South Korea, thank you for your humble, civilized, polite Yunchan Lim, pianist, winner. His beautiful behavior is a lesson for us Westerners. 🌷🌷🌷 (The Netherlands)
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.
@@vvvv-n5t 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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
I believe this is the performance that proved to some of the toughest and serious music critics - 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…😊
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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! 🙇♂🙇♂🙇♂
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
@@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.
"Hats off, here is a genius!!" Yunchan is only 18 but plays like a 70 year old master pianist. He may have the potential to surpass virtuoso Uchida , who won second prize in Chopin competition in 1970. Hope that he does better than Ivo Pogorelich and Sultanov. He may soon be inducted to be one of the great pianists in the 21st century. Thank you so much Yunchan and Wigmore Hall. He may be a legendary artist in the making. Thank God.
@@Paroles_et_Musique Yunchan’s playing is much closer to the composers intentions and 19th century performance practice than any of the above pianists. Not saying they’re bad, but Yunchan was lucky to have his teacher whom taught him the 19th century performance practice along with how to have a good balance and achieve quiet dynamics on modern pianos. Along with a good understanding of rhythm and rubato it’s no wonder why Yunchan has already captured the hearts of people much quicker than Zimmerman or the others did.
@@TheLifeisgood72 Ummm, no. How you know how artists performed in the 19th century? There are no recordings but only individual reviews, written by enthusiasts so the objectivity is not at full. How his teacher taught him 19th century performances and what that ever means? In Korea nobody practiced classical music until 1950 or so. What is "achieve quiet dynamics on modern pianos"? That phrase doesn't make any sense, it means nothing. What is "understanding of rhythm and rubato"? Rhythm is scientifically accessible, as for rubato, there is no known rule, it boils down to each one experience and sensitivity. There are no two pianists with same rubato. Yuchan Lim captured the heart of people because we have x1000 more media exposure than in the times of Zimmerman or Sokolov. As for reaching their level, he has still a very long way to go. He is exceptional for his age, sure, but what was his career, 6 months and 15 musical works played, then you compare this tiny journey with god-level musicians after one life of performing and say "he surpassed them"? Come on, you are smarter than that.
@@Paroles_et_Musique I’ve studied Grieg’s and Saint-Saens’ old recordings and you can extrapolate a lot about their approach to rhythm and dynamics. They are good representations of the schools they attended, matching written accounts, so we cannot say we have no idea what the 19th century composers wanted. You can figure out the rubato and dynamics of notes somewhat by studying voice leading and the harmony. This is all stuff written in old sources. Yunchan is definitely aware of all of this and tbh I’m not sure that those old pianists from the 60’s and 70’s were based on their playing which is rather idiosyncratic at times especially with lesser known opus’s. If you think of dynamics in terms of MIDI’s 0-127, then most modern pianos struggle to produce dynamics below levels 40-50 with ease. They have heavier hammers and farther key travel time. Most modern pianists play quite loud in contrast to 19th century pianists, and it does not sound good for this music all the time. Yunchan is capable of being very quiet, it’s clear he puts a lot of focus into playing quietly. It shows his understanding of the music and what it requires to be beautiful whilst having the technique to work within the limitations of modern pianos.
Today news: 🎉🎉🎉 Pianist Yunchan Lim’s recital is one of the most viewed Wigmore Hall livestreams to date;❤ at his request ❤ we’ve made his recital available again online for free so our audience can relive the memory of this incredibly special concert.

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
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...

Franz Liszt No3, love dream, is one of my favourite piece and this is the variation I have never heard. However, I really love it and just the beauty behind key control is amazing!
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.
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.
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

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!
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.
Talent and maturity + exceptional teaching/tutoring. The finger prints of his teacher Minsoo Sohn are evident in the restraint, silent moments and control of phrasing. Amazing.
Brilliant performance, with those crystal clear notes. I always get the feeling Yunchan Lim elevated whoever was in the room with him. Experiences that ranged from the sublime to the passionate... I am witnessing an artist who is devoted to music. This is why I'm interested in this young pianist.
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.
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.
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.
If Mozart and Liszt produced an offspring and he was taught by Horowitz, it might be Yunchan. For people marveling at his maturity and breadth of music knowledge, I encourage you to look up JJAT duo. In particular their 2 piano arrangement of Saint Saens Carnival of the Animals. With his individual and chamber music endeavors Yunchan is certainly the future of classical music.
@@오용석-k6u I am! :) As well as Yunchan's Japanese doppelgänger, Masaya Kamei, winner of the 2022 Long-Thibaud competition and semi-finalist in the Cliburn. So many promising young pianists to watch!
I'm starting to like even Beethoven more and more in Yunchan Lim's performance. Thanks to the talented pianist! It was an exciting journey into the world of music!
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.
Come on! Yunchan Lim colorless ice cold piano sound! All the modern pianists ice cold colorless piano sound like=Zimerman Kissin Hamelin Pletnev Yuja Wang Buniatishvili Malofeev Stephen Hough! The best beautiful colorful piano sound players are Really=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Artur Rubinstein Radu Lupu Vladimir Ashkenazy! Dimitri Bashkirov her teacher Anastasia Virsaladze teach saying the most important lesson is the Love of the beautiful colorful piano sound! We need more teachers like Anastasia Virsaladze! And this was in 1930s! Really shocking!!
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!!
I was lucky enough to attend this concert in person. Having listened to classical music pretty much my entire life, I have never listened to anyone play music that touched my soul so deeply, and this includes the masters of the past. During the performance I was completely at the mercy of his music, my heart felt so full and I had tears in my eyes. To this day I still can’t put my finger on exactly what makes me feel this way, only that whenever I listen to him I know that I’m beholding the art of a true genius and gift to this world. He is on a completely different level and his music transcends space and time. Luckily bumped into Yunchan and team after the concert, aside from this god given talent, he is also one of the most modest, kind, selfless and bashful people I have ever met!
I’m completely with you in your observations. I have no idea of why, but the moment his fingers touch the keys 🎹 I have goosebumps and tears flow. It did happened the first time I heard him at the Cliburn and ever since. What a gift to humanity. He is an ARTIST!
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.
@@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.
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)

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
I return once more and must ask: "Have we just witnessed a verifiable MIRACLE in our midst?"
I am at a loss for words.
What a sublime gift this young man is to all music lovers!
I hope I can continue to watch this video. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful piano performance video.

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.❤
Unselfishness, purity, and nobility. He reminds me of at some point a highest priest or defender in music if it exists.

"Hats off, here is a genius!!" Yunchan is only 18 but plays like a 70 year old master pianist. He may have the potential to surpass virtuoso Uchida , who won second prize in Chopin competition in 1970. Hope that he does better than Ivo Pogorelich and Sultanov. He may soon be inducted to be one of the great pianists in the 21st century. Thank you so much Yunchan and Wigmore Hall. He may be a legendary artist in the making. Thank God.
He’s already surpassed those folks by a lot.
@@TheLifeisgood72 lol guys, you don't have a clue what you talking about.
@@Paroles_et_Musique Yunchan’s playing is much closer to the composers intentions and 19th century performance practice than any of the above pianists. Not saying they’re bad, but Yunchan was lucky to have his teacher whom taught him the 19th century performance practice along with how to have a good balance and achieve quiet dynamics on modern pianos. Along with a good understanding of rhythm and rubato it’s no wonder why Yunchan has already captured the hearts of people much quicker than Zimmerman or the others did.
@@TheLifeisgood72 Ummm, no.
How you know how artists performed in the 19th century? There are no recordings but only individual reviews, written by enthusiasts so the objectivity is not at full.
How his teacher taught him 19th century performances and what that ever means? In Korea nobody practiced classical music until 1950 or so.
What is "achieve quiet dynamics on modern pianos"? That phrase doesn't make any sense, it means nothing.
What is "understanding of rhythm and rubato"? Rhythm is scientifically accessible, as for rubato, there is no known rule, it boils down to each one experience and sensitivity. There are no two pianists with same rubato.
Yuchan Lim captured the heart of people because we have x1000 more media exposure than in the times of Zimmerman or Sokolov. As for reaching their level, he has still a very long way to go. He is exceptional for his age, sure, but what was his career, 6 months and 15 musical works played, then you compare this tiny journey with god-level musicians after one life of performing and say "he surpassed them"? Come on, you are smarter than that.
@@Paroles_et_Musique I’ve studied Grieg’s and Saint-Saens’ old recordings and you can extrapolate a lot about their approach to rhythm and dynamics. They are good representations of the schools they attended, matching written accounts, so we cannot say we have no idea what the 19th century composers wanted. You can figure out the rubato and dynamics of notes somewhat by studying voice leading and the harmony. This is all stuff written in old sources. Yunchan is definitely aware of all of this and tbh I’m not sure that those old pianists from the 60’s and 70’s were based on their playing which is rather idiosyncratic at times especially with lesser known opus’s.
If you think of dynamics in terms of MIDI’s 0-127, then most modern pianos struggle to produce dynamics below levels 40-50 with ease. They have heavier hammers and farther key travel time. Most modern pianists play quite loud in contrast to 19th century pianists, and it does not sound good for this music all the time. Yunchan is capable of being very quiet, it’s clear he puts a lot of focus into playing quietly. It shows his understanding of the music and what it requires to be beautiful whilst having the technique to work within the limitations of modern pianos.
He played with all his soul.
"He is MUSIC incarnate"

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
Yunchan is deeply profound young soul and has nothing to do with old! He is the Genius!
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!

The second of the sinfonias has never sounded so lovely, he is a completely natural master of any music he plays.
Franz Liszt No3, love dream, is one of my favourite piece and this is the variation I have never heard. However, I really love it and just the beauty behind key control is amazing!
The most amazing thing is that his play sounds attractive even to the normal listener who are not aware of piano.
Agree~
Agree
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.
@@jacobschiller4486 what are you saying about? you intended to say it is not that much excellent?
Let's donate to Wigmore Hall!
With no doubt I did while live streaming. I’m so grateful for Wigmore hall.
I did.☺️
Yes I did😊
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.

many thanks.
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
@@이평화-d9c 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.

His repect to Gould is real lol.
It's amazing a pinist with the best virtuosity in the era has also the highest spirit.
It happened to me again. I can't stop repeating his play just as his Rach No3 last June. So beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful. .
Yuncham Lim, the future of the Music.
A gifted musician!
Can we please please keep this most beautiful video ……
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
He’s Catholic
i can not get out of you Yunchan Lim, i respect you sincerely.
Talent and maturity + exceptional teaching/tutoring. The finger prints of his teacher Minsoo Sohn are evident in the restraint, silent moments and control of phrasing. Amazing.
I feel like I'm in heaven,
forgetting my daily life.
so beautiful in tears.💕💕
Yunchan Lim - Phenomenal and Unrivaled
Brilliant performance, with those crystal clear notes. I always get the feeling Yunchan Lim elevated whoever was in the room with him. Experiences that ranged from the sublime to the passionate... I am witnessing an artist who is devoted to music. This is why I'm interested in this young pianist.
Oh my god the Bach..... beautiful... best since Gould.
4 minutes into the Byrd and I have tears in my eyes. This is stunning.
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 never saw this coming that I fall in love with the pianist.
Here here!!
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?
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
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 !!
If Mozart and Liszt produced an offspring and he was taught by Horowitz, it might be Yunchan. For people marveling at his maturity and breadth of music knowledge, I encourage you to look up JJAT duo. In particular their 2 piano arrangement of Saint Saens Carnival of the Animals. With his individual and chamber music endeavors Yunchan is certainly the future of classical music.
We need to keep an eye on Jinwoo Bae, his friend and a member of JJAT DUO!
@@오용석-k6u Why should we? Mr. Bae needs to prove himself that he's good enough. So far he's only famous for being Mr. Lim's friend. That's all.😄
@@오용석-k6u I am! :) As well as Yunchan's Japanese doppelgänger, Masaya Kamei, winner of the 2022 Long-Thibaud competition and semi-finalist in the Cliburn. So many promising young pianists to watch!

From even silence and emptiness and formlessness Yunchan Lim creates beautiful and full of sound and motion . Oh, It's blessing and joy.
Out of this world.
I'm starting to like even Beethoven more and more in Yunchan Lim's performance. Thanks to the talented pianist! It was an exciting journey into the world of music!
Sublime beauty of piano.
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.

When l think of Yunchan Lim, l feel like l am devoutly dedicated to the composer and respected Liszt!!
A promising young musician! seems modest and polite too, a quality which is going to help him in his career.
A bright star in the future.
I was lucky enough to attend this concert in person. Having listened to classical music pretty much my entire life, I have never listened to anyone play music that touched my soul so deeply, and this includes the masters of the past. During the performance I was completely at the mercy of his music, my heart felt so full and I had tears in my eyes. To this day I still can’t put my finger on exactly what makes me feel this way, only that whenever I listen to him I know that I’m beholding the art of a true genius and gift to this world. He is on a completely different level and his music transcends space and time.
Luckily bumped into Yunchan and team after the concert, aside from this god given talent, he is also one of the most modest, kind, selfless and bashful people I have ever met!
Thank you for sharing.
"His music touched my soul so deeply"- That is how I feel in his music.
Envy you so much!
I’m completely with you in your observations.
I have no idea of why, but the moment his fingers touch the keys 🎹 I have goosebumps and tears flow. It did happened the first time I heard him at the Cliburn and ever since. What a gift to humanity. He is an ARTIST!
You were the luckiest person on earth that day. 😂
