concierto no. 3 - Rachmaninov - Kun Woo-Paik PARTE 1 (1er mov.)

[musicy88]

I think 4 dislikes because when the orchestra plays, the sound quality is just BAD (not the orchestra, but the video sound)

[OrangeSodaKing]

WOW. Incredible. Why 4 dislikes?

I'm going to have to meet this man and ask him which concerto is more difficult: Rach 3 or Busoni (he plays both).

[snaaptaker]

@OrangeSodaKing He would probably tell you that the Busoni is much more difficult.

I've played the Rach3. I don't think I would even attempt the Busoni.

Fortunately for me, I don't much care for it. :-))

[OrangeSodaKing]

@snaaptaker Well, Busoni's is not everyone's cup of tea, that's for sure.

And thanks for your other comments, by the way.

[snaaptaker]

@OrangeSodaKing 1) BTW, I think (not sure) I may have known him at Juilliard, about 50 years ago. If it was him, we were friends, and he was a teenager we called Tony Paik, and he was (IIRC) a student of Mme. Lhevinne.

While I was stationed in Seoul (US Army Band, 1963-64), I attended a concert he played there. I can't remember what he played (can't really recall whether it was a concert or a recital). (cont.)

[snaaptaker]

@OrangeSodaKing 2) I do remember that he was like a rock star there. After he had played, a large mob of girls chased him all around the hall's halls.

Wow!! Funny, that never happened to me. Dunno why. Maybe I shouldda played Korea. :-))

[OrangeSodaKing]

@snaaptaker Sounds like I'm going to go to Korea sometime! But seriously, that's really neat if you did in fact know him. He did study at Juilliard, and was a student of Mme. Lhevinne. He went by Tony back then?

[snaaptaker]

@OrangeSodaKing Well, if he's the same guy I knew back then, everyone called him Tony. I don't know why.

Funny, he didn't look Italian. :-))

[laughhao]

he plays so beautiful and reveals streams of emotion naturally ~ i love it

[dialecticon]

I agree with Dmitriev's opinion. His version of the Rachmaninoff c minor concert has an expansiveness and immediacy of emotion that one asssociates with the finest Russian interpreters, indeed surpasses many. A great artist! Thanks ever so much for posting!

porque carajo ya nadie hace composiciones asi?!!!!!1

[EdiEllerymissing]

@COBHC1995 Para qué? Te invito a intentarlo.

[COBHC1995]

@EdiEllerymissing Simplemente para que buena música como esta pueda seguir sorprendiendoa la gente

[EdiEllerymissing]

@COBHC1995 Y las composiciones que se hacen hoy no son buena música ni sorprenden a la gente? Aun se hacen composiciones así, anacrónicas, ejercicios de estilo, copias baratas, pero ninguna ellas tiene el contenido social, estético, etc, para gozar de relevancia...

[COBHC1995]

@EdiEllerymissing bueno creo no haz entendido lo que quiero decir asi que ya no lo intento explicar mas

[EdiEllerymissing]

@COBHC1995 Eso o tú no has sabido explicarte.

[COBHC1995]

@EdiEllerymissing de hecho

no se como explicarlo

te pido disculpa por eso

bueno me retiro adios

When Paik was invited to St.Petersberg International Festival this year, he played 4 concertos and Paganini Rapsody in just 2 days. The ayudience was facsinated by his perfomances and the conductor Alexander Dmitriev said "His performances were more Russian than any Russian pianists". Paik is one of the jurors for the Tchaikovsky International Competition and art director of Dinar Music Festival of France.

Impresionante pianista. Lastima de director. Gracias por subir el video
