Tchaikovsky-The Nutcracker Suite for piano solo

[farout808]

So pro! :DD

[Thepeckinator]

I would love to be that piano stool

[icequeenhallibel]

le da un toque diferente.... me agrada....... es tan suave, ligero... no estoy tan seguro en cuanto a la perfección de su técnica... soy mala para evaluar eso, pero la sensación que me deja es un tchaikovsky, fresco, sin ansiedad... con cierta timidez, pero sin esa pesadumbre.... que caracterizo su personalidad, es como si le hubieran quitado esa opresión del alma que caracteriza hasta sus piezas mas alegres.... me causa curiosidad saber como esa pianista en especifico tocaría la patética....

[FaradiClum]

Хотя исполнение по своему виртуозное - без сомнения.

[FaradiClum]

Слишком отрывистое, акцентированное исполнение. Нет едва уловимой плавности перехода, сливания аккордов в единый поток, подобный журчанию ручья - в этом Чайковский. В этом русская классика.

[paosanv22]

smplemente precioso

[FillionDollarSmile]

I have been PLaying Piano for exactly... 4 Days... LOL... Still cant play like her :@

[notnate2426]

Amazing

[205carlangas]

she's awesome. I hope one day i can play like her

[whitecocoa08]

wow



[johnmonman]

that run between 1:30 to 1:37 was so beautiful!

[karliinncho]

creo que es lo mas hermoso que he oido en mi vida.

[WoWFallina]

Wow... that has to be the BEST piano version I've ever heard. Beautiful!! Listen/watch to the very end.  Totally worth it.

[205carlangas]

it's so beautiful

[GisellaHart]

i want this arrangement!

[thesolanita2]

wow. such an inspiration

[Xxmark628xX]

I don't really think it looks stupid I think it is really interesting that it is a subconscience reaction rather than a strategy for improving playing quality. Also any words that seem randomly placed can be blamed on this phone that seems to think "do not" should be switched to doing and "been" to "ben". Lol but this was an amazing piece that was played and it is one of my favorites well done, a definate thumbs up!

[Sportscanuk]

Unbelievable. Simply beautiful!



[peaceluvpuppies234]

This is so impressive and amazing. i only wish i was this advanced!

[CoolRuaridh]

What's this called?

[SpinninTom]

@CoolRuaridh the nutcracker suite, i believe

[Angie1234567100]

LOL.. she's almost phantastic...

[NightMaeLife]

Im playing this is my holiday recital but u sound WAY better:D good jobbbb!!

[unnessasarylongname]

shes asian XD

[fcjcheah]

Absolutely IMPRESSIVE!! WOW!!

[Xxmark628xX]

I doing play piano but I have ben playing keyboard for a few years and I have noticed very seasoned and great PIANO players seem to rock back and forth while playing any particular reason why?

[kokkinoskoufitsa3]

@Xxmark628xX yes man. They feel what they play...

[ikkurr]

@Xxmark628xX it's like listening to or playing rock music.. makes you a headbanger.

[RueppellsFox]

@Xxmark628xX As a piano player - I can tell you that, when playing expressive songs, rocking is almost subconscious, it's more there because it's in the music (although I will admit, if I find myself rocking when playing, I stop because I think myself to be stupid). Well it helps when trying to reach the keys that are out of reach for people with shorter arms.

[BlackHayateTheThird]

@Xxmark628xX it's cuz playing piano - or any musical instrument- is a very physical thing. i dont kno the whole science of it, but rocking is a natural thing and really does help the musician to not only 'feel' the music, but to apply the proper pressure into the keys from the shoulders/ arms

[radoslavmladenov]

Wow, what a great change of dynamics at 13:40!!!

[newsweekrocks]

i just started taking piano lessons today! first time, and it was AWESOME! i hope i can play like this soon (well, in a few years at least!) so excited! :D

[kokkinoskoufitsa3]

@newsweekrocks yeah in 5-10 years of hard and constant training...maybe....

[mynameisnobodyz]

absolutely beautiful thankyou

[diamela1289]

[Kelsey7717]

SHE'S NOT EVEN LOOKING AT THE KEYS HALF THE TIME. so good

[NickyBasrikatte]

She's done the job of an entire orchestra ... well played. A favourite of mine.

[rblcoles]

That camera is idle throughout, right?

00:28

Huh. Creepy.

[ilovejesust1t2m3b4]

@gnihciew the body movement is what makes it sound good :D

[gnihciew]

Brilliant performance, BUT.....to much body movement.... unnecessary....

[DerekBondo]

@gnihciew Um, who gives a shit?

[DaiDaaisuki]

yeah i can play that..after practicing for 50+ years...wow she's amazing :D

[TorDaiShan]

[QuicK2800]

[nabim]

[evadzed]

VERY BEAUTIFUL! MY FAVORITE PIECE BY MY FAVORITE COMPOSER. I COULD LISTEN TO YOU ALL DAY AND INTO THE NIGHT...... VERY WELL DONE!!

[Gexer90]

the quickest hands of the West

[iglov5]

I would never be able to play that song without a music book. However you can remember to play this off by heart is really amazing.

[doodoobirdie]

@iglov5 practicing everyday for many hours makes the brain and fingers used to the piece and the brain will adapt to the notes and keys.

[dalesyang]

excellent technique

[bewitchedfanatic]

I really love how this sounds, hope somebody I'll be able to play like that -.-

[poosie123]

[henicedamenice]

[lembke1981]

Russian lost their culture after the revolution. Now we not only doChaykovskogo Rakhmaninov, to Michael Jackson far (((((

[DerCerberus]

[lembke1981]

[emaclynch]

Pletnev was arrested as a pedophile.......how nice.

[hannahc925]

[thomandy]

This one guy found it, and uploaded it to, and its ready for download in two different files! :) I just checked them, and from what I can tell Its the same score!

[emaclynch]

[thomandy]

@Piyanistcan5 I found them, search google on the same title as this video, and youll get the full score in 2downloads! :) I have learned the march, hard as ..... So I wount be playing it up to speed for quite some time! :)

[Piyanistcan5]

@thomandy Thanks!

[Oscarenedg]

Tchaikovsky is great.

This is a magnificent interpretation, I just had

listened to the interpretation of Yuri Rozum but this

is also very good.

The last piece "Pas de deus" is my favorite,

that feeling! It is difficult because my still

I her I cannot.

[89blueflower]

i love the way she plays

[broadwaygirl3]

Extraordinary!

[Thefirstmeridian]

This is the best Nutcracker video I have seen. All the music is played at the right speed, and no one else seems to get it fast enough.

[mech112200]

thats funny how how i learned about tchaikovsky around that month in music class

[nfsmwrox]

is it just me or is she sitting really far from the piano? her arms are almost fully extended.

[Piyanistcan5]

I love her look at 00:25 =)

[wing19831228]

finally,I know why I don't like her performance...

because her koreian style....those peoples who support her...

look like they are koreians.....

I prefer the Japanese-pianists more than her...hahahhahahaha

[Timerooy]

@wing19831228 what makes you group her style into Korean style? Why don't you try listening to the music before looking at who is playing? That shall cure your racist view.

[wing19831228]

@Timerooy

of course not,the sound is the koreian style...

can't be the legend sound...skill is good(serious)..

but still the same mistakes like other koreians...really don't know why all the koreian pianists so wooden!!!!

[lyriesch]

@wing19831228

Listen with you ears.

[wing19831228]

@Timerooy :I have listen my asian's pianists....but the korean's style is very very very boring...

M.Plenev already said don't like it....kid....you still young....

[cartergirl3of3]

where is all the "whooo-ing" and "aahhhhh-ing"???? that's all she get's?? a mediocre little applause?? lame

[dennasaurr]

@cartergirl3of3 ya unfortunately justin bieber gets more applause than this :c

[cartergirl3of3]

@dennasaurr this is whats it's coming to. *sigh* damn shame.

[joelexyeung]

I like her performance very much, Hope that it comes with HD version

[BBMSergey]

I bet she is good in Starcraft

[stigsy]

I wish I was that good :-(

[MaAyAnS12]

just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

she is so talent!!

and it must be so hard to play a quarter hour without any serious break...

[jnorman737]

Absolutely brilliant, what a superb performance by a very talented lady.

[sancho316]

wow amazing job

[mattleemattlee123]

Ummm, T.P., that "cround" are people who know the etiquette of how to behave at a classical recital. You don't clap along, you don't shout "wooo hooo", you don't applaude at every quiet spot...you LISTEN.

You're screen name says it all. Moron.

[ttoiletpaper]

wow that cround are made of mutes apparently...

[stevey226]

@ttoiletpaper At most piano recitals there isn't an applause between pieces and in this case it's one piece with different sections split up with a short pause between each so there's not really a need for an applause. Same with piano concertos and such, between each movement. When I first started listening to classical I didn't know either =P You just sort of pick up on it as you go on. Hope I cleared anything up =]

[ttoiletpaper]

even that camera's like HOLY SHITT! lol

[coccobello40]

non è una persona normale........... mostruoso!!!

[Shinju14]

What's the very first song called?

[SWATalpha007]

@Shinju14 The Nutcracker March

[levinisgod]

What is the name of the song/section that begins at 5:04? And, to avoid sounding ignorant in the future, I am assuming that the "suite" is broken into said "sections". What are the sections called? Thanks.

This video isn't some crap from Tosh.0. Who clicks "dislike"?

[KyougetsuYoru]

she is wonderfull

[oxfords1]

Brilliant!!

[Miss3Poons8]

Elle est vraiment trop forte <3

[roxyroxy2008]

You're wonderful! love you:-*

[geezonthekeys]

wow she's good, makes the blood rush to my 'head'

[apestate]

2.6, 2.7%... that's not a bad value for numbers of dumb.

[superada2005]

0_0 i guess i play t wrong

[leptismagna10]

bravo! excellent!

[Wootitsflora]

omg, she makes it look so easy..

[geezonthekeys]

Tchaikovsky was such tormented individual. he lived in a time when liking the cock was a big no no and never came to terms with his sexuality. He even married to try and convince himself that the punnani was better, but she turned out to be horrible.

[bereddia]

Amazing! Well done. How many hours did you spend on this?

[vemitz]

82 people are dumb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rayford21]

Thank you very much Mee-Hyn Ahn. It was a priviledge to hear your performance.

[CanadianBacon2311]

Best female pianist EVER

[foodbot909]

How can you dislike this?

[AcrMasterx]

completely and underly amazing, I wish I could play that well

[moneyman318]

this is dope!

[DragonDiamondMoon]

where is the overture?

[janeaustenfan99]

How she has the ability to imitate an entire orchestra with just two hands so flawlessly.. I don't think I will ever quite comprehend. I'm in awe.

[esplex008]

@janeaustenfan99 This is simply..... Amazing. I totally agree with you.

[Iraelite]

I've played piano since I was 8 ---- I think I will quit now ---- WOW!

[geezonthekeys]

I bet she shags like a minx

[eliasneto18]

asian people can do everything.

[Cancrizans]

@eliasneto18 probably because they value wisdom over materialism.

[eliasneto18]

@Cancrizans of course!! i wish to play like her one day.

[BCE42906]

impressive...all from memory...no music in front of her

[XDXDXDXDXDXDXD]

how she has the stamina to play the entire thing, I will probably never understand

[mistressbumblebee]

I love Tchaikovsky <3

[Chikamis]

owo iper cool

x3 hermoso =D cute cute ;333

[Geography2488]

Come see my version, played by ear. I based it on this one (although not as good).

Merry Chistmas!

[vanillapudding73]

Freaking amazing. Wowwwww.

[modelmaker56]

Incredible...She and the piano are one...One forgets there are no other instruments playing...think I'll prefer it to the full orchestra version..It's so pure and overwhelmingly representative of the full ballet scene..Just close your eyes and dream..

[Elitios]

It is very nice. Clean and bright. Still I wish she would take her time more so I could savor each note. After all there is no rush, and no metronome beeping in the background.

[SoBeThatWay]

@Elitios the songs are origianally fast

[simonlapa]

so little applause.. If i was one of them i would stand for a whole day

[raw1694]

I don't see how anyone could not like this..... Awesome!

[mrbikejoy]

Mee-Hyun and the piano were made for each other. Just great playing, real great!

[thoughtsthroughsound]

THe pianist is very very good, but I'm not entirely happy with the arrangement, although I'm sure it's very difficult. But once again, the pianist is fantastic and made it sound the best it can

[socraticus]

I think the pianist did a very fine job. She definitely has a fitting technique for this beautiful arrangement. I wish there would have been more dynamic variation and a bit more creativity with the rubato. I believe Tchaikovsky on the piano not only makes for these allowances, but in a spiritual way even demands them. This would have made this rendition even more awesome and powerful. Once again, job well done. Good pianist.

[Candlegary]

What's the camera for? It appears to follow her at some points.

[jazztrmpter]

@Candlegary It's used so they can get shots of her hands as she's playing.

[geezonthekeys]

@Candlegary

call me old fashioned, but I'd say it was probably there to film her you numpty.

[Candlegary]

@geezonthekeys Well I got that of course; I was just wondering as to why it was doing so, and from such a position - but @jazztrmpter answered that (thank you).
