Yunchan Lim piano
Already a prodigious success at various international competitions, the Korean pianist received the Gold Medal at the 2022 Van Cliburn Competition in Fort Worth at the age of 18 - the youngest ever winner. ‘Lim is a one-in-a-million talent’, wrote the Dallas Morning News, while for jury chair Marin Alsop he is ‘that rare artist who brings profound musicality and prodigious technique organically together.’

He is a genius who appears once every 100 years.
Agreed. We all are blessed to witness this once in a century genius.
Agreed. He just a genious. He just in the different level
Indeed.
What a raging sycophantic liar. His Liszt is questionable at best and built on the failures of many so-called pianists who are actually poor mediocres. His Chopin, the real test of virtuosity, etude No.2 and No.4 - now he uses all pedals for the No.2 and is not up to speed, while No.4 is a disaster in my standards.
You guys commenting are a bunch of sycophants who can't or don't play piano.
South Korea, thank you for your humble, civilized, polite Yunchan Lim, pianist, winner. His beautiful behavior is a lesson for us Westerners. 🌷🌷🌷 (The Netherlands)
Yunchan Lim is now barely 20. But he has the musical soul of someone much older...and with decades more experience! When he performs it's like being transported to another world entirely...a world in which the music is everything!
I return once more and must ask: "Have we just witnessed a verifiable MIRACLE in our midst?"
I am at a loss for words.
Yunchan Lim is a rare pianist who plays the characteristics of each era from the Renaissance to the Romantic period
I believe this is the performance that proved to some of the toughest and serious music reviewers - who had been wondering if the whole post major-competition noise was yet another hype - that Yunchan is the real deal. He won them over. How could he not…😊
Beethoven biographer Edmund Morris reports that when Beethoven played in Prussia, he so stunned his listeners that "they crowded around his piano, weeping." I cried as I listened here to Yunchan Lim play Beethoven. I reiterate my awe from when he overwhelmed us with his Emperor: Dear Yunchan Lim, Thank you for such dedication to your art. Thank you for every hour you spend practicing alone. Thank you for bringing us this wonderful music in its most sublime glory. And please don't ever change.
As you told me the anecdote of Edmund Morris, I was able to better understand Yoonchan's interpretation of Beethoven's music. His music seems to have the magical power to deeply touch people's hearts. thank you. enough explanation
YES to ‘don’t ever change’.
peut-on vraiment faire confiance à cette biographie d'Edmund Morris? C'est un écrivain américain spécialisé dans l'histoire des présidents des Etats-Unis... Déjà dans la biographie de Manyard Solomon (américain également), on trouve quelques erreurs... Can we really trust this biography of Edmund Morris? He is an American writer specializing in the history of the presidents of the United States... Already in the biography of Manyard Solomon (also American), there are some errors/mistakes...
What would intellectual musicians like Leslie Howard, Stephen Hough, Nigel Simeone, Alan Walker (...) think of this?
what you wrote here is truly beautiful and thoughtful as well
Interpreting the music through the universe of his unique perception ! Truly an angel reaching through time and space NOW ±
This is absolutely the best recital. His brilliant talent is God's greatest gift to mankind. His performance is spectacular but very delicate, accurate, modest and sublime. Yunchan is the first artist who thought it was breathtakingly beautiful while listening to the piano. I hope he will be the happiest pianist. God bless you always.🙏❤️
Absolument incroyable de maîtrise, de sculpture sonore, d'inventivité et de tant d'autres choses.... La perfection existe-t-elle ? On a tendance à y croire après ce concert.
I went to see his performance at Wigmore Hall in person. I've never seen a pianist like him who creates this kind of piano music in my entire life. He's a pianist who shows everything beyond imagination.
I realized for the first time that the piano could produce this kind of sound, and that Bach and Beethoven were geniuses among geniuses.
WoW !!!!! Envy you !!
Listening to this concert yet again, I wonder how many of us really recognise the clearly analytical thought, time, patience and attention to every detail that Yunchan has put into it, or seen that at eighteen he was already clearly a force to be reckoned with. It's a bit like an early history of piano and delivered brilliantly, every piece in it was a masterpiece. Thank you Yunchan and Wigmore
@catherinejones9396. You are absolutely right. It most certainly looks and sounds like he has given a great deal of thought to every single note and every interval and considered exactly how it should sound. He thinks every detail through and considers every detail of how it should sound. As they say it is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration but the results speak for themselves! I read some time ago that when he was interviewed by the critic Richard Morrison after one of his concerts he told him that on one occasion he spent an entire day working out how best to play 4 bars of a Schubert sonata! If that is how he approaches his work it is no wonder the results are so spectacular. I am excited that I will be attending his recital at the Royal Albert Hall in London next Monday where he will play all the Chopin etudes.
Thank you, dear Catherine!
@@Ariadne-cg4cq If you mean the BBC PROMS, doesn't Yunchan play in a concerto, not a recital?😯😯
@@user-dz1nr3ed2n At the Proms he will play Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto on the 29th of July with the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Paavo Jarvi. I already booked my ticket.
@@user-dz1nr3ed2n Yes he played the Beethoven 5th every note clear and enticing. Sorry.
The most amazing thing is that his play sounds attractive even to the normal listener who are not aware of piano.

이거에요
The "normal listener who are (sic) not aware of piano" are more likely to find recitals impressive, because they don't really understand what is going on, and assume is it excellent.

I"m glad you did it. Enjoying Dowland and Yunchan Lim
This performance proves what his teacher Prof Sohn Minsoo said, ”If there’s anyone was born to do music, it would be Yunchan Lim“
that's why I edit and published also SOHN MINSOO performaces of Appassionata, Mazeppa and RAVEL LA VALSE piano duo version with Yunchan Lim ! It's important to listen the genesis, because music doesn't raise from "nothing" but is a tradition and hours of hard excercise and never stop! The goal is in the path not in a point! 🙇♂🙇♂🙇♂
If Beethoven had heard this concert, he would have kissed not only Yunchan’s forehead (as he did with Liszt), but also his hands and his heart. He goes right into my soul, whenever I hear him play anything. He is on his own class, not only at a higher, but at a deeper level. I can only praise God for giving him to all of us in this world.
☆You must be beautiful person♡
I can feel the sincerity in your words,like a confession of faith...
Couldn’t agree with you more!!!❤️🎹
Completely agree with this from my heart
Yes!!! We are all blessed with his celestial music. Hopefully his music could change the world more beautiful.
I agree with you. Every time I listen to him playing I have tears flowing and goosebumps.
His playing touches deep inside this old lady’s heart.
You are a blessing young man.
His Eroica made me cry for joy.
Truly, this young pianist is blessing for the humanity.
Right
Yunchan Lim is, I'm pretty sure, the pianist of this generation. And maybe the generation before, too. I'm in my mid 40's, and I can't think of a single pianist who compares in my lifetime.
Just amazing.
Couldn’t agree more
I'm in my 80s and agree with you entirely.
he is paying very close attention and feeling the music very fully... I think he is in league with Martha Argerich and Murray Perehia and I hope his recording career flourishes as much or more than theirs
I do appreciate Yunchan Lim's (and Inmo Yang's) well-placed restraint and smooth warmth and lyricality in his playing
He is probably not the only pianist his age. I, for instance, am but 5 days older.
Unselfishness, purity, and nobility. He reminds me of at some point a highest priest or defender in music if it exists.
L nO
A new maestro has born.. He is the pianist we been waiting for so long. Pure talent and not exaggerate playing. He is beyond langlang. He is beyond his peer. He just stunning
Absolutely beyond Lang Lang.. 100000% agreed!! I can't even bear to listen to Lang Lang due to his overbearing shallow showmanship
@@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094 to mention Lang Lang in the same breath is sacrilege. He is a piano playing shallow entertainer for the masses. Yunchan Lim is an artist of the highest calibre who interprets the sublime music of the great composers such as Bach and Beethoven to convey to us, the public, what they wanted to express and to make us feel their feelings. He is a true musician of the highest order. Long may he continue to flourish and to perform at such a truly high level of artistic excellence
Why compare? You can express your preference but don’t disparage the artistry of other artists… Lang Lang is fantastic in his own way. Listen to some not so “showy” stuff he plays. He does it so well. And no, I am not a chinese fan.
@@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094Yunchan is extraordinary but before saying those words about Lang Lang which is also a great pianist you should know the story behind him.
Yunchan is my favorite pianist and I can watch his playing all day! Let’s not disparaging other artists though. Each has own beauty.❤
Superb playing....a rare artist who allows the essence of the music to bloom without unnecessary mannerisms or gimmickry. One is left with the feeling that this is simply how the music should sound. I am sure the grateful composers are somewhere smiling in happiness☺
Absolutely agreed!
Precisely and absolutely perfect performance by such a gifted young but brilliant pianist ever
I think Yunchan's honesty makes his performance very special. When he plays, he does not hide his intentions and feelings. He plays with all his heart and sincerity as much as everyone can feel. He delivers the composer's message to the audience faithfully to the score, finds hidden notes and plays them so beautifully in his own way. It seems that the audience is immersed in the music and they are greatly impressed because he does not hide himself and approaches without embellishment.
So do I, IAW
So we’ll commented.
임윤찬 피아니스트가 특별한 이유는 철학을 품은 음악성이어서 입니다. 제가 영어를 못 해 아쉽습니다.
Вы правы!
Genuine mesmerizing young man
There just aren't enough superlatives to describe the talent and genius we have before us today. Such beauty in an ugly and hateful world. Blessings from somewhere beyond on us all.
Did anyone notice how beautiful his hands are?
Yes I did notice. Everything about him is beautiful! 😊
We all know I guess as long as we have eyes to appreciate them. Actually what is not beautiful about him?
Absolutely we all already knew the sublime beauty of his hands. 😂
Small hands
Yes, and that's why he's so handsome too 😉
What a sublime gift this young man is to all music lovers!
He is God's gift to mankind.
He truly is.
William Byrd is my direct ancestor and Bach saved my soul once upon a troubled time. The young prince of classical piano, in my lounge, with their music, is the most wondrous and joyous thing. Climb every mountain, Lim Yunchan, you amazing young man, old soul.
I was moved by your comment.
true, young man, old soul :)
heart speaks to heart ~~~ very grateful to your sharing
Truly inspiring comment
Climb every mountain to give penetrating encouragement and consolation
Climb every mountain -my favorite song! Your comment is beautiful
Finally, renaissance music played on piano by a relevant concert pianist since Gould. Beautiful.
I agree. ❤❤❤
Totally!
Yunchan's left hand is for punctuation and underlining. And it gives the effect of increasing the size of the first letter of the sentence.
Love your poetic metaphor!
Mr. Lim continues to demonstrate that even very young people can speak with artistic integrity and show us something new, even with music we know well. He gives me hope for the future of human beings.
❤
It is astonishing that such a young artist should have such a complete grasp of so many types of music, and should play them all with such depth of feeling as well as technical mastery. There has been no-one quite like him - long may he flourish.
Yunchan Lim is ‘rare artist who brings profound musicality and prodigious technique organically together.’ Thank you all.
Marin Alsop ^^
"Music does not convey emotions, it conveys the essence of emotions, the empty vessels!"
That's why i like his music
I compose piano pieces, and your comment has made me think what exactly am I doing? Interesting.
What an insightful comment. Great!
この若さで、ここまで静謐で、流麗で、高貴で、耽美な演奏が出来るなんて…

ただただ、あなたの存在に感謝です…
Google translation: At such a young age, I can't believe that he can play such a tranquil, flowing, noble, and aesthetically pleasing performance...
wow, what a great talent...
A series of quietly flying sounds...
Right now, at this moment... the world is at peace...
How glorious your existence is...
I just want to thank you for your existence...

God bless you.
The second of the sinfonias has never sounded so lovely, he is a completely natural master of any music he plays.
Damn, now I think I really have to sit down and listen to his playing with all my attentions for long hours. He perfectly knows what's lying under the notes being played. I have never ever listened to any similar playing of "Jesu Joy of Mans' Desiring" like this. Even fear and omnipresence of eternal love are present together, being transformed onto another celestial level. Can't belive that he is only 18 years old.
his playing is nothing short of miraculous, and I do believe with all my heart that Liszt, Beethoven, Bach would all give standing ovations.
I just bought my ticket for Yunchan's Carnegie Hall debut next February. I can hardly wait!!! Something marvelous to look forward to. I believe he is the greatest pianist of our time. There is something very soulful and driven about his playing. It's almost indescribable. Yet, I feel like we're witnessing a legend in the making.
Definitely! Can’t wait to buy tickets for Royal Festival Hall next year that will be great and very much looking forward to it!
Please share your experience there with the less fortunate.
@@catherinejones9396 I just wish I could explain beautiful Yunchan Lim’s playing as well as you do!
@@ukgrace You can. Listen to what he says and what is said about him then just listen to his recordings thoughtfully, and think about what they are telling you. It's quite easy to write about pure and wonderful music. Yunchan would tell you that that is the most important thing about what he does.
@@catherinejones9396 Thank you, Catherine.
Lim played all with absolutely unique, beautiful, creative, never-seen, touching, and truly musical interpretation!!!
Furthermore, he played every of all notes with absolute sensitivities!!! He is not only a genius but a truthful musician we have seen recently!!!
Absolutely agree with you.
Wow totally agree
Yunchan is deeply profound young soul and has nothing to do with old! He is the Genius!
Damn, what a concert! I love that he said his life hasn't changed. It's all about the music for him. He's like a being from another world bringing beauty and joy to our troubled, strife-ridden world!
"All that matters is to make good music. Him and the piano in totally focused relationship" - I love this pianist!
Yunchan Lim is composer's assistant, friend n instrument! He's playing makes a sound of nature. I wish he could be live Yunchan Lim's own undestroyable world.
Over the many years I have listened to many pianists, Yungchan is the very best. His playing has me at the edge of my seat, he brings me in the moment where he is. His soul is playing and my soul is deeply touched. Music in its purest form, elevated, almost astral. He is truly a genius and adds a joy to my life. Thank you Yungchan, from the bottom of my heart.
I can't agree more.

And this was in 1930s! Really shocking!!
Thanks to Yunchan Lim's performance, I came to understand Beethoven's humor properly.
So do I
can't agree more
Charles Rosen once told me that, as great as he was, Rudolph Serkin complete did not understand humor in Beethoven. As you point out Yunchan has clearly grasped and mastered this aspect of Beethoven
Oh my god the Bach..... beautiful... best since Gould.
Yunchan's "Lievestraum" performance contains passion for love, and at the same time, it perfectly expresses regret and recollection of the unfulfilled love.
So this performance made me doubt whether the feelings of love I knew were real, and at the same time, it made a big impression. Yunchan is the blessing of heaven.
You are quite a poet 😊
When I listen to his playing, I feel strangely that only he, his performance, and me exist in the world. It's quite unfamiliar because I've never experienced it when listening to other musicians' playing. It is a very special experience, intimate and moving.
I've never heard of such a beautiful and wonderful Franz Liszt::Liebestraume No.3
It is as if Yunchan Lim experiences love and plays the piano. 🌹 🌈 ❤ lt is emotional and amazing to see the delicate expression of love fever, pain, bitter heart, stormy passion, sigh, tears, and devotion.
When l think of Yunchan Lim, l feel like l am devoutly dedicated to the composer and respected Liszt!!
Yuncham Lim, the future of the Music.
This whole performance is nothing but an adamant confession of love for music, a solemn vow. This's a prayer. Such divine and humane solidity are combined in one pianist with formidable technique and unfathomable musicality, which is unprecedented. My eyes got teary when he was sining Liebestraum. It's Amen. Literally and Musically.
can't agree more
Yunchan Lim can’t save my soul but he is “The Only” pianist who can cleanses and purify my soul.
Sheer genius.

It is so extremely beautiful that there are no words to describe it. I learned that music can comfort and heal the wounds of the soul. I express my deep gratitude to Yunchan Lim and Wigmore Hall for giving me this new universe.
Yunchan's left hand is a blessing.
So is his right hand
So is his brain
So is his hair
😂😍❤️
나는 엄청난 연습의 결과인 윤찬의 왼손 타건과, 영롱한 멜러디와 그의 레가토를 사랑합니다.
I've heard these a thousand times, yet for the first time today.
His every note is the portal to a ‘spiritual’ journey, a truly staggering feat only the artists of the highest order can aspire to.
4 minutes into the Byrd and I have tears in my eyes. This is stunning.
OMG.. Im glad this video is still alive. 😭 Everyone was surprised.
This young pianist is so incredibly talented, not only can you hear the words just from his playing but you can feel them and the emotion that he puts into every key stroke. beautiful. 👏
공감합니디ㅣ
I don't know why I keep crying while listening to his performance. I think Yunchan's music certainly has the power to tap quietly but firmly deep inside.He is a really good pianist👏
You are already the best pianist in the world to me. It is irreplaceable. Thank you Yunchan.
The student as Master. What a stunning display of musicianship and depth of interpretation. I look forward to following his blossoming career, and am so thankful that he presented this program. We all know he "could" have presented the complete Transcendental Etudes by Liszt, but this was such an insightful and bold choice... I adore what it demonstrated in him as an artist.
Serious, very difficult but not showy repertoire. The result: spectacular.
Can’t agree more
I watched it live and his playing just leaves me speechless every. time. I feel blessed to live in the same era as him. May God keep him healthy. (The very first piece he played I never heard before and i just keep going back to that one WOW)
A once in a generation virtuoso, whose musicianship, technique, sound, and maturity are unparalleled. He doesn't have to throw in unnecessary gimmicks and histrionics. Not a stereotypical Korean pianist. Cannot wait to see him live.
Вы правы!
You should say some stereotypical pianists, not just Korean pianists.
@@ddestiny44 But Korean pianists, like Russian, Chinese and some others are defined by cultural cliches you would see overtly in their playing, usually to compensate for lack of talent or real feeling in their playing.
@@elliotthayes1644 I don't think Korean pianists neither showy nor play overtly, but actually play the opposite, i.e. SeongJin Cho and other newly discovered Korean pianists are all focused on musicality rather than empty showiness or techniques. Talking about talent, can you then point out the countries with so much more talent than the ones you have mentioned??? You are just a biased ideologist or racist, or both.
@@elliotthayes1644IDTS
The audience must be the most blessed people in the new year.
Is not like I can name all the great pianists of the last decade. I don't have much of a point of reference but as a piano student let me tell you, I have fallen for Bach with this man better than with any of my teachers. I think I get it know. Thanks Yunchan
So do I
SSAhmes. The reason you can’t name any noteworthy pianists during the last few decades is that there haven’t been any really outstanding ones. There are only some keyboard technicians but not any true artists until now. There have been no Schnabels Cortots, Lipattis, Gilels or Michelangelis. The nearest one to those was Horowitz but no-one else gets anywhere close.
The best no-coughing audience I ever heard!
It's really sad coz I could give you just one lke.

I have never been able to become a long term fan of classical music. It's not like I dislike classic, I do like it, just not consistent enough. But Yunchan Lim and his music has made me obsessed with classic and I think I will study classical music in deeper level technically, historically and artistically as well as attend many classical performances for the purpose of being able to better understand, interpret and appreciate Mr. Lim's music and all his performances. I don't know why but my guts tells me his work is essential for my soul. He has become my religion.
Lim drew the light of Music from original score with only the clarity and the very accuracy. I’m moved by the subtle and distinct vibe from his finger tips. So lovely.
Jesu, joy of man's desiring. It comforts me who had a hard time today and allows me to move on to tomorrow.
OMG? Why is it that every time I listen to Yun-Chan I cry?
Thank you young man.
Where does he get this stunning depth? Speechless!
All of pianist Yunchan Lim's performances on this stage are excellent and moving.
In particular, his Bach playing makes me listen with bated breath.
His playing always brings tears to my eyes, as if he is in soul-to-heart communication with the composer he plays.
I will always support his future as a true musician.
I've never had thought about living longer. But today I found the reason to do that, which is to enjoy his music more . Especially I hope that he would play Goldberg variations live before I die.
I just got tix for his Goldberg variations at Carnegie Hall next year!! I hope you can make it there too!
@@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094I hope to go too! but I cannot find any individual tickets….😢
To borrow the words of an older master and Van Cliburn 2022 juror (Jean-Efflam Bavouzet)
"A young master at work. A young master at work."
After listening a little more to Yunchan Lim I have to say he already now is a brilliant pianist. The world is open for his genious.
And he was born in 2005! How will he sound in 2035?
👍 It's almost the same..... Space Treasure & Genius was born on a happy day on Mar. 20, 2004. There is no doubt that he will still bring us beautiful and deep music in 2035. Glory times are happy. We were lucky. 🥹💛

Great comments on this very special pianist who truly deserves all the accolades. He is touched by angels
weight of this young man is incredible
I am crying while listening to his Beethoven Bagatelles performance.
My life was split before and after meeting him.❤
Real real real artists, his music is real in the world. Anyone can feel it.
This musician is on a star track upward. Evidence A: the live performance was being watched by 4,500 viewers-a number equal to 10 percent of Wigmore’s subscriber base. On a weekday. B: Four hours later this video is up to 26,000 views. Think Maestro Van Cliburn would approve. 🎉
It is a great gift to the audience to learn the power of music through Yunchan Lim’s performance.
I was lucky enough to witness this performance at the venue and his focus was palpable in the air! And of course I didn't know Yunchan had that convo with Michael White about Bagatelles until I watched this video. I have to vouch for him that many in the audience including myself had to let out a sigh of awe and really laughed a little after each one because they were so exquisite and charming. He says nothing has changed really after winning the competition but he's changing the classical world. Bravo maestro!
Thank you Lara for sharing your experience with us. I hope I could witness Yunchan's performance directly in someday but here in Korea, it seems to be almost impossible to get a ticket !!

I have listened 15 Bach Sinfonias and 7 Bagatells performed by Yunchan when he was at 16 years old. As soon as I listnened his Bach of this performance I could recognize he has been evolving. His rubato has become more matured and Bagatelles have been more energetic and witty! I am so thrilled I could be a one of witnesses of progressing that a young gifted pianist is maturing to a maestro in my era.
ㅂ
He plays the great music as a true maestro that he is with 18 year old sensibility. One of many reasons why his playing is utterly mesmerizing.
I got addicted to this recital. His playing is so sincere and true and pure and so on. How can he make sound so diverse and subtle? He could definitely make this world a better place through his soul-purifying music.

Said it before..IMHO, the only comparison to Yunchan Lim is when Tiger Woods first debuted. Yunchan just dominates every performance, while the few but older naysayers complain about his lack of experience, or is too emotional, etc. Yunchan is a once in generation pianist and like what Tiger did for golf, Yunchan will attract more fond interest in the Classical music genre. Also, he's not the next Lang Lang or Danil or even Horowitz...he's Yunchan Lim.
Well said! 🎉🌹

To wax lyrical over the timeless beauty of it all would defeat the purpose of Music itself, which in the hands of Yunchan Lim realises itself as the voice of the sublime. How he serves the art that defines him, and with such a humble heart. Yunchan, God bless you!
Totally, well said !
@@takyeeaw2639 Blessings!
cheers
Can’t agree more. He in fact stated his intention to do just that in an interview he gave in Korea after he won the Van Cliburn.
@@liberty2308 I have seen a couple of interviews he has done, one in which he said a melody by Mozart caused his heart to shake! That was beautiful!
Until today, I was not able to think of any better pianism than the Yunchan's performance in Van Cliburn by anybody even by himself. But wait... what's happening here? I can say that this is another legendary record of piano music. For sure.
From even silence and emptiness and formlessness Yunchan Lim creates beautiful and full of sound and motion . Oh, It's blessing and joy.
Wow, nobody plays the Bach Sinfonias in concert, maybe not even Andras Schiff. Great program overall. It's refreshing to see a young talented pianist who is brave enough to go off the beaten path and finds his way around comfortably!
Gould did. A very GG program which for me is lovely to hear.
Yes , but his rendition makes music so beautiful.
That's exactly what I love about him!
Yunchan follows Gould who he has respected to
@@user-io6df8gd1m yes. Yunchan had a UA-cam account and has made comments on some videos. It's interesting to get an idea of what has influenced him.
He’s the Generation Z’s answer to Evgeny Kissin!
Bravissimo!
Wow… great compliment ever.
Those hands are double orchestras--dual operatic productions even. He has such precise dynamic control of each note and a well-developed sense of pacing. The contrast he brings out between the two hands and even in a single phrase in one hand keeps the music fresh, intriguing, and extremely compelling. His fortes are loud, but not overwhelming. His pianos are soft and delicate and his mezzo pianos and mezzo fortes are very well placed and clear as crystal. His choices of passagework with and without pedal, with staccato or legato, with crescendo, diminuendo, or at a steady volume are also all highly refreshing and mesmerizingly beautiful. All the aesthetic nuances were most tasteful, most artfully done, and such a pleasure for me to listen to. He creates such a unique audio landscape with each piece. What wonderful storytelling! Added to that, he is neither showy nor bombastic and lets the music be the centerpiece of your attention--what excellent playing. Sometimes I wish I could've heard some of the greats play--Chopin, Liszt, Schumann (Clara), Alkan, Mendelssohn (Felix and Fanny), Cramer, Field, etc. Today, I am a little less envious of those who could. For in our generation, a true virtuoso has arrived, and his name is Yunchan Lim.
So do I, IAW
All your comments are on point👏👏👏👏👏
Perfectly expressed!! 💯👏👏👏👏👏💚💙💜
Excellent observation. This is one of the best review I've read.
Wow. who are you?
Just wonderful. As so many here have already eloquently and passionately described his pianistic mastery, I would just like to mention how impressed I am with Yunchan Lim's thoughtful choice of repertoire. These pieces are rarely performed in concert and are probably considered to be more suitable for students by many. But here, they are raised to the highest level in a way only a select few musicians could achieve. It demonstrates that a great pianist does not need the big warhorses to shine. And, in a humbling way, it shows that he knows his place, he knows that there is still room and time to grow.
You are so right, in every respect.
So true.. Can't agree more.
Прекрасный комментарий!
그의 연주는 철학자의 언어같습니다.
음을 다루는 기술이 그렇습니다.
So it appears that another talent of his is his choosing his repertoire... For each stage of the competition, for the recital here, post-award. It says so much about his skills, thoughts and introduces new insights and sounds to his listeners, attracting new fans to classical music too.
Here, he knew it's a smaller, intimate hall than the Cliburn's, and he wanted to hear the nuances of quiet pieces. As always, every performance of his is in full consideration of the music. Goosebumps.
I don't like Bach or Liszt, but after Yuchan's performance I've changed my mind 😭😭💕💕💕💕💕💕
His repect to Gould is real lol.
It's amazing a pinist with the best virtuosity in the era has also the highest spirit.
14:37 my favorite Sinfonia, maybe I can learn to play it. The way he plays it touches my heart.
