I love her slow tempo , the singing in her pianissimo expressed in the most sweet way, you can really enjoy so many details and dynamics that in other interpreters they are not audible.
My favorite Chopin interpreter is Kate Liu. Never too fast, never too slow, never out of touch - literally, and in my inner response to her expressions. Bravo 😍
Hey my Kate play s here grand piano 🎹 as the queen of the piano 🎹 and the show of it of her face and the playing of her piano and the beautiful sound of the piano Kate I love you so much and the piano 🎹 ❤
how can a man write a thing like this can someone explain to me, how well educated you have to be on theory it's insane. this man had no tv no phone he learned continuously every day his entire life I admire this genious

3:36 honestly the best transition to that section I've ever heard. That first b-flat wasn't given a hint of an accent or emphasized like how most pianists play it, instead, she played, what sounds like, a diminuendo from pianissimo. Wow. In terms of musicality, this is one of the best recordings I've ever heard ngl
I'll never listen to 7:34 to 8:03 the same way again. She gives the section time to breathe and flow, and gives every chord time to shine. In other (but also noteworthy) interpretations, it's usually overlooked or sped up, that part. Her phrasing is ethereal.
I agree with you 100%...! Her next big step is in learning... when to breathe. The control of the breath means being able to close and/or open the entire aura with the composers intensions. Highly intuitive lesson. Intuition and prayer and then self-evaluation are always necessary. Don't you think?
The tempo was well-chosen; given Chopin specialised in packing the emotions of a lifetime into miniature forms, a slower-than-usual tempo allows us to better appreciate the monumental nature of the work, for longer.
Incredible attention to details. I love how she waited before transitioning to coda at 9:34. Lush rubatos. Very bold and mature rendition. But also the piano is SUPER fine tuned and the acoustics of the venue is incredible.
When Kate Kate Liu plays Chopin, the more you listen, the more you understand. And just when you think you’re about to solve the mystery, things become even more mysterious. 👩🏻🎹👩🏻
I used to thank this is too slow until I read the score and learn the piece myself, now this is my favorite interpretation by far because she plays it exactly how I would imagine and play it myself.
The best interpretation of Ballad No.1. For me Kate Liu is the only pianist who ever understood Chopin. Her interpretation is pure, natural. She's putting away all the spiderwebs from the interpretation of other pianists and shows us what Chopin wanted to express in his music.
I have listened to so many performances of this Ballad in my life, and each performance is always unique. Whoever plays it. What Kate presents to us here is extremely lived through and in an incredibly beautiful balance. She shows us Chopin's heart and doesn't use it by turning it into her own show. She is a pure musical soul who enriches us with her beautiful performances. Thank you Kate! From Austria,Paul

That is a incredible performance, the felling is so warm, is very good, this performamce is fantastic, Kate Liu is a ¡Grand pianist! The ballad is beautiful but she plays it with great quality and its melody is so beautiful. it's perfect.
I find it crazy she didn’t win the competition. Clear audience favor as well as a few judges. Unfortunately, the judges were more concerned with a few minor mistakes than musicianship
Totally agree! Beyond that, she had 3rd place and that's is worth it, but in my opinion, she should have won first place, though Seong-Jin Cho (1st price) is brilliant too.
I would think she might need some more weight to be able to pull Chopin's ballads ! But what producing here -Ballad 1- testifies she is strong enough! I surrender to Kate !! Kate knows what she is expected at this level of masterpiece and she meets the demand. You are up there with other topnotchers! Congratulations!
I liked much of this very much. I used to play this and I've heard it from most everybody. I love that Ms. Liu is a wonderful artist that has something to say. The first half is just a little too slow for me. I am usually begging for somewhat slower tempi, but it can get bogged down and a little too agonizing if not careful. The second half was wonderful music making, exquisitely played. I liked the 2nd half so much that I'm inspired to go back to it and play it that way.
Interpeta esta maravillosa Balada N°1 de Chopin, extraordinariamente bien, Kate Liu es una muy joven pianista fuera de serie, toca el piano con gran serenidad y seguridad, notas claras y precisas, matices perfectos, entiende a Chopin como pocos, las más bellas interpretaciones que he escuchado de esta excelsa Balada son de Krystian Zimerman y kate Liu, sin exagerar. She performs this wonderful Ballade No. 1 by Chopin, extraordinarily well, Kate Liu is a very young outstanding pianist, she plays the piano with great serenity and security, clear and precise notes, perfect nuances, she understands Chopin like few others, the most beautiful The interpretations that I have heard of this excellent Ballade are by Krystian Zimerman and Kate Liu, without exaggeration.
Katie plays the piano 🎹 and with feelings of the whole 🎹 piano 🎹 she is a great Dam piano player and she needs to be loved on by me and I could hold her
I am not thrilled by this interpretation, but she is in ecstasy like I have rarely seen in a pianist. I'd love to know what made her play it this way and indeed their art parts that are virtuoso in spite of my hesitancy to fully embrace it.
...geile Sau...diese fantastische Langsamkeit und Schwere, die sie dem Stück gibt...das muss man erst mal so spielen können....ich gebe zu: ich bin beeindruckt!
Favolosa, la più bella interpretazione della Ballata Op.23 di tutti i tempi!👏👏👏👏👏👏💖

I totally agree!!!
Try Zimmerman’s
@@fekriabenarous9030 idk who is better, like almost the same

@@huobenpeng9494 so good 👍🙏

👩🏻🎹👩🏻
You are right I absolutely agree with you and thanks for pointing out this detail!!
Niesamowite wykonanie.
One of the best performances of this piece , even among those by Kate Liu, she really coaxes the notes from the piano this time!
Oh my god, this is incredible. How come I never found this before?
I’ve never played piano but to me this sounds like perfection….she’s obviously brilliant!
I just cry,again and again
Fantastic communicator! Miracle as always with her!
No words... She is amazing..
That is !
The best interpretation of ballade 1 ever! Chopin would have been by far astonished by such an interpretation! I love Kate's playing!
Try to Listen to Annie Zhou's.

Happy birthday Kate ! may 23 （2023）.
We love you so much.
we will want Kate to play a lot of Chopin music from now on .
It’s amazing how many different ways Chopins music can be interpreted, how many ways it can be heard and felt
A very thoughtful interpretation, very unique. We need individual and courageous artists.
I used to thank this is too slow until I read the score and learn the piece myself, now this is my favorite interpretation by far because she plays it exactly how I would imagine and play it myself.
Kate liu ballade no 1 here is actually a standout within all the similar ballade performances by other pianists

When I'm listening to this I feel like floating, Kate's sense of music is unbelievable, so many emotions
Absolutely unique and new interpretation. She opens new colours to this great work.
Wow! Such complete mastery of dynamics. Astonishingly, otherworldly, emotionally charged. :)

9:27 - 9:36 such a great precise articulation of this part !!
This is an exceptional performance of the Ballade... creative, introspective, nuanced, deep and thrilling in its creative execution. Blessings, Kate!
She's possessed. It's just amazing! THAT is how it's done, folks.
Curious as to why the Artist listed in the info isn't Kate Liu, but rather Ikuyo Nakamichi. ?
OMG, What a magnificent performance. Kate Liu is dedicated to fulfilling everything that is in the music, and she succeeds triumphantly!...
Extraordinary performance !!
Ms Kate Liu, you are absolutely brilliant!
Kate Liu will be a legend. Or, she already is. She has this sparse and yet emotionally intense style that is quite Zen, for lack of a better word.
Don't worry, she is a legend already, for many people.

Beautiful!!!!
Simply ethereal!
I was there! it was fabolous
10:26 y 10:48!!!! silencios y pianissimi de infarto. BRAVO Kate. ¡¡Eso es Chopin!!
She meditates to Chopin whilst playing him.
And Chopin answering to her questionning ....
