"Bach is an astronomer, discovering the marvelous stars, Beethoven challenges the universe. I only try to express the heart and soul of man." - Frederick Chopin

I wrote a comment on this video years ago. But I have to say it again. Olga Scheps has a gift from God. Her interpretation is unique and absolutely fantastic.!!!

How lucky are we to live in a world where talent such as this is readily available for all to see . For free .

I love the cute little smile on Olga's face when she knows it's 'just right'. ♥

This concerto takes me almost 30 years in the past, I was 18 years old, in love, suffering for a girl, working with my dad, listening many times to this concerto and thinking of her. Every time I listen this concerto brings me tears, I miss that time, I miss my parents, I was very happy and yet, I didnt know It

I fell asleep at my computer today and woke up to this....about a minute into the performance...so started it at the beginning.
Every note, every pluck, pause and passage is incredibly thought out and delivered to the eardrum. I'm a fan of all different types of music...but is so much more than music. I can't describe it....

I was watching Olga's hands moving across the piano keyboard at the end of her performance and I had been struck at the sheer exquisite complexity of her fingers striking the keys to play her performance, the speed, the incredible complexity of what she had been doing with her hands to create her beautiful music, and just what that meant, the endless hours of relentless practising at her piano through the years for her to be able to play with the ease and grace that she had been able to play at the piano in this video of her performance with the orchestra.

She looked so relaxed. I've never seen anyone look like they're having so much fun. She was so in the zone and comfortable in this video.

The sound of this live recording is impeccable.

[lizmuir]

Watching her is like witnessing ballet and piano playing at the same time. A very sensitive player. Truly lovely

[DearMark]

This girl's smile is hypnotic. Most pianists look in pain while showing emotion. I have listened to this piece played by many for the past 50 years and Olga gets my vote. I just listened to the Chopin winners playing this piece -- I think she would have won hands down.

Such a small orchestra for this piano concerto and yet so rich in sound. Exquisite. ❤️

[katiesethna]

One of the finest piano concertos, one of the finest pianists, and one of the finest conductors. Total happiness!

[wenkaiyang]

I consider it a lifelong privilege to attend a concert like this in person.

From all the millions of YT videos... this is my favorite. A gem.

[bradforddrake]

I agree..Chopin was from another music is extradimensional! His music really touches our heart and soul!

[olivierdemones]

Mais qu'est-ce qui me fait tant vibrer, cette admirable musique de Chopin ou cette superbe interprétation d'Olga Scheps? C'est vraiment magnifique à écouter et un bienfait à ceux qui aiment la Grande Musique ! Merci pour ce partage!

[lamcy]

The best part about the performance is that she looks like she enjoys every single second of it

[MrMalvolio]

That second movement: my God it thrills through my soul, touches me profoundly, *kills* me with each sublime note Scheps tenderly, passionately elicits from the piano…

[bernardomedina]

Ms. Scheps kills me with her Artistry, & Infinite Beauty.... Moved me to tears....Chopin would be most proud....❤❤
