    I'd been following Khatia for a couple of years on UA-cam and I added a 'Khatia' performance to my bucket list - even if I had to travel across the world to see her.
    Then one cold March evening in 2018, two unassuming young girls got into my taxi, carrying Burger King trays. They looked like a pair of students, dressed in jeans and wearing bubble coats and woolly hats.
    It was dark, but I caught a glimpse of one of the pair and I quickly thought 'she looks like Khatia', but knew that it couldn't be her - besides, Khatia would be travelling in a limo!
    Then, I noticed that the girls were talking in a Russian-sounding language and their requested destination was The Hope Street Hotel in Liverpool - which happens to be situated right opposite the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.
    When we arrived at the hotel, I asked her if she played piano - she replied 'yes'.
    I said 'Khatia?' She said 'Yes!'
    She was smiling widely by now and I blurted out 'Khatia Buniatishvili???' She seemed as excited as me and exclaimed 'Yes!'
    Khatia was amazed that I knew who she was and I marvelled at the realisation that she had got into my taxi-cab - when she could have got into any one of 1500 cabs in Liverpool.
    The other girl was Gvantsa - her sister!
    I found out that she was performing the following evening at the Philharmonic and I dashed home to book tickets online.
    Dreams come true!

    Khatia Buniatishvili is one of a most beautiful pianist in the world, not as a woman but as a artist and pianist style on her concerts. She is as one with the instrument, a body with a piano. She is a pianist, ful of feelings and positive energy. That is why, her concerts are so atractive for the audience. On the music stage she is as a star, as same as on fashion stage with recognisable figure. I adore her, and i have been listening very often. With all respect to Khatia, Dimitrije Mirchevski , from Skopje - North Masedonia.

      One may say that it is important for musicians to have a unique musical style and personality, but is it even acceptable to interpret the pieces like what Buniatishvili did? Buniatishvili is intoxicated by being virtuosic and often forgets what is behind the music. One should have faith in his or her own interpretation, but he or she should also re-think whether he or she is doing justice to the music or not. In addition, technique is much more than playing the notes accurately and rapidly. Technique refers to the total mastery of the keyboard. Yet, at times Buniatishvili’s playing lost control, no matter use of pedal, or tone production. Virtuosity does not necessarily mean speed and volume. In order to become a mature artist with individuality, Buniatishvili has to reflect on her musical approach and attitude towards music making.

      Hi ! Well, Miss Tits&Ass may have flying fingers but the sound, unlike that of the great pianists of the past, is not big and is not beautiful. THE TELEGRAPH 05.06.2014 By Ivan Hewett
      Comment Tales abound of the heroic pianists of old, who beat
      pianos into submission, and broke strings without even raising a
      forearm. Young Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili clearly wants to
      join that company. True, I didn’t actually see any keys flying or hear
      any strings snap. But by the end of the Three Dances from Stravinsky’s
      Petrouchka, one or two notes had acquired that worrying out-of-tune rasp
      that shows a piano is wilting under the strain. Buniatishvili’s
      blistering power went hand-in-hand with an astonishing steely-wristed
      technique, which was a boon in the Stravinsky, and in the mad dance of
      Ravel’s La Valse, and in Chopin’s B flat minor Scherzo. Under her hands
      these pieces took on a crazed, tumultuous quality. At the opposite pole
      was the spectral calm of Le Gibet, Ravel’s evocation of a corpse
      swinging from a gallows. I’ve never heard this piece played with such a
      threadbare sound, and at such a slow pace. In between came three
      Intermezzi by Brahms, which were so quiet and thin in sound it seemed as
      if they’d died and returned as ghosts. This was all very striking. But
      where was the musical sense in it all? When everything is pushed to
      extremes, all we’re left with is a series of shocks to the nervous
      system, which very soon wear off. I never thought the beginning of
      Chopin’s heroic and tragic Scherzo could sound trivial, but
      Buniatishvili somehow managed it. The piece began fast and then
      accelerated, skidding to a halt at the first cadence with cartoonish
      suddenness. Buniatishvili’s problem is that she gets intoxicated by her
      own virtuosity, and musical judgment goes out of the window. This isn’t
      to say an effect of intoxication isn’t appropriate at times. In fact in
      Ravel’s La Valse a sense of encroaching delirium is the essence of the
      piece. But we have to feel delirium pushing against a firm underlying
      waltz tempo, and in Buniatishvili’s performance that dance pulse barely
      registered. It was crazed from the start. All this exaggeration was
      sorely disappointing, because here and there moments of real sensitivity
      emerged. The delicacy of the very first piece, Ravel’s Ondine, promised
      something special. In Brahms’s deeply nostalgic B flat minor Intermezzo
      her sound took on a lovely entangled, cobwebby quality, clear and hazy
      all at once. But to really savour these little nuances one needs a basic
      trust in the performer. That, I’d long since lost.

    Could we possibly avoid two things? One, any comparisons with Lang Lang (which I've heard elsewhere but thankfully not here) and two, any criticisms about what she chooses to wear. She is a remarkably individual pianist who seems to take a fresh approach to even the most familiar pieces - those who haven't heard it should listen to her dazzling performance of Tchaikovsky's 1st piano concerto. You will never hear a more original interpretation. She is already a world class talent and we should celebrate her. Thank you so much for sharing this with us :)

I have also left very positive comments on her performance of the Tchaikovsky First Concerto, which is splendid, fresh and genuinely innovative. We are the critics here, Mario. And I hope we're allowed to say what we think...

      But they were reviewing that concert. I was offering my opinion (subjective, of course) on this one. In the version on UA-cam of Tchaikovsky's 1st concerto, I also offered a rave review because she seemed to play down the virtuosic side and made it much more gentle and thoughtful. (I can see that performance just to the right of the page as I write this.) I don't think it's helpful to offer a comment on a concert which we can't listen to. I enjoy her playing immensely and I'm entitled to express my view, based on what I see before me.

      Hi Eva Maria....! THE FINANCIAL TIMES Ltd 2014
      06.06.2014 < Khatia Buniatishvili, Queen Elizabeth Hall, London -
      review > "...No matter how fast she plays, no matter what the
      character of the music, everything comes across the same way - the
      pianistic equivalent of a society wedding photograph, with edges blurred
      and defining human characteristics removed. ...
      Buniatishvili is neither careless nor ungifted. She is simply overhyped,
      immature and preoccupied with beauty of presentation - a poor example
      to the legions of young pianists who aspire to her fame and fortune. At
      no point did this recital reveal a shred of the musical temperament we
      expect of a scion of Georgian musical tradition." ...

      @necroyoli08 8 років тому +8

      ***** Or variety, and a lot of people hates me for saying this, but having every single performer play all pieces the same, always entirely faithful to the score is just boring. I think every performer should take the risk of trying to match their own voices with the voice of the composer; some may fail, some may succeed, but having everyone paying eternal and absolute faithfulness to a score written a couple of hundred years ago is another way of perpetuating its burial instead of giving it a second, third, or thousandth life, whoch to me is way more interesting, specially since we can listen to them all.
      But yes, it's all a matter of taste. Personally I believe that this being a little bit slower builds a more dreamlike atmosphere, which according to the poem and the theme of the piece seems not so unfit.

    • @necroyoli08
      @necroyoli08 8 років тому +3

      ***** I don't think she changed the piece at all, to me it's quite evident she's playing Claire de Lune. Besides, I never mentioned rithm, harmony or melody, as she didn't change any of those. She played in perfect 9/8 time signature, she played the exact melodies and the exact harmonies in the exact Bb minor key signature with the exact accidentals Debussy wrote, she's just feeling it a little bit slower at times, I wouldn't consider intuitive augmentation (given that she doesn't play it slower the whole time) a way of disrespect, a wrong call or a drastic change in the piece. Maybe I find that excessive scrutiny prevents us from enjoying music's possible flexibility. Besides, even though great composers write, as you said, the right specifics, great composers also know that performers will bring new insights into the music, many times confessing joyfully that given performer overcame what they had imagined.
      But you don't have to like it or anything, it's really just a matter of taste and how flexible we are. There is room for both Karajans and Stokowskys in the world and they are both great for each kind of personality.
      Greetings.

    • @necroyoli08
      @necroyoli08 8 років тому +1

      ***** Your'e supposed to write a variation where the only difference is spontaneous augmentation? And again, I don't know who you listened, but this is not a slower tempo in the whole, she just sustains it in certain bits, and at least to me this is not enough reason to write a variation, because feeling the piece yourself is just what performers do, at least good performers, unlike those robots who play, like I said, the exact same thing over and over and over again. Take it or leave it, there are enough Lang Langs in the world if you're into that robotic philosophy on "just" performance.
      And I didn't say composers know performers will take "liberties", I'm saying you can't write down every single aspect of performance in paper because there's no possible language to do that; you just can't imply everything that happens when performing with FFF or PPP or > or < and even if you write down in words exactly what you want, you know there's still a universe of possibilities. Vladimir Horowitz himself played his Carmen Variations differently every single time under the parameters of his score, as he did with a lot of other pieces which were not his. What I ment is that composers know all this.
      And last but not least: No; spontaneous augmentation while performing could be improvisation at best, but never the same as changing a melody or harmony, because that would be variation, and I'm sure you do recognize this is not a Claire de Lune variation, as you would recognize just the opposite if melody and harmony were any different. But let's imagine it was a variation ... Just calling it a variation makes it right? Following your logic, wouldn't it be just as disrespectful, if not much more to compose a variation?
      I think you should relax and take all this a little less seriously. Composers are human beings like everyone else, and just as their talent is to create, the talent of the perfomer is to bring it to life, which involves going, not against but beyond what's written down. It's ok if you like faster performances, but I don't think you have a solid citeria on performance.

      compensate for a lack of talent across the entire music industry. But
      the sexualised marketing of young women, particularly, in classical
      music has also now become normalised. Witness (the undoubtedly hugely
      talented) Yuja Wang's barefoot performances complete with interval dress
      changes, see the hundreds of PR shots of the kind that keep teenage
      boys locked in their bedrooms for everyone from Hélène Grimaud to Alison

      idk why but somehow being extremely attractive and dressing that way does take away some of that reverence. And it would be the same if this person was a very well muscled and attractive man. It somehow doesnt gel well. And yet here is an extremely attractive woman dressed in the most modern way playing with such impeccable sensitivity.
      I can only wonder and ponder why i feel this way.
      Beauty is truly a strange thing when mixed with talent.

      "... Speaking of flair, Buniatishvili emerged from the wings in a shiny
      silver dress, which said “Vegas.” The woman behind me remarked to the
      man she was with, “You don’t need to hear the music”-in other words,
      looking was enough. ... But, again, she was extreme. She slapped at the
      keyboard vulgarly. At one point, she stood up, the better to pound the
      keyboard. Her playing hurt my ears, ... And she seemed to play heedless
      of the public, heedless of pianistic norms, heedless of anything. I
      thought, “She’s in her own private Idaho.” ... Afterward, audience
      members went to the front of the hall, to take her picture. She beamed.
      She will obviously be a “star,” and is probably one already: the dress,
      the lionessness, the loudness. I imagine she’ll be known as “Khatia,”
      with the “Buniatishvili” on the sidelines."... THE NEW CRITERION

      neither careless nor ungifted. She is simply overhyped, immature and
      preoccupied with beauty of presentation - a poor example to the legions
      of young pianists who aspire to her fame and fortune. At no point did

      BERLIN 23.05.2016 Der Tagesspiegel Khatia Buniatishvili im Konzerthaus
      Die Diva lässt sich bitten: Erst als der Saal ungeduldig applaudiert, erscheint Khatia Buniatishvili
      auf dem Podium. Eine Erscheinung, wahrlich: Wie eine georgische
      Cleopatra am Klavier begleitet sie die Tournee der Amsterdam
      Sinfonietta, einem reinen Streichorchester, das sich auf seiner jüngsten
      CD böhmischem Repertoire widmet. Das schwarzes Kleid, das
      Buniatishvili im Konzerthaus angelegt hat, vereint zwei Extreme: vorne
      hochgeschlossen, aber mit breiten Seitenschlitzen, überzogen nur von
      hauchdünner Spitze, die mehr enthüllt als verdeckt. Vom Parkett aus
      gesehen sitzt Buniathisvili praktisch nackt am Flügel. Das macht was
      her, aber ihre Sichtweise auf Chopins f-Moll-Klavierkonzert (in einer
      Fassung für Streichorchester) ist weit weniger spektakulär: nämlich
      ziemlich inwendig und verschlossen. Klar: Chopin war kein lisztscher Tastenlöwe,
      übertriebene Expressivität würde zu ihm überhaupt nicht passen.
      Lustlosigkeit, verhuscht dahinplätschernde Forte-Passagen und Routine
      allerdings auch nicht. Was immer Buniathisvili in dieser Musik entdeckt
      haben mag - teilen will sie es offenbar nicht. Überraschend dagegen die Niedärländer, die markante Akzente setzen, ...

      Classical Music Critic
      scantrell@dallasnews.com
      If our end-of-year lists included not only the 10 best performances but
      also the 10 worst, the recital presented Tuesday night by pianist Khatia
      Buniatishvili might be hard to dethrone from the latter list’s first
      place.
      Opening a new three-recital series sponsored by the AT&T Performing
      Arts Center, the 26-year-old Georgian offered a hefty program at the
      Winspear Opera House, and considerable, if not flawless, virtuosity. We
      were told of her greatness in onstage warmups by both ATTPAC president
      and CEO Doug Curtis and WRR announcer Barry Samsula, both of whom also
      promoted other upcoming performances. An endorsement by the formidable
      Martha Argerich was quoted.
      But Buniatishvili, who performed in a glittery, bright-red dress, was
      all about self-indulgence. Sometimes grotesquely distorted, this was
      music reflected in the aural equivalent of funhouse mirrors. One could
      only guess that the standing ovations, whoops and bravas came from
      people not well acquainted with the pieces.
      It’s embarrassing that Dallas lacks a major concert series presenting
      touring artists. Even Fort Worth has its Cliburn Concerts. ATTPAC
      apparently wants to address the void, but it manages only the Winspear,
      the Wyly Theatre and the outdoor Annette Strauss Square, none
      acoustically ideal for classical concerts, as opposed to opera.
      This time, the 2,200-seat Winspear looked barely 1/4 full. Backed by a
      heavy curtain and an empty stage, the piano might as well have been out
      in a field. The sound lacked immediacy, bass and treble overtones.
      Buniatishvili’s program comprised sonatas by Liszt (B minor) and Chopin
      (No. 2 in B-flat minor), Ravel’s La valse and Stravinsky’s Three
      Movements from Petrushka. Opening the program, the Liszt pretty much set
      the template for all that followed.
      Faster music was often rushed into formless blurs. Slower music was
      often stretched all out of shape, like taffy. Some bangings yielded ugly
      sounds. Everything happened in the moment, with no sense of how
      anything fit together.
      This was fatal to the Liszt sonata, which can seem a vast sprawl but
      which actually is constructed with considerable sophistication. I’ve
      never heard its faster passages -the fugue, for instance - played so
      fast, with so little feeling for shape and purpose. Buniatishvili
      accomplished the considerable feat of making the Ravel sound ugly.
      Maybe she was having an off night. Maybe she was frustrated by the
      less-than-ideal acoustics. Maybe that’s why she didn’t wait for the
      audience to settle down before launching into pieces, and didn’t
      volunteer an encore. Or maybe this is just how she plays. I shall not be
      keen to hear her again.

    have to admit that she is Argerich taken to another level, she has the the beauty, the technique, and, like her, she is not afraid to test her own limits in front of the public, unlike many male pianists today who are so mindful of not striking the wrong notes, she, on the contrary, doesn't even care. and that's because she is so technically secure, that you can find her testing the possibility of the music's artistic perfection instead of technical perfection that accords her the privilege to ignore those mundane obligations one would demand from a lesser pianist.

    See, this is the thing: yes she has charisma and beauty and grace. But many people do, male and female. Yes, she is an accomplished and extraordinary concert pianist. But there are many wonderful pianists of great skill, male and female. What sets her apart, in my most humble opinion, is her novel and exciting interpretation of some of the greatest and well known works, but from a divinely feminine perspective. I thought I knew Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky intimately, until I heard her perform their piano concerti. And suddenly it was as if for the first time I knew what they were saying. Almost heart rendering to hear her perform the Rachmaninoff 2 or 3, suddenly I hear the power and patience and fear of romantic treachery from a woman''s perspective, and it's illuminating for any man with at least some consciousness or sensitivity. She is an avatar.

    @Shooshie128 8 років тому +72

    Khatia B. is a fantastic young pianist who will mature into one of the greats if she simply continues to do what she's doing: endear her supporters and defy her critics. The criticism levied against her beautiful appearance is stupid and without merit. In fact, one of the fastest ways to make yourself look stupid these days is to criticize Khatia as one who wows with sex but doesn't deliver the music, because - as these videos so clearly demonstrate - she wows with both. One of the easiest ways to enjoy her playing is with your eyes closed.
    While I loved the Liszt and Chopin very much, I think the Liebesträume was perhaps the best I've heard it, and I've heard dozens of pianists perform it. "Best" is a relative term, relative to my senses at this point in time, but I mean it sincerely, and... yes, with my eyes closed. Khatia is not afraid to take the time she needs for each phrase to sink in.
    Could say much more, but I'm sure others have said it. Superb performance by a superb pianist.
    Now... I'd feel a lot less stupid, personally, if someone would point me to a link where a person in the know pronounces her name! Bun-YAHT-ish-VIL-y ? I'm guessing.
    Beautiful performance, Khatia.
