It is very sad to hear that this extraordinary pianist is not going to the third round!!. He is a winner anyway, he will have a wonderful career!!. His ideas, approach and sound make him a great artist!!

Chopin was a poet of the piano, so is Mr. Osokins IMHO.....very philosophical, deep, and equally beautiful and fulfilling on the extremes of tenderness and sorrow and the outpouring of extroverted and triumphant energy. Such nuanced and delicate with his sound in the quiter calmer sections and such power and passion where it is called for by the music. He has grown do much from the last competition....a true artist.....so sad and disappointed that he didn't pass to the 3rd round......why?? Is a rhetorical question I guess....or the one that has too many speculative answers....

Listening to his music and his interview, one understands that this young man looks at the world globally with a mature perception and cleverness, while his angry critics look at it only fragmentarily. For Osokins, art is a unity, while for people with a narrow mind, art consists of individual parts standing in quotation marks. He paints large canvases, while his critics pick out details and dissect them with a magnifying glass. The future belongs to this talent of feeling art holistically, while it still irritates the profane mind.

Very well said 👏🏿

I’m totally addicted. Coming back here everyday.

You must be a diamond in the world of pianists who sould be very famous all over the world. I love all your performances so much.

31:15 I love how he decided to make the transition from the end of the waltz into the polonaise!

While I consider other competitors amazing pianists, I consider this man a great artist.

The people judging the Contest should ask themselves one question: if they are looking for a great pianist playing Chopin or... best pianist imitating Chopin. Georgijs was my favourite six years ago and I had so much pleasure listening to him being grown and independent. He clearly has a great, poetic and artistic mind.

A true artist. Always innovative and original while staying completely natural and honest. Revelatory playing!

His sound will be so good with an orchestra. His bright touch shines Chopin's music.

決して真似ができない個性的なメロディーの美しさと表現力に魅せられてしまいます。

I saw videos of his performances in the 2015 competition whilst I was getting back into piano and learning Chopin, and the way he captures the emotions of Chopin hit me on another level. Maybe not conventional, but he plays with true freedom. He was such an inspiration to me when I was learning pieces again, and I even saw him live 2 years ago. I waved to him before the start and he waved back! Seeing his performances inspired me to learn the diploma, and now I'm doing my ARSM exam next month. Was so happy to see him back this time. Even though you didn't make the next round, just know your playing is an inspiration to me, and I sure many others who watch this! And sometimes that's far greater than winning a competition.

He's introspective, characterful and brings out a lot of character from the CFX's he chooses. Since he's so big on articulation, this is a highly expressive way of playing in an almost vocal manner. Yet he can also create atmospheres in manipulating his touch and tone and brings out the shapes of the inner voices melodies and counterpoint that Chopin's melodic accompaniment can make. The other factor is rhythm. He can have a motor rhythm when needed as well to create a waltz, march, or whatever type of rhythm that's part of the music.
