    The thing that’s so amazing about this isn’t that she can play it, it’s the fact that she plays the entirety of it perfectly, in front of a crowd and Lang Lang.

      Sorry but follow the score. It wasn't perfect but for 13, she's forgiven.

      The most impressive part is actually the phrasing. For any age the voicing and phrasing is astonishing.

  • @PaulWhite743

    Surely one of Liszt's most beautiful works, Un Sospiro is heard at its very best in this supremely inspired performance. The immense stretches, hand crossings and dazzling passagework, which would defeat many a much older pianist, are handled effortlessly and with great smoothness, creating a sea of liquid sound. Congratulations Annie on an outstanding musical achievement !

    Put this on whilst doing my homework and forgot I listening to a young teen playing. Genuinely had the sensitivity and expression of a much older pianist. Incredibly played, I'm 16 and no where near that level. Truly impressive.

    • @louistrudeau767
      @louistrudeau767 3 года назад +1

      Adding on here.... After listening to many renditions of Un Sospiro by various artists on piano as well as harp, I began to imagine that the body of this piece is not the sigh. The body is a daydream or a fond memory or even something more physical ...a kiss possibly or lovers' embracing .. The sigh comes when all that is finished.. right at the end. This interpretation by Annie Zhou helped me hear that at 6:24

    Oh Annie, having watched you play, Chopin two years later, I've just got to say you are a unique, sublime player, with the most impressive "gift" that I've heard in a very long time, what a talent, as well as all the very hard work that you've put in. I would say that Langlang, should be worried, as you could take the world by storm! Bravo, once more.

    It's always a pleasure to see young prodigies excel. Having a very good teacher also makes a big difference to these young gifted learners. Sounded great. I'm sure there are a few more there that can give her a run for the prize.
    Chopin wasn't the only one that wrote beautiful pieces. Liszt wrote some beautiful contemplative pieces....Liebestraum, Consolation, Un Sospiro, etc.

    A genius. Minor technical quibbles aside, the big-picture story she weaves is more convincing than Hamelin, Cziffra, Lang Lang, Trinonov, Cliburn, Richter, (!) and many others I've heard. Every adjustment she made for her hands was so tasteful and every phrase was so unusually balanced. We all could learn something from this one. Just wow! Liszt above is tipping his hat off to you.

    Dear Annie, never cease to amaze your performances ... but what strikes me is your complete devotion to the piano, never trying to pretend false virtuosity or geniality, your interpretation is always respectful of the author and to the message that its author inserted in it, in fact reminds me the piano style from the old German school.
    In one word, beautiful. God bless you.

    What an amazing talent - absolutely out there on top with the very best pianists of today. Not just another romantic virtuoso piece, the way many pianists make it - you interpret it with a melancholy, which develops into despair, the true essence of Liszt - then there is a gentle resignation. The best, Annie, you're the BEST!!

Also it was a fine recording and a wonderful showcase for your talents. Perhaps you will play at the Queen's 70th Jubilee in 2022 when you will surely be an established artist. Brava!

    Annie and Janet, I came back to listen to this great performance by Annie and realized that my original comment is not here anymore, so I would like to comment again on this magical performance!!! This is truly one of the most beautiful Liszt works, wrapped in incredible complexity. Annie's performance at just 13 years of age is nothing short of amazing....astounding really since most adult pianists will never achieve this level of play in their lifetime. The quick crossover work alone is breathtaking. Add to that the intricate and sparkling arpeggios and other complexities and it's truly an amazing feat!! BRAVO and a standing ovation for young Annie :-) ~ Jackie
