Kate truly has the soul for Chopin’s works, particularly his mazurkas. Thank you so much FCPA for posting this performance! Brilliant audio and video quality 🙏🏻
When watching Kate performing Chopin I always thinks how moved he would have been to se her performing with that sophistically applied emotionally content, so delicately well adjusted, she is my all time favorite Chopin interpreter
Will never forget her performances at the Chopin Competition, particularly what might be the best Em concerto I've heard. I see she has lost none of her panache and concentration. Kate is a great Chopinist, and it's gratifying to see her playing in first-rate venues.
Outstanding. I am so glad that Kate Liu is back to her "self", which accounted for her outer worldly interpretations in former years. Her sound quality, dynamic range and control, paired to thoughtfulness and expressiveness in every note she plays is difficult to find elsewhere- almost par to none.
These are very good interpretations!! How I remember the excellent recordings of Rubinstein and Cortot and their nostalgic Golden Age pianism. Thank you very much for this recording!! So happy that an Asian can be an international concert pianist.
Not only is Kate a great Chopin player, she plays them all with big in sight and talent@Alastairsc. Only coz she won some of the Mazurkas in a competition 8 years ago, do not mean that it is true at al. Kate is just as good with all other Chopin works and composers. One of the finest in the world. - To you Kate i want to say thank you so much - but also that in the slow passages you risk loosing the audience when you get too slow in the slow passages. I know - coz its so beautyful and u can express it but still. Out of tactical reasons, start and finish ur concerts impressing the audience with something also fast. Just a trick, but always working
Kate Liu, I wish you would read this comment of mine. I want to desperately tell you that while you may have your special way of presenting your talents to the the world through sharing your art with others at competitions, I wish you would stop! Everyone know that you won third place at the Chpin Competition in Warsaw! Few pianists can match that success. it is no small award. But you insisted on participating in the Van Cliburn Competition as if Van Cliburn was even as fine a pianist as you! Then, in 2024, you are headed off to the Geza Anza Competition. So... everybody know already how humble you are. You prefer to compete with unknowns and even now in lesser competitions than you big win in Warsaw. In the meantime, your namesake, Bruce Liu, who is equally humble, by the way, is making Deutsche Grammophon recordings...He is not competing. As you most avid fan, I want to try to persuade you to focus on concertising and getting recording contrasts. When I hear that you are going to compete at another contest, I have to ask myself why a genius like you need to do this anymore. This fan wants to buy your recordings. So, the obvious request that I would like to respectfully make is "Please, make recordings!" Bless you.
Kate is one excellent Chopin player for sure, but I totally understand why she has won the best mazurka player award but only claimed 3rd place on the competition. I believed because some of the pieces she played way too slow not to all judges liking, that’s how I feels after listening to this recital, but enjoy it very much, nonetheless !
Love her as a pianist. Can't stand the prokofiev sonata. I wish she chose a better sonata like one of Scriabin's. The prokofiev sonata's are just cold noise to me.
the Prokofiev sonatas are great masterpieces. The eighth is one of his "war sonatas" and there is meant to be a lot of cold noise depicting the brutality of war. That is not to say that there is no humanity or warmth in it, because there is an endless reserve of those as well.
@@angelinemapiano2543 I saw her in concert and loved her Handel and Chopin, but didn't care for this piece. Maybe someday it'll speak to me but I think it might be a little too atonal for my taste.
@@8beef4u There is hope! The taste you speak of was not there at birth. It's a miraculous nurtured phenomenon to be shaped to your benefit. I will join Angeline and advise that Prokofiev is well worth the effort. Kate can certainly help out. She is wonderful. :-}
@@8beef4u I was lucky enough to be introduced to this sonata through Richter's recording and became instantly obsessed with it. Perhaps this is a good place to start, as Richter captures perfectly the dark ominous, and anxious energy of the music. Kate, who I adore, is more on the contemplative/direct side. Maybe she just doesn't have as much darkness in her, not yet anyway ;) I still think she does a phenomenal job here, as she does with everything.
I am a big fan of Kate Liu !!!. this performance of Kate was too dark.!!! Schumann of encore, I was heard like as expect ruin. Kate Please play bright music of Chopin more .!!!!! in this situation I think that the audience may be disappears.!!!!!

Always happy to find new Kate Liu content…..such a marvelous talent!
Very impressive Schumann’s op.133.
Thank you, Kate.
Absolutely wonderful.. A living miracle.. Thank you Kate..!
I really like how she is always trying to play the dinamics and everything carefully

Her Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise Brillante in E flat major Op. 22 is one of my absolute favorites. She's honestly a gift.
Unique high level Artistry
Wonderful and clear recording. Thank you for sharing FCPA. An absolute pleasure to listen to this very high standard piano playing by Ms Kate Liu.

Merveilleuse interprète chopin et aussi beethoven dans une autre vidéo
Великолепно! Браво! Никогда ещё не слышал такого исполнения мазурок и ноктюрнов! Заметьте, как у неё звучит рояль!

Powerful emotional intensity for those listeners with receptors.
