The quality of Yunchan Lim 임윤찬’s performance that always strikes me is how _internal_ it seems to be-it’s like there’s no audience, no concert hall, almost no piano, just the music and his own response to it. It’s almost like he’s in an ecstatic trance. 11:20
Just heard him in Paris at the Philharmonie played the Rach 2, it blew everyone away! ♥
Yunchan was enchanting, no comparisons are needed. It was a glorious performance. No disrespect to the greats but that kid rivals some of them. Your videos are awesome for piano geeks. Thanks!
He was extremely well prepared by his teacher, a really fine pianist, Minsoo Sohn.
Oui mais le professeur ne fait pas tout ! Yunchan joue avec son propre génie !
@@Marie-ChristineCoupillaud I agree, completely. Yunchan is a sensational talent. His new recording of the Chopin etudes is exceptionnel!
I almost forgot to breathe watching this. And you ended this like a k-drama. Can’t wait for the finale!! 😂
Beautiful soul.
YCL is YCL.
He will become a pianist legend in his own universe.
Thanks Ben~🎉❤
You said it before I could comment! An old soul. He is amazing. You listen to these performances and you forget it's a competition- then you see the empty hall. Honestly, he was like the seasoned, star pianist coming out to relieve the crowd in between the competitors. He channels every composer he plays. He makes me excited about the future of classical music.
I can't wait to see how Yunchan's sound changes over the course of life. It was so special because Yunchan was only a teenager when he played these pieces. Imagine what it would be like to hear a seasoned Yunchan,it's a boner
one of the many reasons i appreciate Yunchan and your videos is because I have been introduced to a whole new world of classical music. it was once staid and pleasant but a genre that was better appreciated from afar. now, it is exciting, controversial, and for the first time, digestible. for all the critics out there of YCL, he has the ability to draw people who had no interest in classical music and who now not only appreciate him but all other artists, including possibly your favorite. one of the things that I have learned is that unlike sports, artists do not compete with each other. we, as their listeners, should do the same.
I can't wait for the finale of the series, especially your analysis on Yunchan's playing of one of my all-time favorite Liszt pieces, River Flows in You!
Yunchan is a young genius - I think he isn't a student of his contemporaries but rather a student of the "Golden Age" of piano. Pianists who were born in the 19th century played with this kind of freedom and care for details - it's incredibly rare nowadays. It's almost like he's a long-lost student of Ignaz Friedman.
That’s true. But I think he’s a student of living pianists as well. I think he’s a student of TH-cam! He has talked about it before in interviews - this is a new generation of pianists who have access to the entire recorded legacy, and he’s taking advantage of that more than any other, it seems.
@@benlawdydefinitely true and recently i’ve seen yunchan’s old comments in the youtube videos where i watch old pianists’ recordings. He is literally using the comment section to making time stamps and taking notes on particular part of the piece.
Ben, you are way better than my college professor.
I hope this video will also leave a long way in history. Thank you for letting me know the good influence of music!
Always something to learn in your videos. Love the comparisons because it wasn’t “who played it better” but “how they played it differently.” Thank you!
One of the main benefits of discovering YUNCHAN LIM was that it led me to your wonderful video essays on piano music 😊
I bought a couple of Ivo Pogorelich's CDs 😊😊 as well as Yunchan's
+1
Oh my..Ben thank you so much giving me your insight on Yunchan's play as I am not a pianists nor have the depth to understand what makes Yunchan so special. All I can say is thank you for sharing your knowledge and understanding
Going to see Yunchan play Rach 2 in Baltimore! Could not be more excited!
super jealous. enjoy!!
Me 2 😊🎉🎉
I am too! Best spontaneous decision I ever made. So excited to see him reunite with Marin Alsop. Have a wonderful time.
부러워요 😅
nice!!!!
I know little about this music, but you talk about it in such a way that I can really appreciate what’s happening. Thanks from the blue collar community
Absolutly The Best!! Lovely Young man!❤
Though this may not have been the main focus, I think it stands as a testament to the quality of your essays that I can enjoy them as a beginner without feeling like I need a music theory dictionary on my nightstand.
I absolutely love these essays. Keep up the great work!
I love his Ricordanza! Reminds me of memories as a child for me!
Two more, Harmonies and Snow Whirls. We're waiting Ben, ready to uncover the rest of the beautiful set of the transcendental etudes,
I just heard him perform the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto #2 live 3 days ago. I thought his phrasing and use of rubato was incredible. Everything breathed. I love the analysis that Ben provides and just ordered the Liszt CD!
Your depth of knowledge of all things Yunchan, including all the archival Korean broadcast clips is just amazing!
Tonebase lost a great when they lost you, but for you personally I cant wait to see more content and video essays from you. It'll will do so much good. You're so smart and talented!
Thanks - actually working on a video for the ol’ tonebase piano channel next. Look out for it in the next week or two. Ultimately I needed my own channel to do all the things I want to do; just grateful I got the opportunity to cultivate my little hobby there :)
@@benlawdy wow!!! I’m so glad they’re working with you still! You make that channel, bro. Thanks for all you do.
~a recovering Gould-a-holic
MORE YUNCHAN!!!
Hearing Pogorelich's recording juxtaposed with Kissin and Lim's beautiful tone, Pogorelich's tone really slaps your face like a sledgehammer.
18:51 woooo... I made it! 🤣
Love this content, another masterpiece level that only you can come up with.
BTW, it was so wonderful meeting you at the NYU workshop last Feb! 😆
I must say although you remind me of a goofy but very clever college student,
in person you look like a very fine, scholarly professor. 😆
I enjoyed the workshop.
I tremendously enjoyed the whole NYC trip with meeting you,
then the next day experiencing the Carnegie debut of Yunchan Lim.
Incredible night. Incredible February in NYC.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🐾
Nice to meet you too! And I see you’re going up to bat against some of the naysayers. Thanks for helping make the comment sections fun and interesting
Loved this. Fun and such a great artist.
Yet another peak performance by Yunchan in a great video by you, one more to go!
Love this Ben. Thank you for all the insights.👍
Another terrific video that I will find myself watching several times to pick up all the nuances.
Love these long form essays. I’m also a recovering Gould fan and will listen to the one on Gould again. There’s so much music I haven’t really listened to, including Liszt. I’ll give this young man a listen.
As a South Korean, I have to say this.
Ben, You pronounceYunchan's name perfectly.
11:38 I completely agree with Yunchan’s attacca choice here - not just because of the contrast, but because they’re in relative keys - F minor is the relative minor of A flat major. In other words, the key signature hasn’t changed.
Love your videos
Ben, thank you for this. Another wonderful job. Appreciate the work that went into it. Can’t wait til the finale. (Didn’t know you left Tonebase but thank goodness we can still find you here).
Ben, I love your content! Please keep doing the stuff you do!
I'm a simple guy: I see a Ben video, i click.
amazing timing as i just finished rewatching your others on the transcendentals !
Great video as always ! :)
One of the marvels of Yunchan's performance was that he could switch between all the vastly different moods and embody them so well.
I agree that Pogorelich's Ricordanza is out of this world, no holds barred.
Can't wait for your analysis of the final 2...to me, truly the climax and such a wondrous closure to the entire experience. My favourites among favourites.
the ending caught me off guard 💀
I cant fully understand in english since im korean
but your video is very enjoyable!
thank you
Added Korean captions. I know they’re not great, but hopefully they help.
@@benlawdy thank you!! You are so kind
Dude, I know nothing about piano music or classical music in general. While I like classical music, I can't decipher any of it.
Your storytelling is so compelling.
Nice to hear that. I had “you” in mind when I started making these, because I found myself watching similar kinds of video essays about things I have no expertise or technical knowledge in (science, chess, etc), but found them compelling anyway. I thought people outside the classical music bubble might be similarly drawn in with the right kind of content
@@benlawdy
I know nothing about this classic music stuff. I have a question. Like you said in videos, GOAT comments are a dime a dozen. So, what would you look for in a new performance and say, "Look, hear that. Right there. Go back a few seconds. There it is. Did you hear that? saw Yunchan's performance and is trying to play that part like Yunchan."
@@americanswanthat’s a good question and hard to answer. I don’t think there is (or can be) a general principle that you can follow to know that. You have to keep listening and developing sensitivity to how a pianist balances the independent voices in a harmony or texture, how they carry a phrase (does it soar, or is there frequent rubato), is there clarity and how are they using the pedal - to blend and accentuate or to distort?, what about dynamic contrast, and so on. Yunchan doesn’t yet have one definitive way of playing, I think, because he too is still trying on different hats based on artists he’s listened to.
마지막 편집 너무 좋았습니다😢
윤찬의 땀을 흘리는 모습과 river flows in yoy 조합이 너무 좋습니다
I love this series; keep it up!
so good video ~ .... Yunchan's sound everydays make me cry, and crazy. have a good day guys~
Ouch... this river flows in you after Yunchans Liszt hurts
I couldn’t resist… apologies in advance, I can occasionally be trashy
Omg i loove this video so much i learnt a lot from your video ❤❤ thank you for making helpful video!!!!🎉🎉
I was doubting about practicing today, not any more. Thanks.
Its always great to watch your videos
Okay the last 15 seconds of this video had me laughing out loud like a maniac.
I am really blown away by Yunchan Lim as a performer, though I admit sometimes his interpretations leave me a little cold. It may be sacrilege to say it, but he strikes me very much the way Richter does: His technique is so transcendent, he's able to create such long, perfect lines, that sometimes the performances feel like looking at polished marble. Like the monolith in 2001.
Gracias! ❤❤
Now I am actually waiting for his River Flows in You
The outro was epic.... lol please let it be the most insane piano nerd troll ever!
Your video makes me appreciate yunchan's plays even better and deeper. Thank you.
So gratifying and sensitive.
클래식음악이 재미있어 졌습니다.
이 영상덕분에.
아는 만큼 보이고
아는 만큼 들린다.
임윤찬의 다른 연주도 소개해 주세요.
ok that river flows in you outro was genius
omg that ending got me so hard ahahahaha
也謝謝你傳遞的愛❤️祝您心想事成，未來一切順利
Ben, I love your essay, and will wait the next one. At the same time, I am curious that you are going to make new essay projects about Yunchan’s Chopin Etudes.
You were at the Carnegie Hall for his Chopin Etude performance.
I have a video about the Chopin Etudes planned and part of it will be about Yunchan’s
Abby’s request for river flows in you is the most legendary and hilarious moment of classical music comment
The joke at the end was nice.
I knew it you are into YC’s Recordanza🎉
another great video!! this channel is the one i most look forward to seeing new videos from, by far.
Love your videos ❤
Great work on the essay! Nice pillow btw lol
Fantastic, Ben Laude: informative, insightful, funny - great to watch. I'm so pleased Pogorelich is getting proper analysis, too.
Love the title. So right.
And yes, open relationships, celebrate and relish the diversity on style and approach, with partiality to a few.
Thank you so much!!! love it (before watching full video)
Thank you for good video
Congrats on launching your own YT channel! Your lessons and videos on Tonebase were always my fav (great mix of humor and info...Chopin's Op. 64 #2 comes to mind), so I'm excited to see what you do next. To new horizons!
Excellent vid, your work is great! Would love to see a vid on one of the réminiscences (lucrezia borgia!) or liszt-beethoven arrangements too 😉
감사합니다.
Ah Lisztomania ! It was seeing that film that took me to Liszt. I went home and found the bits of Liszt sheet music I had and that began 45 years with FL
amazing
I love the conceit of quasi-polyamorous love for a variety of performers and their interpretations of select works. In the same way, we (humans) can be as promiscuous as we wish with our adoration of scores of composers; no reason for Beethoven to feel jealous just because I also worship Bach, and vice versa, and then add Brahms, Satie, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Wagner, and hey -- why not? -- Franck and H. I. Biber (no relation to Justin) into this love fest! Anyway, lovely video, as always, and fun fact: I caught many performances of Ivo Pogorelich at Carnegie Hall in the 80s and 90s -- whew! those were some incredible concerts, but boy, did he HATE audience noise (coughing, rustling, etc) almost as much as I do. He once just stopped a movement of a work (I think it was Beethoven) dead in its tracks, slowly turned to the audience, made a few polite gestures with his hand over his mouth, as if to say, Cover your mouths, or maybe just stop coughing. His recording of Bach's English Suites (just two of them, but still) remains one of my all-time favorite recordings of those works, of Bach, and of anything!
Thank you so so so much ♡
Please review Yun-chan's Chopin Etude album. I look forward to Ben's excellent interpretation Please~~~~♡ from south korea
Hey Ben, I was wondering if you are planning to do a video on Ivo Pogorelich in the future! Such a cool pianist with a unique sound.
Yes - eventually will make a video just dedicated to him
❤❤❤❤
Context matters - Jed said that Pogo is only playing 3 selections from the full set? Comparing relative intensity/risk-taking from the 10th of 12 to (presumably) the 3rd of 3 doesn't feel right.
Oh I agree, and I actually mention that context in the previous video in the series. In that sense, Yunchan’s taking a bigger risk. But just taking the 10th Etude on its own terms, I find Pogorelich to take the biggest risks in terms of exploring the emotional/psychological possibilities in the score. (Not that taking risks always = better, but I do think in this case Pogorelich raises the stakes and achieves stunning results).
19:30 that was really funny video editing. 😂
22:23 I don't really have anything against River Flows in You...but nonetheless...this part was really quite disturbing.
Glad to hear you'll make another TH-cam video for ToneBase! You built up an audience there and they sorely miss you. I hope ToneBase makes it worth your while!
I know, I couldn’t help myself… i confess I’m not always the classiest guy. I’m always flirting with vulgarity
@@benlawdyWell, your flirting with vulgarity is one reason why your videos are so enjoyable…haha. Only thing that would make that part better is if you were the real performer of that section of The River Flows in You (unless it really WAS you, of course!).
@@MarcPlaysPiano I should have just done it. I took the Rousseau recording and now I’m sharing revenue with him lol
@@benlawdy Oh man...lol. I thought that would've been short enough for their copyright checks to deem it fair use.
Hope you make it man. Leaving tonebase. Ballsy
❤❤❤❤❤
The Wilde Jagd from the 1990 recital is diabolical!
By who?
@@zelimircabraja7529 Pogorelich...from the recital mentioned in the video.
Evil Pogorelich plays like a demon!
Your t-shirt 🤣🤣
9:09 Many people don't know this pianist, but I'm pretty sure he invented a TANK for World War II!
❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Ben you Pianogore!!!😂
Great video Ben. I have a suggestion. Could you do a series of videos on the playing of Volodos? Most extraordinary pianist today.
Yes he’s on the list!
@@benlawdy great stuff
The two juggernauts are up next
Just commenting so there's more of this
Meanwhile waiting for River flows in you.....LMFAO
Please make a video on the 4th Ballade by Chopin! I saw your tonebase video about it and would love more on it. It's my absolute favourite masterpiece.
Yes please!
