HJ Lim plays the World's fastest version (the real one) of the flight of the bumble bee.

[cristinchikka]

You learn a song, and it takes you a week. Then you realize tree was an Asian person half your age who learned that song in 1 day

[Redflowers9]

effiency heh heh is our speciality... heh heh

[calitats321]

@Redflowers9 Oh, Rearry?

[Scarlett193966]

Surely she gets finger cramps!

[bertrandui]

Georges(György) Cziffra 

[lisztismylove]

I wathched this at least on million times but still can't believe what I see.....

[30inventionman]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT AND A HOLY FUCKY SHIT, MY WATER JUST BROKE!

[TheSuitIsNOTBlack]

What the heck was that??????????????? I'm amazed and confused at the same time!!

[Corkscrew777doughnut]

SADAKO CAN PLAY THE PIANO???

[mikiwink]

@Corkscrew777doughnut LMAO Sadako! that movie makes me want to punch things. and I just finished watching Kimi no Todoke XD

[gordonchrome]

She needs a airplane runway before she stops....

[Ebonics101]

more like... Bees On Crack!

[itsjustnopinionok]

It nice. It's played very fast. To fast. So she proved it could b done. But bumble bees don't fly that fast.

[ShadeeDelshad]

I didn't think this was humanly possible. Of course an asian would prove the world wrong. Dang, they're good at everything.

[MsNinjamonkey1]

@ShadeeDelshad i know right..

[gainweighttoday]

0:15 her fingers are about to fly off--->

[Sejun0515]

gee

[Sejun0515]

Nice korean!! gee

[Sejun0515]

Nice korean!!



[phguitar2010]

omg the bee took so much STEROID

[TheJefedesapuka]

she's hot!!!!!hehehe

[BladeFlyheight2]

She can jerk me off anytime...

[adrenalinerush369]

this is sadako playing

[TheThreeM]

If the bees really fly with this rythem of this lady playing, the bee would probably lost it wings...

[sumimimi0]

everyone was smiling and talking when she started playing this song.. everyone looked too serious..

[WarHeat2]

i never knew bees could fly at mach 7

[Choltik]

OMG! She is the god of fingers xD

[skimask777]

I wonder what they eat?

[angelooooooos]

guinness, guinness,guinness!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! bravaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :)

[ArttillaZ]

Maksim Mrvica seems really NooB compared to this one =.=

[beralder9]

ninja piano player, ninja bee.

perfect combo.

[MrLaptopgeek]

god dam god dam stop stop...piano is supposed to be suthing poor bees get well soon

[christob1972]

ATTACK OF THE GIANT KILLER BUMBLEBEES!!!!!

[julieszfresh]

omg this give me chills.!!!!

[light4darkness]

Bumblebees don't fly that fast, maybe killer bees.

[TheSARAH4556]

This is kinda scaring me....in a good way!

[fabregas7242]

how many beats per minute?

[cuparinos]

@fabregas7242 210 crotchet's per min.

[mafucity]

There are very few people in history who can play this piece. But only Lim has this stunning ease, as if it were child's play. Incredible!

[LeLimeLine]

I could do that.

I just don't want to.

[7MrsLost]

what the hell lol?

[deimov]

scary...

[aqflarehawk]

ka - boom

[oopparala]

Wow this ninja is serious! Good job!

[irundishit1]

you go girl! :) awesome as

[onajrboy]

i think she played flight of the killer bees.

[pinkapple37]

wow...i always thought that this was like impossible to play but i am utterly amazed...i wonder how long it took her to learn this...

[kabukibear]

@pinkapple37 Well, this is the hardest version of this piece there is. This is arranged by Georges Cziffra who was a super virtuoso which is why his version is so hard. The version you probably hear most often is the Rachmaninoff arrangement and, while not as hard as THIS, is still very challenging in it's own right.

[rebharath]

gaaaawwwwwddddDAMN i feel old. yeah, that was FAST! *thumbs up*

[otharennaur]

@PaintMyNailsBlaq Actually it's something like that. It's a mix of muscle memory and finger independence.

[sadabukon]

감사합니다...

[sadabukon]

감사합니다.

[dabigdawgggggggggggy]

is this the reason koreans are so good at starcraft?

[kfree33]

@dabigdawgggggggggggy Perhaps it's the other around

[ruckaisawesome]

how the HELL can ANYBODY dislike this video???

[sumimimi0]

[highflierweq]

[SHOKATAboyMKD]

By her fastness the sound looks like a little late :D

[linzki]

Matrix :D

[tjdrummer13]

SHES A WITCH!

[Zanshin666]

@tjdrummer13 DONT STARTLE THE WITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[POPYLOLY8]

[Sunae591]

[ontwo3y]

lololol, the audience barely has a chance to sit down and she just goes and RIPS, I swear they're thinking, "dammit HOLD ON, LET ME CATCH MY BREATH"

[TheSoken123]

it doesn't feel like the flight of the bumblebee, you can call it the flight of the crazy fingers!

[TheNickMains]

Her hands made 138 people dizzy.

[bryanear]

@TheNickMains make it ppl

[markabejero]

OH MOTHER HELP ME!!! SO OMG!!!

[MERTx123]

The Continuum of reality is torn.

[MEATTOEAT88]

:O OMG!

AWESOME!

[mercury1980]

Like crazy! God-like fingers

[GingyPno123]

If I want to be able play like her, I have to train 10 hours a day in 50 years

[Virtuosic1]

@GingyPno123 Doesn't matter if you train 24 hours a day for 1000 years.. if you don't have similar neural pathways, and a genetically gifted playing mechanism, advantageous to this type of fast twitch impulse playing, you wont duplicate it.

[JustAnotherSomeone90]

she's asian, what's new about it? LOL

I'm kidding she is the most awesomest pianist I've ever seen :)

[SnowHeart35]

i could never do that

[OrangeSodaKing]

Is this the Cziffra version? Either way, this is very impressive!

[CRISNCHIPS12398]

Her hands are an absolute blur! Incredible!

[DanteMoodyFilms]

I've played piano over 10 years, and I don't see how her fingers keep from locking up.

VERY impressive.

[sumimimi0]

she just ate yuja for breakfast. yuja bye bye, u are not the fastest anymore. bye

[purdyredfoxy]

[gikcp34]

She is really beautiful, I want to marriage her!!!!

[TheFloradragon]

[hartistry]

Going that fast you should not even touch the pedals. Great playing.



[renenkel]

[TheFloradragon]

[cherryflower198]

[Austin101123]

[ahmedeox]

Can you imagine her as a computer programmer? She'd code a new, workable version of windows in a few days

[zabuzato]

@ahmedeox You mean Few hours :)

[TheWh4T]

@ahmedeox or a few seconds.

[wkzh]

@ahmedeox It wouldn't be a new, workable version of windows. It'd be a whole new OS!

[ahtnamas03]

[BunxBuns]

[rigel48]

Astounding !

[koreanjeenyus]

[azz1muth]

I wonder how didn't she break her fingers! :O Amazing!

[scream2237]

DAMN!!!!!!!

[LeicesterGirl12]

Thats is just unreal, u can hardly see her fingers O.O i bet she goes through a few pianos playing that quick lol

[CrownedInfinityEnt]

From a PURELY technical stand-point, some of the legends of old would be awed by what some of these pianist's have achieved.

[pimasta314]

I just saw Yuja Wang...but never mind!!!

[pimasta314]

I just saw Yuja Wang...but never mind!!!

[pimasta314]

I just saw Yuja Wang...but never mind!!!

[pimasta314]

[GustavMinski]

I could quite happily watch this 960 times a day, then sleep for 1920 seconds left in the day and repeat the process!

Incredible!!

[21nst21n]

Yesterday I've read about her in the Korean on-line newspaper, Ohmynews. I was fascinated. She's also unknown yet in Korea. I hope she visits Korea and I can see her at concerthall. I'll be there! ••••••from Korea.

[agpban]

[juwanyou100]

[Kerenism]
