I think this interpretation is perfect for learners of this piece. The tempo choices are good, every notes are clear in its character. Thanks for uploading this.
Well done Oxana!! I've watched this video so many times and never get tired of it. Your performance is flawless, you put passion and sentiment into the piece, giving each passage its right dynamics and meaning. Dramatic, joyous, playful...each one of the expressions touches my heart deeply, bravo!!!
Outstanding performance by Miss Shevchenko. A young wonderful pianist to complete the sky of great pianists, mainly females, who give us, music diletanti the superb pleasure of the greatest art: music.... and here nothing less than Beethoven's. Thank you!!
Wonderful. Your playing is so clear and the last movement is a glory. Everything is so musical and beautifully placed. The best performance ever. Thank you. :-)
What control of her sound she has training and fantastic musical intelligence and intuition . Don't know how she got trills like that and this sound never becomes too much for middle period Beethoven . Hear her Prokofiev and Strav Petrouchka !!!
Wonderful attention to clear phrasing and a sensitive subtle attention to tempo variation. This is very romantic Beethoven, one of the first of his middle period in the new 19th century. I also love that Ms Shevchenko does not feel the need to play the final rollicking "tarantella" movement at the ridiculously over-fast tempos at which so many "concert pianists" feel they have to race-perform it. The technical "presto" range as later defined in the mid-19th century is not the same as the general presto sense felt in Beethoven's middle period, and performing the final movement that way does not make much musical sense at all, even as a tarantella, while Oxana's tempo here is absolutely perfect for the conclusion. Very nice work!
Agree 100% with your remarks about tempo. 'Presto' means fast, but over the last 80 years or so everybody treats it as meaning "as fast as possible". Not so!
I've played this piece. This is a really solid performance - - she doesn't try to make it more than it is with excessive rubato, ritardandos, stretto, fermata, etc. I'd have preferred a little more volume at the opening of the 1rst, but in a good acoustical concert hall [isn't the Athenium beautiful?] I'm sure her choice made sense. The 2nd movement [scherzo] was ground-breaking for me (the legato in the right hand while stacatto in the left), but I got over it. And the double-dotteds throughout are demanding (beyond single dotted's, but must not be overdone - they are *not* to come off as grace notes). As for 4th movement - she left me in the dust here - I learned it & got down certain passages, but never mastered it. 13:42 - Time to get a new sound engineer.
My Dad was a classical pianist But I don’t think I ever heard him play this piece. It is beautiful! I am looking for “horse training” music and it is not suitable for that purpose (too fast, I want something mellow and calming) but it is beautiful!

I totally agree. :-)
I don’t think I’ve ever heard it better played. Miss Shevchenko is clearly a pianist to keep an eye for!

Wonderful playing, Oxana. You bring out the humour in this great Beethoven sonata. Bolshoye spasibo.

A beautiful performer and a beautiful performance of Sonata No 18!
Very musical performance ❤

Bravo!! Muitos aplausos!!
Nicely played
Love your interpretation!
You're phenomenal Oxana !!
¡Saludos desde Bogotá, Colombia! ¡Toda mi admiración!
Awesome!
¡Aplausos totales!
Very Very nicely played!
Bravo, cette interprétation me rappelle que Beethoven a marqué une fois "con amabilita" a une de ses oeuvres (opus 110)
Wonderful everything. Only the Fazioli is missing?
She is a first-class pianist. Nobody knows her in Bucuresti?
Thank you for kind words. I guess some people do know me. Not many probably.
@@oxanashevchenko_pianist you are great ! thanks a lot !
Fantastico

She plays so well. However I like Clara Haskil’s interpretation the best.
Thank you for your comment. My favourite is Annie Fischer
Why don't you fix the title?
Like Sviatoslav Richter. A sorceror.
100!
Too bad the audio is mono.
強弱がめちゃめちゃ。
惰性で弾いてる。

I don't like it, too much piano in the first movement
As opposed to what?
@@markjames good one
@@markjames Meaning 'piano' as in *soft*. I made a similar but less harsh remark in my own comment.
mas que ridiculo , es horrible
Qué es horrible, la sonata?
Que cosa?
