Jeffrey Lee playing Ravel Gaspard de la Nuit: Ondine

[calflyboy]

After this performance, I want to hear SCARBO ! ! ! I am amazed at the quality of your Apassionata, your Scriabin Etude, your Campanella and your Ondine but it seems like it fell apart in the Transcendental Etude No.10 and even more in the Mephisto Waltz. Or did you learn those 2 just for fun?

[leonardsidoarjo]

Gee, I'd like to meet you in person! Do you speak Mandarin?

[slicejl152]

ya i do :) quite slowly though haha

[StephenChin1]

Superlative. Not even Gieseking...!

[caocao8u]

I'm finishing up my second year undergrad at Juilliard

[lkrsrulez08]

fuckin amazing

[gerardbedecarter]

I enjoyed your performance, Jeff. You have an affinity for this music.

[chopinetudeboy]

Amazing! I don't think you missed a note and the phrasing/musicality was great.

[babyeinstein12]

Didn't you win Nationals last year?

[slicejl152]

yes. up in toronto. were you there?

[babyeinstein12]

Hi. Actually no I wasn't; I'm not nearly good enough :p I read the article on you in the CSMTA newsletter. you can see me in there too; I'm in one of the SPA piano finalist photos... haha...

[slicejl152]

oh okay sweet :D

[maddorox]

Wow ... one of teachers students this year got the highest marks for the toronto glenn gould school or something o.o

[guboub]

You know how to make space and breath in your phrasing. It's a rare quality. *Especially* for teens...

[musiKraZ]

one of the most hardest pieces ever.

I'm to perform it next month.

But I can't put it together!

[pianogurly]

i loved your opening :D

[VIOLIN1786]

One of my favorite piano pieces from Ravel. It is about a sad love story between a sea nymph and a sailor.

[owenplayingpiano]

You are so great! Since I saw the first piece of music you played , the high tech and deep emotion you played in your piano performance! I am from Shanghai China. I piano lover and I do love playing all day if time is allowed!

Good luck!

[willhdchen]

What Fantastic Techniques from an adorable young guy are!!!!!!

[dalethomasdewitt]

Climax: No where to go but, the piano has a limit. Very linear but forceful. If only there was no limit to the string length. Damned. Good volume despite the echo clipping, which requires using one's imagination.

[Deskoidenou]

Excellent!!! No time for "Le Gibet" and "Scarbo"?

[skriabin1000]

Jefferey, this is very interesting and beautiful... I wish you good luck...

[trueoho]

Excellent!

[gr8sk8s]

Absolutely incredible. What I find most admirable is your emotional involvement in the piece!

[suremate]

Well played! You have an incredibly big technique. I'm very much impressed by your command of the instrument.

Although musically, your performance lacks subtlety imo. Do you play Scarbo?

[slicejl152]

nope no scarbo yet. that will surely consume much of my time some day

[pianogirl714]

yeah i was asking how old u were.

[pianogirl714]

absolutely gorgeous! we've all had memory slips in performances, it's no big deal. out of all the interpretations i've heard, this is probably the most flowing and expressive. and whoever called it a drama overload obviously doesn't fully appreciate how beautiful this piece is. anyone know how old he is?

[slicejl152]

are you asking how old the guy who said it was drama overload is? i dont know :( but if you are asking how old i was at the time of the recital i was 17.

[lepaintre123]

eselente unterpretation  gaspar de la nui

[tompilk]

fabulous... the ending could be a little quieter...

[sangchaud]

why dont you record it again when you're more confident with it? theres really promising stuff in there

[lepaintre123]

extraordinaire trai joli

bravo 10000 fois

[walter1958]

2 loud!When Ravel write's ppp he means ppp.Nice performance tough..congratulations

[wkzh]

hey he switches the parts of the two hands!! cool...

but he moves too much... drama-overload.

quite okay what... just a few mistakes...

i don't think the last few pages were that bad. just some little glitch in the finger work.
