Who is Khati Buniatisvilli’s role model?

 Even with her success in the field of music khatia prefers not to be regarded as a child prodigy: virtuosity for its own sake does not appeal to her. Above all, she embraces pianists from earlier generations such as Rachmaninoff, Richter, and Gould. She admires her “favorite pianist”, Martha Argerich, for her uniqueness and, as a consequence, does not view Argerich as someone she should try to emulate.

Khatia’s thoughts about critics

The pianist regards herself as “wholly a person of the 20th century”, Khatia does not identify so much with the pianists of today. Khatia’s warm, sometimes sorrowful playing may reflect close proximity to Georgian folk music, which, she attests, has greatly influenced her musicality.

Critics emphasize that her playing has an aura of elegant solitude and even melancholy, which she does not feel to be a negative attribute. “The piano is the blackest instrument,” she says, a “symbol of musical solitude”, which even a pianist must become accustomed to. “I have to be psychologically strong and forget the hall if I want to share it with the audience.”
