Older pianists with their big ideas can get in the way of the music, while the 11-year old Aimi here gives us Mozart with total clarity and truth of emotion. Astounding, beautiful playing.
So true, Benny Hill. And many a great visual artist has struggled to paint like a child. We should think deep about what we formulate for children from primary school onwards.
Thankyou Ira, that's both a disturbing and encouraging editorial. Looking back, I question now what my UK state school was up to, particularly in the history and literature it chose to ignore. We got our two children to a Steiner school - far more humane, with hands-on science and well performed music every day.
Thank you, Howard, yes - it is so truth. To not discuss our USSR schooling, we got our six boys in Steiner in Italy, British , then Montessori in USA, then again British in Bangkok and International here in the Bahamas, at the end since 2010 we are homeschooling - the experiment is going, hope to see them blooming as well your kids too! The Steiner for sure is the best. Compliments! In the Steiner schools they are choosing to educate with love, which is most, not to discipline and obey.. the rest will found the way.
Wonderful, Ira! You will be proud of your boys (six of them!) and they will thank you for your love and care. Our two are now in their thirties - successful, responsible, happy, popular, musical, self-reliant, honest and still very creative. And they have remained friends with many of their classmates.
She knew what she had to do and went for it. She obviously had the determination, spirit and work ethic as well as musicality to become a concert pianist of some note at eleven.
She entered Chopin Competition in 2015 She just won 4th prize in 2021 Chopin. Congratulations! For 2021, 500 people entered initially. Just amazing to become one of 7 finalists!!
If you enjoyed this amazing performance, you have something to look forward to if you haven't already discovered Cristeny's channel devoted to Amy. There are of course other videos of Amy and other internet platforms where she can be heard , as well as her recent Chopin competition performances. Amy is not just a musician but an artist. I hope she and her husband, the remarkable pianist and conductor, Kyohei Sorita will be happy and make beautiful music together (sorry, I couldn't resist saying that which is a corny idiomatic expression in the USA!) Truly, they are my favorite and one of the world's most profoundly gifted musical couples.
Being eleven years old and playing like this. This super talent not only strikes every note note properly.She fully understands the nature of Mozart's music she is playing. Her soul involved in the way she is playing. Just AMAZING..:-)
astoundingly exquisite. Makes you realize the incredible talent possible in a human being - and such a young one - but it only occurs once in several billion of us.
Could that be because billions of us throw our lives and talent away by putting our effort and time into meaningless exercises like scrolling on our telephones?
I could watch, and listen to Aimi's playing for ever; her fingers flows so naturally, effortlessly and beautifully over the piano keyboard. She has added something extra to Mozart's work!
Nice to see her smile @16.46 on, I have been watching Aimi for the past 5 years now, never get tired watching her playing, she's just so amazing, I wish we 'd see more video of her now !….♥
if you only hear the music and not see her play.. it could be any mega piainst. its so fantastic.. im touched to tears......if kids can play piano like this.. why cant they rule the world too.. maybe the world would be a better and funnier place to live in.....
+Pelle wallin Some of the kids are those junior high bullies that used to beat me up. But I am pleasantly surprised by how good this is, and plan to follow her career.
ok my friend....am so sorry to hear that!.... i was also bullied in school...but i realized that those kids that was on me, they themself where miserable and unhappy ones..also i think that these children playing like this is maybe too bullied and pushed by their parents. deprived of a normal childhood and forced to exercise day out day in..
You are right, all over the civilized world. The rightly civilized world. But it is kind of shrinking these days. It horrifies me to think of it... IF you know what I mean...
I can't agree more with you. The civilized world is collapsing and it is being destroyed from within. Those who has inherited this civilized world is not guarding it properly.
This beautiful little girl is very gifted. She plays with a silken touch and feels the music very deeply. There is a sense of warmth to her playing that is mesmerizing. Hope her parents are encouraging her to write music. Who knows, she could be the next Mozart..God knows we need one.
The 2nd movement - 14:28 is to die for. The wailing notes waft into it so delightfully. Thank you Miss Aimi Kobayashi and Mozart and all the fabulous Musicians, for making me happy.
@@minoriruba1828 Either a child has a passion for an activity or they don't. You can destroy a passion for an activity in a child by beating a child but you can not create a passion for an activity in a child by beating a child. My monster of a father tried to create a passion for restoring classic and antique automobiles in me by beating me and he completely and utterly failed. Before my monster of a father tried to create a passion for restoring classic and antique automobiles in me by beating me I was extremely interested in restoring classic and antique automobiles. Once my monster of a father began to attempt to create passion for restoring classic and antique automobiles in me by beating me I began to lose my interest in restoring classic and antique automobiles. I now absolutely and utterly hate the idea of restoring classic and antique automobiles.
I so love from childhood the Mozart's 27 piano concertos. And Aimi is just wonderful, her touch is so light, gentle, delicate!! First thing I noticed after hearing other pianists and main difference. it feels like it is Mozart's spirit playing through her, she is so surrendered, completely effortless. Best performance of this lovely coronation concerto.
Aimi has such a high lift to her fingers, it seems quite unusual for a pianist in these times. But even at the young age she is in this video, her artistry and intensity and grace, and so on and on is very plain to see and hear. Such musical prodigies are no less than living miracles for so many of us listeners.
Extraordinary performance ! and without a score. Aged just 11yrs old... Wow ! Look at her face, it's almost transcendent during some of the playing... .
Just unbelievably fab, how such a young pianist was so thoroughly immersed. I felt she wasn't the pianist any longer, I felt she was the music itself. A present day "Mozart" with such finesse. Thank you so much Aimi Kobayashi ...
@flouz2 Aimi has played in many countries since Russia, Austria, Poland, France, Italy, and many more, United States, She was born September 23 1995, She started piano at the age of 3 and gave her first international debut recital at the age of 9 ♫,….now student at Curtis, Aimi has been accepted to the Curtis Institute of Music and will be studying there for her undergraduate degree! , Aimi is contributing to the soudtrack of a Japanese film called "Atomic Bomb Home." ♫, Mozart Piano Concerto no. 26 "Coronation" played at Svetlanov Hall (Moscow International House of Music), Moscow, with Vladimir Spivakov conducting the Moscow Virtuosi. The concert was a part of the Christmas concerts and specially called "The evening with Mozart" and held on 24th December 2006. As an encore she played Chopin's 1st Impromptu.

Aimi is 11 years old here and this is her the first orchestral debut abroad. ... TV credit: TV Kultura
This concerto was the theme music of the German language program on TV in Japan long ago.I heard many versions of this piece. She is mature beyond her age. She has a talent to design her music.
Köszönöm,hogy részese lehettem ennek az előadásnak,hogy a fiatal tehetséget meghallgathattam,Köszönöm,nagy élmény volt,és Mozart zenéje és a tehetség maradandót hoztak létre! :-) -és Köszönöm az egész zenekarnak a Karmesterrel együtt ezt a szép előadást!
To see her little fingers flitting across the keyboard, so delicately yet with strength when needed, is amazing. A truly gifted young pianist. The world has another star to enjoy for years to come.
Aimi, as usual, is splendid but the experience of watching the video is also made wonderful by the obvious love of music and playful attitude of maestro Vladimir Spivakov. A great performance by a fabulous pianist. a talented and youthful orchestra and a great conductor.
Aimi is my favorite pianist. And that's at any age. I've been listening to Mozart piano concerti for 60 years and this is such a delight. So beautiful.
RU-vid has to be the most amazing and humbling of places. What has happened that there are so many of these brilliant true musicians at such a young age? Such clarity of technique and phrases and emotion.
Gary Schmidt You should hear her now at 19 yo. Check out the 2015 International Chopin Competition. She is a virtuoso with feeling. I think she may actually be one of the top contender for 1st place even though this year's talent is the deepest I've ever seen in a major classical piano competition.
Vette gaddia Yes, I saw that. Her performance stood out well above even all that amazing talent at the Chopin. Definitely a top contender but then again it is astounding the level of talent at the Chopin competition this year.
This small girl is not just playing the notes of Mozart’s piano concerto but she puts her heart and soul into the music and is able to transmit.and bring out the lyrical beauty and passion of this beautiful Mozart piano concerto.
Oh my Dear Lord...i thought that Alexander Malofeev was an absolutely unbeaten genius...now I am not sure...but anyway, (comparisons could be uncharitable at times); in my humble opinion, both in their great styles are musically superb; they are worth of all our attention and support. GREAT AIMI and ALEXANDER!!!
She gets it! Her phrasing is rich with expression. Each note is thoughtful. It's hard to play Mozart well, but she has truly captured the essence of the music. She is in command.
No words can describe the magnificence of the emotion she gets out of the piano. What a blessing to listen to this beautiful music. Thank you Aimi, God bless you!
Breathtaking! Splendid way beyond words. What a gift. Such melodic joy and from someone so young. One can almost taste this magnificent music - 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💗🌺
Aimi Kobashi did a superb piano rendering at Mozart’s Piano Concerto 26 on December 24,2006 at the Svetlanov Halll, Moscow International House of Music. With effortless lithe expression, she performed with a congenial suave memory, her fingers dancing gracefully on the ivory keys to with the marvelous support of the orchestra conducted by Vladimir Spinakov! Bravo! Congratulations! Thank you for adding this concerto to the list of classical entertainment! I love you. God bless you abundantly!
Absolutely astonishing performance. Thank you soooo very much my lovely Estonian friend for taking the time to share this incredible clip. The first time I have seen it, and of course it goes immediately into my 'Brilliant Aimi' Playlist... How she was able to be such an unbelievably capable talent at 11 years of age is a mystery, but seeing is believing. Thank you again Christina. It was fantastic to see some more of our Star performer. Lots of Love. Lalita
¡ QUÉ TALENTO, QUÉ FRASEO, QUÉ EXPRESIVIDAD Y QUÉ MUSICALIDAD, UN PRODIGIO; LO IMAGINO A MOZART EN ÉSA EDAD !!! CON UN CONCIERTO COMO ÉSTE ES REALMENTE UNA MARAVILLA Y UN PLACER.- ¡ BRAVO A TODOS !!! ¡ UN LUJO !!! ...
The little things she does like rubato for example just can't be taught. Her feeling is just superb to be so young. Wow! Her future is bright. Something tells me her teacher is more like a guide who simply awakens the gifts she already has possession of.

Obligé de saluer le talent de cette jeune fille,comme le l'ai fait pourYeol Eum Son que j'ai admirée dans l'interprétation des concertos n° 21 et 26 de Moezart ! Quel talent chez ces jeunes musiçiennes et aussi quel travail pour arriver à cette perfection! Bravo et Merçi !
Fantastico!! Como le saca notas a ese piano.....nena Aimi Dios te guarde por siempre; y Mozart desde el cielo te escucha...... tu maravillosa obra para oidos exquisitos.
Chega a ser emocionante ver esta menina tocar com toda essa arte. A palavra é arte mesmo. Ela tem arte. Ela não toca apenas bem, ela toca com pura arte. È uma escolhida da música, como foi Mozart. Pessoas assim são parte da música, nasceram com ela dentro do coração.
....lovely playing, just lovely. AK seems one with Wolfgang Amadeus! Perhaps Mozart's spirit returned to inspire the playing! Ak's playing is exceptional on several levels.
A very talented young lady, someone comment, shes been following her for five years, i agree this wonderful pianists is worth keeping a eye on, kinda reminds me of Yuja Wang, however all great pianists start out as child prodigies!! thank you, Peace
Beautifully played filmed and presented. The sound quality is superb. What a shame we could not have filmed Amira Willighagen's performance at London's Royal Albert Hall to a similar standard. She deserved a proper film crew.
Sembra incredibile che una ragazzina di 11 anni possa arrivare a tale perfezione di esecuzione.! Ha un Tema astrologico di vigore e di dolcezza, uniti ad una attitudine speciale nei dettagli forniti proprio dalle sue mani, quindi questo è il felice risultato. Non mi stanco mai di ascoltare questo brano di Mozart e l'interpretazione perfetta di Aimi. Felicità e successo abbia sempre!
