HJ Lim - 'Moonlight' Sonata: I. Adagio sostenuto

[Megarashido]

bueatiful (ok i cant spell but u get the idea) the only piano piece i love. fucking lovely :-)

[aliusxxi]

Extraño estilo... Toca los famosos tresillos como si fueran tres notas, acentuando una u otra según le plazca; en vez del adaggio sostenuto hace un andante...

No reconozco la sonata, parece otra...

[DannyJonesMusicVille]

Hey guys sorry 4 being random but I have some tracks on my page and it wud mean alot if u guys come check it out thanx loads much luv :)

[utilmusic]

So musical and intense. The best version I've ever heard.

[jimmieteemm]

so much talent but I do personally prefer this played slower but that's just me

[AZNrider1]

In my opinion, this sounds a little too fast, making some parts sound a little sloppy. Other than that, she played well. I liked her dynamics and I praise her for trying something different from others. I just like it slower though.

[prokofiev89]

My favorite interpretation.

[BizziLizzi1020]

This is being played abit too fast :/

[lestaleky]

its not the sex pistols thats for sure

[kanerio1x1]

please be my twaxher

[StripsDubstep]

MENTAL SHIT BOYS!

[Icarus1290]

Way too fast for. Another Sunny Choi wanna be.. But needless to say; your piece was excellent, just reduce the tempo a litte :)

[ogotakorin]

It's nice to see someone playing something other than a Steinway!

[kanerio1x1]

wonderful. thank you!

[donjuanmozart]

Adagio est un adverbe Italien, qui signifie à l'aise, commodément, qui exprime en musique un mouvement tenant entre andante (marcher) et largo (lent). Surtout quand on connaît le contexte dans lequel fut composée cette sonate, on ne pourrait jamais parler d'une mer calme! Être "correcte" ou jouer correctement est le dernier de mes soucis.

[donjuanmozart]

C'est enfin l'interprétation la plus sublime qui m'ait été donné d'écouter. Il y a une grande intensité et expression que Lim tient en haleine du début à la fin, extrêmement difficile pour un interprète d'atteindre ce niveau là. Toutes les harmonies chantent sous la dominance de ce chant que Lim conduit divinement, tout le mouvement apparaît alors sous un nouveau jour car on peut le saisir dans son intégralité.

[3m1u1s3ique]

Cette interprétation est parfaitement incorrecte. beaucoup trop rapide et d'un rythme irrégulier. Adagio sostenuto veut dire très lent et avec une certaine retenue et solennité. La meilleure interprétation, à mon avis la seule vraiment valable est celle de W. KEMPF.Le chant doit se dégager au-dessus d'une mer absolument calme. Les triolets doivent être joués sottovoce, et beaucoup plus liés.

[COCOONFABULA]

@3m1u1s3ique "très lent et avec une certaine retenue et solennité" "mer absolument calme" justement, c'est là que je trouve c'est "parfaitement incorrecte" (je salue néanmoins le bel oxymore)

[jawdroppinglyawesome]

I do play piano a bit and am learning this, this is sort of the correct tempo although needs a kind of up beat atmosphere! ind of got slighty boring after a while but beautiful music!

[sunnymoon1959]

Most interesting and beautiful interpretation ever. She really captured Beethoven's spirit, the world is very lucky that Lim has made this integral with her revolutionary visions. Her Beethoven is the most powerful, expressif, revolutionary, a true beethovenian insight. This integral will emerge as the reference for all.

[Eleonorevonhofmann]

The most beautiful music I ever played on my piano! Dagmar vKB.

[Toxxic88]

Judging from the comments, I have to add that many people who've left them don't actually play piano. This is a correct tempo. The majority of performances of this sonata are actually interpreted with the wrong and slower tempo, which could falsely create the perception that this particular performance is deviant.

[kl2999]

little too fast, i like the slower version more.

[Historyoftheworld88]

once it's gone you'll realize how important it is

[worldclass777]

pretty fast...almost too fast? I dunno. still well played.

[captainPJSchannel]

CONGRATULATIONS

[sacurada2009]

My favorite interpretation, it's like she's speaking to me...so intense and dramatic...

[griegundwolfgang]

Thank you for having revived this music that has been asleep for too long! Finally I hear the real moonlight, each harmonie is felt and has its own colour, so the succession of the hamornies in your interpretation makes real sense! For the first time, I've cried listening to this piece. Most moving interpretation i've ever heard.

[Rio1949]

The pianist is beautiful. But plays without expression. She stayed on the surface of the music of Beethoven. Is young and has still a long way to go.

[jeangorin]

Pour ma part, je trouve cette interprétation plate, ennuyeuse, à contre sens même ! Je n'aime pas.

[mrtonyman123]

@jeangorin si tu pense que c'est ennuyeuse, pourqoi pour regarder?

[jeangorin]

@mrtonyman123 Pour donner, un avis, une appréciation il faut bien avoir visionner la vidéo !!!! En outre je ne demande à personne d'être d'accord avec moi. Si vous n'acceptez pas la critique ne publiez pas vos vidéos !!! Cordialement.

[mrtonyman123]

@jeangorin do you speak english at all?

[jeangorin]

@mrtonyman123 I can translate with Mr Goole ! Best regards

[jeangorin]

@mrtonyman123 To give an opinion, a judgment we must have watch the video!! Also I do not ask anyone to agree with me. If you do not agree with the critics do not publish your videos! Cordially.

[naberus73]

..singolare..anche la presa ritmica...brava!!

[rodrigoruiz1988]

I like this view of the sonata, which is almost always played too slow. The indication is Adagio sostenuto, which means "At ease and sustained", which to me points to a flowing, cantabile in which THE NOTES are sustained and not TIME. Very expressive and she's very attentive to all the expressive markings in the score, as well as nuances and shadings that go well with the harmonic colors. Still would like to hear the other two movements to see what she does there.

[lvbandmore]

Wonderful, brave and fresh.

The people who don't get this should just stick to their Daniel Barenboim and Claudio Arrau records.

[viszla100]

Too fast ... not felt, not deep enough ... no pain, no suffering .. no understanding?

[jeangorin]

@viszla100 Je partage votre avis !

[TheHm70]

how would it be on a bösendorfer and not on a yamaha :)

[ahuckleberryfriend]

There't a lot of prettyism in her rendition, but there is no soul at all. A soundtrack to the Twilight Saga.

[rayschalch]

she really feels the song. amazing

[avyanez]

It is good to hear it again.
