If were doing it by country then Lucasz Krupinski already won
Wow I just got done listening to Cho he was FANTASTIC! I was surprised to hear a sonata in the second stage but that's all right. He play it epicly. Same with the waltz and polonaise. I wouldn't be surprised if Lu, Kobayashi, Cho, Hamelin, and Ksiazek are all in finals.
yes Cho's playing is amazing... I remember his Sonata 2 in the Rubinstein Competition... most of the other contestants were p flaky. Then I listened to his sonata, and I was like "damnnn!!!"He is a master of playing with emotional intensity... even better than 2 years ago!
Although, I don't think Yuja Wang would get far in any competition. Far too unpolished, her playing is.
Oh also his Appssionata! And Schumann Des Abends!!Riiiiiight y'all here hate Schumann's works
DID ANYBODY SEE KATE LIU TODAY??!!!
The pressure must be huge, because most of the people either play Op. 22 or Op. 53
I know! What about op 26?!?!!?!?!?!
OMG I think Dang Thai Son's Mazurka Op. 17 #4 is even better than Rafal Blechacz's!!
Ai ya..
WTEF Are u Chineze?
Haha, I eat dogs, with my cup of tea and scotch fingers.
^ Thank you!and YAS
What?
Lol it's pretty awesome how classical music is everywhere in WarsawWhy can't the rest of the world be like that??
Because everywhere else is infested with crap such as K-Pop and C-Pop.
OMG I think Dang Thai Son's Mazurka Op. 17 #4 is even better than Rafal Blechacz's!!I'm not usually a fan of Dang Thai Son's, but this is an exception.
w t f, this makes me think Chopin actually composed good songs
Ivett didnt advance my heart has been impaled...
Tony Yang was more technically consistent. Ivett's playing is special but I feel like she needs to refine her technique. If she can get her level of virtuosity to the same level as these other bombastic contestants I think she could win because she really has a lot of beautiful things in her playing, more so than most of the other contestants. Same thing with Hansen, he didn't pass because of his lack of virtuosity.
Tony Yike Yang's soul was destroyed by that Juillard teacher. Now, his technique has remained (and possibly improved), but his soul is gone................... WHY CANT JUILLARD BE GOOD AT PIANO? I MEAN, ITS VIOLIN/CELLO SECTION IS SO FREAKIN AWESOME, BUT ITS PIANO IS FUKC!
Stop hating on Juilliard!! Did you get rejected from their pre-college or something??
Kobayashi is beautiful,
but can she beat Qi Kong at the piano
Yes she is.Yes she can.She just did.
Don't quote me though.
oops
