Ivo Pogorelich competed in the Chopin international competition. He didn't make it to the 2nd or 3rd round (i forget) and Martha Argerich, who was one of the judge panel said, "he's a genius" walked out in disbelief. Same thing should've happened for Mei Ting Sun.

wowowow

[davidhertzberg]

This performance is stellar and deserves only superlatives, although I am not sure how I feel about some of the rubato as the piece closes. I came of age when Pollini released his recording of the Etudes on DG in the early 1970s and for many years those renditions were for me the gold standard. That is not fair of course; the purpose of performance is to bring something new to the warhorse we know and love.

My hat is off to this young genius, who will only get better with age and wisdom.

[Fischettiful]

O.o so sweet and smooth, I'm simply amazed!

[douwese]

This performance stands out if you compare it to the rest of the YouTube recordings of Chopin Opus 10 no. 1; chapeau!

[bluemonolith88]

@douwese actually i remember a vid of louis lortie playing this on fazioli that's so much bettter.

[anonymousQ45]

@bluemonolith88 Lortie is incredible

[thinkgreenlovepurple]

This gives me the chills...

so beautiful!!!!

[KeithWhalen11]

I actually really hate how easy some people make this etude look. I'm a guitar player and an average piano fiddler, but the stretches are just so daunting.

[goobleglob]

@KeithWhalen11 Why, there aren't any stretches in this piece at all!

[FromTheHeart99]

Mei-Ting Sun is the best young romatic pianist of our generation and his playing of this Chpoin etude--which seems to be his speciality--only prouves it time and time again. No one can surpass him. If I were millionaire I would put every dime behind his career and sponsor him without reserve. His romantic temperment is of the likes of which goes beyond many decades past. This is it my friends, listen to it again and cry. It simply won't get any better than this.

@FromTheHeart99: I bought one of his recordings years ago when he won the e-competition. He is really incredible and I thought the same thing about him even then. 

[anonymousQ45]

0:49 descending arpeggio accents my goodness that is music

他穩重的態勢，我想是凌駕於很多參賽者的。
