Allegro ma non tanto (I): 1:16
Intermezzo: Adagio (II) : 18:41
Finale: Alla Breve (III) : 29:35
the old concerto transfused with new life as though played for the first time - and so perfectly.
What I like is that how willingly he is making music TOGETHER with the conducter. They way they synch the rubati in the climax of the Finale is just perfection.
Please listen to Yunchan's Mozart Piano Concerto No. 22 and Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 3~~ Please listen to LISZT 12 Transcendental Etudes
One thing that makes this performance special to me is the direction of Marin Allsop and the connection between the orchestra and the piano. Yunchan Lim said of the orchestra in this performance -- I opened my heart to them, and they opened their hearts to me.
a thing to keep in mind is this performance was at the end of the most prestigious piano competition in America. Yunchan Lim had already performed hours of music in the days leading up to this, including two other piano concertos. The world getting a performance of this caliber during a competition is truly something special.
Love your channel btw. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us
Yunchan is absolutely incredible. Not even considering his age, this has been dubbed one of the best performances of rach 3, and i personally do think it's the best!! And it's more than just his flawless playing, he's already past that and is simply creating honest music. There really aren't enough words to describe how i feel everytime i listen to this performance. Thank you Yunchan (and rach lol)!
For me there is places in his performance that lack of any power and emotions,i think Horowitz and Gavrylyuk did in this better(imo) but definitely he has most clarity and clearance in his performance that i like a lot
@@Moisha695 Agree that Horowitz's performance has a sort of power and romanticism that is unparalleled in his performances however you can't ignore the various places that Yunchan innovated upon combined with his insanely mature playing style. For example that base note during the climax of the second movement is one of the greatest moments in classical music imo.
@@orangeprimate2633 i just was thinking about that bass note right now lol!
I wish i have power to combine my favourite performances in one perfect version for me: :(
❤
No one will ever be better than Horowitz, for me. As good is the highest compliment I can give
The GOAT performance🐐
I assure you, Yunchan's live is out of this world.
Yunchan lim owns Rach 3 now. Listening to him perform with the NYP the other night where he played the longer Ossia cadenza, was mind blowing. Since he won gold at the Cliburn last year, he has grown so much. The things he does with this piece is crazy! You laugh, you cry! The risks he takes are amazing and the audience are comfortable knowing they can trust him to deliver!
He simply melts my heart. ❤
Thank you for sharing this with us again.

Hat about Rachmaninoff’s piano roll
Yunchan performed at the Hollywood Bowl just two days ago, he’s somehow improved over the perfection of this performance. He’s brilliant. fangirling so hard tbh
I will see him play this in Chicago today. I guess we’ll see if he’s surpassed himself again.
@@benebacher2470how was it? also, which cadenza did he play?
@@benebacher2470KEEP US UPDATED
Update post-concert:
He played the big cadenza, very well in fact. I would describe his performance as a more exaggerated version of his cliburn performance. Played the slow parts slower and the fast parts faster. Was ultimately blown away by his performance but underwhelmed by the orchestra who could hardly be heard in very important places. This made piano accompany moments sound more soloistic which is not what the composer intended. But overall it was fantastic. Not sure if it was better than the cliburn but still amazing.
@@benebacher2470 wow!! I’m sure it was an amazing experience! Thanks for the update!! And if he played the 3rd mvt faster than the cliburn, I bet that was incredible to witness😂
Yup, this is probably the best performance of this I've heard ever (and I'm definitely picky in this case - for example I confess I hate what Trifonov does with it 😬). And to think that it's an 18yo guy doing this magic is mindblowing....
He actually nailed this at 17 in his Korean concert
Thrilled you reacted to yunchan, his performance of this piece made me love this piece more than I could say. If you ever want to see more about why this performance is amazing, check out tonebase's video on his performance of this piece. It's amazing and makes you appreciate it even more
ua-cam.com/video/DhUFLepewgA/v-deo.html
This performance was wonderful, didn't you think? He's done it elsewhere since and apparently has knocked the socks off most of his audiences. Yunchan will be long remembered for this performance, as he well deserves to be.
Wonderful playing! He is so poetic, and musical, nuanced, and that is what makes this performance so great, because Rach's 3rd is often very hammered by many pianists. Yunchan Lim's performance brought a different side of this concerto. And this is Yunchan Lim performing at the last and fairly recent Van Cliburn Piano Competition, where he won First Prize.
It is great that you reacted to Lim's interpretation, in my opinion one of the best versions of this piece
I never get tired of revisiting this historic performance, which alerted the world to Yunchan's great gift and mission to devote his life to music. He wows with the technical feats of the powerful passages, but also with the delicacy and restraint of the quieter passages. It has been exciting to hear his other performances of this work - different nuances, but still brilliant.
This composition is so hype! 😎 For anyone who may be interested, you can probably catch Yunchan live! I got a ticket to see him in Boston next year!
I don't think I have been this excited for an upload in a while
Not only is this one of the best pieces of classical music, it's also one of the hardest to perform.
Yunchan Lim absolutely nailed it and at only eighteen years old. He deserved first place in that competition.
He is out of this world.
He actually nailed it at 17 as he performed it in our home country of korea. I'm Korean so I watch all his interviews n concerts.
This was a great performance.
I have heard probably thirty renditions of this piece, my all time favourite concerto. Yunchan's is the best and it's not really that close.
Come on Ken! Yunchan Lim can not be the best Rach no 3 because colorless ice cold piano sound! All the modern pianists are colorless and cold like Kissin Zimerman Pletnev Yuja Wang Buniatishvili Stephen Hough Marc Andre Hamelin Trifonov Malofeev Yunchan Lim! The best colorful beautiful piano sound players are Really=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Artur Rubinstein Radu Lupu Vladimir Ashkenazy! Dimitri Bashkirov her teacher Anastasia Virsaladze teach saying to Bashkirov the most important Lesson is the Love of beautiful colorful piano sound! This was already in 1930s! Really Shocking! We need more teachers like Anastasia Virsaladze! This student Yunchan Lim should study next 6 years with good teacher!
@@RaineriHakkarainen I mean, this is subjective. But no less an authority than tonebase piano explained exactly why this rendition puts all others to shame, and i agree with them.
@@KenBreadboxabsolutely. That other guy comment leaves a sober taste in my mouth. My boy is magical!!!
@@RaineriHakkarainenthis is the second reaction video to Lim’s Rach 3 where you’ve said this and it’s almost like you copy and pasted it. Lim’s teacher is Minsoo Sohn, winner of the Honens competition himself. You seem to have blinders on.
So glad you revisited the piece. That Trifonov performance was good, but I really wanted you to take a look at this specific rendition. My favorite Concerto of all time.
Been waiting for you to react to this phenomenal performance!
Damn, that was a good performance!
The important thing is that this performance is not the best of Yunchan's Rach 3. The Rach 3 of Yunchan's Aspen performance surpassed Yunchan himself and everything.
thanks for that.. are you saying I have to watch another performance of it ? !! Hold my coffee!
Do you have the link to the full Aspen performance? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
I haven't found it yet either - Not sure if i'm looking for an event or a location either @@OmnivorousOtter101
I heard the one he gave at Lavinia was truly epic.. I have been to his New York debut, on the second day.. And that was pretty mindblowing as well hahaha, to say the least of it..
@@e.k.8835come on, so you ve already been to two of his performances!! So unfair… most people’s dream is listening his live once… hope you know how lucky you are. 😅
12:17 Pokémon encounter 👾👾
It's spot on haha
side note 29:10 should not be humanly possible
28:50 nothing will ever drop this hard again!
Great
SO HAPPY YOU REACTED TO THIS🎉
wanted to let you know i was one of those there that day in the front. i got to meet him after and he signed my program book. hes so humble and saintly almost although instead of wisdom causing a person to let go of his ego its his innocence.
Great Video
It’s so cool to see someone enjoying my favourite music for the first time

Thanks for uploading this video
Thanks GIDI for your great video about yunchan 😊
The channel I didn't know I needed ❤
This is absolutely incredible. The cadenza is awesome
25:30초에 this is right here 에 저도 공감합니다~!!!! 그 부분이 무척 격정적이라 이 공연 들을 때 항상 심금을 울렸었어요~!!!^^ㅎㅎ
I love your reactions, and your mind is so open. Great channel
you deserve all the subs in the world
Glad you get it... Ive listened to this performance many, many times. Yunchan Lim is a phenom. This was his final performance at the Cliburn 2022 competition. Nerves of steel! He's a cool dude too.
I remember watching it live on live streaming on UA-cam. I had to stop what i was doing to ACTUALLY WATCH because i could not believe what i was listening to! I just had to join in with the live stream conversation😁😁😁. I knew he was making history. Bravo Yunchan👏👏👏
Just epic...
The ending united us all. Masterpiece.
Amazing. The island of the dead by Rach next? Total gem 😊
In Ukraine there's some problems with Patreon, so just know, that Isle is cool)

Its not that long ago, to be exect 10 months ago 😅
The video from 10 months ago was a reupload, the original is from well over a year ago
@@6894qyeah maybe a bit longer, but its not a really old recording like gidi said lol
@@sergei-prokofiev ohhh i misunderstood your comment ignore me, I thought you were talking about gidi’s original reaction to rach 3, and it being not that old
exect
I prefer the longer cadenza but the end of his is fantastic. I've never heard anyone phrase it like he does. I think his slow sections, e.g. after the cadenza and in the 2nd movement, are too slow for my preference, but beautiful nonetheless. Then the fast parts are too fast at first, but then I get used to it and it's just new and exciting. I presume he's performed this many times, I assume he does it differently each time.
Honestly, in this version the bass tones of some woodwinds seem to miss, as bassoons sounded quite harsh and sharp, as did some higher woodwinds. Maybe I'm just more accustomed to a warmer bass sound.
This was the final performance of the competition so the orchestra was very tired of performing the same piece multiple times I guess.
You really have to listen to "An Alpinesymphony" from Richard Strauss.
Its my favourite piece ever.
The best recording in my opinion is from hr Symphony orchestra with orszo.
Pls give it a try.
Love from Germany
This is close to the best performance of the Rach 3rd That I have heard. Remarkable.
All the more unfortunate that he chose to play the Toccata cadenza, not the original incorrectly named Ossia cadenza.
In my opinion, this is a mortal sin!
Funny enough Martha Argerich in her widely accepted reference recording also plays the Toccata Cadenza.
Everyone is free to like whichever cadenza version they prefer. According to his friend Vladimir Horowitz, Rachmaninoff considered the ossia cadenza inferior and did not play it in performance, which is why Horowitz never did either. I believe many modern pianists think the ossia is more of a bass-heavy and bombastic crowd-pleaser, but I have always preferred the cadenza that Rachmaninoff also preferred. Yunchan Lim, for his part, has played both in concert.
@BofferBings I wouldn't put too much credence in what Rachmaninoff said about it. He was criticized for the Ossia cadenza, and he had a tendency to take criticism all too seriously. He was lambasted over the first symphony, and fell into a depression about it.
Critics always seem to know better, don't they? Even when it comes to a genius like Rachmaninoff
Calling the Ossia cadenza "bombastic" and a " crowd pleaser" irritates me no end.. It is magnificent, the inevitable organic conclusion of the movement. The toccata causes the tension of the first movement to completely collapse; It ruins the first movement.
The vast majority of pianists play the Ossia, preferring to go with Rachmaninoff's original and superior thoughts, despite what others told him to think.
@Quotenwagnerianer It is strange! She is one of the very few who won't play the Ossia. She rarely played the Beethoven fourth and fifth concertos either, so there you go.
The pianist who premiered this piece, Vladimir Horowitz, also played the original toccata in his most famous performance of this piece with Eugene Ormandy. Did he commit "a mortal sin"?? I don't think so...but you are committing "treason" by saying that.
Jesus, all comments are about Yunchan, even though he doesn’t matter that much, and it’s all about Rachmaninov….
You really got it well, this concerto is much more complex than no.2. It's a mountain actually. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. And what Yunchan Lim is really good at is getting unusual, surprising, unexpected sounds out of the piano, that is the spark of a genius. Maybe he is not yet technically as good as Daniil Trifonov or Yuja Wang, but damn, he was still 18! So this is one of the best versions of this concerto ever played. It is also worth listening to Rachmaninoff himself playing it (can be found on UA-cam). As for me, between what I've listened in the concert hall, Trifonov was fantastic, but I still remain with Yuja Wang's version at the Enescu Festival 2019 in my heart, she was totally in, she gave all in it; too bad the available recording has an awful sound quality.
Great performances. But i like the more difficult & dramatic cadenza better.
It's far too dramatic for only the first movement though. Imo
I like both IMO. Yunchan actually played the Ossia when he played with the NewYork phil orchestra this year.
And at the Hollywood Bowl….to die for
Sorry, but Thispianist phrases ... on the surface!! stays flat. It is a nice, very pleasant walk. He passes through sentences without entering into them at crucial moments. Heard Daniil Trifonov? that is feeling, depth , intensity and Slavic delicacy. Being both young, you will however notice the difference. Racmaninov asks for maturity, in addition to faculties and talent.
Yo if you decide to react to a classical piece, you should see if Paul Barton performed and posted it in his channel. He’s *without a doubt, undeniably* the best pianist on the platform. His technique is perfection. You should check out Un Sospiro and Liebestraum No. 3 by him.
