  • Yu is as expressive as a pianist can become. He sits is complete and total mastery of the instrument and the music. What a joy to experience his love.

  • wow i was just looking back at old comments posted, and i have to say a big thank-you to your kind words. very encouraging!

  • what do u think about when u play? images, scenes, stories...etc?

  • i was thrown off in this performance because people were sitting so close. the front row could touch the keys if they reached. so i was thinking about how uncomfortable it must be for these people to have to sit so still for me. it was also pretty hard to hear anything in that cathedral. but, zems is right...i don't really think about much when i play, i just act instinctively. so i think music is more related to the gut and soul, not our eyes and ears so much.

  • Very good. Congratulations for 3rd place in Chopin Competition for Amateur. I regret I wasn't able to watch. Could you send me your competition program?

  • maybe thomas is not perfect at touching every "single notes" perfectly, but i enjoy listening to him more, at least he play it naturally... and why nobody mention about arthur rubinstein???

  • I completely agree with 'bourbakis'' as well as with 'thy's' comments about the non-importance of neither eyes nor ears when playing. Gould was going much further when saying it hadn't even much to do with...hands! Instinct, maybe... or rather a sort of intelligence of the soul, who can tell? Anyhow, zems' enquiry was a very natural one which was worth asking for. Sorry for my english, i am french and usually express myself in french, i just ran forth after reading...

  • nice, but how do u play at 3:11 and 3:17, the left hand doesnt press the chord, lang lang does same thing. but yundi li and rafal blechacz dont .

  • You are wonderfull!I wish everybody to play like that...

  • For a non-musician it's a natural question to ask something like that. Do you know what a pilot is thinking when flying? A physicist when gazing at the stars? A doctor when operating? People ask such questions out of curiosity, nothing to do with being stupid. No need to be rude about it.

  • What a stupid question! When ppl play piano they think how to touch the right key at the right time. Music is related to our ears, not our eyes so forget about images, unless u take drugs. We don't have to lie. We don't have to make a fake orgasm. Thomas Yu is great!
