Every thing with MA is so clear. No "noise" in the sound. She never plays dynamically beyond where it sounds good. Perhaps less virtuosic than others but I`d rather hear this.
An inappropriate comment by the man from the Warsaw Chopin competition, when he implied that the F minor Chopin concerto was somehow not in the same class as the E minor concerto, really annoyed me... considering Daniel Ratinov was playing the F minor in the very session he was presenting and more. especially since, as we know that the F minor concerto was originally written before the E minor, I found it a wonderful choice on Ratinov's part to couple the Polonaise Fantasy in A flat major op 61 with the A flat second movement of the F minor, highlighting Chopin's particular attachment to the key of A flat major, his personal nickname for his closest friend Tytus Woyciechowski.
I didn’t find his comment even remotely inappropriate. He shared a lighthearted anecdote about a superstition that only a player who chooses the E minor piano concerto wins the competition-a notion that has held true historically, if you look at the competition’s past. He didn’t undermine Anthony’s choice of final piece at all; in fact, quite the opposite. He seemed genuinely pleased that we had players selecting the F minor concerto this year. Anthony delivered a fantastic performance, and I hope the jury acknowledges this tomorrow. He and William Ge are my two favorites.
What can one expeft with 1 Day of rehearsal, 3 different interps, with hobbyist/semi pro's. Not everyone can have a world-class Symphony orchestra at their disposal.
@@biffii5568You don't need a world-class orchestra. A decent one is enough to play this accompaniment. One,or two players out of tune, it is enough to ruin the performance
That was so epic! All the finalists were amazing!
what beautiful and great concept. to engage everyone watching this video. Thank you Ben💗
William Ge blends in with the orchestra as one, love it

Ma = equlibrium and perfection
I loved every single performance! I aspire to be just as good...or close. LOL
Lmao it took 8 seconds into the first performance for someone's phone to ring.
52:25 Please give a hand for the clipboard!
You may want to cut the first minute of the video 😬
😂😂😂
First 15, you mean 😂

Technically, the sound of the orchestra was poor. And the intonation..hmm? Pity
