Wonderful playing by both pianists! Thanks Mariam and Nino!

Why don't we have the whole concert? Either post something completely, or don't publish it at all.

Ma il recital della Batsashvili? dov'è?

Why list the pieces on the "program" when only a portion of them are on the video? There's a certain lack of truthfulness in doing this. It's as though we're being manipulated into listening to 𝑵𝒊𝒏𝒐 𝑮𝒗𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒅𝒛𝒆. I didn't have the patience to listen to anything following the Chopin. But her playing of the Bach sounded as though it had been put on valium to the point one could've mistaken it for new age music. The Chopin showed a lack of understanding of which notes in a measure to place the emphasis on. The performance in general lacked ebb and flow and showed a lack of understanding of how to build climaxes effectively.
