This concerto was the first album my parents gave me when I was ten years old, I believe that Edward Grieg made the most beautiful concerto of all times. I am 78 now and this version is I think, the best I ever heard.
Jesus-God in Heaven. I've listened to this Concerto all my life, probably my favorite. I used to hold up Gilels as the gold standard, then listened to the Rubinstein from 1977. Superb. Letter-perfect. Couldn't get any better. Until this. I have never seen or felt such passion and joy from a musician. Such wonder, grace and coyness. She dances. And we dance with her.
Hypnotic? How about hysterical? Aside from her ability to give the lyrical sections their due, she vulgarizes much of the music, especially the poor 3rd movement, by employing stupid, uncalled-for, breakneck tempos which, she must think, generate thrilling effects, when in fact all they succeed in doing is make the music sound silly and superficial. You may be mesmerized to high heaven, but I'm afraid you're being sadly misled.@@adamhesse2586
You're not a very discreet listener if this impresses you to such an extent. No personal insult intended but you have no understanding of this work and are purely pianist snake fascinated.
I am continually mesmerized by Khatia’s passion to every piece of music she plays. She truly was born to be a pianist and grateful her gift has been revealed to the world. How lucky are we! It is my hope to one day see her in person and feel the electricity she creates in a concert hall.
I can only speak as a pianist who has never played with an orchestra but it seems to me that the soloist and conductor work brilliantly together. He is very tuned in to how she is playing and leads the orchestra in a wonderfully complimentary way. In return, she responds by giving an incredibly passionate performance. The orchestra and piano are balanced so perfectly, it's a delight to listen to and to watch because it's clear also how much the musicians are enjoying playing this magnificent concerto.
I'm not a professional music expert, but it seems to me that Khatia plays as fast as she can (faster than needed) and that sometimes harms to enjoyment by details of great music
@@tadcotadco6344no cuz she does it after studying the greats and choosing to put her own contemporary spin on her interpretation. she’s doing her job as an interpreter of music, and not only that, she adds such excitement that the audience couldnt help but clap after the first mvmt. Be a hater or a misogynist, fine, but you know very well Grieg would be thrilled with this.
This concerto shows the magical versatility of the piano so well. The softness and beauty of the opening piano lines of the second movement are unparalleled.
I tried to leave this on in the background while doing something else, but I keep finding myself drawn back in at full attention. This performance was a captivating one, in the truest sense.
The most beautiful of performances in every way - the beauty of Grieg’s lyrical concerto, Khatia’s stunning beauty, and - most of all - her passionate confidence and complete mastery of the piece. Power… Rapture… Joy!!
Extrêmement passionné et de même brillant. Je ne puis dire ce qu'en aurait pensé Edward Grieg, le magnifique Franz Listz lui avait promis un bel avenir en le dechiffrant. Mais malgré la beauté d'exécution en osmose parfaite avec l'orchestre, je me pose néanmoins une question : la question à de futurs élèves élèves en Israël que je n'aurai pas le droit par bienséance et très respect vis à vis de cette très grande pianiste d'en avouer cette dite question et la critique est toujours facile on le sait. Mais bravo pour cette magnifique performance de ce si émouvant concerto qui soulève le cœur et l'âme 28:29
Tremendous! Excellent from Khatia and the orchestra. I love how Khatia channels the music through her expressions and movements. That "nailed it" expression at 5:43 is the cutest thing ever. :D Grieg was a genius for writing this, and some of the rhythms and syncopations he used for the piano were ahead of his time (in European music). The 2nd movement is one of my favourites pieces, it's perfect bliss, like sunshine through the trees in a forest. After a soulful beginning, the piano comes in after so long, singing the most beautiful trills, and its entrance is absolutely perfect.
By the half of this century (in wich time I'll not be here anymore) KHATIA Will be one of the four or five most recognized all time Pianists on the world, She is at this time, among Lisitsa and Yuja, my all time favorites!!! I Love Khatia!!!
This is one of the first piano concertos I heard as a teenager and now as a septuagenarian, I have yet to tire of it. The performance is exceptional, but I can never stop wondering at the level of inspiration that infuses this work. The melodies are wonderful, all memorable, never trite, piano writing brilliant and so pianistic, orchestration colorful, always tasteful, harmony rich, and there is not a boring moment in the whole work. Creative people often have a sense that some spiritual force outside themselves was guiding their work. In this work it is clear that only God could have been guiding Grieg's hand.
And another thing, Frank. after decades of hearing a multitude of iterations, where I've taken to maybe one or two as personalfavourites, new musicians will interpret a concerto or symphony that amazes me all over again. I have a CD of Grieg's A-min I've long settled on as my favourite. Then, along comes a Russian or Ukrainian who adds such depth and sympathy to the piece I'd not thought possible. It's a comforting thought, that I won't ever tire of classical music when the rewards of a new performance never run out.
@@TheLoneHaranger I entirely agree Ross. I am constantly finding new performances that delight and amaze me. I recall years ago hearing Glen Gould playing the Brahm's First Piano Concerto at a seemingly ridiculously slow speed, but the Concerto is so rich in detail, especially the first movement that the slower tempo enabled the listener to hear many details that might otherwise be lost.
@@MariaCristinaBittar estoy en un todo de acuerdo con vos: Khatia Buniatishvili es brillante ! Cordiales saludos desde Argentina y gracias nuevamente !
Khatia is the best pianist i have ever heard and here she plays my favorite concerto which especially removes me ( i have norwegian ancestors) . She is now so famous and has a such a success that attending one of her concert is a performance ! Thanks Khatia !
you know... it does an old fart like me a lot of good when i see a talented lovely young lady who shows such technical mastery while exuding love of music and expression. what a pleasure to know the true beauty of humanity finds a way to come through the dross that is the majority. give me hope for the future of humanity. wonderful young lady... never loose the love within.
After listening to this concert from many pianists, conductors and orchestras, I never have enjoyed such a remarkable, beautiful and brilliant performance. Khatia's magical fingers deliver an intimate experience that goes far beyond her deep mastery of the keyboard and of this difficult composition. If Edvard Grieg himself could listen to Khatia, he would surely be moved to tears, too.
Love how expressive Khatia is through her body language while performing, or even just listening. Looks like she's putting everything into every single note she plays.
I totally agree with you re. Kathia's body language or even with the intensity she is able to play every single second... Comment ne pas être transporté en émotions par autant de présence pour jouer ce Concerto magnifique...
Темперамент, романтическая одухотворенность, великолепный мелодизм, звуковая насыщенность - все это присутствует в музыке концерта. Хатия Буниатишвили великолепна. Вместе с Григом она создает море романтизма. Спасибо.
This is such a popular concerto, in the repertoire of most pianists, that it's hard to do anything original with it. But Khatia manages it in spades. From the passionate drama of the first movement cadenza to the gossamer touch of the slow movement, Khatia brings something new. A wonderful orchestra and a great performance. Thank you.
One of the best, if not the best, performance of this concerto. Mesmerizing, inspirational. Pianist, orchestra, recording, even the Piano with its rich and full tones lol are superb.
This Piece brings back so many memories for me. In the 50s I was stationed in Germany curing my British National Service. Some of us guys were “adopted” by a German family as part of the
Khatia, magic fingers, you are a brilliant pianist. I love listening to you play. A particularly lovely Greig piece, and you were perfect! Thank you all for a wonderful performance - I was transported to beautiful Norway.
Thank you for this concerto of Grieg that I do not get tired of listening to it carries me in a pure moment of happiness it transports towards the best of this world: Khatia, Tgano Sokhiev and his orchestra a magnificent harmony and a lot of sublime virtuosite
Amazing performance of both orchestra and solist. One of the best I've ever heard of this concerto. I am from Norway, as Grieg was. We norwegians are grown up with his music, a music that reflects both (old) culture and (everlasting) scenery and landscape of our country. But what really catches me is that the music of Grieg is so beloved worldwide, whichever culture one is from. It's something very universal about this. And I think that is because his music hits deep emotions in humans wherever we are from. Griegs masterpiece was to make something that survives both time and space.
the juxtaposition of the transcendence of the music and the mundane physicality of Khatia blowing her runny nose is beautiful and perfect brilliant performance all around
As many times (100+) as I have heard this monumental concerto in recordings, radio, etc. this video proves, as if it needed proof, that the visual in any classical performance is as vital and important to the experience as the soound itself. It is mostly verified by the passionate expression on the soloists facial expression. She is really into it, or she is one of the truly great actresses of all time.
I can't believe I missed this piece. All I ever heard from Grieg was excerpts from Peer Gynt. I also missed Rachmaninov's stellar concertos. But not any more . . Khatia is superb.
So if I'm listening to a recording of a work, without being able to scrutinize every 'expressive wrinkle' on the soloist's face, I'm missing out on the "vital and important" visual aspect of a performance - - do I have that right? Maybe music schools should offer a course for piano majors entitled "Fingers aren't enough - - put that face to work!".
Same . Grew up with the piece as a child.it runs through my mind regularly for.... fifty years. This is the greatest version i have found. We are spoiled by Khatia .
I too have loved Grieg's concerto for over 60 years. Khatia's performance is a joy to behold. I finally decided to take up piano a few years ago. I walk into the lesson and tell the teacher the Concerto is my goal. She replies " You need another teacher....."
This is such superb playing by all, and especially Khatia, in which every precious little note she plays is wrapped up in love and sensitivity and sent out each one as a gift to the world. Marvelous! Many thanks to all!
Having listened to this concerto over the last 60 years it was losing its appeal until Khatia infused it with her vibrancy and passion. It is also revitalizing to see the dexterity and sensitivity withwhich she dances over the keyboard, often without looking and all from memory! Thanks to Patreon.
My word, what a stunning performance by these two brilliant and charismatic musicians, Buniatishvili and Sokhiev, and well done to the orchestra for keeping up !
EXCEPTIONAL . Sunt un hodorog de 64+ dar ascult Grieg de cind aveam 15 ,16 , 17 ani. Nu am mai auzit / vazut asa ceva. BRAVO Khatia , BRAVO Tugan , BRAVO Orchestrei Nationale de la Toulouse. Multumesc.
CHE ALTRO C'È DA AGGIUNGERE, I COMMENTI SONO TUTTI QUI' ALL' UNISONO : KHATIA MAGNIFICA, BELLA ,STUPENDA, DIVINA, L'INCARNAZIONE DELL'ARTE IN FORMA UMANA!
Every note of this concerto leads to the point where I'm lost in every emotion of pure love and joy (18:00-18:30). Khatia is God's gift to us. She completely captivates and gives herself away in every performance. This is one of my favs. 🌹💕🌹
That moment at 11:42 makes the price of admission all worth it--and it unapologetically puts to shame, with a very dramatic flare, the best shampoo commercial ever produced in the history of humankind! I love this woman--and I love her even more when I learn she admires Marta Argerich!
Which is wrong! A soloist's first obligation should be to recognize the audience - - after all, it's they who've taken the trouble and time (and perhaps bought tickets) to attend the concert, and who've listened attentively to your playing. And at the conclusion of the concerto, we see the soloist rudely ignoring the applause and turning his/her back to the audience, then beginning with the shaking of hands, giving kisses and hugs ro various persons on the stage. To this day I cringe as this shameful tradition lives on, and I feel a little proud of the fact that after each of the fifteen piano concertos I've played with orchestras, the very thought of following this tradition would've been abhorrent to me. Sorry for the 'lecture'; it's just that I feel very strongly about this matter.
@@richardvolpe7664 clearly I am just a music fan and unaware if protocols. I interpreted her actions as thanking the orchestra for their support. I acknowledge your apology for the 'lecture', but perhaps before schooling a fan on TH-cam, you would consider a softer approach next time. If I was a student in your music class I would accept this rebuke, but on this platform perhaps you would be so kind as to just let me enjoy it.
@@debsmith7861 am I serious in my enjoyment of this piece of music? I certainly am. Your rather aggressive response to my comment probably means that you DO know the piece well, perhaps even having played it yourself or studied it at some point. So by all means, demonstrate your expertise to the TH-cam community, but keep in mind that some of us are not professional musicians and do not have degrees in music. Some of us just happened upon this video and enjoyed it for what it was. What a sad world we live in, when appreciation for something beautiful is ruined by the opinions of 'experts' who may know the subject matter better, but have a bit more growth to do in the human interactions field. Have a lovely day 😊
Had Edward Grieg known one day there would be a Pianist like Khatia who play piano by her soul, He would have named Piano concerto in A minor "Khatia". Bravo Khatia.
This concerto was the first album my parents gave me when I was ten years old, I believe that Edward Grieg made the most beautiful concerto of all times. I am 78 now and this version is I think, the best I ever heard.

dance? Nah, it's something far more divine. Dancing doesn't make me cry. This does!
Say Hallelujah, brother. Thank you for that!
This recording is the BEST Grieg piano concerto i've ever heard. Khatia is absolutely incredible
It’s obvious she totally enjoys herself making this beautiful music with the rest of the musicians and conductor.
I could watch this a dozen times and be more mesmerized each time. How is that possible? What a musical gift Miss Khatia is to the world.
Mesmerizing is exactly the word! She's hypnotic.
Hypnotic? How about hysterical? Aside from her ability to give the lyrical sections their due, she vulgarizes much of the music, especially the poor 3rd movement, by employing stupid, uncalled-for, breakneck tempos which, she must think, generate thrilling effects, when in fact all they succeed in doing is make the music sound silly and superficial.

Me too. I was captivated by the lightness and deftness of her fingers and the power she puts into a fortissimo.
She is so fast! But seems to manage to not quite overdo it . . Seems to understand this late romantic stuff, which I'm late in discovering.
@@henrybrowne7248 true dat
As do i - her touch is magic, you cannot tell the bass notes from the strings in the soft sections, and her forte is magnifiico!!!
Grieg is so great: wonderful melodies, and a gamut of emotions evoked. I love everything of his I've ever heard.
One of my pet peeves is applause between movements. But had I been in the concert hall for that first movement I doubt I could have stayed in my seat!
This piano concerto by Edvard Grieg is one of my favourites, and this version is absolutely amazing.
anyone else remember "The Sound of Norway"?
my introduction to Grieg in 1970.... still LOVE this, BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE

KHATIA is such an amazingly accomplished pianist. Such strength and yet delicate as well.
that candenza ...... wow... she makes the piano sound majestic
I agree. Really heavenly sttokes and souds.
I used to be drawn to the first movement but now the second is what brings me joy. I first heard this 50 years ago.
Agreed
I've heard this concerto hundreds of time with different piano players , and with Khatia , she is one of the magnificents and talented players
To anyone who enjoys the expression of the spirit, Khatia is the necessary prescription.🌹
Один из любимых моих концертов с детства. И Хатия играет его великолепно. Красавица и Музыкант с большой буквы!
Тоже обожаю Хатию!

What a fiery performance, with all the fireworks polished clean (really those octaves) and Katia oozing that Liszt energy, wonderful!
Hands down Khatia is the best pianist! Simply unparalleled!

This is beyond excellence. Khatia allows this piece to breath. No other pianist can do this. Great orchestra and conductor.
Could anything be more beautiful than this?this is out of this 🌎world.
I am very familiar with this piece of music. I planned on only listening to the first movement but I was transfixed. This is an amazing talent.
Beautiful. Went to Grieg’s home. Peaceful. Gorgeous lake view.

Still.. hard to decide ...in betweening to listen both Rubinstein's ...and Khatia's ... different but all great.
Thank you for this concerto of Grieg that I do not get tired of listening to it carries me in a pure moment of happiness it transports towards the best of this world: Khatia, Tgano Sokhiev and his orchestra a magnificent harmony and a lot of sublime virtuosite

Kudos big time to the conductor - he is as deep into this piece as Khatia, the depth of the passion and beauty of this piece is unfathomable ...
Grieg was like "gotta hook them in the first 30 seconds or they won't stay for the rest...."
We never practiced together.
Ha!
The red dress and it's occupant hooked me too...
So true lmao
@@NikoHL occupants.
Having listened to this concerto over the last 60 years it was losing its appeal until Khatia infused it with her vibrancy and passion. It is also revitalizing to see the dexterity and sensitivity withwhich she dances over the keyboard, often without looking and all from memory! Thanks to Patreon.
Khatia is fascinating musically and her piano describing her stylish performing perfection !!!
Mystique. The best. Such passion
Восхитительная техника исполнения. шикарное и чувственное исполнение .проникновенная игра. браво!
Keep calm fans & love spreading good vibes, let only music rule the world and let it sound just this good
My word, what a stunning performance by these two brilliant and charismatic musicians, Buniatishvili and Sokhiev, and well done to the orchestra for keeping up !
Úžasná interpretace, takto bych to hrála i já ❤❤❤
Top 10 greatest tunes ever penned. This is first on the list.
This group is the best there is now.
Khatia engages beautifully with the orchestra. Bravo!
EXCEPTIONAL .
Sunt un hodorog de 64+ dar ascult Grieg de cind aveam 15 ,16 , 17 ani.
Nu am mai auzit / vazut asa ceva.
BRAVO Khatia , BRAVO Tugan , BRAVO Orchestrei Nationale de la Toulouse.
Multumesc.
Impressed by the stunning performance by Khatia Buniatishvili and orchestra
CHE ALTRO C'È DA AGGIUNGERE, I COMMENTI SONO TUTTI QUI' ALL' UNISONO : KHATIA MAGNIFICA, BELLA ,STUPENDA, DIVINA, L'INCARNAZIONE DELL'ARTE IN FORMA UMANA!
Watched and listened to it 10000 times and I am going to do it more and more. Love Khatia! Georgia is proud of you!
Masterfully libidinous performance by my favourite Georgian.
Une merveille musicale par une excellente pianiste merci beaucoup pour ce concert
Every note of this concerto leads to the point where I'm lost in every emotion of pure love and joy (18:00-18:30). Khatia is God's gift to us. She completely captivates and gives herself away in every performance. This is one of my favs. 🌹💕🌹
Beautifully said! She is a Goddess.The orchestra is superb.
🎉😢😢😢😮😮😮😊😊😊
Úžasná pianistka.❤
Just breathless❤
That moment at 11:42 makes the price of admission all worth it--and it unapologetically puts to shame, with a very dramatic flare, the best shampoo commercial ever produced in the history of humankind! I love this woman--and I love her even more when I learn she admires Marta Argerich!
Spot on the mark Talent 👏 👌 👍 🤣 🙌 😀 👏. Great listrning& watching her leading 👍 !!!
I love that she acknowledged the orchestra before taking her bow. Beautiful music, played beautifully!
Which is wrong! A soloist's first obligation should be to recognize the audience - - after all, it's they who've taken the trouble and time (and perhaps bought tickets) to attend the concert, and who've listened attentively to your playing. And at the conclusion of the concerto, we see the soloist rudely ignoring the applause and turning his/her back to the audience, then beginning with the shaking of hands, giving kisses and hugs ro various persons on the stage. To this day I cringe as this shameful tradition lives on, and I feel a little proud of the fact that after each of the fifteen piano concertos I've played with orchestras, the very thought of following this tradition would've been abhorrent to me.
Sorry for the 'lecture'; it's just that I feel very strongly about this matter.
@@richardvolpe7664 ,
You can't be serious. Do you know this piece? At all?
@@richardvolpe7664 clearly I am just a music fan and unaware if protocols. I interpreted her actions as thanking the orchestra for their support.
I acknowledge your apology for the 'lecture', but perhaps before schooling a fan on TH-cam, you would consider a softer approach next time. If I was a student in your music class I would accept this rebuke, but on this platform perhaps you would be so kind as to just let me enjoy it.
@@debsmith7861 am I serious in my enjoyment of this piece of music? I certainly am. Your rather aggressive response to my comment probably means that you DO know the piece well, perhaps even having played it yourself or studied it at some point. So by all means, demonstrate your expertise to the TH-cam community, but keep in mind that some of us are not professional musicians and do not have degrees in music. Some of us just happened upon this video and enjoyed it for what it was.
What a sad world we live in, when appreciation for something beautiful is ruined by the opinions of 'experts' who may know the subject matter better, but have a bit more growth to do in the human interactions field.
Have a lovely day 😊
This morning I discover another Khatia performance and a new composer Grieg...my day will be happy ..Thank you Khatia...
Grieg is new to you? Check the incidental music Grieg wrote for the play _Peer Gynt_ by Ibsen.
Merveilleux, je le redécouvre. Avec Khatia, en plus.
Spectacular performance.
Strong musical feeling, bravissima.
So amazing when the piano comes back in at 15:29.
Had Edward Grieg known one day there would be a Pianist like Khatia who play piano by her soul, He would have named Piano concerto in A minor "Khatia". Bravo Khatia.
I love how collegial she is. She never fails to smile at the orchestral soloists.
I fell in love with this piece over 50 years ago. This is the best performance of this piece ever ! This is how it should be done.
Браво пиано концерт Едвард Григ! Браво пианоХатия Бонитиашвили!
Браво дирижер и оркестр! Спасибо!
