@@tonytony8747 of course! No doubt about that, I was totally blown away by his performance in round 1 of the competition and I knew he would be the winner!
He did a lot of work in the last two years. His technique in 2021 is other-worldly. All his attention when performing now goes into interpretation which is much bolder and more polished. I've never heard a more captivating pianist. He almost got a standing ovation *before* his final performance at Chopin. Barring total failure in the final, he won the competition by the end of stage 3.
Totally. Listened again to those performances. I've been playing for almost all of my 68 years on the planet: never heard Chopin played at this "level," for want of a better word. I'm one of those listeners who marvels at the technical mastery of pianists like M.A.H. (another Canadian) and Argerich, and the early Pogorelich, and Richter, etc., but Lui takes it to another level, AND with art. You are absolutely right, btw; as good as these performances are (at the Tchaikovsky competition) he takes it to a completely different level at the Chopin competition. Obviously did some very effective practising in the interim.
I cannot thank modern technology too much for allowing me to hear and see performances of these classical compositions. Not only this, but hear many and become familiar with so many interpretations of the same music, to then be captivated by the extraordinary interpretation of the Waldstein Sonata recorded here. Having discovered Bruce Liu, I don't feel I have missed much not being able to watch the performances of Hoffman, LIszt and other greats of the past. I doubt that such experiences would be superior to watching Bruce Liu play today.
J'ai tout de suite été épaté par ce pianiste que je n'avais jamais entendu ! Quelle merveille de délicatesse dans son toucher, il maîtrise à la perfection toutes les nuances des plus douces aux plus fortes, quel beau son ! Pas d'exagération comme Langlang, une grande sensibilité, adorable pianiste.
Bruce Liu absolutely brilliant.. Very good...Technically well controled with clear finger work..sound projection very well planned... His Chopin even more brilliant with very full rich sound projection...Mi Salute !
This kid is extroardinary. The Liszt was a little fast for my taste but his dynamics are exceptional in every way. He gets how to make music breathe. I can't wait to hear him in ten years because his playing is mature already. He's a new favorite now. Wow!
Mí sincero agradecimiento a todos los jóvenes que hoy dan un sitial de honor a la Música clásica, al canto esmerado y perfecto. Son únicos y la belleza perdura en el mundo... Son ejemplos de esfuerzo y disciplina que realza su don natural. Nos alejan de la mediocridad y el ruido mecánico.y vacío. Mil veces gracias!❤️
In 2019 Tchaikovsky competition and 2021 Chopin competition, I hear vast improvements in his performance. What a incredible talent he has!!! Looking forward to his future careers, sharing beautiful imaginative music he's creating!! God bless! 💙🙏
He is an amazing talent. Such a variety of sounds, tones, attack, and even decay. It sounds as if his fingers directly play the strings. Even more so two years later at the Chopin competition.
he didn´t advance, because jury menbers noticed in the 1st round, that he would be dangeraous for their students. This competition always has been a very slippery pavement!
Listening, again, to his Chopin (recordings from the competition), which led me to THIS page. Can he play Bach (which is so far from Chopin as to constitute a different art form)? The Book 1 C Sharp Minor Fugue is one of the most difficult of the 48 from a conceptual point of view. Well.... on first listen .... this interpretation is first rate. Ditto for the Beethoven. His technique is unsurpassed (my view), which obviously helps. If the recent Chopin competition is any guide, he's pretty much vaulted to the very pinnacle of "classical piano playing." Leap-frogged to the front ranks of the best pianists in this century. I guess time will tell. Need to hear him in more rep.
I didn’t hear his performance in Tchaikovsky ´s competition , it is nice to hear his great versatility, able to give new colors to Bach and playing Beethoven as he plays a match with the composer, for Liszt same opinion, a little bit too fast but his potential is so high and i listened him in Ravel stunning🌈🎶🎵💯
As he has noted himself, he has no need for further competitions. I believe he plans to focus on performing and recording. He signed a contract with Deutsche Grammophon on World Piano Day 2022.
Es absolutamente emocionante escuchar las interpretaciones de tan excelente pianista. Reconozco que en mí caso, se ha tornado un momento esperado e imprescindible. Es una ventana de luz y sonido que me sorprende... aunque lo escuche una y otra vez. GRACIAS Mr Bruce Liu! Desde 🇦🇷
I’m going to see Bruce at Carnegie Hall next year and am so thrilled. All of us, including you younger audience, go and see every classical pianist you can. They are all important.
Today is 17h May 2023, so in 2 days’ time 19/5/23, will be his Carnegie debut! I envy those of you who have tickets to watch him live! Hopefully TH-cam will somehow broadcast his life performance!!
Ebi is a Japanese pianist who is an associate of Gadjiev. She met him around 1999 and did a project with him. She should have recused herself for bias.
All of the scores Ebi gave to Bruce were dropped. All of them! They drop the lowest and highest scores in each round. Ebi was about 4 points off the rest of the 17 judges in every round. All of the judges were esteemed, accomplished concert pianists…
There could be also political reason: his teacher, Dang Thai Son, during his studies @ the Moscow conservatory, won Chopin competition in 1980, and immediately left for Canada.
If you compare the 1st place winner to Bruce and Gadjiev, you’ll see the jurors clearly overlooked the 2 most talented pianists. I wonder if the 2 geniuses are friends?

@@LC-ig2jm I didn’t talk for Chopin though. I dont know what makes people think that winning Chopin competition automatically makes your previous recordings and competitions superior, there is a thing called progress. He obviously has developed incredibly since Rubinstein and Tchaikovsky and he is much more confident in his program in Chopin, does not change the fact that there were better pianists in Rubinstein and Tchaikovsky, it is not the jury’s fault

I agree with you! I think his sound and style is too light which might not be Russian enough. Also I feel his program was not technically hard enough compare to other competitors.

He has :)

Bruce conquered the Chopin Competition and now he's coming for Tchaikovsky!
Imagine not realizing this is from 2019! Lol
I doubt that ~ why would one chance ruining one's reputation.
He's playing Tchaikovsky concerto 2 on March 10 in London.
The reviews for the Tchaikovsky Concerto is in. And Bruce was magnificent!
As he has noted himself, he has no need for further competitions.
I believe he plans to focus on performing and recording.

*Now I see - Gadjiev was admitted to the second round.
Because he is not Russian?
If you compare the 1st place winner to Bruce and Gadjiev, you’ll see the jurors clearly overlooked the 2 most talented pianists.
I wonder if the 2 geniuses are friends?
At the Rubinstein, he was recognized for sure, obviously Rubinstein had a much more accurate project of his talent and potentials ...
May be they have seen too many Russian pianists with flighty fingers but not much depth or not showing all his musical depth
😭👏👏👏👏👏
Why didn’t he win???
