Yet another Ondine (Live this time)

[nortti]

This is a live recording from a competition I participated in January. The day before they gave a whole five (5) minutes to test the piano so quite a lot of my concentration went to calibrating my technique during the performance..

Well, I have to blame SOMEthing...

You have to blame something.. for WHAT?! You play it really well! Are you playing the other two mvts as well?

Whose recordings of this have you listened to? And which ones do you like?

Have you listened to Cecille Oussett's recording? Would be interested to know what you think of it.

Very good. Thanks for sharing!

I did some really annoying mistakes.
I'm not playing the others yet, but I will some day :}

I've heard many (not Oussett's; maybe you could send it..?). Michelangeli, Pogorelich, Argerich and François come to mind immediately. I like all of those though I remember liking Michelangeli's version especially, but it's been a long time since I heard it..

Very well played. Thanks for letting us hear it.

Sounds great!  What competition was this?

This is a great recording  even more so considering you say you only had 5 minutes beforehand on the piano to get used to it.

Speaking of recordings... you should listen to Louis Lortie's Ondine. It's my favourite interpretation.. possibly surpassing even Argerich.

well done again

Just a national (Finnish) competition for music students not studying at the Sibelius Academy.

-- you say you only had 5 minutes beforehand on the piano to get used to it.

I wonder if short testing times are usual in competitions. We got 5 minutes to test the piano for the 1st round (20 min programme) and 10 minutes for the 2nd (30 min prog).
