one of the best live versions of this great sonata. Kate Liu is undoubtedly one of the greatest performers of the new generation, far from being a celebrity of record companies, each of her recitals connect us directly with the music and the true voice of the composer.
The listening of the polyphonic lines is Amazing and there is, in this young and talented artiste I have discovered in Chopin competition, a high sense of spirituality. Love Kate Liu.
“Devotion” and “sensitivity” are the words coming to mind each time when I watch Kate plays - even in her early days of performances, no exception on this one
Clean, deep, really well balanced and colourfull playing. We need it : lightness and space. Thanks Kate Liu, Thanks Yesshi for sharing. Paolo from Italy
Brahms - Piano Sonata No. 3 in F minor, Op. 5 I. Allegro maestoso - 0:01 II. Andante - 14:16 III. Scherzo. Allegro energico & Trio - 28:29 IV. Intermezzo. Andante molto - 34:10 V. Finale. Allegro moderato ma rubato - 38:40
I don't know how she's doing it with her lack of mass and heft and weight, but the sound is Brahms and it's awesome. I'm kind of shocked and I have tears in my eyes. This one is the real thing.
It's because volume and tone on the piano is controlled by timing and voicing, which, mechanically speaking, is key acceleration and not how hard a key is pressed; it's all leveraging and not heft.
@@yesshinonein8282 Those weekend class meetings were amazing featuring pianists like Kate Liu and Conrad Tao. My wife was a student of del Rosario back in the seventies, as well as my daughter in 2001-2002.
@@normsantos1274 Wow there are so many artists learned from this amazing teacher! I actually never heard of Tao but I should listen to him. It's wonderful that your wife and daughter also got lessons from him (I'm super surprised)!!! I slightly recommend you to listen to some performances of rachel kudo, especially andante spianato by chopin. I think there are some points of naturality in music made by those who learned from del Rosario.
@@normsantos1274 Wow you're such a lucky guy.. Wish I were there. Today is the very birthday of this wonderful pianist! Hope greeting May, she wins cliburn competition!
Is she getting contaminated by the Pogorelich disease? I admire her greatly, as I admired Ivo's early interpretations a lot. For the latter, it has become difficult to the point of not being able to put up with it anymore. With her, I am very worried by what I hear here and at her van Cliburn competitions. I do hope it does not go to the worse. She retains a fantastic musicality.
Yeh, what is Pogorelich disease? Is it that you think she is just too dynamic? Too virtuosic? Listen, I am so glad that Kate Liu is that way, that there is a strength and Amazon side like what I hear in this performance. I was concerned that in her playing of the Chopin E Minor Concerto at the Chopin Competition that Kate, from the very start of the solo was too introspective and reflective, that she should have reserved such contemplativeness and intimacy for a later refrain of the themes and rather, she should have come into the solo with more of what I hear her capable of doing here.... the Chopin Concerto is a bigger work than the 2nd Concerto of Chopin, and at its commencement, I feel there is no place for dreaming. I feared that the tiny woman that Kate is did not have the physical power that needed to come along with her uncanny depth and commitment to express a composer. Is Pogberelich disease virtuosity for virtuosity's sake? Seong-Jin Cho, winner of that competition, in contrast, played the same concerto a bit too "big" for my taste. But getting back to her performance here, Kate Liu's playing is glorious! I am glad she has it in her! I want to point out, in contrast, that Yuja Wang is certainly a very fine talent and while I don't underestimate her capacities, she plays everything just too fast, probably on purpose so as to be Horowitzian Reincarnate. When Yuja Wang plays the Turkish Marche, I am aghast that she actually believes that soldiers march that fast. She plays so rapidly, like in the Bizet-Horowitz transcription of Carmen, that there is no room to interpret anything that remotely is reflective or introspective, everything is a bit too shallow because it is all just played at breakneck speed, there being no time for nuance. Kate Liu, on the other hand, is a Titan of the piano when it comes to nuance and probing the depths, searching and searching and sharing what she uncovers with the listener... Oh, Kate Liu may not wear revealing clothes like Yuja Wang, but she is so cute!
@@mr.fredericchopin6214 "Is it that you think she is just too dynamic? Too virtuosic?" Not at all. It is "too introspective and reflective", something Pogorelich has pushed to an extreme. But I heard more recent recordings of her, and this seems to have only been for a period as I hoped 2 years ago.
Sorry, aber von Beginn an fehlt es bei Kate liu an Spannkraft. Im ganzen weiteren Verlauf merkt man die Manki einer wirklich künstlerisch geistigen Erfassung und Bewältigung dieser großen Brahms-Sonate.
I can't believe how right,forceful without feeling pushed or too driven her Scherzo here is . The Scherzo is often played cheap and badly without the needed taste .Liu has a fine sensitivity and asense for architecture ! Always interesting to see what female players do in Brahms supposedly masculine ,august late Romantic era piano music ! Bachauer even tiny deLarrocha,Annie Fischer,dat crazy Nazi but superlative pianist EllyNeywas trecorded in it too,deBruchollerie played the 2nd concerto.Liu is an intelligent creative artist . I hope she will play the 2nd Sonata which though not formally perfect has always been my fave of the 3 .

She can't take lessons from Katchen unfortunately, but she can from Helena Grimaud. And she needs them very badly where this sonata is concerned. Melodramatic facial expressions are nowhere near enough for this piece, sorry.
Unkind and unnecessary. This was a gentler performance than Ms Grimaud's but it was typical of Kate Liu and an excellent rendition. Having played this myself long ago I am well aware of how much work has gone into this beautiful performance
Her music is so beautiful and she is so beautiful ❤
Brahms is a wild romantic and Kate Liu demonstrates this. So many rein him in because they feel he should be cultivated. They shouldn’t.
Radu Lupu, Clifford Curzon, Artur Rubinstein and Kate Liu. No one plays this sonata better than them.
one of the best live versions of this great sonata. Kate Liu is undoubtedly one of the greatest performers of the new generation, far from being a celebrity of record companies, each of her recitals connect us directly with the music and the true voice of the composer.
She doesn't waste her youth. She lives her life with honesty and passion and that's why we love her.

“Devotion” and “sensitivity” are the words coming to mind each time when I watch Kate plays - even in her early days of performances, no exception on this one
Sorry, but are entitled to your opinion, Grimaud's performance is the one you should be watching.
Kate Liu, un ángel en el piano
いつも憧れています！ケイトさん素敵です！
So difficult to play yet you interpreted it so well. Brahms would have been so proud of you Kate Liu. Salute !

I remember listening to Kate in one of del Rosario's class meetings and thinking how next level she was.
Wow you met early year of her! I envy you. I found Mrs del Rosario is a really renowned teacher.. Guess you had a wonderful experience.

Tolle Interpretation!🌹
Every time I am listening to her I felt I was having electrical shot
こりゃ凄いわ
Brahms' 3rd sonata is part of her program for the semifinal round.. i hope she will advance and win the competition..
Sorry, she didn't......never has never won first prize in any of her Major Completions either

No, disagree with some of these Comments Please listen to Helenes Gremaud sterling performance, sorry, puts this version to shame.
I was so looking forward to hearing this but I stopped watching because of adverts every few minutes 😢
You didn't miss much, a lot better performance
I think she is the greatest product of our Information Age.
