You just named the problem: you watching her.

@@RichardWagner-hi4zn ?

In addition to the soloist, the conductor and every one in the orchestra all put their efforts into learning and practice for many years. That's how much it takes to put out a performance like this.

Don't be silly - anyone can criticise another regardless of their 'qualifications'. Their criticism may not amount to much but they are entitled to express it just as you are entitled to respond.

agreed, these people are true artists, to compare, to critique, to denigrate those who stand up in front of the cameras and public to expose their talent, is in my view an insult. These are true passionate musicians; or better they weather the critique in the name of their passion. Maybe they are not the best in history, but they are following a passion. RESPECT please.

Well, I guess she'll do it just like I do when I learn the easy little scores I can play like the bad, pathetic amateur pianist that I am. That is: piece by piece, little by little 😅

@@frankisantana On the other hand, this is not what you learned as your main profession... I don't think Khatia would be able to teach geophysics or maths at the university tomorrow - we learn what we learn, and it is a kind of blessing that you can have such a nice hobby as an amateur piano player.

Nice hobby?? What is your profession these days?

Amateur?? Really? You need an English professor to guide you in your vocabulary.

Khatia is the ultimate gifted piano genius! Reverenced globally!

I honestly can’t help it. That is, I’m equally floored by all of the above.

Exactamente en que parte se ha equivocado, en que segundo y que nota debio tocar, puedes precisar?

Sorry, I can't avoid to be distracted by her beauty and sensuality 😅

Exactly where she made a mistake, in what second and what note she should have played, can you specify?🤔🤨

@@johntower2005 I'd have to listen again. 😁

Yes yes yes , you r right .every note is very clear ., i heard every note !!! special hands...

Yefim Bronfman played it furiously enough in the heavier passages, but from the one recording I heard, he wasn't gentle enough in the happier passages. I'd compare her more to Arcadi Volodos or Olga Kern here :)

I think the best execution is that of Grigory Sokolov.

@@gerardocoluccini1751 Несомненно. Я тоже так же считаю. Кстати и 2 Рахманинова концерт Григорий тоже играет блестяще, хотя он (2 концерт) и попроще. Но есть и молодые исполнители. Очень прилично этот концерт играет Даниил Трифонов.

nao esquecer de Vladimir Horowitz que interpretou com muita maturidade ,HOROWITZ REI ,A KATHIA PRINCESA

And to think that I have trouble making a decent cup of coffee

@@johnomeara4003 😅

And she makes it look so easy

Yeah, the important thing in ossia cadenza seems to be the feeling for when to play with fury and when to play it gently. Khatia nailed it.

Katia con poderosa sensibilidad nos traslada a la atmósfera mágica y sutil del romanticismo con con entrega tan maravillosa que nos traslada aquellos escenarios tan maravillosos Sus dedos se deslizan con un encantamiento increíble.se ve que un alma profundamente femenina. Que nos trae toda aquella fragancia romántica.que algún día venga a la Argentina y le leeré sus manos de una manera sutil en su estilo. Gracias inspirada

Thank you, we are glad you like this video so much!

I just cannot get my mind round how it is possible to conceive such an amazing piece but then, to have Khatia give it birth and bring to such maturity, would defeat any mind. I hope dear R can feel this feast of the senses.

Indeed. Where is the genius today to create such extensive, emotive, passionate masterpieces?

Rachmaninovs little sister perhaps.

We're glad you enjoyed it! 😊

Hate to burst your bubble, Bob, but all professional pianists who perform on stage, have the standard concerti under their fingers. Not knowing the score requires an explanation, typically. Scores are necessary for people playing work publicly for the first time, for concerti that are relatively rare, or some other circumstance. The movie would have you believe that David Helfgott was a savant. Performing pianists have practiced the standards since they were seven years old. And they may practice 6 hours a day. Horowitz was an exception: he hardly ever practiced. But for the most part, professional pianists, violinists, or whatever, know all their own standards, which Rach 3 is. Don't listen to me--look it up

@@nedcrouch3202 Thank You, Ned. I appreciate your thoughts and knowledge. I stumbled upon Ms Khatia several years ago, and have been a fan ever since. I admire her from afar and know only what has been written about her. She has a heart for the very young and very old. Anyway, back to her music ... she always reflects the emotion and intensity of whatever score she plays. I'm no expert in the field of music, however I've seen this young woman adding well deserved dignity to Ivry Gitlis in his declining years. She has a real good heart for others, and I like that.

Incredible musician

lol, that is how normal piano players are singing concertos for piano and orchestra,, she's not any different.. wake up, dude.

i noticed a shot or two of her clearly making sure she's seeing the conductor. thought much the same as you

Il est inutile que je fasse un commentaire qui serait le reflet du votre MERCI POUR VOS PAROLES ET VOTRE SAVOIR 🙏🙏🙏

Aaaa oo

You are suffering from confirmation bias.

Practice, practice and practice.

Para mim ouvir Kathia é como perceber anjos de outra esfera tamanha a perfeição e sensibilidade do seu toque. Efetivamente ,o piano é uma continuação de suas mãos. Gratidao Kathia e a todos que vibram e tocam com ela !!!

Not only Denis Matsuev. Nikolay Luganskiy, Daniil Trifonov... Because Rachmaninoff's music - is a part of our national, Russian, DNA code :)

THE GUARDIAN classical music Wigmore Hall, London Andrew Clements Thursday 2 April 2015 12.28 BST "The jury is out whether Buniatishvili can ever be a serious artist after a shapeless Pictures at an Exhibition and Liszt as a low - grade circus act." ... Her programme - Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition and a sequence of Liszt - was clearly designed for effect, and to have her fans on their feet and cheering at the end; predictably, they obliged. Pictures, though, had no shape at all, with the slower movements ponderously slow - Il Vecchio Castello was interminable - and faster ones lightning fast, so that they became trivialised, and Buniatishvili kicked up such a storm in The Hut on Fowl’s Legs that the dramatic effect of the segue into the final Great Gate of Kiev, one of the clinching moments in the whole work, was fatally undermined. That tendency to extremes - the thinking that ever faster, ever louder, is automatically the best way to go - ran through the Liszt pieces too. Three studies from different sets, La Leggierezza, Feux Follets and La Campanella, at least allowed everyone to admire the pearly evenness of Buniatishvili’s fingering, but apart from a rather unconvincing Liebesträume to begin, around them were pieces that encouraged her to be as noisy as possible: the first Mephisto Waltz (not insidious, just rowdy), the Grand Galop Chromatique (turned into a low-grade circus act) and the second Hungarian Rhapsody - played, of course, in Vladimir Horowitz’s version, which adds tweaks and further elaborations to Liszt’s original. The good news is that the piano survived it all intact; the bad is that on the question of whether Buniatishvili can ever be a serious artist, the jury is very much still out.

@@DWClassicalMusic It is a privalage and I love it. Im retired and just am dooing what ever I want this is what I spend my time on.

🥰

As a pianist, I can tell you that looking for patterns when first learning a piece is key. Patterns and long hours of practice help us retain the music in our heads.

Yeah, it’s like it becomes automatic. Actually, sometimes when I start overthinking, I get lost but if I Iet muscle memory do it’s thing, it just flows. Can’t say I’ve played anything that complex though.

@@georgescancan7503 Sorry there George but I simply can`t agree with you. She is free to wear what she may and act as she wants so long as she can deliver the goods, And boy, does Khatia do just this. What an incredible performance. Pure mastery of her technique is simply not something one is born with,. She, and of course the conductor and orchestra, have invested a tremendous amount of hard work into preparing this concerto and it has certainly paid off. Thank you all for a divine concert.

She rarely uses sheets. Only once seen her use it.

@demods, she "was considered a wunderkind. She began to play the piano at the age of three ..." I think it explains all ))

The point is you never hammer the keys… your hands and wrists must remain subtle and relaxed throughout

Believe it or not: The 1954 edition of the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians notoriously dismissed Rachmaninoff's music as "monotonous in texture ... consist[ing] mainly of artificial and gushing tunes" and predicted that his popular success was "not likely to last"

Interesting. You do know that a noted concert pianist once asked Rachmaninoff how the 3rd concerto should be played; Rachmaninoff answered "Go ask Horowitz".

@@PaulZink No I don't "know" that. Is it a true story? Or an urban myth. Of course it's all a question of taste not to mention that Mr. Rachmaninoff died before Khatia was born. Of course, I imagine I'm not as posh as you are so what do I know?

Thank you for your feedback. We are very happy that you like this video so much.

Facial expressions are often used to convey the "deep emotions moving the soul" of the performer (the concert violinist Joshua Bell sways, bends, and dips so much I'm waiting for him to fall over). It's a dramatic trick, going back at least to silent movies and early theatrical performances, used to impress an unsophisticated audience. Watch Jascha Heifetz-nicknamed "God's Violinist" and acknowledged by most everyone (including violinists like Itzhak Perlman) to be the greatest violinist of the 20th century-as he performs with an expressionless face except for showing an intense focus on the music. Maybe a raised eyebrow now and then…
