Saw him last night at Carnegie Hall. His color and shading is impeccable. Especially on those gliding runs. He doesn't make it sound like a bunch of notes. It's just one smooth soaring line.
I think what's remarkable about Bruce's playing is the rhythmic cohesion and pacing - he doesn't get stuck with over-shaping or phrasing - he keeps everything in context and everything has a musical purpose within the whole. Beauty of line and rhythm are perfectly balanced.
He has that wonderful semi-staccato touch that I am obsessed with. Added to that, he has wonderful dynamic contrasts, contrasts in articulation, and well-measured crescendi/ diminuendi. Truly marvelous, such a deserving first-prize winner!
So that contrast of dynamics is very clearly performed in this piece, and even other elaborations in tempo, articulations, movement and facial expression, etc. are one of a kind. Im glad how he phrases every part make the melody become quite easily memorable as it really has its own color.
Was great fun to watch the competition. I thought you would be the winner. But the variety of all the great competitors created awareness of personal attitudes to these pieces that it is impossible to pick just one for a given piece. You certainly deserved the price with these many different musical approaches even in one single piece.
His interpretation of this piece was my favorite of his pieces! As well as the leg dances 7:26 and at other times. He enjoys playing it and it rubs off onto the audience 😊
Brilliant! You’d be hard pressed to find a better interpretation of this piece, in my opinion. Impeccable dynamic control, expression that is just perfect and delicious. Master of the piano.
I think it’s even better than Trifonov’s. Very supple hands with total control. Trifonov tends to go over the edge. This is more consistent across the range.
Just perfect! Innovative, fresh, highly individual and personal and yet with Chopinian character! And I love his finger karate at 01:40. I think there's a little Bruce Lee in him after all...
Easy to see how this guy won the chopin comp" - techinically super crisp & brilliant dynamics ; without the quirky tempos changes & dips 99% of his contemporaries show in their playing Hes head n shoulders above most ....
A wonderful and playful take on this piece. In contrast, I feel Kyohei Sorita's is more sincere, but I enjoy both very much and will likely listen to them for years to come.
Easy to see why he s won over so many ; beatifully played ; technically great - but his interpretation s, for me - are a level above most of his contempories 🙏🙏🙏
Very very beautiful and very good, Bruce. Some sections a little too exaggerated and forced, for my taste, but the general idea is consistent with his way of interpreting. I really hope he has a good career. PS: Anyway, I doubt Chopin played this Artwork like this. (personal idea).
@@marshan1226 I didn't say it's not good, on the contrary. But I don't even dare to say it's the best ever. "Best of all" is a concept I don't agree with. There are many different tastes.

I was there too. 7 encores. What a show that was
What piano did he play there?

He played this perfectly, with complete sensitivity and good dynamic control. Bravo Bruce!
totally agree

Plus these tasteful rubati, they round off his genius :)
No lo confundo nunca.!!!🇦🇷
agreed
Każdy Konkurs jest jakby początkiem wszystkiego. Tymi konkursami można mierzyć wszystko co najpiękniejsze.
Cudowna muzyka genialnego Chopina, boskie wykonanie. Dziękuję.
Wow, after hearing this a few times and comparing references of some maestros, I have to say, this interpretation is phenomenal. On an immense level!
Que Lindo! Beautiful Bruce! Congratulations on winning the competition 👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🏆🏆🏆
2次の最初のこの演奏を聴いて優勝を確信した。テクニックは言うまでもなく、スター性のような雰囲気に、今回はこの人なんだなと感じた。
Sií! Muy bella y certera su intuición.

This the essence of brilliant style!
thank you Bruce Liu this was the best op5 I've ever heard.

speechless, what a good control, amazing...
How delightful 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
simply mesmerizing , astonishing talent
What a wonderful sense of rhythm and rubato!
His interpretation of this piece was my favorite of his pieces! As well as the leg dances 7:26 and at other times. He enjoys playing it and it rubs off onto the audience 😊
It was great . However I liked Miyu Shindo’s crisp version better :)
Bruce dances to his own playing which can be infectious, it made me also want to sway my body, so joyful and nice!😄
@@loveispatient0808 that is indeed one of his many appeals !
@@thestratford51 indeed! Just love the way Bruce plays, so wonderful!
Bravo ,so well done,,ive never heard this piece before, your performwce astonished me ...
Just perfect .. I’m in love with you, Bruce!!❤️
I love his dynamic contrast.
Brilliant! You’d be hard pressed to find a better interpretation of this piece, in my opinion. Impeccable dynamic control, expression that is just perfect and delicious. Master of the piano.
On this particular piece, I unusually prefer Sorita's, but Bruce's is wonderful beyond words!
Of course, Sorita is great to listen to, but I prefer Bruce's interpretations, apart from this piece's one

You should see Bozhanov’s performance of this from 2010.
This is so beautiful it is breathtaking!❤
Very good!! Loving the dynamics and contrast 🤗🎼❤️🌟
Greatest thing I’ve ever heard
remember being captivated by the sound of this rondo when i first heard it ❤️ one of his best performances of the entire competition ❣️
6:28 - 6:52 my favourite part🫠
극락파트….. 미쳐버림… 너무 좋아! 저부분 터치도... 예술!
So fun ! Absolutely beautiful!!
Those trills at 0:49 have got to be the best trills one has heard since Michelangeli!
also trifonovs trills are very amazing
Beautiful and Clean .
何時もLiu氏のピアノの演奏拝聴し、芸術の偉大な力を勉強させていただいております。
Clear and very beautiful performance !
Brilliant Master
Cosummate pianist/artist! Bravo!
Just perfect! Innovative, fresh, highly individual and personal and yet with Chopinian character!
And I love his finger karate at 01:40. I think there's a little Bruce Lee in him after all...

Pan Fryderyk Chopin jest dumą Polski! Cały naród jest z niego dumny! 🇵🇱
이 곡 진짜 너무 쫀득헤🤤👍🏻

Uczta dla zmysłów.
This is indeed the very best interpretation of op. 5 ever recorded!
I personally prefer Sorita's rendition, though it's debatable and I might change my mind sooner or later
Geniusz
I agree for the semi -staccato perfect, intelligence, stunning doigté….pleasure to pkay💕💐🎶🎵🔥
06:28 a bit of Haendel's Passacaglia
2:21 fancy part 💕☺️
Bravo👍👍👍
6:27 Sinatra'w Fly me to the moon 😉

@@frederickfrederikfre No I’m asking genuinely, if you have more recordings which you find better
@@marshan1226 Just different, not better.
@@marshan1226 I liked Hayato's better, my personal opinion. Idil Biret's version was also good
