Hi Everyone,

Here is my interview with Khatia Buniatishvili. The pianist talks about the Ravel Piano Concerto, Tbilisi, her impressions of the great pianists, and technique.

Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful weekend

vlhorowitz, thanks for sharing these interviews. Interesting. Also I get a kick out of hearing how pianists answer questions like "What is the utmost purpose of Art?".

It would be great to hear a pianist's response to this question: "So, what is the meaning of life and everything?" (The challenge would be to ask it with a straight face.) The question is borrowed from the movie "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".

It would be interesting to see if anyone just laughed. Or if they proceed to give a serious answer.

Thanks for reading, Ann

I ask that question because I never seem to get the same answer. Sometimes, we receive an answer that can actually change our perspective on music and the piano altogether.

Thanks for the feedback as well!

vlhorowitz, it really is an interesting question. Just difficult to answer. Then I got in a silly mood over it. Thanks for taking my comments lightly.
