She was so good she "made my arms tingle" according to one Melbourne patron. She helped me show the masses in Melbourne why Masashi Hamauzu is such a damn fine composer too. Young, "very attractive" and "very nice". Discuss.

Note that all quotations are from surveys or passing comments from audience members in Melbourne. I have a girlfriend and am not attempting to hit on our pianist!

I thought she was excellent, I felt she showed more emotion and passion for the music, well a bit more than Alexy. Same, chocohi, I was like, Awww...darn...but when I heard her play... WOW! I was sooo happy when I got her autograph!

she left earlier than the other musicians and i missed out cos i was helping out as a part of the volunteers.

i did however run into her as she walked through the corridor, she gave me a smile and i smiled back. =] but at that time i didn't notice it was her. which was silly, i realised a few moments after. xP

she seems like a nice person, but also looked a bit bored at the autograph table before i ran off to help clean the stage.

its such a har d piece - the battle. she did a great job. seeming its a solo - shes the soloist, i think te conductor is supposed to follow her though. but then its really a team effort, about cooperation and coMMUNICATION.. hehe. i kind of agree, she seems to get more into her music than alexy. nonetheless hes a superb musician. just , different? i think the eminence audience got used to himand his playing. thats why.

i shouldnt talk tough, wait til im good enough(never) the talk . hah/

*psst* i think she likes you LMAO. you should've allured her back to your place with your manly charm... just think of the possibilities, you and her, and those hands... FREE PIANO LESSONS *YAY*
anyhow, she was awesome. it was nice listening to her play at anif, coz we've already heard alexey's interpretations on most of the pieces at ps3.

Before I say something stupid, is this Natalia blonde or am I thinking of the wrong person entirely? Shocked

She played at our church once ... yes she is amazing Shocked but I had no idea of all this back then!

I was talking with her sister, who introduced me to her.... she does seem really nice! Then again, I guess it runs in the family Smile Smile

I'm a friend of Natasha's and when I discovered that she had a fan club, I had to sign up. Is there a badge that I can buy? And if you need a secretary, count me in!

It's so exciting to stumble across this forum and see how much recognition she's been getting for her immense talent.

She is everything you've pegged her as and more! Beautiful, sweet, generous, intelligent and incredibly passionate about music.

The process that she takes to learn a piece and infuse it with meaning is really comprehensive - she puts her whole self into it. Learning the piece is such a small part - once she's ensured that every nuance, every minetue of detail is perfect, she then takes ages to make sure that the intention and the meaning and emotion behind the work is reflected. To make sure that she owns the piece.

She could probably turn up, play by sight and knock your socks off too - but the way that she approaches music is with a meticulous desire to play perfectly - on every level.

A Final Fantasy fan from way back, I'm really looking forward to Passion tomorrow and seriously happy that she's doing so well.

Woot! Give her more praise!

(Also, if you're reading this hon, I hope you're not embarrassed!)

I got to work with Natasha today, doing page turning with her at a rehearsal, and she's a very nice person, very talented, yet not posh, and has a sense of humour too! ^^

But hey! its not piano stories is it. Good accompaniment in the violin classical pieces too! it sounded very difficult/
