11:28 Among all thousands of "Raindrops" there are in this world of interpretations of Chopins masterpiece, one more clever than the other, I still think Alice Sara Ott brings this music back to us with this interpretation on a "normal" piano and in a "normal" environment, showing us the genious of this music right in front of our daily life. Thank you so much, Alice Sara Ott!
I had never before experienced piano music in such a chaotic setting. There was no Steinway & Son piano, no grand auditorium. The lighting was too blue, and the bookshelf background too colorful; it seemed like all the wrong elements were combined. Despite this, I found myself mesmerized, unable to look away from the entire mini-concert. The performance was nothing short of masterful, akin to witnessing the creation of true masterpieces. Your storytelling through the music was captivating, and your passion for piano shone through every note. It was a performance that touched not only the keys but also the very soul of the audience, allowing them to travel through time and connect with the hearts of Chopin and Chilly Gonzales. I am left utterly speechless by the emotions conveyed. As I listened, I discovered an unexpected love for your piano performance growing within me. Your skill and dedication to your craft were evident, transcending the limitations of the unconventional setting. Your music breathed life into the space, transforming it into a sanctuary of artistry and expression. Indeed, it is safe to say that you are a true piano maestro, and the Tiny Desk Concert was the perfect venue for you to showcase your exceptional talent. I am grateful to have been part of this unforgettable experience, a testament to the power of music to break barriers and ignite the deepest passions within us.
I like the dusty old piano, I like that it's a bit off pitch. If you want to hear a concert performance, go see her in a theater. This is the sound of an incredibly talented artist performing with what she was given, in a tiny desk room, with all the imperfections that make it beautiful.
Wonderful comment. This piano sound reminds me of the film "The Pianist" by Roman Polanski. Great music can be played utterly beautiful on not the the best pianos. Like here.
I have been playing the piano for over 30 years, almost my entire life, and nothing makes me want to sit down at the keys again quite like a master of the craft like Alice. Chopin is such an expressive vehicle and Alice has taken this humble upright (much like the one in my house) and made the most beautiful magic. Thank you, NPR, for this gift! And thank you Alice for your inspiration! (Also Tiny Desk please tune your piano. 😬)
Even the most broken of things deserve to be loved and played. She approached this piano like another other hand made she has played. With love of the instrument and music.
To the snobs complaining about the piano… you’ve all missed the point. She’s played thousands of perfectly tuned pianos. Here… in this TH-cam video… she’s playing this piano. She’s playing this piano like no one ever has or may never again. Incredible performance and sound. I cried.
i didn't notice the piano was out of tune, but i did notice the poorer sound quality. Then i checked the description and realized it wasn't josh rogosin on the audio, which makes sense since the sound seemed muffled/dry and less rich to me (maybe off-tuning contributed to this). i would love to listen to this but the sound just makes it uncomfortable to listen to.
@woojalitus I'm sorry to tell, but if you think that sound quality and instrument sound quality is snobbish, you're stuck in the 1930s. Fortunately, classical piano has been something for everyone for a long time now. There is nothing wrong with pointing out that it is a pity that the piano is not tuned properly. While it is true that renting a baby piano would have been more ideal (I think the budget is not an issue) at least a quick tuning would have made a difference to the quality of this great little concert. It's very common to expect a quality deployment of microphones and sound production from the technicians. So far from being snobbish, one would expect a better sound. Something that in this case does not depend solely on the microphones but on the tuning of the piano. I'm sure you wouldn't have liked it if the Garret, Capaldi or Sting concert had been recorded with the sound of a mobile phone. I'm sure they would have got a sound out of the microphone "like no one ever has or may never again", but that's not the point. You expect to have a minimum of recording quality. The same goes for piano tuning. Congratulations on the concert, to Alice Sara and to NPR.
@@alvarogarridopiano "I'm sorry to tell, but if you think that sound quality and instrument sound quality is snobbish, you're stuck in the 1930s" And I'm sorry to tell, but if you think that sound quality and instrument sound quality is what music is about, then you're focusing on the wrong things... "There is nothing wrong with pointing out that it is a pity that the piano is not tuned properly" there's however something wrong in not understanding when a mellower, slightly out of tune piano sound is seeked and fits better...
I get it that the piano isn't ideal. But it's a given that there will be constraints when performing for 'The Desk'... it's really a commonplace that there is. To me 'Tiny Desk' is about artists coming and tipping their hats to a continuum... sharing their own perspective on the artistic life they know within a circle of appreciative onlookers (on-'listeners') ... from both near and far. It is about sharing their gratitude for the artistic gifts that they've been allowed to channel during their lives. Alice communicates this gratitude with open honesty and genuine grace. As is her way. Bravo Miss Ott !
This is how a very good piano used to sound some time ago, and I accept it. More than accept, I love it. Sometimes Im fed up with that perfect Steinway sound. Alice Sara Ott really knows how to hammer on that keys to get that right old sound out of this instrument. Making the piano beeing a big clock, ding-donging all over the place. Thank you for that ding-donging, Alice.
I just discovered Alice and oh my goodness I’m in love! She’s so talented and gracious… and it almost seems like she plays not with her fingers but emotions-there’s no disconnect between her and the music being performed 🥹 I also love how she smiles not just with her lips but also her eyes ♥️
i found this somehow on acid last night and it was the most beautiful part of the whole trip. My jaw dropped the whole performance and the way she explains her perspective and connection to each piece is amazing. I was brought to tears with how she lets the music truly embody her, and she has now become one of my favorite artists of all time. Looking into buying tickets for the NY performance asap. A truly mesmerizing experience from start to finish. Also, I've never seen anyone in my life smile with their eyes like this. The joy she feels through the music was spread to me and it was beyond the ultimate experience, I had to watch it 3 times in a row
What a treat! I've been listening to her Complete works of Chopin album on apple music a lot when I drive in my car. It's great to see her at Tiny Desk!
Wowza. She's incredible!!! That descending run she does with her right hand at 1:50 gave me goosebumps, and I just rewatched her do it over and over about 20 times =P. Would looooove to see her perform live some day, I can only imagine how magical it would be! 🎶🙏🥰🙏🎶
8:06- 8:55 one of the loveliest piano sounds I've heard in my 18 years of life- Such a caring relationship between the player and the piano seems like a person who respects the craft and has big love for it - Thanks NPR music -
her album chopin: waltzes was my reentry in to classical music. seeing her perform live in berkeley, california was a delight for me. nice to see her at the tiny desk venue!
So seldom do we get a glimpse into such a talented pianist as Alice Sara Ott, who express her beautify thru her music, an share a bit of herself, thank you for sharing, so nicely played on a beautiful old upright piano, sounds some where between a harpsichord and a baby grand…
I honestly think the slightly out of tune piano and the jangly strings added to humanity of Alice's performance. Most times you will not see an artist dig into a Steinway and pour their heart out the way she did here. This piano is less pristine and perfect which imo allows her to pour the pain/beauty/humanity that she does into this performance. We are allowed a glimpse into the beautifully human imperfections of both the performer and composer as a result. Beautiful.
Everything was absolutely beautiful ... the artist, her lovely and masterful performance, her displayed love and passion for music and performing on the piano, and the pieces she chose to perform and share with the audience. It was an incredible listening and visual experience.
Please keep on playing for us!! We need you around and your interpretations to know and feel the depth of each piece. I still remember your discourses on Poland, Chopin, Grieg etc. We need you around!! Appreciate more of you on TH-cam.
I went to see her tour recital in Tokyo where she performed for her album Echoes of Life, she played profoundly beautiful that I could feel the serenity and her emotions in every note. I think no matter what kind of piano she plays, she has this magic to make you feel the power of music and her true passions for it. I am looking forward to seeing her recital in my home town someday. And for now I would keep this memory of that drizzling night in Tokyo.
I remember that gifted pianist Alice Sara Ott long ago gave us the information that she has the disease MS, Multiple Sclerosis. So happy then to see her play this good. I welcome her back!
One of the greats of my time, making a piano of its caliber sound like a piano it could only dream of. Truly, it is not the tool that maketh the artist great. It is the greatness hidden within the artist itself. Glorious.
Chopin bares his heart and soul in all of his music. It takes a brave and fearless pianist to bring forth his formidable and exquisite emotions from a piano. Like Chopin, perhaps she most enjoys playing in front of a small audience, in small, salon-like settings, and this tiny room fits the bill quite well. And the piano; it was perfect! Lovely, lovely, lovely music. Thank you so much!
This old upright piano, a little bit untuned, gives us a wonderful lesson about history and pianos. I like the untamed sound of it and Alice Sara Ott for sure gives it the right treatment.
Her collaboration with Ólafur Arnalds is just magical, truly something to fully immerse yourself in. The Chopin Project is one of my favourite records of all time. But obviously, she has so much brilliant from her young life: I really can't wait to follow her through the decades ahead and listen to her interpretations.
@staffanolofsson8201 yeah bro, she's good, she ain't Marc Andre Hamelin though. That dude is on Arcadi Volodos level. There's levels, and those two are above all these pianists
Beautiful pieces! It made me feel so sad, happy, thoughful and emotional... one of the biggest interpreters I've ever seen. Thanks Alice & Tiny desk for delight to us with this small spot for a video, a very enjoyable video.
Alice Sara is amazing, a stunning talent. I love the way she plays Chopin and I am transfixed when she plays Beethoven. This short clip is wonderful. Thank you!
I saw her perform Ravel's concerto in g a few months ago, it was an absolute bless As an encore, she played Satie's gymnopédie, and i swear it was one of the most beautiful moments i lived. The whole hall stayed quiet for a solid 30 seconds after she finished What a pianist
I do not care how out-of-tune that piano was; She made it sing like a bird!! The use of dynamics was so massive that it only boosted the tone color of that instrument; and the melodies were just so gorgeous. She made it sound like it was completely fine; as if it were completely re-tuned from scratch beforehand.
I believe Alice Sara Ott is such a nice person in herself, that it is very hard to hold anything against her. Remembering all the difficulties she had, and has, I can only support this appearance on Tiny Desk. May this music be a gift to all of us from a person who wishes us all good, but also a gift from all of us to Alice Sara, with hope about a bright future. And thank you for the music!
Tiny pianos sound awesome. This one's not as crisp as the other in Hamelin's TD performance for say - but for the less percussive playing it's just perfect, very Chopin, especially the lows. Prelude Op. 28, No. 7 was a fun choice.

Sending love and energy to get you through 💜🫶
Stay strong!
Bill Evans always said if you get a piano that’s a bit off you weather it through, because that’s the job at hand. This performance is marvellous.
Love Bill
Piano tuned or untuned, this lady is musical magic. A privilege hearing her both play and speak. Thank you!

@@gaoqifen Looks like a Yamaha U1
It sounds like what I thought it would happen if I invited her to play at my home on my piano 😂

That run's amazing because it's descending thirds, it's all chords
She has multiple sclerosis it's amazing she can still play at this level.
omg, my favorite contemporary pianist! nice booking NPR!!
It really is captivating
Such emotion and focus in her playing. Spectacular!
She is sublime. Ethereal. She soars, taking the upright piano and any willing to listen, with her. Thanks NPR for presenting her to a larger audience.

Never saw someone playing the first prelude with so much power and confidence. Truely amazing!

Alice immerses herself in another dimension with every piece she performs and she takes you along with her in every note she plays.

Wow the haunting ambience of the upright - perfectly suited to the opening piece. ❤
