Where does it come from ?

[sal50811]

@Zanpra radio broadcasting concert (rach 3). that's the encore

@MsCraigdp SHUT UP AND LISTEN! She's PERFECT you'll never play as she doin'!

[MsCraigdp]

She's certainly got chops and speed but I think she gets ahead of herself sometimes, it sounds a bit rushed, Try listening to the version by Garrick Ohlsson (if you can find it) to see what I mean. I get the feeling she needs to get past her ferocious speed to really come into her own.

Wow, many comments that basically say nothing. You guys are too much. Yuja is good, she is good at fast pieces. She's not nearly as good as Kissin and way below where Jung Lin is. You guys gotta accept some are better, some are worse. Jung Lin is a Goddess on piano! :D

@36beachbum I am here to listen to all these wonderfull musicians/pianists.All of them have their own unique characteristics and talents.I believe they all have 1 thing in common and thats "hard work" and I truly respect each and one of them..Its a pity to see that so many comments are discriminating.Critisizing and discriminating robs you from higher cognitive powers.I might not like a paricular pianist but that does not give me the right to be discriminating towards her/him.:)

[abmsghost1]

@36beachbum Objectively?Ok.I am always willing to learn from specialists like you.Could you please point out a few details as to why Lin's performance is superior...lets take the element of 'clarity' as you mentioned.How does it show and what should we listen for?And could you please specify why exactly Lin is more phenomenal than Miss Wang.Please enlighten me.Thank you.

[36beachbum]

@abmsghost1 In piano terms (you are a pianist?) Lin's is much superior in every way you consider: phrasing, tonal colour, tempo, clarity, one of the best interpretations of "the" scherzo that I know of. Objectively then Jung Lin's performance is more phenomenal than Yuja's. In fact Lin is much more phenomenal as a pianist, that's what makes her pure magic. :)

[abmsghost1]

@36beachbum Great playing!But.. Why exactly is Lin's performance much more phenomenal and pure magic? Please explain.:)

[36beachbum]

@abmsghost1 Good catch. Listen to Jung Lin's performance of this piece, much more phenomenal and it's pure magic.

to abmsghost1 .... Hear hear, I agree whole-heartedly. Typically, people with ego-dystonic behavoir and other behavioral issues will spout off at the mouth as is demonstrated. If they THINK that they can do better... we're here to listen!! This young lady is unbelievably gifted!

[dreaminginenglish]

@abmsghost1 Amen.
