I know not how to convey such notes, without feeling such emotion, truly the composers themselves would learn from their own notes. Such empathy is extraordinary. Thank you Khatia.

[PapadeElena]

This may be the most beautiful interpretation of the Mussorgsky I've ever heard. It was like hearing this piece for the first time. Truly magnificent. But I wish the audience would have been quieter; so much coughing and shuffling. People, stay at home if you're dying of emphysema/tuberculosis/COVID.

[jeffcharles]

Her dynamics are superb. That she know, intimately, every single little note, by heart, still blows my mind. Human perfection at ridiculous scale. Bravo, Khatia!

[plrndl]

Sublime. I anticipate frequent audition of this recital. I don't know how many (many) times I've heard "Pictures and an Exhibition", but it's never before made the impact that performance did.

[JV-gnpf]

Khatia truly is one of a kind. There's no-one else quite like her. I hope she can look after herself well - eat well, rest well, manage her finances well - so that her physical and spiritual strength can continue on the stage for a long time. She is a treasure that we don't want to see disappear quickly.

[sblank]

I could NEVER NEVER IMAGINE. ANTHING OR ANYONE SO BEAUT!

[bregning]

Jamen altså, den kvinde.
Hun har alt. Hun spiller fuldstændig fantastisk. Hun er smuk, intelligent, flittig, dygtig, lækker, varm og ser kærlig ud.
Det er helt vildt at noget menneske er begavet med så mange og store talenter.
En fryd og fornøjelse at se og høre.
Tak Khatia Buniatishvili :-)

[timothycoggins]

I feel blessed just to be alive at a time where I can hear her play. She makes my day better every time I hear her performances. May she live forever. What a treasure!

[johncopeland]

I have heard many, many times, conductor Arturo Toscanini's NBC orchestral rendition of Mussorsky's "Pictures" and many by conductors since, yet Khatia Buniatishvili is perfect to the note, the intonation, and the delivery of this masterpiece. Her performance is above reproach, in my mind as a professional musician. I am without any more words other than "magnificent"

[hrh]

To begin a recital with the most technically difficult work ever written for the piano is quite the statement. Practically supersedes the spectacular dress!

[jwright]

My God, what an incredible creature! Khatia is not from this world. Hailed from dimensions unknown where ascension so far superior to mortal man prevails. We shall meet someday and the pleasure shall be mine. But only after my Steinway Model C is finely tuned and properly situated. Think Italian Riviera.

[adelaeresamia]

Sublime Katia magnifique musique de piano qui me fait du bien merci.

[J_Zeus_XXVII]

This Lady is a Godess at the Piano. Exquisitely wonderful. Indisputable.

[waggawaggaful]

insane technique. it's such a treat to watch someone with this level of ability.

[jayperez]

Discovered Khatia over a month ago. Love her style and passion for classical music and how she interprets each piece on the piano.

[michelmuller]

le talent, la magie la grâce le charme, Un voyage... merci Khatia

[mjcs]

Everything about this performance and this performer feels like a fantasy. Watching her perform feels like falling in love.

[sofiasanchezmaestro]

I'm so glad that a woman like her is alive at the same time as me so I can enjoy her performances... They get to my soul... True artist!

[paulescudero]

Such a lovely and talented princess. How could you not love Khatia?

[Desireyso]

She's The One, the One and Only! The Beautiful and TALENTED Khatia! A gift from God to us!!!
