I am her fans. But yes this is not as good as expected from her. Especially the easier parts. She has played this song many years ago in curtis, and that performance is way better in my opinion. I know it sounds impossible, but added to the fact that she uses a score this time and not when she played years ago in curtis, i actually believe she had, (in her frentic schedule with way too many songs and flights to cope with and not enough pianos to be found on the road), half forgotten this piece, and only have the virtuoso parts intact. She is essentially re-sightreading on stage the rest of the piece. That said, to be able to half sightread even an old song and a song as technically demanding as this, says a lot about how great and solid her artistry is. And it takes a whole different level of confidence and down to earth attitude and a real love for music sharing, for someone at her level and status, to agree to playing something in front of an audience when she wasnt 100% prepared and in top form. I have seen videos of her playing causally to an audience in the backstage, and playing casually while teaching a master class when, like she said herself, she dont know the notes (not dont know but simply have forgotten, i guess) Its awe-inspiring the way she, with all her fame, can play absolutely freely without pressure or stress. She is an example of what it takes to be an artist. Think about it, the real reason she is able to play less than stellar sometimes (when compared to pianist at her level, not when compared to me, of course haha) is because she had a real audience, instead of a bunch of critics. People go to hear her play beacause of how she plays it. Not how well she play it. They simply want to hear her play, perfect or otherwise. Because they love the way she play and that is all that matters. And that level of devotion is difficult to achieve, even if with mini skirts. Listen to many more of her songs. And the way she play chopin concerto 2 when she was only 7, like a real genius. Even at just 7 years old she has a maturity and musicality that cannot be taught. I have heard many prodigies but she is a whole other level. And listen to her interviews. You will find that she is a real artist. And, despite the miniskirts, a bookish intellectual.

I listen to a pianist playing Tchaikovsky in order to hear the music, not to look at the pianist's wardrobe.

Mic her.

@@zenmasterx All of them have microphones. So this is the fault of the person running the sound system. On the stage, I bet the balance is perfect.

And what did you say when the illegitimate (puppet) government of Ukraine was shelling the ethnic Russians in the Donbass for 8 years straight? Read the history, you'll find Banderist Ukraine had it coming, and more. They made themselves the useful idiots of a proxy war, sacrificing all their young men to the madness of the treacherous West. Ukraine is a lesson to the world. Don't trust the USA, Britain, France, Germany, etc. They are not your friends.
