Allll that $$$ spent on years of lessons! Well done Mom & Dad! And lovely Maria for all those years of practice practice practice. Beautiful music. Beautiful person ❤
She is so well rounded! She hides her vast talent as seeming an average girl next door type, so modest & unassuming. A quick witty sense of humor also! I think she has more talents, we're yet unaware of!
I’m so enthralled watching her play. She’s so exacting in her movements. Not one millimeter out of place. And her interpretations are very sensitive too. Truly superb.
It's because you came to LaLande that we found out what a wonderful pianist you are, Maria. We are so glad you came because you've given so many people pleasure with your wonderful playing, and we now know you are also a wonderful creative cook as well.
I love that a few of the piano keys are shabby, the warmth of the lights glowing off the old walls, the serious pianist Maria making beautiful music. We know you are all pitching in to keep your commitments to us the viewers in the midst of all the untimely setbacks. It makes each of these videos all the more precious, they’re truely made in the spirit of Christmas gifts and it is not lost on us.
Just magical. Have never enjoyed hearing this piece more than Maria's playing. Almost like hearing it for the first time. Thank you, Maria! It was enchanting!
Maria has really made my day with her wonderful rendition of Tchiavosky's beautiful Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. How marvellous to hear it on the chateau's magnificent grand piano. What an extreme treat. Thank you so very much, Maria.
Maria is a delightful, full of talent addition to LaLande. Just listening to her playing the piano is wonderful, then she does everything and anything around the chateau. You must keep her there , we’d miss her terribly if she left 🎄🎄🎄❤️
Immense applause from the crowd ensues... a standing ovation by others... rousing shouts of bravo... as Maria smiles brightly, she stands and takes a bow, as she gestures thank you to all, and to all, a Merry Christmas.
Wow! That was really beautifully played and I loved every second of it. Maria is such a multi-talented individual but also such a sweet heart with a great sense of humour. Love her to bits!
Beautiful! Brava! 👏. Maria is beautiful. The setting is beautiful. The song is beautiful. What pleasure you LeLander’s give to us! I’m so grateful. Thank you.
Music feeds the soul. We are well fed. Please could we have Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring and Moonlight Sonata? Maria would suit these pieces beautifully. Well played Maria.
Maria just plays beautifully ..so talented and so pleasant to be around ..just love her how outgoing she is and just ready to pitch in..help wherever she needed.. totally enjoyed this tonight ..💞😊🇨🇦👍sending love to u all.🎄💫🎶🎶🎄😊💞💕
Hi Steph, I noticed some of the keys on the piano are missing their ivory facings. These can easily and cheaply be replaced as most piano tuners / repairers have a collection of old vintage keys and facings. Respect to Maria!
I got some replaced for £5 per key. It would be beneficial for your musical recitals / workshops etc : ) Greetings from Scotland -7 degrees and sheepskin jackets : )
Here in the US it is difficult to find real ivory for replacements. Ivory was banned in the 1960's so one needs to find an old piano that may be going to the dumps to salvage the real ivory keys. Pianos now are all made with plastic white keys.
@@uscitizen898 yes only vintage antique ivory which has been harvested from an old piano can be used. Most piano technicians have a large collection of harvested parts which they have collected over many years.
Incredible and beautiful!! Was that all playing from memory!?!?! 😮it didn’t appear that she even glanced at the music sheets!! WOWO!! So impressive and lovely to listen to! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!! ❤️❤️❤️
OH that was so very lovely! Thank you so much Maria for sharing your talent with us, as it is uplifting and heartwarming! Hope you are enjoying your time away and feeling relaxed for the holiday season. Merry Christmas to you! 🎅
Wow, so talented. I really really enjoyed Maria's playing. It was like being there, I could curl up on a chaise with a glass of bubbly and listen all night.❤
How is it one person gets soooo much talent?....I thought she was a marvolus cook, creating masterpieces in the kitchen.....and then...she does this!!!!
I hope Maria’s parents know how much joy her presence brings to us, the RUclips audience. She is an amazing person, so talented and so delightful.
With a fabulous sense of humor as well. ❤
I totally agree with you!!! She is amazingly Wonderful, talented in many ways and ever so kind with a lovely sense of humor! I just love her!❤️
Also agree! Keri💜
Allll that $$$ spent on years of lessons! Well done Mom & Dad! And lovely Maria for all those years of practice practice practice. Beautiful music. Beautiful person ❤
Wow, Maria is such a treasure both in the kitchen and at the piano! What a talent! 👏🏻
She is so well rounded! She hides her vast talent as seeming an average girl next door type, so modest & unassuming. A quick witty sense of humor also! I think she has more talents, we're yet unaware of!
She is magnificent in the kitchen you are right as with her music.
She plays, she cooks, she is funny, she is pretty amazing.
Maria's talents seems neverending!!!! Wow
That was amazing, thank you for sharing your immense talent with us Maria.
Immense talent-indeed. Makes me tear up a bit when she plays.
I’m so enthralled watching her play. She’s so exacting in her movements. Not one millimeter out of place. And her interpretations are very sensitive too. Truly superb.

AMAZING I could listen to Maria play the piano ALL day she is SO SO talented
Just magical. Have never enjoyed hearing this piece more than Maria's playing. Almost like hearing it for the first time. Thank you, Maria! It was enchanting!
NOW it feels like Christmas.
Lovely
What a talent. She cannot leave Lalande...
Wow she should be in a concert hall playing! Fantastic Maria
Maria looks and sounds magical!
Magnifique. An international woman of talent and mystery!
Maria’s talent knows no bounds! It is such a blessing to have the opportunity to see so many kind and talented people!❤
It was beautiful!! Could Maria play for us once a week please?
That's asking alot. You understand how many years she's put into playing? I know it's meant as a compliment but doesnt necessarily sound like one.
yes please!
@@gnarbeljo8980 That's a very strange comment.
And get your ivories replaced, Lalande - those bare keys hurt!
@@kmarch6630 Not at all. If you care about the artist whos work you appreciate, think again.
Maria has really made my day with her wonderful rendition of Tchiavosky's beautiful Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. How marvellous to hear it on the chateau's magnificent grand piano. What an extreme treat. Thank you so very much, Maria.
It’s hard to believe only 10 fingers could play all those notes! And in the right order, magic!❤
Very lovely 🎶
How beautiful. What a special treat to hear Maria playing with a sparkling Christmas tree in the background! Thank you, Maria! Merry Christmas!
Beautiful! The music, the tree, the room - so much talent in one place.
Maria is a delightful, full of talent addition to LaLande. Just listening to her playing the piano is wonderful, then she does everything and anything around the chateau. You must keep her there , we’d miss her terribly if she left 🎄🎄🎄❤️
MARIA IS ONE AMAZINGLY TALENTED HUMAN BEING!👏👏👏👏👏🥇🏆🎆

You all makes this so special for us! Thank-you!
Maria speaks English perfectly and plays the piano beautifully. And she has a lovely personality.
Maria has so many outstanding talents. I hope she returns to the chateau next year.
Maria, in one word: beautifull! In another: gorgeous!!! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
She plays beautifully and looks stunning in that light!

Maria is a very multitalented lady. Beautifully done.
Stephanie, you must sing this year! You never sing enough as far as I'm concerned. ❤❤❤
I totally agree. I would love to hear Stephanie sing more.
This brings so many memories from time when I was dancing in Nutcracker in Czech National Theatre as a student of Ballet Conservatoire.

Bravooooo!!! She sounds like a beautiful orchestra! I always get goose bumps listening. What a pleasure, thank you Maria!
