Happy birthday Kate!!. may 23 (2024).
We love you so much !!!.
we will want Kate to play a lot of Chopin music from now on.
I'm looking forward to it .
ロマンチックでいて説得力がすごい。大好きなピアニスト！日本から応援してます！
2015 Jury Member Garrick Ohlsson said about her:
"Kate Liu (US), 3rd prize, gave the most beautiful playing of the whole three weeks in the B minor Sonata. She also won the prize for best Mazurkas and, no apologies, I would have given her the prize for best Sonata too." absolutely gold performance.
2th Prize ex-equo officially... the first divinely...
Hamelin did way better.
Sadly, unless a contestant is utterly useless, the kind of verdicts given these contestants reflect more of what the jury "want or expect" them to be or to do during the entire competition, which begs the question under what or which canon are the contestants supposed to be judged on? Is it on the basis of their being "general listening public friendly" or is it on their originality of approach, superfluous technic, or uncanny/uncommon musicality? I always have my reservations when it comes to these competitions because of the premise alone that the judges themselves do not necessarily have any preeminence over each and every individual they behold because each one possesses an individuality that no one has a right to control or influence.
I saw Garrick Ohlsson play the B Minor Sonata in person. incredible. I thought about it for days

Garrick Ohlssohn got it right! 😎🎹
ケイトの演奏って、長い曲でもずっと聴いていられるんだよなぁ、、、、静かに美しく、打鍵は力強く、説得するように弾いてくれるというか、、、

III (Largo) 12:20
IV (Finale. Presto non tanto) 22:38

@@nat91307 maybe it was a typo
What I love with this girl : she is not trying the usual "Do you hear me ? " but she is listening to her own music , and often quite falling in some milliseconds of pure ectasy .....
그녀의 모든 연주에서 피아니시시모로 이어지는 부분에서 기존과 다른 완벽한 자신의 세계를 보여준다.. 대가의 경지라고 생각한다.작은 숨소리도 용납할수없고 오직 작은 음하나만 들어갈수있는 진공의 공간만을 그녀의 손이 허락하고 그 음들이 빠져나와 우리의 영혼과 함께 하는것같다...
공감합니다..여자이고말랐는데 그 손의 파워가..ㄷㄷ
I keep coming back to this performance as the new standard for this sonata. This is EXACTLY how I would want to play it.
Have you listened to Pogorelich's performance? You might like that one too if you enjoyed this one. /watch?v=h9mgxKKfCJw
I think what is most striking here is how easy she makes it look. Rarely will you find a pianist performing a work such as this that looks so seemingly at ease and in control - while still bringing out all of the energy needed. There is virtually no tension apparent that one can see - from any part of her body during the performance. For this, it is extraorinarily rare for a pianist. Michelangeli tried to not show any tension visually by freezing his head (the rest of his body showed little tension). But Liu here seems to just be enjoying and incredibly relaxed - yet performing at a terrific level in the most important performance of her life. Incredible.
+classicalalways That's because her heart is in it. And still masterful.
Please bear with me, dear Pauline Tang,
...but I will build upon your comment to show that Miss Liu is SO much more than "masterful", or a human with "her heart in it."
Decades ago, when I was about the age that Miss Liu appears in this recital, a group of us, composed of three or four young men would meet at the homes of two older, more experienced pianists (the only two friends any of us had that owned good Steinway Grands!).
Over another decade of years, all I seemed to ever hear about Chopin was the Sonata, as being a competition for my "warhorse", the Fantasia in f minor.
When time dissolved our group, still more decades of years passed me without my noticing this Sonata.
As Kate Liu played it, just now, all the praise to the Sonata I ever heard, has been fulfilled. And, everybody was right.
Watching her hands, it seemed impossible that such small amount of motion and flexion of fingers could produce such magic. Then I earnestly surveyed this girl. And, suddenly the hair at the back of my neck prickled up, and then I didn't see Kate, I saw something blazing gold; and if ever I had beheld spirit possession, or genius so great as to represent to me the explaination of my cold shivers .... there it was!
A Bronze medal, or any thing less than a large, precious diamond, would be a insulting offering! And my impression of the contests, and the Political judging of said contests, has reduced the whole affair, except Artist Kate Liu, considerably in my estimation!
I know of no method to tell the artist about this spiritual, or "psychic" ttransference of information, but I wish I did!
K. McIntire-Tregoning, concert composer.
classicalalways I love her lyrical playing, but in terms of technique, she was slipping quite a lot towards the end, and wasn't fully in control.
@@ganjamozart1435 other than a few wrong notes i thought the coda for the 4th movement was great
Kate plays like an angel. Her playing touches my soul and heart. Beautiful performance!
Amazing, I bursted into tears when watching this.
I’m firmly convinced she IS an angel
Way to go Kate!!!! I will rooting for you to make the final concerto round....your playing has been phenomenal!!!!!!!
There's nothing contrived or forced in her playing. She doesn't force the emotion. She rides the emotion and the music carries it out.
as good as Ashkenazy
I've heard her live... One of a very few things that can be moving to me.
can be said of almost everyone
whatever
@@alexgu177 Maybe everyone can say it but not everyone can do it that easy. Remember words and actions are different.
Hey judges, after 7 years of listening, she's the winner.
I thought it was Seong Jin Cho
I truly loved Charles-Richard Hamelin, her, Cho and Shishkin equally
And ritcher
I honestly think that Kate and Chopin, the combination, is a gift from God.
When other pianists play Chopin, you hear “music”.
When Kate plays Chopin, you know is nobody else. The delicacy is hidden. The sadness always dominates.
I don’t know about Chopin’s life. Does he had a very bad romance, or just a lousy one.
For 70 yrs I’d promise myself I would never cry, until these two....
I imagine, Kate started discovering Chopin in 2010.
the third movement she played is the only version that makes me cry... she is one of a kind!
That finale was mesmerizing. 26:30 onward is nothing short of perfection. Look at that crowd. Everyone is in awe :) That's what music should be like.

Favorite interpretation of this sonata. She has such an intense gravity that I can't do anything else while she plays. Enchanting. ✨
yes i agree. My favourite interpretation even though it has some mistakes but she play so wonderfully in comparison to everyone else
@@pianoten clearly you haven't heard Daniil's.... better than this one in my opinion!
When you have mastered your technical skill, then you are free to phrase anything she likes.
This is Kate, she can play anything at ease, then her expansion spans is set.
No struggling or bog down by difficulty passages, your expression can go free. Kate has master it all, what a wonderful gift. I am the most envious.
i do not know why she did not win the competition
@@jamesqiu7860 seong jin cho was too excelent
26:00 onward is just absolutely to die for. So unbelievably incredible.... I can't even describe it.
Kate Liu is one of the best interpreters of Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin I've known in my eight decades of life
Wow writting chopin like that makes you look extra smart
Her playing of the Largo is nothing less than breathtaking. As if she had years of maturity behind her translation and technique. Absolutely incredible performance of this complex sonata. Bravo!
I think it's everyone's fantasy to be able to play the 4th movement like that. This is perhaps the best sonara ever written.
It's up there for sure. This Chopin for me, and the Liszt in B minor, Scriabin No 5, and a few of Beethoven's greats: Wildstein, Appassionata, and Hammerklavier
yes im learning the fourth movement right now and in taking a lot of inspiration from her interpretation
@@nat91307 good luck mate, i heard this is like chopin's second most difficult piano solo piece lol
@@8beef4u you have great tastes!
The most perfect Chopin’s 3rd sonata I’ve ever heard. It’s like in a dream while I’m listening. The 3rd movement is espesially good among the momvements.
Try Cyprien Katsaris
Daniil trifonov
Seriously one of the best performances of the 3rd Sonata. Bravo!
No Jeff L.... No " one of the best" but "THE BEST....." Insuperata ed insuperabile...
Reposting because these were buried in the comments for some reason:
1. Allegro maestoso) 0:00
2. Scherzo, Molto vivace 9:40
3. Largo 12:20
4. Finale, Presto non tanto 22:38
her finale tops everyone else's. that 26:09 moment is just.. i thought the sky was black for a second.
I can't help but be deeply moved by such an interpretation, chopin lives in this. You may have not won 1st prize but you have my heart as a musician and Chopin aficionado.
The prize means nothing in the face of such artistry. Liu will prevail.
Why do I have a feeling you wouldn't be saying the same thing if there was a male playing.
That is exactly what I mean. I agreed.
She is essentially a poet, her lyrical playing is spellbinding. I'm sure she could make a great recording of the Nocturnes.
이곡을 라이브로 이당시들은 사람들이나 심사위원들은 얼마나 행복한 경험이었을지 유튜브로나 시간이 지나도 명연주를 들을수 있어서 만족합니다~~
Kate you deserved to win the competition but you have at least won our hearts. Congratulations on earning 3rd place - you undoubtedly have a strong career ahead of you.
+EpigeneticAlteration Should be FIRST...sorry, I love her.
Her sonata is cold af. I can't feel it. She deserves top 5 in terms of technique. But overall she should not be in the finals.
uuuuubetcha So who do you think should be gold, silver and bronze?
+Vette gaddia Gold is hamelin. Silver is seong. Bronze is yike.
+uuuuubetcha Well we are all entitled to our opinions. Mine is that I like Kate Liu's playing of the sonata very much. Her bronze medal win was well deserved and maybe she deserved better than that.
Total mastery of this complex sonata, Kate Liu plays better than some famous pianists in this Chopin sonata. She is our new Chopin specialist of the 21st century.
Music breathes under her hands. Divine.
Phenomenal artist!!! Thank you Kate!
Kate, I really like this powerful and sensitive rendition of the Chopin Sonata in B minor. Congratulations on receiving the Bronze Medal. Judging by your playing you have a great career. A wonderful personality and people skills will also be an asset to you.
정말 강한 감동을 주는 소중한 피아니스트죠..
I can't stop to listening to her. She is amazing.
Incredible performance of this sonata. The playing is magnificent and so is the tone of the piano.
I love the way she approaches the Largo, in a cellular scale, every chord is measured and warm. Love it
She really listens to herself-amazingly mature playing for a pianist so young. There is no uncertain degree of thoughtfulness, as though she is telling us, "this is how I think music ought to be made." Very reminiscent of Uchida. I'd love to listen to Liu play Bach.
Andrew Lee: You can hear her perform Bach’s P&F in C# Major from the Well-Tempered, Bk 1. She played it in 2013 at the 1st round of the Queen Elisabeth Competition. It’s here on TH-cam: just search ‘Kate Liu Bach’ and it should come up.
She’s a great Bach player. I hope she’ll perform more of his music. 😎🎹
She didn't win the competition but she surely won our hearts!! Kate you are fantastic!!
+J Gamez yes
Oh, Kate, you are really a genius! I can't hear you without tears!
'Listening to the B minor Sonata loads right now: A work beyond the beyond! I try different artists but keep returning to this performance. Thanks Kate Liu. And You Tube! You've improved my life.
Kate is absolutely GOATED
Kate is the person whom my life cannot lack in .
Cho had the most solid technique in this competition.. i am happy Cho won the first prize.
Cho's performance is very masculine, pure and clean. It really strives toward the level of perfection.
However personally I do find Kate Liu's performance very charming, pretty and feminine.
You want to listen to her more and more. It's very dreamy and sweet and lyrical.
It simply touches one's heart.
This is my favorite of all her performances.. it goes so well with her style.
My all time interpretation! It touched my heart - can't stop crying during some places
She's amazing!!
Goosebumps. Her playing is something special. Everytime I hear any simple melody sections, its pure as white, like an innocence and dream of a little girl and its marvelous. Brings me to tears. Last mvt gave me the chills. Love how she really planned out the piece with very contrasting ending.
3rd movement................. very very very beautiful. .............
O! Chyba nie słyszałeś czwartej!
Breathtaking performance! Especially the 4th movement, such confidence and strength. How did Chopin even come up with music like this?
MAGNIFICENT! Beautiful, insightful, thrilling, deeply introspective, filled with exquisitely refined detail all brought forth with brilliant, flawless technique. No one in his right mind could ask for more. Rivals -- and may even exceed -- most of the best on record.
26:05 this moment of the sonata has to be the most emotional culimination among all of Chopin's pieces and every time I hear it it gives me this original emotion that I never feel exept for this particular moment
@@raphaelcoelho4366 yes, I do. Music is subjective
@@raphaelcoelho4366 what is considered a "most emotional moment" is also subjective, and honestly who cares about what Chopin experts think, "truthful" does not equate "emotional" in any way
to say this sonata is only a "demonstration of power" is not only insulting to Chopin but music in general, music no matter, whether it is intended to trigger emotions, triggers emotions in people, every music triggers some kind of emotional response from people
Pierdolicie Hipolicie
yes, the changing dynamics, the build-up, the slightly delayed and emphasized motif just gets me every single time
I thank God for Ms Kate Liu's return to health and good form and for her decision to continue giving concerts.

Best rendition of this piece I've heard. Masterful!
Beautiful, impressive, passionate and moving. I loved it.
強すぎず、弱すぎず、速すぎず、遅すぎず限りなく真円に近いバランスの素晴らしい演奏。この大会の時はヤマハも凄く評価されたんですよね。
Wow... This playing is very impressive! Especially, I really love the fourth movement she is playing!
Outstanding! What a formidable power of the human spirit. A performance for posterity.
Kate was a Muse of the competition.
The largo is magnificent, a reference recording.
4악장이 진짜 웬만한 남자 피아니스트들보다 폭발적이다..... 어느 젊은 피아니스트가 자신의 폴로네즈를 연주할때 보였던 정력에, 쇼팽이 경의와 부러움을 표했다는 일화가 있는데, Kate Liu의 연주에도 똑같이 해줄 것 같다.
조성진의 쇼팽 소나타 3번 들어보기 강추 합니다
@@andrewsoh1488 소나타3번은 케이트가 더 잘친거같음
You have touched my soul, such beauty ❤
Kate kocham cię za to co dla mnie robisz swoją muzyką.
Bravo! Kate Liu, another century, another continent, another pianoforte, yet Kate Liu moves me. Thanks Kate.
Can’t hold my tears from 15:28 . So beautiful beyond description.
I was scrolling down the comment section to find if somebody had the same reaction. I went back to see this video after several months and suddenly had tears falling down my face from that 15th minute. It is like touching the stars, like reaching divinity for a moment. Blissfully amazing!
난 조성진팬이라서 쇼팽콩쿨보고 여기까지오게됐는데 ㅋㅋㅋ 솔직히 같은나라 사람이아닌데도 케이트 연주듣고 뭔가모를감동에 ㅜㅜ 감정선이 아주 풍부하고 아주 리릭하네요 이게 감수성의차이인거같아요 조성진은 남자의감수성 케이트는 섬세한여자의 감수성 누가더낫다 우위를 가리자는게아니라 주관적인 느낌은 조성진은 굉장히 테크니칼 하면서 냉정하지만 악보에 충실한 완벽한연주로 쇼팽이 아니게느껴질수없는 연주를하고 케이트는 뭔가 인간적인 연주, 인간의 고독 슬픔 좌절 갈등 외로움들이 더 피부로와닿게느껴진달까
여기서 많은분들도 케이트의 이런감정선을 칭찬하시던데 다들 느끼는건 비슷한가봅니다 또 이것이 여자가가지는 더 섬세하고 여린감수성이기도한거같네요
분석이 ㅎㄷㄷ하시네요
That's why we call her Kate the Great!
I fall in love with the ending. She played with sooooo much emotion and I was so touched with it ! Bravo Kate !
Kate is so much better than other competitors. There is lots of emotion, drama, passion, delicacy and feelings in the way she performs. Kate will win the frist prize, I think. Any other result would be a huge dissapointent. I love music of Chopin. But, she can make love Chopin,s music even more! Unbeliavable Kate!!!!! Wow!!!!
+Mwk I'd be happy if she wins.... But I suspect Aimi Kobayashi might take the first prize, while Kate and Eric would tie at second....
Sun Thathong I think Kate is a lot better then Aimi. For me she is unbeatable!!!
+Sun Thathong (Sunny) You forgot about Cho. He has a lot of Concerto experience. You must hear him play the Tchaikovsky 1st concerto in the Rubinstein competition where he should have won.
+Mwk My only criticism of this is her pauses are soooo long. I hope she does not do this in the Concerto. She should win a medal, but if the jurors don't like the pauses in the Concerto. there are other geniuses who is right there.
+Images Oubliées , "There is life after (Yuja) Wang" LMAO
Happy Birthday Kate !!! may 23 (2023) .
We love you so much.
We will want Kate to play a lot of Chopin music from now on.
This is the best performance of the Chopin Sonata No.3 you'll find online! Kate Liu played this with great courage and heart. Bravo!
I think no one tops William Kappel. That's just my opinion. I've never heard anyone play the way he did in his recordings.
to me, never tops maria jao pires . listen to maria's interpretation and judge then
They someway all deserve to win. We are many that have now noticed Kates playing and in a few weeks she has turned into one of my favourite pianists. There are no others i would rather listen to. I would say i actually prefer listening to her - you:) She always show the melody(s) with a beautyfull tone a perfect voicing, technical strong enough to do it excatly as she want. Phrasing nuanced and deep felt. Wow
+connie rahim Yes, and that is exactly as great playing should be. The complete absence of self-consciousness and total immersion in the music, itself, is the mark of a truly great artist.

I bought her double CD and put it on my phone. It includes the sonata. Her playing is so sensitive. My favourite pianist
Wonderful, very Polish! Go on Ms Kate Liu. You will win!
No!!! Adam
you are wrong.
강형숙 It depends.
Third time listen back to bsck. That addictive!
First 3 times I only listened. Then I watched. Ms.Liu fascinates like an Art Deco goddess tickling the ivories!
She has a very special sound and a very interesting take in this Chopin work!
The greatest performance of one of the greatest Romantic Sonatas. I have listened to dozens and dozens of pianists play this in full (back when I was obsessed with this Sonata), and still after a year, this performance is unbeatable. Kate Liu brings out its full potential, with the 1st movement (my favorite) with her great attention to detail, the deep transcendental Largo, and the passionate finale. Certainly one of my favorite pianists. I hope she returns soon.
Commento che condivido pienamente....oggi non ascolto nessuno suonare la 3 se non Lei, diletta Kate, anima serena in grado di farci vivere l'essenza dell'Autore .
Grazie Maestra Kate!

@18107863 -- You can substitute technical perfection for the emotional and intellectual richness of Kate's playing. Kate is the true start of this competition. Her interpretation of Sonata No 3 is epochal. we are lucky to know her incredible talent.
Dear Kate: you had give the most sweet kiss for Chopin!! Keeping to do so ?! Life is different with your beautiful music!
Simply amazing how much emotion can be poured into such an already beautiful piece and manifested with such salience in the resulting sounds. Absolutely beautiful! And this type of maturity being displayed in someone so young is all the more impressive. You along with Seong Jin Choi have won over the hearts of so many people, including mine. Thanks for enriching the already stacked lexicon of beautiful performances of Chopin.
such a perfect rendition; deliberate, dramatic, yet so natural. iwe love you Kate!!
This is AMAZING!!! BRAWO KATE !!! :)
Since first hearing the fourth movement of this piece in the 1950's, played by the great Fou Ts'ong, I have rarely heard anyone play it to that standard. Kate Liu has excelled.
Moi aussi c’est Fou Ts’ong qui m’a donné le baptême de cette sonate. Je ne l’ai jamais oublié.
Kate, we love you.
Amazing performance with a powerful, It 's slender body and arms and fingers.
I was deeply impressed. I was immersive in this performance.
She should have won the Sonata Award with this performance hands down
I respect your opinion but Hamelin deserved it. I am also aware that one of the judges said he would personally give Liu the sonata prize.
@@lczq6737 I respect your opinion too. Hamelin did play superbly!
@@thetrianglewaffle I believe the finale might be a possible factor. I think Hamelin played faster than most pianists (not saying speed is best) but it's very hard to do that seeing how other pianists struggle with that movement. Also he played with minimal mistakes, and it's hard to describe, but sometimes I feel that when pianists play that movement, sometimes it feels rather.... As though they really adhere to the timing I'd say? Hamelin played it really smoothly. I'm not sure how to describe it. And the coda was fantastic, especially the end where he spammed the "B" (to my personal liking) haha. Of course the sonata as a whole factors. Kate played with as much musicality as well, despite certain wrong notes (I'd agree that they factor in a competition). Though she does have the ability to transcend that.
From 15:32, it's pure magic. it's so lyrical and pretty.
Amazing those 40 people who dislike this performance.
And only 575 of 117000+ care to click their approval. Well, I wonder, and with awe realise that so few people understand and appreciate the great art of the future La Regina Assoluta of Piano Music Playing, Prinncess Kate Liu.........
My favorite video on TH-cam.
I still disagree with judges on this competition. Kate Liu is the one who should have been rewarded gold medal in 17th international Frédéric chopin competition. Her sonata in B minor was more than perfect. That was heaven. I don't understand why she didn't get sonata prize as well 😭
But professionals judged them, so that was right. I believe so.
But my first is Kate Liu forever.
I completely agree. I also think her performance of the fourth Ballade alone was enough to separate her from the rest of the pack. Unfortunate the judges seem to care more about a few minor technical mistakes than musicality. Though Cho's performance of Etude Op 10 No 1 is probably the best I've ever heard. They did say it was an extremely close battle for gold. Had this been 2010 or 2005 Kate might have very well won.
@@8beef4u 2005 was Rafal Blechacz's time, and I think the results from then make it rather clear how outstanding of an artist he was compared to his competitors. While this merely is hypothetical at best given that we don't know what would have happened given that they competed together, I'd think that Kate's technical errors already would have left her behind Rafal in terms of points, but not to mention his performances were enough to get him the special awards in all of the categories compared to Kate who maybe could compete with him when it came to the Mazurkas or Sonatas.
I am no professional musician, so perhaps I am undeserving to judge. I also do not mean to downplay the other great musicians who have competed in their respective competitions but it seems to me unlikely that Kate, if she performed in the 2005 competition just like she did in this 2015 competition, would win 1st prize over Rafal. I am not trying to say one is strictly better than the other. However, given their performances in their respective years of competing in the Chopin Competition (which is the only thing we can base any comparison on), I think that while Kate's musicality and sensibility demonstrate both her unique character as an artist alongside an understanding of Chopin, Rafal's lack of technical flaws in addition to his own musical ingenuity and connection to Chopin (which is a testament to his musicality and sensibility as well) would put him over the edge from Kate. Had she no technical errors, perhaps she could have triumphed over him.
That said, both Rafal and Kate are outstanding musicians of this generation in their own right. This also holds true for anyone who has qualified for the main competition whose careers we can all only hope will blossom and enrich not only our generation but future generations of classical music which is a genre that is practically off the grid at the moment within mainstream music.
The Largo is beautiful but most play it as bit of a rest before the Presto. Liu turns it into a masterwork on its own.
Wonderfully played music....and what beautiful hands !!!
Ms. Liu is just a transcendent interpreter of Chopin.
Best 4th movement ever
If she hasn’t engaged a top flight agent already she shouldn’t hesitate. Classical music is very competitive. She is extraordinary and deserves all future success.
Kate Czarodziejka.. jedno z najlepszych wykonań tej sonaty... GREAT
Best Sonata opus 58 ever heard!
Wspaniałe i ponadczasowe. Ta muzyka będzie zachwycać wiecznie.

그러면서도 프레이즈의
섬세함이 콩쿨 참가자붕 누구보다도 가장 강조된 연주를 보였다.
아주좋은 연주!
훌륭합니다~!
