I completely disagree. Check out Kissin's recording...it's even slower than this. Would you call him a cautious player? I don't think the emotional effect of this composition is one to be rushed. Bravo to this version!

I remember playing against Thomas in the Saskatoon music festival years ago and knowing if his name was on the list, the rest of us were competing for runner-up. An incredibly talented musician who I now use as an example to inspire my own students.

I'm a premed student, and I'm learning rach 3 right now on my own time. Hopefully before I finish med school I can finish learning it. But I never imagined myself getting to play it with an orchestra. You've made me believe that I can make my dream come true. Thanks, Dr. Yu ;)

@thy306 You're too modest, you are without any doubt much better than a lot of international-level professionals ;)

You are incredible. A hope for other "amateurs" out there, to see how amazingly you play this hard piece. ConDraculations!

i want to break down the barrier of the title "amateur". it doesn't necessarily mean that the level of playing is amateur, i just want to represent all those who are out there that love to play piano but have other careers during the day. if anything, i'd love to get rid of that amateur title, because it carries a negative connotation.

As an amateur pianist, I dreamed one day of playing the Rach 3. Now I realize I am not up to the professional calibre, but hopefully you will feel connected to the music in your own way! Check out thomasyu dot ca to learn more!
