Beethoven Pianoforte Sessions: #3 Olga Pashchenko | Concert | BOZAR

Olga Pashchenko is regularly invited to play on the 1824 Graf fortepiano at the Beethoven-Haus in Bonn. It was the instrument on which she recorded her album Apassionata, Les Adieux, Waldstein (Alpha, 2017), hailed by Res Musica magazine as “a very great Beethoven recording, which […] proves that historically informed performers, these ‘ancient moderns’, bring an unexpected freshness and a new way of listening to these monuments of the piano and musical pantheon.” At BOZAR, she will perform Beethoven’s gargantuan Hammerklavier Sonata on Chris Maene’s replicas of the Graf and Broadwood fortepianos.

Потрясающе! ❤

[@alvarogarciabarbosa3199]

Best version ever!! Cara Olga siente a Beethoven,
Я люблю тебя, Ольга!!

[@SergioValenzuela]

Love her temperament!. What a journey this immense and very human work by Ludwig Van.

[@noshirm6285]

Brava, Olga! 💐

[@bratenrock]

Simply great how she plays. It is so explosive. I love this wild style. I wonder if Pashchenko had the choice, would she take modern grand piano instead of such historic instruments? I guess for Waldstein the historic but for Hammerklavier a modern one. I have the impression Beethoven overrated his new Piano and wrote music for a instrument he would like to have.

[@olgapashchenko5091]

Thank you for your kind words! About choice - I do prefer to play the music on the period pianos. Beethoven on a 5-6.5 octave fortepiano, Chopin on Pleyel, Ravel on 1920 Bechstein, Ustvolskaya on a modern Steinway etc 😄

[@ehayashi1995]

@@olgapashchenko5091 Are Maene pianos good? As I listened your recording, I thought that it has ‘more effective’ dampers than original Graf - how do you think about it?

[@вадимагекян]

I like it!

[@robertocarvalhodemagalhaes3648]

Fantastic. (Now, are you gong to post the video of Suite Hivernale on this channel? Why isn't it here?)

[@boudewijnsondervan2799]

Subliem! Dit is 'openbaring'! Zo volkomen 'gaaf"!

[@cliffwheeler7357]

Interesting that Olga uses an iPad rather than conventional sheet music. I assume the pages are turned from a second synchronised iPad operated off stage.

[@colinhodgetts5476]

No, they are changed by a foot switch.

[@williamsu5552]

the camera man drives me crazy. Why cannot just focus on the fingers playing？！

Fortepiano made with artificial glue….
