Both the pianist and orchestra sound thoroughly professional. One can easily forget that this is student performance. This is a sensitive, radiant and heartfelt performance, full of beautiful touches. The camera work and audio reproduction is first class. To everyone involved, congratulations on such a masterful accomplishment. The future of NEC shines brightly.

Excellent performance; unfortunately something of the beginning of the concerto is missing in this video!

[@gregt2022]

front rows empty- are people too busy to hear this wonderful orchestra?

[@tammygould5496]

I just can't get over the talent on this video wow!!! I keep thinking what would Beethoven think/do if he was there listening. He would surely be overjoyed

[@harisaro]

Every time I listen to the last movement why do I feel euphoric as though I have solved a beautiful mathematical complicated equation.

[@brendanmurphy1195]

Perhaps because you have, Rajan!

[@meandtiglet]

This moved me to tears

[@giacomozaccone2284]

The Adagio is magic,dreamy and touching.The younger composer was a follower of Mozart in his starting output

[@pianocharly]

really beautifull and very well played first cadensa now listening for the 2 and 3 part

[@meandtiglet]

I certainly hope James Bignamini here in Detroit (DSO) is blessed with such talent as does as well.

[@markdemers3417]

Wonderful! Spirited; light when it needed to be and energetic when the music called for it. Soloist and orchestra - bravo!

[@emilurbi1695]

I am listening to the piece the critics say launched Beethoven's fame in Vienna

[@leo32190]

Me too!
