'écouter toute la journée et la regarder aussi

I listen Alice's Piano Sound, It is so wonderful sound. I feel her Japanese sensitivity, and She wants the truth of freedom to play the piano.

From the age of twelve, she studied at the Salzburg Mozarteum with Karl-Heinz Kämmerling [1] while continuing her school education in Munich. Ott has won awards at a number of piano competitions, including first prize at the 2004 Pianello Val Tidone Competition. She has made recordings of Franz Liszt's Transcendental Etudes and Frédéric Chopin's waltzes for Deutsche Grammophon, and is currently performing concert tours in Europe, Japan, and the United States.

Su madre, japonesa, estudió piano en Tokio y su padre, alemán, era ingeniero civil.2 A la edad de tres años, luego de haber asistido a un concierto, decidió que quería convertirse en pianista. Dijo que "la música es el lenguaje que va más allá que cualquier palabra" y que quería comunicarse y expresarse a través de la música.3 Comenzó las clases de piano cuando tenía cuatro años y a los cinco ya llegó a la final del concurso para jóvenes pianistas de Múnich a la edad de 5 años, en el que tocó en la Sala Hercules, abarrotada de público.3 Desde los 12 años estudió en el Mozarteum de Salzburgo con Karl-Heinz Kämmerling 1 mientras continuaba su educación primaria en una escuela de Múnich. Ha ganado varios premios en numerosas competencias de piano, incluyendo el primer premio del año 2004 en la competencia Pianello Val Tidone. Ha hecho grabaciones de los Estudios trascendentales de Franz Liszt y de los valses de Frédéric Chopin para la Deutsche Grammophon. Actualmente está dando conciertos en giras por Europa, Japón y los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica. Su hermana menor, Mona Asuka Ott, también es pianista. Ott ha ganado muchas competencias internacionales desde la Jugend musiziert en Alemania, cuando tenía 7 años.4 En el 2002 fue la finalista más joven de la Hamamatsu International Piano Competition de Japón, donde ganó el premio a la Artista Más Prometedora.1 Ganó el primer premio en la Competencia Bach del año 2003, en Köthen, Alemania, la competencia Pianello Val Tidone del 2004, en Italia,4 y la cuarta edición de la competencia internacional EPTA (European Piano Teachers Association) en el 2005.

wonderfull

Does anyone know the title of the piece that she played for her grandmother through the phone? Because I cant find the sheet music. Thank You

It would be a pleasure to see you Sara make a collaboration with Nigel Kennedy ❤️❤️

She answers that very question is at 4:36.

@BytomGirl She's talking about the second one i think. She said: "Waltz opus 34 no.2"

@BytomGirl This track IS included on the Waltz CD, however.

@toorn2 I didn't say there aren't supreme pianists nowadays, I only meant that Lipatti's version is sublime. Maybe you didn't read my message "entirely" ;)

She makes that slight A minor posthumous waltz into a mini-masterpiece!

Lipatti was the greatest. Such a pity those recordings taken from Vinil records have not the accuracy of the nowadays CD-s...this is a loss for all great pianists from the first half of 20-th century..

@BytomGirl Indeed. A piece of nice music can sharpen up my brain & activate my deep emotion for life.

a bit of a cheesy publicity stunt in this vid - but i've no doubt she's sincere in her thoughts on Chopin - and she plays his music just beautifully

"whats your favorite Chopin piece? "mmm, the last one i played/heard"

@renatoaranha I totally agree with you.

Do you know "OMD": Only Music in the Dark.

@renatoaranha not only chopins of lipatti, also Scarlatti's he was amazing. don't forget the new artists benefit the quality recording which he didn't had the chance to benefit as well .

Could somebody please let me know what's the theme at the beginning of the documentary? Thanks

Que hago con éste amor que me quedo¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

es un piano y un video muy sentido y calido

Bravo Sara...Sayonara :)

what about cortot..?? let's be honest, he teached lipatti his secrets.. ;-) of course both probably the greatest pianist of the last century

愛麗絲薩拉.奧特 演奏蕭邦的完整的圓舞曲

@renatoaranha dino lipatti? listened once and never bothered again

Even with great pianists and great recordings I think that none of them will ever beat Lipatti's version of the Waltzes...

The shipyard has better acoustics than Carnegie Hall.

... cierra los ojos, y ... sueña ...

orchestra manoeuvre in the dark

It is very sad to know that this wonderful person’s days are numbered...😢😢😢😩☹️☹️☹️

Es gibt nicht die Stelle, die sie unter dem Kran des Hafens wurde.Es ist die Halle des Palastes.

True...but this is what they give us today. They take a pianist, they make overwhelming publicity to his (her) name, they get their money back and then this is what we get...no art, just notes...

tag fur elise love frank

2'54" God speaks.

Well, thank God Lang Lang is here to play real music. Of course, he does no longer record for Deutsche Grammophon, which is a joke.

Guf for øregangene!

Alice Sara Ott yes Casatorio Civil Arthur Giorgio yes 28 Sept. Berlín Alemania - Alice Sara Ott good morning wonderful Thank you lovely yes l How l Love you Kisses Berlinale Germany yes Columbia

What are you smokin' Hubert? My comment was in counter to an insulting troll of this fine young pianist-not a critique of her... You need to read and ponder more carefully if you want to engage yourself in old quarrels-and not let your attraction for a young artist cloud your judgement of reality...

▪ p r e t e n t i o u s ▪ m u c h ?

o m g she`s hot!!!!!

"...empty , uninteresting and snobbish interpretations" . I knew it...you DO read your own posts ! :-}

Oh my god , please don't speak about Lipatti ! Please do not torture us with what were all ultimate and absolute versions ! And let us enjoy all these empty , uninteresting and snobbish interpretations of today .
