Wow, I was not sure what to expect from this, but it was absolutely incredible. The most surprising thing to me is how expressive this is. Rachel plays this more expressively than some adults do! The melody was always very clear to me, also.
HOW IS HER RIGHT HAND EVEN LARGE ENOUGH TO REACH THE D#??? Seriously, though, this is phenomenal. Professional concert pianists admit to having difficulty playing this piece . . .
@Borcsiii She was born in 1998. Just had her piano recital in National Performance Hall, Taipei, Taiwan in May 2011; she will have her piano recital in Carnegie Hall, NY in Dec 2011:) Very talented!
How wonderfull, i hear also this same piece at your recently play at your first recital in Taipei. I wis that I was there but is not possible. When do you make your first CD? Don wait too long
I am no longer surprised to see young people playing instruments so well. It's quite common in the classical world. What does surprise me is when a child plays with the love and emotion of an adult. That's amazing. Good job!

Not bad for your age..
But when I watched your videos, most of them you are striking on the keys only, with some dynamics and producing individual notes. You need to link the note together. I wonder if your piano teacher has told you this. If you manage you increase the speed a little more, you ll reach another level. You need to build a better relationship between each of your fingers~ Hope I can see better performance of you in the future.
Can't believe your impression. Her performances are generally top rate, and very often become addictive for many of her followers because of her unusual musical quality.
bloody hell...I have been playing piano on and off since i was kid, nothing my skills can compare with this, Congratulations, Big Thumbs up for you Rachel, you should be very proud with your achievement..
It always amazes me when I hear extremely young people play some of the most difficult music. I think this is extremely well played, much better than a version I once heard in a concert (and that was played by a 'professional'.
Rachel this is very good for a first attempt, taking into consideration your age. Like the Chopin Ballade in G minor, this too can become phenomenal, once you put it away and tak it up again.
Keep up the wonderful repertoire building , it is going to pay off greatly in terms of security, when you become full-fledged concert artist.
Liszt would be both proud and pleased, not to mention in awe, himself, to hear this piece played with so clearly and lucidness, not to metnion up to tempo. Bravissimo, Rachel.
My music lecturer told me that this piece is often regarded as one of the most difficult piano pieces ever. He also said that he was the play it, he would need to go to the gym to work out for like 3 months to get his muscles ready to tackle this piece. That's how hard it is, even for a Dr. in music.
Dear Rachel, what an amazing performance! It sounded like the sweetest little bells. You make it look so easy! I love your smile at the end and your beautiful dress as well. I could listen to your playing forever! I wish you all the best and I hope that you keep on posting new videos!
Wow. Way to go girl. I can't even start playing this piece. I loved your face when finishing the music :). Congrats. I am really enjoying the concert, now I go for your Chopin etude.
BRAVISSIMA!!!
