Young talented pianists performances on YouTube
on: January 02, 2010, 07:32:30 AM
Youtube is very popular with young pianists, and from there you can often find some good performances.

Medelssohns Rondo Capriccio for example, there are lots of versions of the young promises.

Enzos version:


Unusually mature playing only fourteen years of age:


Put a link, where you can find something interesting!

Granted, I find Enzo rather very talented and certainly a promising young pianist.

Yep, you're right.. but it is nice that young people put their own playing whole world to see!

Aimi Kobyashi seems to enjoy playing the piano really:

...well, let's get it right: chances are, it's their parents that put videos of their music performances for the whole world to see. I'm not sure whether it is to satisfy their parents' ego or if it is actually good for their musical development.

Either way, I feel universally sorry for those who are tied up in this because their parents forced them to. I have friends who study piano seriously because their parents forced them to. They play the piano very well indeed (I mean, one will be very good when one practises 4 hours a day weekdays and 8 hours a day weekends from a very young age), but they know very little about music aside from that which they've learned. And if they do not have the interest and/or the talent, I also find that they are musically unintelligent - no musical intuition, relying solely on what their teachers tell them about each and every note.

Anyway, if you enjoy it, great I suppose. And for sure not all these kids are like that - there are obviously kids that like it and do it with conducive support from their parents. It's just my personal opinion that sometimes music is almost like the 21st century form of child labour...

My personal opinion is that if the young pianist doesn' really love what he does, but train 8 hours a day, he becomes the "only" a child prodigy, but no personal pianist who stand out population.

I have listened to 14-years old Alasaarela's playing and I think that his playing can hear music in three-dimensional perception, musicality and personal expression. I really liked it.

I dislike enzo's playing. While technically gifted, musically he's kind of a hack I think.

Edit: I have nothing against prodigies. I really like "the little dude that plays like Gilels"

Only 18 years old here I think. I love how he plays the part just before the Presto.
