Dzięki Kate Liu i temu koncertowi mój mąż pokochał Chopina. Czekalam na to dlugo, ale było warto. Dzis.mój mąż jest w ciężkim stanie, ale oczami prosi o płytę z tym koncertem. Dostal ja na 70 - e urodziny od ukochanej wnuczki Karoliny.
Who’s here after the chopin competition finals? By default I compare everyone playing this year to Kate and this is still one of the best performances of this concerto i’ve seen 😍
I agree
I do agree and often return to her interpretation.
best concerto ever, so personal...only one made me cry
I'm a big fan of Kate and I always come back to her Scherzo, Ballade and this Concerto too! But I really have to give credit to Bruce for nailing the concerto. His playing at the Rondo section is just so clean and crisp. Kudos to him!
I like Kyohei Sorita’s more but this is still right up there
can i say i really love the moment when the conductor hugged her and said bravo? that is soooo sweet
I keep coming back to this recording. There is so much concentration and effortless grace in Liu's playing. It is a shame how the recording industry has neglected her talent since her 3rd prize win in 2015: There isn't a single album by her (except for her competition performances from Warsaw, certainly not the best conditions to record anything), and relatively few concerts to be found online. Here is a truly wonderful young pianist the world should hear much more from.
FlaneurSolitaire: So glad to have someone else besides myself bring up this topic. I just can’t understand how the major record labels can continue to ignore a talent like this.
I’ve been listening to her TH-cam performances for close to six years now, and I believe, more than ever, that she is a unique artist, and that it is a crime not to document such artistry with the highest quality recordings and videos.
DG or Sony: Add Kate Liu to your roster. Take a chance and record a Chopin CD. Her fans around the world will thank you.
Her recital on TH-cam this year is amazing. She should be one of the top out there,
She is coming to the twin cities in Feb 2022. I just purchase the ticket to see her!
@@lienlee7654: She needs to make a stopover in the San Franciso Bay Area and play another recital here!
I just found the program for her concert in Minneapolis, and now I’m really jealous. She’s playing Beethoven Op. 111 (which is new, at least there’s no TH-cam video yet), plus Chopin G Minor Ballade & G Major Nocturne, and the 3rd Brahms Sonata.
Wow! What a program. 🙋🏻♀️🎹
I've probably listened to this performance nearly a hundred times. I was just a passive listener of classical music until I found this. Something about it is just magical
Outstanding performance. Unfair 3rd place. Whenever I listen to this concert again by any other pianist, I cannot help to take Kate's interpretation as a reference. And I just perceive diminishment
Akiko Ebi and Martha Argerich were jujors during this competition. These are the villains, they gave Kate very low marks from the very beginning. It is thanks to these people that she did not win the first place, although as we saw during the entire competition, she deserved the victory.
I know no one wants to hear about mistakes, but there were simply too many in her performance to win, regardless of whether you like her interpretation or not. It’s part of the competition.

もう５年以上経ったのか、、、素晴らしかった。この数年あまり目立った活動を見かけないが、元気だろうか。またいつか日本に来てほしい。(前回のブルースリウといい、私の好みの演奏の方はお名前が似ているなあ。笑)
Kate Liu is the one current pianist who knows how to play (relatively) slowly and sparsely and conveys more musically and emotionally.
Bruce was fantastic this year. however, it added context to Kate Liu's performance. In my opinion, this is the best performance of the E minor Concerto that I have ever heard. Great orchestra. Chopin wrote this concert to be played by a woman for a man.
I'm in tears by her interpretation.... What shame she didn't win.... In my opinion still the best concerto performance in 2015
Still No.1 for me even if I have listened to the final 2021.
This is so amazing she really knows natually how to make the rythm really excting and gives this peice right tention. It is the best performance of this masterpiece ever and ever will be.
Definitly she was my winner of this competition!
42:33
Her big smile at the end is so precious :D
Because she knew she nailed it.
still, Here I am. It's been over 6 years but still so magically it works, It never gets bored. I'm still so obsessed with this and KATE LIU. actually after watching competition of 2021, once again, I am sure this is the best performance ever!
When the audience starts applauding you before the piece has even finished, you know beyond a doubt you've captured their hearts. So it was that beautiful and charming Kate Liu gave a stirring if not quite technically pristine performance of the Chopin 1st, but good enough to place her 3rd in the winner's circle of the 2015 Chopin Competition. In fact, Kate is the first American to win a prize here since Garrick Ohlsson snagged 1st in 1970. That is quite an accomplishment. Part of Kate's powers lie in her ability to not get ruffled when a gaff hits. I've seen many a pianist better than Kate buckle and just crumble under the pressure of making a single mistake in competition. Kate has the ability to keep her composure and forge ahead and that's what kept her technical and musical prowess working to see her through the extreme pressure to a triumphant end. For that, as well as a beautiful performance, we have to lay bouquets at her feet. Note that even Maestro Kaspszyk was totally taken with her, as evidenced by his emotional embrace at the end of the concerto. I fear for Kate. She is an extremely gifted pianist who is now thrust into the pressure-pot-cooker world of professional piano concertizing. Her good looks and talent assure she will be picked up by a major concert management agency. Is she ready for such pressure? No less than Van Cliburn cracked under it after less than two decades of non-stop concertizing. Most prize winners have two option: immediately embark on a grueling concert schedule...the "strike-while-the-iron-is-hot" approach, or to quietly resume studies, give occasional concerts and gradually fade from the public's memory. The latter is a common occurrence; take all the prize winners of the last 50 years and notice that only a handful have survived. The public is very fickle and it takes an artist of the caliber of a Lang Lang or Evgeny Kissin to keep them interested in coming to see you. Kate has a huge decision in front of her. I hope she makes the right one.
+J Joe Townley Dear J Joe Townley, (Kate's) music has nothing to do with nationality (since nationality is a form of violence!) Besides, Kate Liu was born in Singapore, her physical appearance is Asian. Kate's playing music is divine as you say above!
+Anna Mayer Thank you for the interesting background on Kate. As you say she is indeed divine. She must be a naturalized US citizen since she is entered as from the USA. I would be very interested in knowing if she intends to embark on concertizing or if she plans to continue with her studies and pursue a PhD in music. Do you happen to know?
+J Joe Townley Une belle analyse ...
lepaintre123 Merci, lepaintre. Actually, the more I listen to Kate's interpretation all the more I am absolutely taken with her and her lyrical interpretation. She has a lovely touch, and at 21 has done something almost unthinkable: win 3rd prize at the second most prestigious competition in the world at such a tender young age. Astonishing!
+J Joe Townley Absolutely agree 100%. btw watch her interview video, she clearly has an American accent. I enjoyed her performances which remind me so much of Rubenstein's Chopin. Her ability to play phrases and keep them alive and organic, simple and even all at once is what really does it for me.
She's as beautiful as her playing!
She is playing it like Emil Gillels ! Truly amazing fingers dancing on the keyboard. I liked the part at the end where the conductor gave her a hug.
Kate Liu delivers every note so clearly, precisely and emotionally. She presents Chopin’s works perfect 👍 👍
This girl plays with soul. She's wonderful!
Yes I quite agree :D

This Concert was my favorite during adolescence. At 86 years old now, I still love it with all my heart. For this reason, I turn to the magnificent performance of Kate Liu again and again.
Try Yundi Li’s performance in 2000! I like it better.

I do too,keep coming back over and over again,to this exceptional artist and the piece of art,my favourite piano concerto🎹🎼🎵🎶❤️
心洗われるような澄みきったピアノの音 オーケストラとの自然な融合
何度観ても言葉で言い表わせない、せつない感情が湧いてきます。
I Love Your piano, waiting for you, Kate !! from Japan🎼
Kate gra Chopina tak , jak wyobrażam sobie , że powinien być grany ... emocjonalnie , pięknym , delikatnym dźwiękiem i z duchowością bardzo mi bliską ... dlatego pokochałem Kate Liu .
I never have been a great fan of Chopin, but after this performance by the charming Kate, I changed my mind!! Her piano delicate and so sweet, and looking at her fingers moving on the ivory is something exceptional. Everything looks so easy so natural!! What a talent.
To była moja najulubieńsza pianistka tamtego konkursu
리치하고 아름다운 톤, 시적인 연주. 엄밀성은 좀 덜할지라도 연주자의 순수하고 낭만적인 내면이 그대로 드러나서 마음을 울림..
중압감이 큰 콩쿨에서 저 정도로 순간을 살 듯이 온전히 누릴 수 있다는 게 놀라움. 아마 현장에서 더 감동적으로 들린 연주였을 듯
Świetne wykonanie.

This is one of my favorite piano concertos. Kate Liu’s rendition is powerful and at the same time lyrical and moving. I only found out about her recently. Her career as a concert pianist didn’t seem to have taken off after this piano competition. What a shame for such a talented musician.
Wikipedia: Kate Liu (born May 23, 1994 in Singapore) is a Singaporean American classical pianist. On October 20, 2015 she won the third prize (bronze medal), the audience favorite award, and the Polish Radio Award for the best performance of a mazurka in the 17th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, Poland.
I'm a Chopin fan. I can't have enough of Chopin... Since I listened to Kate Liu's interpretation, I cannot listen to any other pianist in that concerto. Despite the very few mistakes and imperfections, it is PERFECT! This is a miracle she performed and a huge shame that she didn't win the first prize.
Not gonna call it a shame she didn't win, because Cho's performance was worthy of the winner's circle. But I gotta say that Kate Liu's performance is my personal favorite because it's just pure passion and emotion! I love this performance and it is my favorite... her passion reminds me of Cliburn's early recording of this piece which I must have listened to a hundred times.
Cho's performance got a score of 9 from 14/17 juries so I would not say that it's a shame, but I love what Kate puts in the music through her fingers for sure. I feel I can imagine Chopin's emotions via Kate's performance better in my opinion
This is by far the best piano performance for this Chopin Concerto. I have listened to 12 other ones and none is as addictive as this performance. I have listened like 100 times no and it is still fresh and so soothing to the soul!
She is the pianist who resonated most with the public and she also received the most perfect scores from the judges but her average was lower so third place. But I still think she was the break out star from that competition.
She made me love Chopin
Hello can you sub to me!
Just saw her perform this past Sunday in Miami...she left me speechless...what superb and talented artist. She has become my favorite interpreter of Chopin compositions.
I wish I could attend one of her recitals... She is a miracle pianist, there is no one like her...
My favourite interpretation. I do not know why it moves me so much, especially there are so many other talented musicians - but Kate brings eveything I love about classic music.
You notice how the audience started clapping well before the final note from the orchestra? Apparently everyone in the building was moved also! That didn't happen for the other finalists!
First time here, and wow. Kate has something other pianist lack. Thank you for letting us experience such a beauty and depth of this piece Kate ❤️
Hands down, the melody during 39:44 was phrased the best in the whole competition
우리가 심사위원도 아닌데 어떻게 판단함? 판단기준도 잘모를뿐더러 들을귀도 없다는게 맞는말일듯. 하지만 kate liu는 상당한 실력가에 귀가 자연스럽게 쏠리게 하는 재능이 있는건 확실한듯..
Kate’s performance is mesmerizing🙏
If she participated 2021 competition, I'm sure that she would in the 1st place
She should be the first prize

She had the audience breaking into rapturous applause even before the piece ended! Seeing the smiles of approbation on members of the orchestra, concertmaster & conductor warmed my heart! Kate, we music-loving folks here in Malaysia would love to hear you play, so make a date with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra at the Dewan Fil once the pandemic is over!
Fellow Malaysian here! Can't wait to see MPO live again and hopefully Kate some day in the future!
Another more Malaysian superfan here! I almost got to see her in Indanapolis, but she pulled out (I think due to injury). Really hoping to see her live sometime! Her Schumann is incredible th-cam.com/video/64C4nL2VNKA/w-d-xo.html

still waiting till this day for her to grace her presence in Malaysia... if not Singapore (her hometown) 🥲
I've heard tens of different renditions of this piece through out the years. This one isn't the fastest. It isn't the most perfect. It isn't the most technically virtuosic.
But it is the one I always come back to.
Something about Kate touches in a way that very few other pianists ever have before.
There's a deep, unique kind of emotion being felt here, both by Kate and by us.
Thank you, Kate.
You hit the point, this is the moment when you can relax, because someone there is more delicate and subtle than you. The only thing left is to enjoy it and experience the music that is inseparably connected with the musician.
!!!
Yes, you are right. There is something about her that I can´t explain. Listening to her playing always makes me feel peaceful.
just say she’s good don’t have to drag her skill and technique through the mud like that
With a deep respect to all from that contest, this performance is certainly an outstanding one. For me personally this one was a 1st prize performance among concertos 🌸
0:42 - I. Allegro maestoso
5:01 - Entrance

Piękne wykonanie Kate. Dla nas byłaś najlepsza (Beautiful performance by Kate. You were the best for us) - polska publiczność (Polish audience).
Kate Liu is absolute best at playing chopin. This performance can not be surpassed.
I came to Chopin competition videos because I started with watching Seong-Jin, but Kate's performance is amazing. She has so much control over the piano and her tone is absolutely intoxicating!!! Oh my
Haha same!
조성진 듣다가 왔습니다..조성진도 너무나 섬세하고 아름답지만 리우는 리우대로 자기 감정을 충분히 담아네네요..영감 충만한 연주..아름답게 듣고 갑니다. 젊고 훌륭한 연주자들이 많아 들을때 마다 감사하네요^^
5:40-5:44 wow I've never heard anyone play the end of that phrase like that.. that was incredible
This is exactly the thing I've noticed at the very beginning. This ending of the phrase makes it even more nostalgic. Other pianists didn't have a break here, making it all but unique. But Liu made it so nostalgic.
This young woman has that necessary combination of technique, expressiveness, clarity, grace, gentlemess and control that makes a great pianist. Her interpretation is excellent. As usual, there are those who think that playing loud, pounding the keys is artistry. There are those who think that playing faster is better. Perhaps catching the subway after the concert is most important to them. Kate is already a great pianist and will continue to grow as one in every way. I enjoyed her playing very much.
Chociaż minęło juz 6 lat ciągle pamietam Kate Liu i jej niezwykle wykonanie koncertu finałowego. Brawo! Moim zdaniem to ona była najlepsza.
I completely agree, the Korean pianist sounded like robot compared go her. No mistakes, they are still grading musicians as if they are kindergarten, what a disgrace.
@@tia904 Exactly. A robot.
@Ti A you think something flawless means a robot? how one-dimensional you are 😂
your disrespecting other pianists never makes Kate look better. you have to know that.
she is great just the way she is. if anything your rudeness is disgracing that.
I've listened to this over and over. She moves me like no other can, playing the same piece. She adds another dimension that others fail to do. Just my humble opinion.
Za takie wykonanie Chopin będzie Cię kochał na wieczność! Jesteś bezkonkurencyjna!!!

A friend of mine said, among the recordings of Chopin’s E minor concerto Krystian Zimerman’s one is an „etalon”. I’ve listened to it: it’s really very good! His orchestra is the best I’ve ever heard in this piece (Zimerman was the dirigent too), much better than the Chopin competition’s orchestra. The piano part is very developed, imaginative, original, really „Polish”. It was an experience.
In the case of a well-known, often played piece, the biggest problem is: what can you say new, different from the former performances? All the participants of the Chopin competition wanted to show: they can give some original, some never-heard solutions. These ideas came from their own, sometimes are good, interesting, convincing ones. They play their own Chopin. Zimerman’s interpretation is also from his own, really special, extraordinary.
In case of Kate Liu, I feel she doesn’t want to do something new or „original”. She never puts something into the work. She doesn’t play from her own. But she takes her own FROM the work, her solutions are the composer’s solutions. I could tell the difference like this: Zimerman plays good, Kate Liu plays true.
Others are uniform in their endeavouring to be different.
Kate IS different in her being one of a kind.
She was interviewed in Warsaw after the competition: how to describe her participation at Chopin competition in three words? She said: - Experience. Moment. Passion.
I think this is what you can feel from her playing.
Kate is a true musician.
This video is the absolute proof that most dislikes on Chopin Competition performances are directed towards the judges’ decisions and not the contestants’ playing…
Born to play Chopin, I'm with the Polish viewers in my amazement that she didn't win first prize but the important thing is that she shared this music with us.
Yes she is amazing!!!
I believe the reason that she din win was becos of wrong note....As far as i rmb watch Seong Jin Cho's playing there is no wrong note or mayb quite little....even though is not that obvious by Kate played quite an amount of wrong note.....
PS: I din listen to the whole concerto.....only judging by listening to vivace bcos that the movement that im interested on xD
She came close, but Charles-Richard Hamelin and Seong-Jin Cho played damn near flawlessly, and they played as beautifully. If you want the definitive version, check Krystian Zimerman's recordings of the two concertos. I don't always like his interpretations on other Chopin, although his technique is unbelievable, but his concertos were a step above any other versions I've heard (including Rubinstein's).
BTW, I was at university with one of Kate's teachers Alan Chow. He was, and probably still is, a wonderful pianist.
pianist is not a robot
I enjoy this recording of Chopin's E minor probably more than anyone else's that I've heard....and I've been listening to this piece for almost 40 years, but I can understand why they gave the 1st prize to SJ Cho. His technical proficiency was obvious and the chances of him becoming a famous soloist is higher. With that said, Ms. Liu's performance reminds me of the way the late Van Cliburn poured his soul into every piece he played. This recording makes me emotional every time I hear it.
18:50 the next couple minutes just does something to me, no matter how many times I listen to this. Its like beyond this world
Yes❤
Już się nie mogę doczekać...kolejnego KONKURSU😁👍🌹

The standing ovation towards the end is testament to her excellent performance.
Kate made the superbe interpretation and performance! Thank you for her deep touching playing.
演奏もちろん、容姿、表情すべてに美が溢れてます。2楽章では決して過剰に酔うことなく、一つひとつの音を紡いでいることがより感動を高めていると感じます。
３楽章では多少ミスもありますが、音色の美しさが十分にカバーしてます。

She teaches us that its not about techniques. Its about the emotions and the soul. Beautiful work of art.
How beautifully expressedvJune Man
Actually, her technique is so advanced and well developed that we can't perceive. And because of that, she can focus on the musical expression of the emotions

I always think that the beginning of the concerto makes me feel tacky, but her performance is the only thing that makes me want to listen to it and feel touched.
I always come back to this young lady's Chopin pieces. She must have a very beautiful soul to produce such a sincere interpretation. It really comes from the heart. :)
I could swear Kate is looking up at someone above her...brilliant emotion.
Looking at the pollish conductor, one can clearly catch how much her performance was CHOPIN. It was beautiful with such subtle inspirational touch. It was genuinly soul touching.
아름답다. 가끔씩 들으러 와요.
There was such a deep mutual understanding and respect between the pianist, conductor and the orchestra here. It would be an absolute dream to see Kate performing together with maestro Jacek Kaspszyk again!

Piękne, dla mnie: "the winner is..Kate Liu!" Minęło od tego czasu ponad 5 lat, ale wciąż pamiętam. Nie jestem znawcą muzyki, ale wg mnie ona ma to COŚ!
Chopin probably is pleased to listen to his piece performed by this subtle pianist
he probably is
I love the way she slightly delays the notes between 5:42 and 5:45, making it sound much more romantic and heartbroken...
She's has one of the best technique in the competition
She's like an angel of Chopin
she would be a winner if she had attended competition 2021
Extraordinary performance!!!

Kate. your music is so pure and white. It brings tears. 😭😭. thank you for sharing your most beautiful playing. i'm really glad God sends you to this world.
honor i wielki szacunek dla Pana Jacka Kasprzyka i dla światowej klasy Orkiestry
She's the only one who made me feel emotional in this competition. And I think it means she knows the essence of music. We listen to music not to think but to feel and to be emotional. Though some pianists can play without mistakes , show so many tones or great technic.. if there re no emotional touches,it is nothing.she really got something. I don't know what it is and it's really hard to explain cause it's invisible..but definitely she has the natural sense that only genius can have. When she plays,she's always there,poke my heart!this is my favorite concerto. very successful playing in history. look at the conductor,he's about to dance...so high with pure joy that music can give.anf I felt the same.
i samary music touches you how you want to be touched. humans are emotional and seek emotional triggers
Such a pure, clear tone and beautiful emotional phrasing. This is what piano playing is about
00:43 First Movement Allegro Maestoso
23:19 Second Movement Romance. Larghetto
33:07 Third Movement Rondo. Vivace
I think all the smiles of approval the veteran conductor gave her during the performance, and the hug afterwards tell the story. She definitely brought something special to this piece. This is my first time hearing her play, after listening to her official interview for this competition. I'll be watching for her in the future. :)
I don't know the technicality of music, but judging by my heart feelings and by reaction of the audience this girl should have been the winner of this competition.
