To anyone wondering why he deleted his channel : he now assumes his name and identity and does not wish to be referred to as LDF. He also cut his hair to show furthermore his transformation, as seen in his Feinberg 3. And to all people wondering why he doesn't play as good on stage as in recordings, it's because he has enormous stage anxiety, to the point where it's become a disease. He's a perfectionist and always wants to play perfectly but since he's so anxious he'll rush a lot when live, but when he's in a recording studio after some attemps he'll forget his anxiety and play more freely. I know this because he's the friend of one of my friends in my conservatory. That said friend showed me a non-published recording of 4b which was better than the versions of the 2 competitions he attended.
I don't even come close to his technical skills, but I wouldn't trade fate with him. No matter how fast , and perfect he can play the piano, I'm pretty sure the dude is half-hearted . It shows in his facial expression. There's something wrong with him. (as with Evgeni Kissin) but Kissin's career was more fortunate. If I could play the piano as fast as Yi-Chung Huang, I would record the 24 Chopin Etudes faster than anyone has ever played. He could beat Sokolov too.
This young pianist has to go very far. His musical language and technical precision is almost unmatched. Definitely for this piece. I hope he will work on more Liszt pieces in the future as it seems it fits his style. It's a joy to listen to him, so inspiring. It's not only his speed or technique, his musical ideas are great, he really feels the music as well.
Sorry to break it to you, but, as a former member of this young man's discord server, he absolutely despises Liszt now. He considers Liszt as a terrible composer.
@PhallusMaximusPRIME yeah, such a shame, he had a very unique touch that made those Lisztian passages very fluid but powerful, he had a great sense for it. I wonder why he had this change in his taste.
it's amazing what people can do when pushed to the edge. but often not good for them personally. hope this guy finds a good outlet for his amazing ability.
It’s like paganini/liszt driven motivation to reach yourself to this level, where the only person you’ll ever outclass now is yourself, like selling your soul to the devil fr
Incredible performance !!! He's one of the best technician of all times (seriously he played Alkan "Le Preux" and S.140.4b by Franz Liszt really well). I really wonder why he deleted his channel, it's such a shame to no longer be able to enjoy many of this great artist's performances...
he deleted his account for some reason a couple weeks ago on youtube & instagram that i know, i tried looking for his account even with the link but it said "this account does not exist anymore" so...
@@t8RKfUsBPeA If I remember correctly, LaDivinaFanatic was his second account. Many years ago, he had another account where he played his own arrangement of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3, as well as Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit and other highly difficult pieces. These were recordings from when he was in his teens, but they were all deleted later
its not sped up. he is very, very gifted technically. from watching some competitions he could mature a little with musicality, but the kid could become one of the greatest. although judging from his online presence and posts on reddit, it seems he is slightly - um, i don't know the word. IYKYK
@@joethompson1724he posted saying that he hates music and wants to off himself or something along those lines. Basically gixelz is implying LDF is a little unstable
I usually watch the score video of this performance. I watched it again for the first time in a while and all I can say is that from 9:41 on is the fastest I've ever seen hands move. I hope LDF continues to make cool recordings, rather than... IYKYK.
This man has done something close to the limit of human capabilities He deserves a monument just for this one performance This is the best Spanish Fantasy in history, and it is unlikely that we will see anything even close to this level in the coming years This is not just almost flawless technically, it's unrivaled from an artistic point of view Historical shit
@@FredericChopinReal While is it a true statement that you have made, you MUST have very good technical building blocks. Preferably building blocks made in the same way Liszt's was made. (Mainly Beetoven, Bach, and CZERNY) You can't get to that level simply by playing something that hard, you must technically analyze the steps it will take to get to Liszt's Spanish fantasy(: I wish you the best of luck practicing.
@@DukeGustafson IDK man, you dont have to learn the same way that Liszt did to play his compositions, I am learning this right now as you can se in my videos. I never pkayed Bach or Czerny👍
Imagine being able to play scales that fast :O I would be doing nothing but seeing how fast I could play Flight Of The Bumblebee just to piss off people at my live performances XD
That’s a very difficult question to answer. Hamelin has likely been performing longer than LaDivina has even been alive, so we can’t really compare the two yet without some heavy speculation.
@@dihydrogenmonoxide5994yeah, if I had to be brutally honest, Hamelin may be better in public performances, but Yi Chung Huang is better in speed and less mistakes in a no-person environment.
At the very least LDF has the potential to be. Bouts of neurosis hold him back in public. Otherwise, in terms of virtuosity, then sure, but moreover, Hamelin's playing is often uninspired and phrased in the traditionally mechanical modern-school manner with uninspired voicing while LDF is old-school.
Pianists like Hamelin don't doubt the authenticy of his online performances, and you should see him play in live competitions. His playing there is a lot more crazy than here, and impossible to fake. Anyways I personally believe someone with his personality would never take such shortcuts.
@@Alessandro.h One of my mates sent one of this guy's performances to Hamelin on Twitter a while ago (like early 2023) who inturn appreciated the effort put into the performance though he was displeased about him hiding behind a fake name. I don't use Twitter though, so I wouldn't be able to direct you to the exact post.
@@Alessandro.h I found the tweet, although YT is very annoying when it comes to lings, even putting spaces won't fix them. (Tysm spam bots) I can qoute the tweet though.

It's an INCREDIBLY difficult work of Franz Liszt and borderline unplayable at tempo. What an incredible achievement.
Yup!
thank you for the reupload, it's genuinely incomprehensible how the performance is so perfect. truly doesn't make sense
One of the best performances ever made in the history of music, period. Thank you, Yi-Chung Huang.
Yeah, it's close to unparalleled in terms of sheer virtuosity. Pretty monumental.
I third that. I’ve listened to it hundreds (not an exaggeration) of times over the last several months. Well done and thank you
The thing that gets me is why don't you ever hear of him. Judging by this performance he would outclass every other pianist on the earth!
@@pureblood101you hear from him a lot, it just depends where your platform is😂
