Outstanding performance as piano soloist, Alice. Clara would be so proud that you performed her composition so brilliantly along with the conductor and orchestra.

My daughter's second name is Clara, after Clara Schumann. What a beautiful performance this is, so intense and so soft at the same time❤️❤️❤️

First time listening to this concerto, it's beautiful... Amazing pianist, insane technique .. she left me speechless 😶

Clara Wieck Schumann era un genio...parecchia della musica del celebre marito Robert è stata scritta da lei . Concerto capolavoro questo dal sapore brahmsiano . Johannes e Clara se la intendevano, erano innamorati..non si sa se il vecchio Robert lo sapesse o meno immerso com' era nella sua ": schizofrenia" fra Florestano ed Eusebio...Brahms fu sempre discreto nel parlare del suo rapporto con Clara dopo la morte di Robert. I 3 tempi della forma concerto classico si fondono quasi a formare intenzionalmente un unico primo tempo di concerto che si regge su un equilibrio perfetto senza bisogno di un movimento intermedio e di un finale. Un respiro unico appassionato e conciso consegnato a un virtuosismo pianistico non fine a sé stesso.

Pur non essendo una pianista avverto una sensibilità e una bravura indiscutibile questo visto con il cuore. Le auguro tutto il meglio possibile

I have heard this lovely Concerto many times but Alise does a great job and full credit to her as well as the orchestra.

That was remarkably beautiful!!! A LOT of work too.

This is a really, really interesting, great piece. The first movement is dark, but also somehow stays shockingly light the entire time. I didn't even know you could do that with a piano, it's really cool. The second movement was so powerful it gave me the answers I was looking for after a strange day for a moment there and made me cry, and the third movement is just, like... Really great, man, I guess. Oh, and fantastic playing from the pianist too! As a pianist myself it was really impressive.

This is a wonderful work that is expressed expertly. This concerto deserves to be played.

Cuanta tristeza se siente al no poder agradecer la belleza, en su más alto grado, que proporciona la música así interpretada . Gracias infinitas Sra . Alice Burla .

[clevelandrandolph]

This lady is really good! She needs more recognition and more concerts on her schedule.

[ravivo]

One of my favorite Concertos, always make me cry. Thanks for the superb playing

[smebulock]

You should be very proud of this, so much talent on one stage

[PriscillaHarriman]

A truly wonderful performance! 💛 Sensitively and skillfully played. Thank you, Alice 💐

Outstanding performance - I wouldn't have known this was a youth orchestra! Alice, your playing is phenomenal; this is the first time I've heard Clara Schumann's piano concerto, and you performed it with such emotion and talent! I love Clara's work, and was directed here by reading Clemency Burton Hill's 'Another Year of Wonder' where she gives a new piece of classical music to listen to each day. Today is the anniversary of her death (20th May), and it's wonderful to see another young soloist playing as Clara would have done in her youth. Simply fantastic.
The second movement is sublime - the duet between piano and cellist; what a fantastic cellist! It would be lovely to have her credited as well; her playing is as good as any established cellist from an 'adult' orchestra.
Happy anniversary to Clara Schumann.

I’m so glad this concerto is finally making its way around Europe. I grew up in the 90’s in the USA, and it was pretty well known to us. Finally getting the renown it deserves in her homeland :) (or at least close to it)

Ik had dit concerto nog nooit gehoord maar wat een openbaring, prachtige muziek en een briljante vartolking van deze pianiste . Haar wacht een grote toekomst. Bravissimo!!!!

[alioli]

I'm not really into this type of music, but the passion you poured over each one of those piano keys, gave me goosebumps multiple times, the skill, emotion and dedication you're capable to express, im at awe.

Splendido concerto: sorprendente, coinvolgente! Un secondo movimento intriso di lirismo sognante e poetico. Un’esecuzione vibrante, appassionata, nonché tecnicamente impeccabile! Vivissime congratulazioni!
