He won the Turgeman competition, the Paul Ben Haim competition, the "Highlights", the Ariana Katz, the "Maurice M. Clairmont", the "Young artist", "Lions Israel ", the "Tel Hai International Master Classes Competition" and the Zubin Mehta Piano Competition.
I appreciate your reply! Thank you very much. As an amateur pianist, I studied this piece myself around 2005-2006, so I have a special place for it in my musical heart. I shall look forward to enjoying more of your music in the days ahead. Kind regards.
Absolutely amazing. A silent, but magical performance. I have no words. This is perfect.
Most people ignore the dolce marking in the B section. You not only acknowledge it, you possess it! You have a wonderful sound
Thank you so much! I’m really happy you felt that way.
Extraordinary. I've listened to many pianists play this piece and your playing is my favorite. While people may dig the idiosyncrasies of some concert pianists (i.e. Horowitz, Gould, Ax, etc.), I found your playing honest to the period and the composer. Too many pianists don't let Brahms breathe. Your playing is full of contemplation, the way I imagine Brahms himself imagined it to be. I enjoyed your Chopin and Debussy as well. Very well done, I hope your playing takes you to great palces!
Thank you Tal-Haim. I love the "B" movement as it were. It's whimsical and playful; very characteristic of Brahms... Love it

Thank you, Scott. I do not deserve your expressive and kind words. You made me so happy. I'm very glad you enjoyed. Thank you.
thank you Tal-Haim.. So beautifyl sound..!
+di plevron Thank you!
I was (and am) a fan of Yuja Wang's perfomance of this Brahms masterpiece (best of 3 intermezzi imho) in Tel Aviv (2018), but I tend to like your interpretation more, it is more sincere. Very nicely performed, hope to attend your skills in another life :-)
Thank you! I'm very happy you enjoyed and liked my playing and the interpretation. And who knows. Maybe we w i l l meet sometime :)
Really nicely played! I am currently learning this piece and hopefully, one day, I can play half as well!
@30575scott
Kind regards. Thank you again and hope you'll enjoy.
Wow, this is so beautifully played. Thank you.
+Max A Thank you very much.
Thank you so much! I'm sure you enjoy learning this piece and I'm more than sure that you would do it beautiful in your own way!! :-)
What a big compliment.. I'm so happy you enjoyed it...
Bravo! Thank you for being true to the written music. This wonderful composition was beautifully played, passionately played. And, I much preferred this performance to those just listened to, on UA-cam, of Glenn Gould, Emmanuel Axe and Ivo Pogorelich. I don't think I need to listen to any others.
That's still awesome!!! Nice interpretation by the way!
currently learning this piece,your interpretation is one of the best!well done!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
Très belle interprétation bien sentie avec beaucoup de sentiment, très agréable à écouter.
Merci...
Beatifull interpretation of this piece! congratulations!
Mariana Rocchietti Thank you so much, Mariana.
Excellent interpretation of this piece. Especially the second movement. I also love Van Cliburn and Vladimir Horowitz's interpretation of this. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much. I'm very happy you enjoyed it!

Kind regards! Thank you so much.
Ilove it
Thank you!
You're welcome. I have a question. I hear different tempos played for the second movement, why is that?? What does Piu moto ed espressivo mean?? And I apologize, it was Arthur Rubinsteins version of this I heard, not V. Horowitz's.
Sure, Piu moto is with more motion- means faster than the last section and espressivo is expressive... :-) Most of the intermezzi, or more than that- all of them, have a structure of A-B-A' and the middle section (B) will be different in key, tempo and mood... :-)
how big is your hand? I assume you can reach 12th?
Haha :-) Well- I can reach 12th just with my left hand...
Au plan technique, c'est impeccable, mais il n'y a pas beaucoup d'émotion. C'est joué comme un prélude de Bach au métronome, alors que ce qui est intéressant chez Brahms ce sont les contrastes. L'intermezzo oscille entre le mystère et la souffrance. Là, c'est plat. Personnellement, je me suis ennuyé.
Thank you so much...
