Outstanding all around. Of all Saint-Saens' Cto # 2 available on UA-cam, this is probably the best. Perfection of the interpretation (phrasing, articulation, clarity of sound, variety of colors, lightness of pedal... wow!) well served by an excellent balance of sound recording and smart video editing. Kudos to the RAI technical team: they know what they are doing but more importantly, they understand the music... Thank you, Matteo!
More colorful beautiful piano sound for Saint-Saens Artur Rubinstein and Emil Gilels! More powerful Mikhail Pletnev! More genius than this Grigory Sokolov! Sokolov his rhythmic vitalness is unbeatable! More fire and passion Andrei Gavrilov and Marc Andre Hamelin!!
Ha ha ha! You may be right but Saint‐Saens requires a bit of innocence and freshness, two qualities that are not exactly these seasoned pianists' strongest points in their prime. To take one example, I admire Hamelin immensely but he's almost too smart for this concerto ; all the masters you mention have outstanding performances out there but imho, none have the charm Chamayou brings to this piece. Maybe it's the French touch, maybe Chamayou's interpretation suited my mood perfectly the day I played the video, who knows... 😃
Il va entrer dans la Legende....c est déjà un Monstre Délicatesse , précision , ténacité et endurance...il ré invente l interprétation Virtuose hors pair
In all my years of watching and listening to this concerto, I've never heard crispier notes. And everything's on time. Not to mention the intensity. It's beyond perfect.
One of my favorite concert pianist. Precise, elegant, technically phenomenal, and a superbly poetic interpreter. Check him playing Saint Sean Concert n.5 in Buenos Aires: breathtaking!!!
Bertrand Chamayou un pianista musicalmente y técnicamente exquisito. Maravillosas interpretaciones del concierto de Saint-Saëns al igual que los encores.
Piano maravillosamente tocado, solo un pequeño detalle: me gusta más el toque que le da Jean-Yves Thibaudet en el minuto 18 y 19. Te llega al alma. Puedes conseguirlo igualmente. Creo que es lo más sentimental de toda la pieza.

HALLUCINANTE prestation de Chamayou, à couper le souffle... Un grand merci pour avoir partagé cette Masterclass. :)
Wow, il pianista ha suonato il concerto in modo così chiaro con un bellissimo rubato 💐💐💐
Excelente y la Pavana memorable!!!!
I love this guy! Bertrand Chamayou is a new discovery and I am enchanted! ♥
He is one of the best young pianists. He is currently in his fourties’ and I like a lot of what he’s done. Did you listen to some of his recordings?
NOW I will! ♥@@MaScalo4508
His Mendelssohn album is outstanding!
French repertoire and musicians are so overlooked and very underestimated in US.
In all my years of watching and listening to this concerto, I've never heard crispier notes. And everything's on time. Not to mention the intensity. It's beyond perfect.
Don’t forget to check out the encores as well!
Beautiful example of the silvery precise French style at the service of one of the great pieces in the French piano repertoire. So fluid!

I love chamayou
