[hongkongforever]

What a brilliant girl she is!!!!!!!!!

[stevef095]

.....and did she just break a string at the end? (**thwaaaang**)

[shamitri]

@stevef095 hahahahaha, no, thats the kind of sound most pianos, no matter how good the quality, make at that pitch because the sound is so deep, it almost doesnt really register as a separate note to those around it, ands sounds really strange

[Glinkaism1]

Very many orientals are fantastically gifted in music. Much more so that any other race. And that goes for science and math, too. It's a combination of genes and education.

[jomc20]

Of course this is amazing but has the poor child had any sort of normal childhood?I mean, how many hours a day do you have to practice to pay like this and what's the rush?

[Glinkaism1]

@jomc20 Better than the slothful Americans.

[jomc20]

@Glinkaism1

I am sure there are many 'pushy' parents of precocious parents in America! A chinese American mother recently wrote a book about how she had pushed her daughter to practice many hours a day in order to get into the Juliard School. The fact is, though, that however early a musician starts learning, everyone has their peak and what difference does it make if they reach it at 10 or 20, except that they may miss out on childhood...

[stevef095]

@jomc20 its yuja wang, the concert pianist (20-something years old now).

she said in an interview that she chose to take up music and her parents merely supported her. so i guess there are exceptions

[afertyus1000]

@stevef095 yes but she was lying her parents took her to a teacher when she was 4 so she never just said she would like to take up music

[22feochadan]

this scares me... I'm 17 and been playing for as long as she is old, and I'm struggling with that piece D:

[themightysheepster]

@22feochadan I'm 14, spent half a year, and still have to read the notes to be able to play it crappily and with a LOT of wrong notes. Off tempo too lolol.

[morrissixty]

Diabolica. Dovrebbe giocare con le bambole.

[backstreetboyster]

i thought they only had slave labor for underage girls in gymnastics in china...

[musicy88]

aww i believe it's yuja wang!

[maximmaximo]

Sei bravissima!! Complimenti.

[ueblondon]

poulenc is just fantastic!

[bandfreaks47]

ok weid but dang she is GOOD!!!!!!!

[hichics]

sorry that was my brother

[hichics]

there's no doubt that she has genuine talent

[14Friendsofpalestine]

Bravo!

[ueblondon]

for me slightly robotic, but yet fabulous...

[cuprik]

Pretty amazing though I prefer the Kristhyan Benitez,. At 10, she can play it perfectly, and someone can tell her exactly what expression to give it. But at 10, it's simply impossible for her to have had the life experience to understand the piece.

[jeffwithtwoels]

whoa - this kid is AWESOME! I've heard full-grown mature pianists make hash of this piece. She has it down technically and makes it sing. Brava!

[OrbiliusMagister]

Well, no wonder: she's YUJA WANG. Compare with watch?v=TkoO-IOsaPE

If you don't know her, just watch these two videos to get an update about what she's doing now... watch?v=W2xwNfpmWfM or watch?v=U8JR94Ef5n8

... or her "karate smash hit": watch?v=ef8ZiKOoXiA

[JHJennings]

I agree. This girl is technically wonderful but also musically gifted.

[enjoiMarkMullen]

of course shes chineese

[EmilyCatchWind]

she plays like machine or something.

i don't like it.

[hichics]

@EmilyCatchWind what's wrong with her playing?i think you dont have a proper understanding of this song or you're just jealous

[winxcat]

Best player of this song. It isnt soo quick that it becomes quiet and the expressions and loud parts are perfect. I love this song :D

[The19641966]

beautifull interpreter.......great !

[fremsley001]

Wow - playing like this already at 10 years old. Just think how good she'll be aged 98!!

[bwacc]

just 1 word: PERFECT

[hichics]

@bwacc well, duh! :-)

[TheMegaflump]

How on earth can a 10 year old play like this??? I'm utterly gobsmacked. Genius. Absolutely amazing.

[xalspaero]

awful performance, but for a 10 year old, it's quite amazing

[crimsontide504]

what in your opionion was so awful about it? I myself thought it was quite good

[xalspaero]

well, all the mistakes for one =)

[brianho2004]

@xalspaero

remember this is toccata, there is nothing wrong to play in that way, I think

[rusz]

wow!!! fantastic!!!

[danielbarley]

mental, (that means insanely brilliant)

[Lackmintdayeb]

omg! thats brill! who is that?

[lilly763]

Yuja Wang. You can find many other videos of her on YouTube, including some which appear to be from the same recital as this one. Check out the user whokowns.

[Lackmintdayeb]

@lilly763 thanks i'll check the other vids out

[yorkshiremusician]

Very, very, very good. Not just technically good, but musically beautiful too.

[Phoenixmirage]

Hol-...! O_o

[ji94552]

The sound quality is not great, but I can still hear how great she is. Thank you for uploading.
