Cliburn Concerts presents Joyce Yang

[tsnagle]

We got to hear Ms Yang on Sanibel Island last night - also playing a Schumann -- she's quite remarkable. Audience absolutely loved her performance.

[johnnyjackpot]

Splendid!

[rusalkadniprova]

Simply brilliant; total and utter genius.

[llee2000]

She's hot.

[aperez91aperez91]

I've actually heard her play before at the Los Angeles Philharmonic. It was really nice!

[MarilynFM]

Absolutely beautiful!!!

[normthedoorman]

I must disagree politely with her decision to hold off slightly on the louder 8th notes in the 2nd movement. They should be almost an interruption and by doing what she does takes away from the overall effect of the interruption. just my opinion. Great playing in general though.

I saw Joyce Yang yesterday. She was so amazing. I love her sound so much. I hope to be like her.

[xyo1120x]

She is great, I especially like her facial expression. But I think Tsujii is undeniably even better.

[slambennett]

I normally love Joyce Yang but I wonder if she was having an off day on this or didn't practice enough as this is pretty technically messy and I think some of the musical decisions were unusual for her.

[vv268]

Joyce is great!!! She is a very good performer.

[shamgod411]

I saw her tonight at the Granda with the Estonia Philharmonic. She blew the place up. Electrifying.

[kangik01]

haha she is my dad's cousin's daughter!!

[aznliquid]

@kangik01 I think that would make her your cousin

[Verityseo]

she is a fine, well-trained pianist i have nothing against her playing but i'm sure there were other outstanding musician swith more original musicality that speaks in a very personable way for the prize she won-- reminder of what competition is about as her prestigious teacher mrs. Kaplinsky once said, "it takes a various elements" in my words: To Win the Competition, and certainly on a big part, politics included.

[asongnadance]

@Verityseo

Yes, like you I am very jealous about her winning.

[ugolinoandhissons]

she sounds like a good student at best, nothing artistic or interesting, i haven't heard anything else from her, but this is quite medicore...

finalmente qualche commento positivo (e giusto)!

su youtube leggo quasi solo critiche negative

[beethovenof08]

Joyce is the best!!! She is a great pianist and interprets the music so well and so easily! She is also a very nice person, humble and considerate! I had a master class with her and she showed me things/gave me ideas I never thought of in my music! I hope more of her videos are posted soon, I love her performances! 0:)

[polkadotpiano]

Is there a recording of her performance of prokofiev 2?? I am dying to know!

[cdpiano27]

Great!!! Very well played, and also give credit to Veda Kaplinsky, who is a great teacher as well!! She inspires even young students to play very well and learn very quickly. I have been very impressed with Helen Huang, Conrad Tao, and Gabriela Martinez. By the way, Gabriela Martinez and I were in the same studio in Miami back in 1991-1993. And at that time, we competed against each other in the state competitions in Florida! Listen to both Yang and Martinez's Prokofiev Second Concerto!!!

[ondinegb]

Apart from some seemingly false notes, I have to say that she realy played wonderfully. I'm a little disappointed by Sa Chen's performance. Her play was far too straightforward for my taste. Here Joyce played in a much more lyrical way. Lyricism is, I think what interpretation of romantic music is all about. And she did a wonderful job here by delivering such a lovely rendition of Schumann's Carnaval.

[shadowboxer524]

She came to my university last year and gave an incredible performance! I loved watching her. She's extremely nice and insanely talented! Go Joyce!

[stoutfellow]

Wow. A super performance of a piece that, perhaps more than many, requires an accomplished rendering to be musically pleasing. I would've loved to have heard Chopin make his brief appearance at the Carnaval. Apparently time would not allow it.

[koc2002]

The BEST!!!

[rachmaninif]

one of the best openings ever!

[josurim]

Reminiscent of Cecile Licad at that age.

[vocalpianist]

I love the opening to this piece :)

[4444matthew4444]

actually to correct myself she was 19 or so in the competition and now two years later she must be 21 or so. so yea

[4444matthew4444]

i believe she is like 19 here...!!!!!!!!

[sagalat]

Excellent!  Brava!
