Tretji krog mednarodnega Chopinovega tekmovanja v Varšavi gre čez drugo polovico. Nastopili so že sami odlični pianisti, izmed katerih bo sedemnajstčlanski mednarodni žiriji zelo težko izbrati deset finalistov. Aleksander Gadžijev je za svoj enourni nastop brez pavze pripravil naslednji program: Poloneza Fantazija v As – duru, op. 61, Mazurka v B – duru, op. 56 št. 1, Mazurka v C – duru, op. 56 št. 2, Mazurka v c – molu, op. 56 št. 3 in Sonata v b – molu, op. 35
Aleksander Gadžijev je v polfinalu nastopil kot trinajsti. Ali mu bo to prineslo srečo ali ne, bo odvisno samo od odločitve žirije. Naš pianist je imel za svoj nastop na voljo eno uro. Začetek je bil zvočno in interpretativno tako sijajen, da lahko samo strmiš. In vzdržal je do konca v tako sijajni formi, da je dvorana kar otrpnila. Dodajam nekaj sprotnih komentarjev na njegov nastop.
Gadjiev goodluck
Gadjiev is going to make a stunning performance
I think Gadjiev will dominate today

wooooooooooooooooooooooow
Beautiful tone!
I really have to work, but can’t do anything but listen to him
fantastic
great playing!
Magnifique 
His level of artistry and musicality shows in his choosing the piano he liked the best during the selection process. Some contestants just went straight to the piano they were “used” to… he tried all
A well constructed reading of this Polonaise Fantasy. The sections flow together quite nicely.
Wonderful interpretation
Alexandeeeeeer! Amazing!!!
What a comforting sound! I’m getting more and more attracted to him
He propably win the competition
Your performance feels very delicate, elegant and comfortable.
I agree, there isn’t enough youthful energy in most of these performances. Everything is so quiet, slow and lifeless with most of these performers.
His tone is lovely at times, but somehow this piece is not holding together for me. I feel like I’m looking at Chopin through a microscope. It is super difficult musically this piece.
This guy is finalist for sure
“He plays this work like his diary”oh good expression
I love this beginning
I don’t want to be a jury right now
Mazurka Prize
One can see he is in love with his music! No facial pain,like some competitors…..just easiness all over..So wonderful and a pleasure to live this with him…
Gadjiev is absolutely fantastic
He feels the ethnic character of a mazurka – kudoz!
I recommend you guys to watch a recent 40mins interview Mr Gadjiev made a couple days ago
He plays piano so soft.
Chopin’s composition are pure genius, it goes without saying
I don’t know if he will pass, but he is surely a great pianist, a mature performer.
I’ve never heard these kind of beautiful sounds from Kawai piano.
Omg he is a soloist already
Bravo Alexander
He’s been one of my favorites
He is the winner
Leonora played it a bit soft, Candotti was uninteresting- Gadjijev has got everything
Amazing performance !!
Finalist 
This year they will have to declare 10 winners
WOW THAT INNER VOICE!!!
HE MASTERED IT
First time to listen his play, I became his fan instantly!!!
He feels the music, love it
So fast and energetic
Perfect voice
I have never heard Alexander play better than today. I’m really moved by this Sonata.
Fire pianist
Wow even mistakes don’t matter to him
Amazing inner voices
It’s possible we’ll have 2 winners, its happened a few times before
We all are in heaven right now
This guy is ready to play brahms sonata n 3
He will be top 3!! I’m sure!!
Too beautiful and tragic
I’m crying I dunno
Outstanding!!!!!!!!!
He is somthing!!
Funeral march
So beautiful
This is sublime
Real deep and great
Chopin remember your life at your death
This is so delicate…
Great finale
Imel je 16.248 gledalcev na internetu, 1200 všečkov in le šestnajst negativnih ocen
I like he plays sonata like one big movement, not making lunch breaks between movements
Great use of colours
Bravo!!!!
Lang Lag is the most overrated pianist.
At this stage, the jury is looking for what each pianist has to say, not so much comparing one against the other
Trifonov, Yuja Wang, Beatrice Rana, Eric Lu, Alex Kantorow are all better than Lang Lang. A pity Igor Levit doesn’t play Chopin though.
