I really love Alice Sara Ott’s takes on Chopin. Her playing is always so expressive and her willingness to focus on the melody and tone instead of stretching the vertosity is refreshing. The piano lacks a bit on this video, but still very nice. It has inspired me to take on the raindrops prelude sometime this year.
