A word of praise for Olga Kern.

Edited on Sun Oct-17-10 11:11 PM by saltpoint

Pianist.

From Russia.

Was fortunate to hear her last evening. The Rachmaninoff 2nd piano concerto.

In another time women performers of the Rachmaninoff concerti were greeted with skepticism. Women were felt not to be able to play Rachmaninoff.

Well by god this woman could -- She was in absolute command of the range, the technique, and the dynamics.

I was very, very impressed.
