- The Toronto Symphony Orchestra hosted Lang Lang in an unprecedented two-week residency on November 2011. During his residency, Annie Zhou (13) appeared with him in his interview with host Alexa Petrenko at Toronto's at Classical 96.3FM, Canada Classical Radio Station on Nov.11, 2011. Annie played Liszt's Concert Etude No. 3 in D-flat Major, "Un Sospiro", S. 144/3 during the interview. This video is an excerpt from the interview.
Lang Lang: "yeah" lol
How did Liszt ever create such beauty from such a complicated piece of music and how in God's name did a 13 year old manage to play it with those tiny hands?! Incredible
Brian Dennehy tiny piano dude! Doesn't make her any less amazing tho 😎
pal joey if only he could know the effect his music is having on people hundreds of years later 😐

@@suk4honesty is that actually true?
The thing that’s so amazing about this isn’t that she can play it, it’s the fact that she plays the entirety of it perfectly, in front of a crowd and Lang Lang.
Sorry but follow the score. It wasn't perfect but for 13, she's forgiven.
The most impressive part is actually the phrasing. For any age the voicing and phrasing is astonishing.
this is the best version i have ever heard and it just so happens to be by a 13 year old. would love to hear her play it now
Surely one of Liszt's most beautiful works, Un Sospiro is heard at its very best in this supremely inspired performance. The immense stretches, hand crossings and dazzling passagework, which would defeat many a much older pianist, are handled effortlessly and with great smoothness, creating a sea of liquid sound. Congratulations Annie on an outstanding musical achievement !
I know I've commented on this before, but it really is one of the finest performances of Un Sospiro I have heard. Very beautiful!
Lang Lang - "Yea!!!!!..............."
Very difficult piece to achieve the even wave like flow and the build up to climax. She plays this better than most professional pianists
Put this on whilst doing my homework and forgot I listening to a young teen playing. Genuinely had the sensitivity and expression of a much older pianist. Incredibly played, I'm 16 and no where near that level. Truly impressive.
This is an interpretation!! She is a real artist!! This is seldom. Brava!
Happy Birthday Franz Liszt!!!
Wow, how did I ever miss this performance, Janet?? Annie simply sparkles with brilliant virtuosity!! What an honor to be there with Lang Lang, as well. I have to say, she is as good as he is, even at her young age :-))) Always a pleasure to watch a musical genius at work. Bravo Annie! ~Jackie
Very Talented Pianist..
you're my favorite pianist. you are amazing. way better than Lang Lang.

Listening to this with headphones makes me want to cry.
Best interpretation I have heard of this piece. She is feeling this ,,, not simply playing it . Better than the times I have heard Hamline videos or Lang Lang's .
Adding on here.... After listening to many renditions of Un Sospiro by various artists on piano as well as harp, I began to imagine that the body of this piece is not the sigh. The body is a daydream or a fond memory or even something more physical ...a kiss possibly or lovers' embracing .. The sigh comes when all that is finished.. right at the end. This interpretation by Annie Zhou helped me hear that at 6:24
Oh Annie, having watched you play, Chopin two years later, I've just got to say you are a unique, sublime player, with the most impressive "gift" that I've heard in a very long time, what a talent, as well as all the very hard work that you've put in. I would say that Langlang, should be worried, as you could take the world by storm! Bravo, once more.
This is the best version of Un sospiro. I come to your performance to hear it. This is GOLD. never stop playing, please. 🤍🎵🎶
@@constantinosfiakkas6865 Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. Your support means a lot and keeps me motivated to continue working hard. Thanks again for watching!
Lang Lang must have been impressed by such wonderful playing!
I wonder who did camera/audio. I'd fire him(or her).

To see and listen Annie play Liszt is like having had a wonderful dream.
It seems that his hands effloresce without touch the piano.
I have really loved this great performance Annie.
It is splendid !
Congratulations !
Bravo !
I'm speechless. The voicing was sparkling with clarity!
Revisiting this for the simple wonder of you Annie. It still rates as one of the finest performances that I have heard. Blessings!
Drop dead gorgeous interpretation. I'm Impressed and jealous lol
Bravo. That was very impressive... Just as books are like movies for smart people..The piano is like a jukebox for the gifted.
It's not a matter of gift but a matter of amount of work.
My goodness. You do not teach this kind of emotion. Keep playing Annie, you will inspire and bring joy to millions (if you haven't already!).
A genius. Minor technical quibbles aside, the big-picture story she weaves is more convincing than Hamelin, Cziffra, Lang Lang, Trinonov, Cliburn, Richter, (!) and many others I've heard. Every adjustment she made for her hands was so tasteful and every phrase was so unusually balanced. We all could learn something from this one. Just wow! Liszt above is tipping his hat off to you.
@@mr.k5865 I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Your support is greatly appreciated. 💕
dynamics and pauses are important in musical interpretation, but Tone is one of the most important aspects that separate this Annie Zhou from even Lang Lang himself!
This is a truly outstanding performance of this piece... by any standards.
It's always a pleasure to see young prodigies excel. Having a very good teacher also makes a big difference to these young gifted learners. Sounded great. I'm sure there are a few more there that can give her a run for the prize.
Chopin wasn't the only one that wrote beautiful pieces. Liszt wrote some beautiful contemplative pieces....Liebestraum, Consolation, Un Sospiro, etc.
Many thanks! 💕
Came to listen again ..... B E A U T I F U L as always !
Well executed Annie....great finger work and technique with incredible feelings shown...Bravo...keep up the great work!!!
Dear Janet: thank you for sharing this wonderful rendition of the young lady Annie! ...She lead me in a wonderful musical travel!
Wonderful feeling, touch tone, technique and sensitivity. Dear Annie, you're always a model for us!
Dear Annie, never cease to amaze your performances ... but what strikes me is your complete devotion to the piano, never trying to pretend false virtuosity or geniality, your interpretation is always respectful of the author and to the message that its author inserted in it, in fact reminds me the piano style from the old German school.
In one word, beautiful. God bless you.
Annie: Your touch is extremely beautiful and versatile! And your performance of this Liszt étude was extraordinary. Bravo!
Hi Janet, I've returned again for another listen to this wonderful performance. such incredible talent. Annie's playing actually makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. pure magic..my best wishes to you and young Annie...take care dear friend...Ronnie
Hi Janet, thanks honey for sharing Annie's incredible performance with us. and my congratulaions to Annie on another amazing performance.
I feel Annie's exceptional ability and talent exerts an influence on music that is far in advance of anything I have seen in someone so young. my very best wishes to you both..your friend ..Ronnie
This is why Annie is one of my favorite pianist. Absolute beauty and perfection in everything she plays. Thank you Janet, this is beautiful.
So beautiful!! You're always the best of best in our hearts! Bravo, Annie!!!!!!!!
Very nice work.....
And very relaxing to listen to.
Best wishes for a beautiful new day!
I just love your performance Annie,,,your fingers so delicately bringing Liszt's... "Un Sospiro" to life!!! Every time I listen it fills me more. Bravo!!! Brilliant!!!
Wonderful Annie, perfect performances, so mesmerizing, very enjoyable, dear Janet, thanks for sharing. Best wishes. ♥♥ ~ Maggie ~ ♥♥
I cannot seem to listen to this piece without getting misty eyed and most of Lizst's works don't affect me that way. Congratulations on the Ettlingen prize, Annie. You are a precious gem...
We can listen, listen and listen ...
Here I am once again back to listen and to say - Bravo, Annie !
Thank you Janet for your message...Annie is so blessd, her hands lightly dance upon the keys creating such a lovely flowing sound..bring it stgraight to my heart!!!
What a beautiful performance! And, Annie, you are so lucky to be with Lang Lang so many times!
such transcendent beauty is revealed in the sensitive and flawless execution by Miss Annie Zhou of this timeless composition of sonic art by the Maestro Liszt. thank you very much Annie, omedeto gozaimasu (Happy New Year!) and greetings from Tokyo.
Thank you so much, Salgoud! I really appreciate your very insightful comment on this video! I wish you a wonderful, happy, healthy and prosperous New Year 2014!
More beautiful than Lang Lang .
yes, i agree. she has an incredible gift of playing the piano. thank you very much for the kind words, and greetings from Yokohama, doug
Unbelievable achievement with such a correct delicate approach....I have loved this music since I was 4 years old
Excellent work !
Superb artistry, technique, sensitivity... . Annie keeps blossoming musically - her playing sounds so gracious and effortless!
gorgeous, sensitive playing!!!
Brava, Annie. Love it. Nice to see you on the same stage with Lang Lang. Thank you very much.
I return to this performance by you Annie, it's really so beautiful.
I just love listening to Annie! Having witnessed many performances at countless competitions, I can see something very special in her musicality...Bravo!
As usual, thank you for sharing. As a bystander I just follow these uploads for the music and it's a pleasure to listen to each and every time.
bravissimo! that is a breath-taking performance of one of my favorite pieces by Liszt. just beautiful . . . thank you very much and greetings from Tokyo.
What an amazing talent - absolutely out there on top with the very best pianists of today. Not just another romantic virtuoso piece, the way many pianists make it - you interpret it with a melancholy, which develops into despair, the true essence of Liszt - then there is a gentle resignation. The best, Annie, you're the BEST!!
Annie - Fantastic rendition for so young a pianist. This was a mature and delightful performance which amply demonstrates that you are fulfilling your promise. I was enthralled. Also it was a fine recording and a wonderful showcase for your talents. Perhaps you will play at the Queen's 70th Jubilee in 2022 when you will surely be an established artist. Brava!
Thank you for posting Janet - you must be so proud of Annie. I am delighted for her.
My pleasure Janet it is much deserved...I appreciate your encouragement and kind words as well!!!
God bless you all,
Susan
Had to come back and listen to this again. It is a pure beauty. Thanks, Annie!

Thank you!!
@@OldRabit ,
Thank you!!!
how beautiful it is to revisit this performance... which stands up so formidably through time!
Thank you Janet, for sharing. Frankly my dear Annie, an amazing rendition, nothing is lacking phrasing, musicality & sensitivity is your talent that continues to grow leads you to excellence. An amazing performance that I'll watch often. Good luck for your future together. Jacques de Vendée
Annie and Janet, I came back to listen to this great performance by Annie and realized that my original comment is not here anymore, so I would like to comment again on this magical performance!!! This is truly one of the most beautiful Liszt works, wrapped in incredible complexity. Annie's performance at just 13 years of age is nothing short of amazing....astounding really since most adult pianists will never achieve this level of play in their lifetime. The quick crossover work alone is breathtaking. Add to that the intricate and sparkling arpeggios and other complexities and it's truly an amazing feat!! BRAVO and a standing ovation for young Annie :-) ~ Jackie
Dear Jackie, Thank you so much for your sincere comment! It is just so encouraging! I will write you more...
You are so very welcome dear Janet!! To me, Annie is of the best of this world and plays with a touch and heart seldom seen!! Such a standout performer and beautiful, intelligent young woman. She has it all and you must be so proud!! Much love to you and your whole family! :-) ~Jackie
Very well played. Precise and beautiful. I can hear the different layers clear and independently analyzed and brought for us to listen! A talented young artist. Brava! Thanks Annie for giving your own view to this famous piece. ❤
Thank you very much for watching and commenting! It is really encouraging!
Wonderful, Annie, congratulations ! and thank you for sharing !
Annie is getting so big and beautiful! Her interpretation is outstanding ,congratulations!!!
Wonderful and enchanting interpretation with full mastery of pianist tecnique. Regards from Italy.
Absolutely beautifully and artistically played, as always!
Just wonderful! Very beaurtiful! Congratulations! Good luck to you! Thanks OldRabit for posting and sharing.
We love to focus on perfection, but what blows me away is the isolation of melody amid those runs and the ebb and flow of expression that is yours. Transcendental.
What a beautiful performance with superb touch and control, and of course your feeling the music! You are amazing, Annie!
Great! You can see in Lang Lang´s face how touched he is by that playing probably remembering himself as a child...
One of my favorites. Wonderful! I watch and listen with tons of admiration -- and a touch of envy! ;)
Incredible maturity was shown in this performance of the Liszt by a young and talented pianist...The singing tone of the melody and rippling effect of accompanying arpeggiated chords were achieved with great ease and beauty...
Every of Annie's performances makes me speechless again. I'm ever so happy if I finally find the time to listen to some of her performances. She plays with so much feeling, it's just incredible! Yea, I think she'll become - no, I've to correct - she already IS one of our greatest female pianists of our time. Thanks for giving us so much with your music, Annie!
What a gorgeous and fantastic performance! Colourful shaping and impressive phrasing...Bravo!!
A breathtakingly beautiful and sensitive performance of a piece that can so often sound virtuosic without communicating much else... Many Congratulations, Annie and all best wishes,
Maria
I noticed that too. How anyone could dislike this is beyond me. And I discovered that I hadn't rated this one yet myself.
An amazingly terrific interpretation!
Who would dislike such an absolutely magnificent performance? I dislike them!!
Musical .... artistic .... simply beautiful. An honor to be your friend!!!
GOOD LUCK ANNIE .... we wish you the best.

This performance, exquisitely poised and controlled, shows total command of the technical and musical features of this difficult piece.
That was beautiful ❤️
Annie what a beautiful performance that was! And what a great opportunity that you deserve every bit of it! You're amazing.
Simply Brilliant! Really hope you win GB. All the best!
With eyes closed I thought I was listening to Marc Hamelin (who BTW is a master of this piece)....JUST AMAZING...and unaffected....a truly gifted talent destined for greater things to come.
Hamelin is faster, but the softness and smoothness of the rendition is the same.
So beautiful end playing with so tenderness !! Marvellous and dear Annie, it's a great emotion listening to you !!!
