This is the third time I've listened to Kat play this Scherzo. (I studied this piece many many years ago) I've never heard anything so perceptive as Kate's performance. She absolutely addresses every aspect of this wonderful masterpiece! Bravo, Kate a thousand times!!
You can literally hear EVERY single note she plays. Not a sound wasted. Every note serves a purpose. Absolutely amazing. Never in my life have I praised a pianist as much as this. Bravo.
Is it just me, or does anyone else get chills during last couple of measures? Chopin usually finishes these masterworks of his with a set of chords, but this time... it keeps going, with a special octave ending to match the style of the composition. What a pleasure listening to this recording!!!
Usually one feels a little disappointed on re-listening one's favourite players, especially when emotions subside after the Competition. Kate is an exception. I am not saying she is perfect, but her playing in stages I.II. III brought to life a Chopin I have been waiting for for years.
@@myketlg : Nah: Too much cost with nothing at the end of the road in the classical piano music business. They hire freaks -- They don't sniff you unless you are a super genius.
@@DelsinM: I'm not sure about that. We don't know who is better than whom regarding different styles. Ironically, music can end up in a schismatic situation, as division arises between music and culture, especially in the U.S., where one is usually holed up in their communities of ilk and bottom-barreled brothers bemused regarding the attempt at diversity.
A GREAT performance! One of the best of the many hundreds I've heard of this magnificent old warhorse. Rivals the greatest on record from the important artists from the past. This young woman is SUBLIMELY gifted.
She is the very rare person who knows the real music balance, and how to bring her elegant interpret to audience. She designs every phrase which always shaping and have long visions for whole piece. Everytime saw her videos I always feel thrilled. Fantastic !
I listened to rubinstein, horrowitz, trifonov, kobayashi, argerich, and many more, but I'm just in love with kate, no performer touches the keys so softly as she does specially in this chopin piece, maybe it's the yamaha instrument mayby it's a matter of taste and opinion, but I vote kate for president :-) the emotion she plays with is so real, brilliant !
It's remarkable the utter absence of tension Kate has, no matter what she is playing :) It's such a pleasure and instructive to watch. Her sound is always free and full, not harsh as many "modern" pianists
Argerich is far better in this than her . I've listened to them all and know the piece. Inside out. Not saying other pianists aren't better in other works but argerich is special in this work
5:37, wow! This section is so deep and I feel as though I am sitting in a room with Chopin and he is going through a whole bunch of different passages only to land on this on and the result was 100% worth it. It’s so intimate and floaty, so clouded and shrouded... so beautiful.
I have on record all of Chopin's music performed by famous pianists. However, my greatest wish would be to have the complete Chopin's opus performed by Kate Liu.
Wow. This performance is the best I've ever heard. She plays from her soul especially around 5:40. I can't expect that she can make such a deep sound!!!! Anyway, show is the best performer in Chopin scherzo 3 op.39.
She will undoubtedly have the first prize in 2021 competition. While everyone has their own opinion of chopin and pianist, I respect that. However, Seong Jim Cho was undoubtedly the winner of the competition. He was on another level. But Kate will absolutely won the competition if she was in 2021 competition. She was fantastic, such a fascinating performance!
she is such a big inspo, sometimes i get in my head because my hands can’t reach some of the chords but seeing her playing them makes me feel like i can too! ty kate!
Its a pleasure to look at her, playing. It seems so enjoyable to her; I also like that she uses a Yamaha, the sound is so much vibrant compare to a steinway. Thank you Kate de mon coeur.
Let's hear the applause after such a monumental performance as this. The audience reaction is important... Please avoid cutting off the tape immediately after it's over. The applause is part of the entire performance.
+Haizen Paige this was in the middle of her second stage performance, so there was no applause. her last performance of this stage was andante spianato et grande polonaise brillante, you can hear applause after that performance :)
Bravo, can there be any performance greater than this one, c'mon Signor Pollini(23.2.2016 RFH London, Kate) just like dolphins or of course yes I know mules.

kylelandry the whole coda gives me chills really, one of my favorites bits of music from one of my favorite pieces ever
named!!
Hi Kyle 😊
You want chills in that last segment? Watch pogorelich's
oh no ... this is not "just you"
One of the best performances of this scherzo on RUclips. Superb
The best is the traum's performance imo
@@Thoys-dh7zm imo, Trifonov
Chopin to najpiękniejsza spuścizna dla ludzkości.
Along with Kate's amazing technical virtuosity is her phrasing: Absolutely unique!
Usually one feels a little disappointed on re-listening one's favourite players, especially when emotions subside after the Competition. Kate is an exception. I am not saying she is perfect, but her playing in stages I.II. III brought to life a Chopin I have been waiting for for years.
same feelings
I need to stop myself from wanting to learn every piece after listening to her lol
Nah mate, take inspiration to play like her💪🏻
I believe, with all my heart, that you can learn whichever piece you want, if you're willing to give it your everything.

@@eddyvideostar Uh...the point is music, not business

Fantastic performance. She "gets" everything! Wow!!
Breathtaking. The depth and sense of overwhelming nostalgia from 5:30 really are unique. Brava
+aggg17 agreed and I can't believe I"ll miss her performance "live" today
as good as Sodolov?
Her playing is soul-binding.
Sincerely,
your fan who has been raving about your playing ever since the competition livestream in 2015
A GREAT performance! One of the best of the many hundreds I've heard of this magnificent old warhorse. Rivals the greatest on record from the important artists from the past. This young woman is SUBLIMELY gifted.

+Hyramess Hiramess I agree with this.
I personally prefer it a bit more aggressively played, but she surely is gifted.
She is the very rare person who knows the real music balance, and how to bring her elegant interpret to audience. She designs every phrase which always shaping and have long visions for whole piece. Everytime saw her videos I always feel thrilled. Fantastic !

She has wonderfully skilled key control, consequently she is able to produce a wide range of dynamics.
I think Rubinstein just is incomparable to this pianist...
You guys clearly havent seen Pogorelich's take on this piece
It's remarkable the utter absence of tension Kate has, no matter what she is playing :) It's such a pleasure and instructive to watch. Her sound is always free and full, not harsh as many "modern" pianists
Argerich is far better in this than her . I've listened to them all and know the piece. Inside out. Not saying other pianists aren't better in other works but argerich is special in this work
Amazing performance!!! She should have won the international Chopin Piano Competition!!!! Love her style!!!
Played with brilliant passion. She's a great talent.
what questions?
5:37, wow! This section is so deep and I feel as though I am sitting in a room with Chopin and he is going through a whole bunch of different passages only to land on this on and the result was 100% worth it. It’s so intimate and floaty, so clouded and shrouded... so beautiful.
このショパンコンクールで他の方の同じ曲、聴いてみた。
この方、華奢なのにダイナミックかつ優しく、リズム感も素晴らしい。他の曲でもそうだが、さすが3位入賞だけあるなと思う。
Chopin would be very pleased 👏🏼.
Composer was a genius so is the pianist. Amazing!
She is amazing. She plays so maturely and professionally, I think I got a new role model now.
What a genius. She should have won the competition that year. So pure, honest, beautiful, divine... ♥️❤️💪🍀🎊🎉

@razbojnik66 was looking for this comment. Pogorelich is still king if the crop on this piece.
@@jponz85 Yundi li? Well to be fair I haven't heard pogorelich
@@lczq6737 well, it's controversial but I think his competition piece on this was sensational.
@@jponz85 argerich is best pog is too unorthodox
Kate is not only a fountain of lofty música, but above all a Human expresión of all the treasures which are inside a beautiful Human body
Kate Liu is marvelous. Magnificent performance of this scherzo. Thank you for posting and sharing her interpretation.
That singing line she produces in the chorale section is unparalleled.
I was going to comment just that!!! It sounds like an organ, it's amazing
I am in love with her interpretation, golden standard you right @modern caleb
She is undoubtedly the first prize in my heart. She plays from heart.
She will undoubtedly have the first prize in 2021 competition. While everyone has their own opinion of chopin and pianist, I respect that. However, Seong Jim Cho was undoubtedly the winner of the competition. He was on another level. But Kate will absolutely won the competition if she was in 2021 competition.

@@soakwnslcjdndoc3542 wrong
음들이 하나하나 영롱하게 빛나는거 같다
맨 첫 패시지 부분을 어떻게 저리 깔끔하게 칠까ㅋㅋ 7:06 왼손 반음계 초점있게 소리 나는거 너무 좋고.. 7:08 왼손 포르테로 강하게 처리하는 해석 진짜 내 취향임.. 왼오 밸런스도 진짜 잘 맞추네 확실히 15년도 쇼콩엔 괴물들 많았음ㅋㅋ
Straordinaria l'esecuzione ed eccellente la pianista.
she is such a big inspo, sometimes i get in my head because my hands can’t reach some of the chords but seeing her playing them makes me feel like i can too! ty kate!
Kate Liu: such a beautifull piano player, I adore her
l'm agree
Even after the 2020 (2021) Chopin Competition, this is still my favorite version :)
The gold standard of this scherzo
Its a pleasure to look at her, playing. It seems so enjoyable to her; I also like that she uses a Yamaha, the sound is so much vibrant compare to a steinway. Thank you Kate de mon coeur.
Absolutely tremendous inspiring performance .. BRAVO! BRAVO!
The range of emotions in this performance is amazing.
i love the last part. it's breathtaking. bravo kate liu!
wow, a musician in a competition!!
Ph W lol
Kate is incredible
What a piece and what a performer. Can't stop listening ❤
that's it, with taste, intelligence, passion, fire and beautiful sound
a naturally beautiful style of playing
These are just the pieces that were written down, I can’t begin to imagine what was going on in chopins mind
World Championship! So far, I do not understand why people from abroad feel better the spirit of "Polish" Chopin!
What an extraordinary performance! Definitely my favorite.

+Haizen Paige this was in the middle of her second stage performance, so there was no applause. her last performance of this stage was andante spianato et grande polonaise brillante, you can hear applause after that performance :)
Yes, audience not allowed to applaud until after last piece in program.
We love your performance.
How clear the sound is!!!!!!
I could here the resonance of each note damn clear
すごく魅力があるピアニスト
Someone said lets there be something so creative, emotional and technically precise and then put her in front of a piano. Yep. Fan.
how she looks I knew its gonna be a great performance
from the first note she plays with great umderstanding
Damn, she's really good! One of my favourites so far!
Amazing interpretation. Thank you Kate.
Very expressive and delicate, I loved it! ❤️
from around 5:30 to the very end there is just pure bliss
+Yuyin Zhou I totally agreed. It reaches deep in my soul from 5:30. The best Scherzo no. 3.
ဖူးကား
I prefer this over Cho's performance of the overplayed Scherzo No 2.
That is one hell of an interpretation, that crescendo in the end gave the chills
Dziewczyno!!!! jesteś the best!!!mimo ,że JAponka to oddaje całą słowianskość!!! piękne
We love you, Kate
I like her strong sounds. and It is great interpretation
with her Chopin is living now, as if cherry blossom is falling down...
Cómo le habría gustado a Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin escuchar su música interpretada por esta jovencita.
Que d'émotions "admiratives" dans cette approche en multiples lumières ! De la musique comprise comme une éclosion permanente. Merci !
OMG! OMG! OMG! Absolutely B R I L L I A N T!! You have brought out my soul and lifted it! BRAVA!
7:09
I love the octaves at the left hand🥺❤️
She is a jewel among a plethora of young pretenders!. She out -Wangs Yuga Wang!
素晴らしく将来性のある、ショパニストとお見受け致しました。
She should have won the gold.
Love the CFX piano sound ❤❤
Such a great musician.
The notes are shining like a star.
The piece in this Interpretation is uttermost unrelated to those heard in recordings by pogorelich &Co, absolutly for the best
Oh man this is just perfect...
The best interpretation on youtube!!!
Best leggierissimo runs hands down.
I wrote the same, calling it “PLIN PLIN element”.
agreed
I'm playing this and this the best influence
This is a great performance. As good as any I've heard from any of the big names.
Breathtaking!
Absolutely incredible performance!
I get the feeling they should have applauded, even if it wasnt technically called for or not. Great, inspiring, dramatic!
Tristan it’s not allowed so as not to distract the contestant.
She is my favorite person. She has charm.
제스타일이네요.. 스케르초 특유의 익살스러움과 스케르초 3번 특유 테크닉적인 느낌, 영롱한 음색 등 음음
she is perfect!
Superb!
この方はショパコンに出場した方ですね！コンツェルトの方もお聴き致しましたが、とても感情深く、技術もおありですね!!お上手としか申し上げられません。
今後も期待、応援しております
This is Amazing!
Bravo, can there be any performance greater than this one, c'mon Signor Pollini(23.2.2016 RFH London, Kate) just like dolphins or of course yes I know mules.
WOW! This is one of very few that reals Rosa Tamarkina's ultra-brilliant rendition of this Scherzo __ and may even SURPASS it.
2:08 left hand ❤
Bravissimo! ❤❤❤❤
Where are all the record companies? Are they completely deaf!!!!
5:40 쩐다 ...
I love your scherzo…
No doubt: far more the best!
She smashed it!
Amazing ❤️
Jest najlepsza.
