[Geopholus]

This is my favorite performance of Bach's Italien concerto #1. I listenned to Glenn Gould again for the too manyeth time,... his obsessive technique is like washing your hands til they bleed, in comparison to Tammy Wu bouncing spiritedly through the piece conveying all it's musicallity. Check Tammy Wu at Wilshire for Itln Conc #3

[Bolyriak]

Bravo, bravissimo!

[MathWhiz234]

wow

[nikkitytom]

A simply astonishing performance. I have scanned dozens of ":unknown" perfomers playing this lovely piece and this enchanting child outdoes them all. She's reminiscent of Gould ... and at such a young age. Truly amaziing.

To understand the multiple layering in this piece and to be able to achieve that independence of the individual 'voices' bespeaks great talent ... and very fine teaching.

@witchcraftlord Whoa thanks for letting all of us know that YOU'VE composed something!!!!!

I think all of your nit picking comments are ridiculous. She is an amazing 8 year old who did a wonderful job. All of you jealous cats out there- back off because I guarantee you none of you played like this at 8 years of age. Good job Tammy!

[linhythepooh]

shes amazing! and that was 3 years ago! i cant even imagine how well she play now! :) i think shes around my age, im 12 and im no where near as good as her! may she play with passion(:

@witchcraftlord hey... in classical world, interpreter and composer are distinct careers. a great interpreter does not need to compose, and we have several examples of great composers which were terrible -- or at least cold -- interpreters (Ravel, Villa-lobos even Mozart, to name some).

[witchcraftlord]

she may know how to play piano, but every single pianist in the word is not a musician unless they compose and improvise, this girl can play bach, but she probably couldnt even compose a 2 part invention like i have

Magnificent, crisp and exciting. A great talent and a great future. Incidentally do Americans not have any other adjective in their vocabulary than 'awesome'?
