A very wonderful performance, full of emotions! Stupendous! I'm also learning that song for my ARCT =)

Hello Chung! This is Mark saying hi.

Sorry I missed this in Boston but glad I had the chance to see/hear it here.

The video is midway through the 1st mvt, and I just had to come one and tell you how FABULOUS this is.

It's one of my favorite of all piano works -- I've performed it many times, including in the competitions, so I know it well -- and I am in AWE of this performance. So expressive, creative, personal -- I cannot say enough good things about it.

BTW.....(cont'd, next post......)

......and I don't agree with the previous poster about it being technically "unfocused," nor about there being issues on the pedaling -- but I'm glad to see that he loved the performance too.

Great great job, Chung -- and what a wonderful piece this is for you.

P.S. My 1st post had a little typo -- I meant "had to come ON and tell you......" (of course)

Loved your playing ...and meeting you. Hope to see you in Seattle. Judy

Very expressive, insightful playing. Displays real understanding of the wistful, yearning nature always present in all of Schubert's best work.

Technically it's a little unfocussed, and he uses the pedal too richly, but there's a depth and maturity in the interpretation I like very much.

What a shame the second movement was cut off so clumsily!
