  • Khatia Buniatishvili, Neeme Järvi and the Verbier Festival Orchestra perform Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30 at the Verbier Festival in 2011.
    Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873 - 1943) wrote his third Piano Concerto in 1909 at the Ivanovka country estate 550 kilometers south east of Moscow. Rachmaninoff spent the summer months here from 1890 until his emigration to the US in 1917. The three movements of the piece recall the structure of typical solo concerts of the Romantic era. Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30 was premiered by the New York Symphony Orchestra on November 28, 1909 in New York, conducted by Walter Damrosch. Rachmaninoff, who had been practicing the concert on a silent piano during his Atlantic voyage, played the solo part himself.
    As a child, pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, born in 1987 in Tblisi, Georgia, was considered a wunderkind. She began to play the piano at the age of three and gave her first concert with the Tblisi concert orchestra at the age of six. International performances followed when she was ten. In 2008, she gave her US debut at New York’s Carnegie Hall. Since then, Buniatishvili has been regularly invited to many high-profile festivals and has given concerts in the world’s most renowned concert halls, for instance at Vienna’s Musikverein, at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and at the Berlin Philharmonic. She has won the highly respected Echo Classic Award twice.
    The Verbier Festival is one of the most prestigious classical music events in the world. The quality of the participating artists as well as the originality of the programs have established the festival as a highlight of the music season. It takes place for two weeks in late July and early August in the mountain resort of Verbier, in Switzerland.

    I've been playing piano, classically trained, for almost 30 years. I believe I have earned the right to have an opinion as to the "greatness" of a pianist. Khatia is an incredibly gifted and passionate pianist whose interpretation of Rach 3 is refreshing. People who criticize either do not truly know or understand music from the perspective of the pianist or they are just cruel and jealous of the talent others possess.
    Many people may think people are merely born with a gift. Yes it's true there MUST be a certain amount of raw, natural talent involved - this is obvious - but what people don't see are the thousands and thousands of hours one practices to achieve greatness. It's a discipline most are never willing or capable of achieving. So a word to "critics"....once you are honestly able to say you spent your childhood, teen years, and many adult years hovering over a keyboard of other musical instrument, playing until your hands hurt, wanting to stop yet can't stop because the passion that compels you to play exceeds any physical pain or social price you pay for missing out on many things..hen you can have a platform and a right to criticize a true musician.
    Until then, you need to be very careful. When one lays their hands on a musical instrument to play in front of others- they are actually laying their soul bare to show the world. It's a vulnerability few can ever understand and certainly something small minded people can not respect.

      agreed, these people are true artists, to compare, to critique, to denigrate those who stand up in front of the cameras and public to expose their talent, is in my view an insult. These are true passionate musicians; or better they weather the critique in the name of their passion. Maybe they are not the best in history, but they are following a passion. RESPECT please.

      Hate to burst your bubble, Bob, but all professional pianists who perform on stage, have the standard concerti under their fingers. Not knowing the score requires an explanation, typically. Scores are necessary for people playing work publicly for the first time, for concerti that are relatively rare, or some other circumstance. The movie would have you believe that David Helfgott was a savant. Performing pianists have practiced the standards since they were seven years old. And they may practice 6 hours a day. Horowitz was an exception: he hardly ever practiced. But for the most part, professional pianists, violinists, or whatever, know all their own standards, which Rach 3 is. Don't listen to me--look it up

      THE GUARDIAN classical music Wigmore Hall, London Andrew Clements Thursday 2 April 2015 12.28 BST "The jury is out whether Buniatishvili can ever be a serious artist after a shapeless Pictures at an Exhibition and Liszt as a low - grade circus act." ... Her programme - Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition and a sequence of Liszt - was clearly designed for effect, and to have her fans on their feet and cheering at the end; predictably, they obliged. Pictures, though, had no shape at all, with the slower movements ponderously slow - Il Vecchio Castello was interminable - and faster ones lightning fast, so that they became trivialised, and Buniatishvili kicked up such a storm in The Hut on Fowl’s Legs that the dramatic effect of the segue into the final Great Gate of Kiev, one of the clinching moments in the whole work, was fatally undermined. That tendency to extremes - the thinking that ever faster, ever louder, is automatically the best way to go - ran through the Liszt pieces too. Three studies from different sets, La Leggierezza, Feux Follets and La Campanella, at least allowed everyone to admire the pearly evenness of Buniatishvili’s fingering, but apart from a rather unconvincing Liebesträume to begin, around them were pieces that encouraged her to be as noisy as possible: the first Mephisto Waltz (not insidious, just rowdy), the Grand Galop Chromatique (turned into a low-grade circus act) and the second Hungarian Rhapsody - played, of course, in Vladimir Horowitz’s version, which adds tweaks and further elaborations to Liszt’s original. The good news is that the piano survived it all intact; the bad is that on the question of whether Buniatishvili can ever be a serious artist, the jury is very much still out.

Both performances are on YT and well worth checking out. You can never have too many Rach 3s!

The snootiness and snark about how “loud” she plays is telling of the bastions of classical players and their audiences, who seem to take one another way too seriously. She’s forgotten more than most will ever learn. And her passion for the pieces she chooses to entertain us with is unparalleled. An absolute genius in her own world. Instead of attempting to fault her for her individualism, we should be applauding her absolute mastery of the form. Bravo! But, what do I know? I’ve only learned enough to have played punk on guitar for decades now.

C'est un produit pour divertir sexuellement la foule et gagner de l'argent pour le manager! Tout ce qu'elle dit est préparé et rendu par la grande équipe derrière elle! En France et en Europe, il existe des dizaines de pianistes de la plus haute classe, mais ils ne montreront pas leurs seins et d'autres parties du corps sur scène.

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 by Jay Nordlinger, New York City " 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. ... "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." ..." Or maybe this is just how she plays. I shall not be keen to hear her again. ..." ... THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS Scott Cantell ..."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." ... THE FINANCIAL TIMES Ltd 2014 06.06.2014 THE GUARDIAN classical music Wigmore Hall, London Andrew Clements Thursday 2 April 2015 12.28 BST ...The good news is that the piano survived it all intact; the bad is that on the question of whether Buniatishvili can ever be a serious artist, the jury is very much still out.

      Nicht, weil sie konkret schlecht spielen würde, dafür ist die Georgierin viel zu begabt und viel zu sehr eine Gefühlsriesin, beides schon ziemlich gute Voraussetzungen für ein Leben mit und für Musik. Sie weiß also, was sie tut und genau so, was sie lässt. Und wahrscheinlich noch viel besser, wie unmittelbar das auf ihre Fan-Gemeinde wirkt. Was tatsächlich und viel mehr so deutlich nervt, ist dieses Übermaß an gewollter, forcierter und unnötig verfremdender Eigenwilligkeit, mit der sie sich ihr jeweiliges Konzept-Repertoire zurechtschmust und manche wehrlose Stücke knietief ins Kitschige treibt.

      @@georgescancan7503 Sorry there George but I simply can`t agree with you. She is free to wear what she may and act as she wants so long as she can deliver the goods, And boy, does Khatia do just this. What an incredible performance. Pure mastery of her technique is simply not something one is born with,. She, and of course the conductor and orchestra, have invested a tremendous amount of hard work into preparing this concerto and it has certainly paid off. Thank you all for a divine concert.

    The wonderful dryness of the acoustic..not to mention sensational playing from the orchestra work beautifully with Ms Buniatishvili's beautiful almost pedal-less articulation. Excellent sound, with much solid weight in the low brass and string basses.This is really a wonderful performance..in the most beautifully balanced way. The partnership of Meastro Järvi and the pianist is a joy. A no nonsense Ossia cadenza, with much propulsion, and less fiddly than many. I'll keep it short here. more maybe next time.This is very fine music making, and worth several visits back. Thanks for posting, DW.

      ??? Paris 2022 khatia buniatishvili:
      Buniatishvili est vulgaire dans tout, dans son comportement sur la scène, dans son habillement dans la scène, dans son pianisme! C'est un produit pour divertir sexuellement la foule et gagner de l'argent pour le manager! Tout ce qu'elle dit est préparé et rendu par la grande équipe derrière elle! En France et en Europe, il existe des dizaines de pianistes de la plus haute classe, mais ils ne montreront pas leurs seins et d'autres parties du corps sur scène. Par conséquent, la route vers la scène est fermée pour eux! Nous pouvons dire avec une certitude absolue: dans le secteur du concert, la mafia est active et cette vidéo en est la preuve!

      Die georgische Pianistin spielte ein Recital in der Laeiszhalle, das zu harmlos schön war, um letztlich gut zu sein. Die Kritik.
      ... Aber als Interpretin, man muss es wohl so deutlich schreiben und erklären, nervt sie oft und sehr.
      Nicht, weil sie konkret schlecht spielen würde, dafür ist die Georgierin viel zu begabt und viel zu sehr eine Gefühlsriesin, beides schon ziemlich gute Voraussetzungen für ein Leben mit und für Musik. Sie weiß also, was sie tut und genau so, was sie lässt. Und wahrscheinlich noch viel besser, wie unmittelbar das auf ihre Fan-Gemeinde wirkt. Was tatsächlich und viel mehr so deutlich nervt, ist dieses Übermaß an gewollter, forcierter und unnötig verfremdender Eigenwilligkeit, mit der sie sich ihr jeweiliges Konzept-Repertoire zurechtschmust und manche wehrlose Stücke knietief ins Kitschige treibt. Oder andere, auch nicht schön, kurz und klein donnert ...

    Her charm is the icing on a very complex and extraordinary musical talent. Just finished listening to rendition of the previous Liszt. Her fingers travel the keyboard at light speed. I challenges the limit of what are the limits of speed, precision and musical expression.
