I just woke up and did not expect for this video to get the amount of attention it did... Thank you for watching everyone. I enjoyed Yunchan's performance a lot as you can tell. And I truly do believe that he will win the competition after last night's performance. Hence, the title of the video is my prediction hahaha. It's only a matter of hours before we find out! He's only 18 years old and capable of producing such breathtaking tonal qualities. This competition brings in pianists with incredible abilities. However, not many have given me the impression to watch them perform in person. Yunchan did just that for me with his performance of my favorite piano concerto. I could go on for days about how much I enjoyed his playing. And I'm glad to see so many of you all agreeing in the comments hahaha! :D
That's exactly what I thought when I saw him play!!
This massive response is a total recognition of the phenomenon we witnessed last night. A Rach 3 for the ages.
Also you've got a special channel and community here.
@@88_AC @Adam Chefitz You put it perfectly. I think the amount of comments showing support for him is a testament to what he showed to the world last night. And I am humbled to create videos that other people can appreciate too. It means a lot.
Thank you dear Piergiorgio for spreading the enthusiasm and for drawing the attention to Yunchan Lim’s breathtaking performance last night👏
It got attention because you lied. Used a click bait title. Of course you're going to get hits.
I think Cliburn competition made Yunchan famous, and also Yunchan made the competition much more famous ! this competition NEVER had 5 million views !
I’m so glad Yunchan is how I discovered rach 3
Of course he won. I heard one or two of his Transcendental Etudes and knew he was going to win the whole competition and be audience favorite winner. I have listened to many Van Cliburn competitions and never heard such a clear first place winner.
True. Head and shoulders above others
I agree with you.... the Liszt is what set him up to be the winner.... this performance more than solidified it! As having learned one and 1/2 of these Etudes (and NOT the hardest), I just can't imagine playing all 12 in one setting... let alone in a competition format!
I feel Rachimanov was playing through him, and if he was not he would have been proud of his protege's ability to express his Russian soul so beautifully...the poignancy and the passion sweeping all before it. A performance to be played over and over again
this guy is whole on another level of word definition "prodigy" i have seen how 12 year olds playing chopin etudes how 8 and 6 year olds play mozart sonates sooo greatly but for 18 year old person playing rach 3 concerto was the thibg i have never ever even thought about i didn't rlly expected in my life to see anyone playing that at 18 years age
Not just play but he created something extraordinary with that piece.
I think he made us ‘experience Rachmanov’s vision’
Wen Yu-Shen was 16 when he played Rach. 3 of the Queen Elizabeth Comp. in 2003.
Musician and Philosopher. Mastered both worlds. It’s like Beethoven meets Socrates. 🍻
Beautifully put! :)
absolutely the best ever..THE BEST EVER♡♡♡
I love how he confidently declared Lim as the winner before the announcements.
Yunchan lim's Rach 3 is stunning, great, marvelous, renews my interest in classical music. Damn it is gorgeous. Nice video.
He is famous for leading a life a solitude. He doesn't watch media nor have SNS accounts. His whole life is engulfed in music only. Not surprising this is the outcome.
What an incredible performance from one so young. I am still shell shocked. Marin was visibly moved too.
I knew he won when Elizabeth Roe said it was a “once in a lifetime” experience and when Buddy said Lim was miraculous and starts at another place( from the other performers).
I'M GOING TO CARNEGIE TO SEE HIM WITH LONDON PHILHARMONIC. MARCH 2025. CAN'T WAIT. I'M A PIANIST BUT NOTHING LIKE HIM. HE IS A REAL GIFT! MAGNIFICENT! I THINK HE WILL INHEIRIT THE CROWN NOW WORN BY LANG LANG.
I had the great good fortune to see him perform Rach 3 for his NY Philharmonic debut with James Gaffigan last week. Extraordinary! And he took the 3rd movement EVEN FASTER!!! NYC audiences rock and are loud, enthusiastic, and appreciative. After two encores and about five long bows he came out from backstage and was crying. After a quick bow, he went over to the concertmaster and asked her to walk off stage with him, effectively ending the concert. Very touching end to an historical moment in classical music.
Yunchan was crying ??🥹
@@Marie-ChristineCoupillaud Yes, I hadn't heard that, but it seems plausible. In addition to his incredible great artistry, he's still a human being. He has emotions. I'm glad to see him have the release of crying, laughing or whatever he needs to do to stay brilliant and happy.💓
Yunchan’s performance was the greatest moment in conductor Marin Alsop’s career.
That is truly right!
She looked overwhelmed during his incredible performce!
When conducting our Queen Elisabeth Competition, Marin Alsop also was TOP
I think so.
omg?????
Yes indeed she is.
Remember that Marin alsop is the one who pick the final winner in the competition.
She also enjoy the directing the orchestra & Yunchan.
Clear gold medalist, even the announcers couldn't hide their shock
Yeah, when the announcers start using words like "miraculous" and "stratospheric," I think that's pretty much a wrap.
I particularly liked how Yunchan paid attention to the conductor and the orchestra rather than performing on his own, which led to a wholesome performance. He is not only talented but also very humble. He wasn't trying to show off to win the competition. Rather, he wanted to deliver the soul and inspiration of the composers centruries apart as best as he could, to the audience.
Totally!
no ego, nothing cheap, just dedication to music itself, harmony with orchestra. 18 years old. jesus christ.
Right, like he just comes off as someone who really loves the music and wants to share that with everyone. Just so happens that he has made himself a global star prodigy at 18 in doing so.
Exactly! That's the most amazing detail. It's my perception too!😊
전세계클래식 음악역사를 장식할
천재 피아니스트가 등장했네요 !
Alsop wasn't the only one tearing up after this performance. Simply breathtaking.
라흐마니노프의 영혼이
건반을 두드린 느낌.
진짜 황홀함. 앞으로
수없이 이 연주를 많이 들을것같음
You were right when you said "this is why I love classical music". I share your sentiment. This performance is exceptional.
He's 18~~ He's 18. Same here !!
Why so many south Korean artist are so talented !!! So jealous....
I love your enthusiasm and emotion for Yunchan's brilliance. I'm right there with you, Piergiorgio!💓
Oh boy, I’m just a layman of classical music…but his performance made me into tears. What a great performance. Just jaw dropping.
Frankly, I've seen this final scene more than 30 times, and over 30 times I've had tears in my eyes...
me too
Watch Alexander Malofeev's version. He was 17 yo, just as impressive
@@sev3nchannelWatched it and liked it, but for me yunchan's performance is far more delicate yet powerful, full of deep emotions with perfect buildups
So do i
Yunchan played it also at 16 , and it was still more impressive !!!
This has long been my favorite piano concerto. I've heard it by many pianists both live and recorded over the decades. But never, ever have I been so moved by a performance. I had goosebumps from the first movement through the vibrant finale. Such nuance! Such power! Such an emotional range! And when he finished, I actually cheered and had tears in my eyes. That has never happened to me in my long life. It was a sensational performance by a very young man with a remarkable career ahead of him.
After many times of hearing this.. I got tears...
definitely its sooooo great performance... i could also tell u one my favorite performance by khatia buniatidhvili i think she is more sticked with orchestra and helps them make music in harmony together than another pianists
Cómo se llama el director tan exelente ❤️🇮🇷🥇?
I honestly don't care how the competition turns out at this point. Lim has more than amply proved his superb qualities in these videos for the whole world to see. Great though his Rachmaninov was as well as the stunning Liszt recital, it was really the Mozart concerto that completely won me over. Those who haven't heard/seen it, it's really quite exciting and joyous. Don't miss it.
다른 연주자들 음악들으며 다시 듣기하고 있는데 그 누구도 범접할 수 없어요. 정말 왜 천재라고 하는지 알 것 같음.
임윤찬의 소망이 아무도 없는 숲에 들어가 피아노만 치는거란다
진짜 욕심없는 진정한 피아니스트
Here I am again, listening and weeping and getting those 'chills' again. Anciently, those electrical chills/goose bumps were called "horripilations." These horripilations were thought of as the soul's way of recognizing (confirming) the fact that one is in the presence of something extraordinary that was happening. In Indian these chills were called having a "samadhi" or experience of ecstasy. Being a direct experience of the Truth its self (above names or forms). Blessings on all you love. moi
이렇게 클래식을 리액션 하는 영상은 처음봅니다. 클래식에 대한 지식이 없는 제가 봐도 대단한 연주라는 느낌이. 특히 지휘자분을 감동한 모습보고 나이도 어린 분이 정말 대단한 일을 해냈다는 것을 알았습니다.
I've heard this piece so many times.. its my favorite..but this one by Yuchan was so special.. He not only mastered the HUGE technical parts but the depth of his expression..and those tempos!! especially in the third Movement... OMG.. flawless and unforgettable.. but not only this performance, all of his recitals and the Mozart were sooo damn good.. I hope he takes the gold.. I'm still trying to process his concert last night..
Absolutely the highest level in each aspect of his expression.l
yes wow and wow again...unbelievable...I'm so grateful to see this.....thank you!
Hats off ladies and gentlemen; a genius.
지휘자가 우는거 처음 봤네. 와~~ 감동이다.
he is truly unbelievable.
기교를 쓰지않으면서 애절함과 절제를 통한 아름다운 밑그림으로 감동을 밀어넣는 절대 기교. 이건 이미 죽은 음악천재 아니고는 실현 불가능한 기술이다. 윤찬이가 변하지만 않는다면 대한민국의 클랙식 음악의 한획을 분명히 그을꺼다
세계의 획
What a statement!
2:30...I had the exact same reaction...I've listened to countless interpretations and never heard that...his performance was epic and so happy I got to experience it live.
I can't believe I finally come to cry listening to classic music!!! Unbelievable!
Wow! What a kid! What an orchestra! The conductor. Everyone was of highest level. Amazing. Moved me to tears.
I cried with joy at this
난 3악장부터는 거의 울면서 감상했습니다.너무 아름답고 감동이 있는 연주였어요.ㅠㅠ
새로운 거장의 탄생을 격하게 환영 합니다
윤찬님 늘 행복한 피아니스트 되시길 바랍니다
Genius …This maturity, technical perfection and sensibility. Born with a piano…thanks for this wonderful moment ♥️
연주가 너무 아름다워서
울었습니다.
His music made me realize how to live life the fullest way. My entire spirit was shaken and awakened by his existence and music. Thank you Lord!
How do you even BEGIN to memorize all of that music!! 😮 That was absoluley magical . He is beyond amazing❤
Yunchan said he took 7days to memorize each movement of Rach 3. So at that level, he should be able to memorize Chopin Ballade #1 in a day or two.
I have goosebumps too, and my heart will burst.
I was in the hall when Horowitz played this in Ann Arbor in 1978...this was almost as exciting. I had goosebumps and tears too!
Horowitz in Hill auditorium! I can only imagine how vivid it must have sounded.
And he’s only 18…
@@HugoWolf71 In the subsequent 45 years of concert going, it's still the most thrilling I've attended.
Lucky you. I was a student in Ann Arbor and remember wishing I could afford to see Horowitz performing. I did enjoy annual performances of Handel's Messiah at Hill around Thanksgiving. Much cheaper tickets.
@@kenpark840 I wasn't a student, but my best friend was, at the School of Music and he got me a standing room ticket with the understanding that I'd stand on the right side; all the piano majors stood on the left so they could see his hands. Even though we were literally in the rafters, and I can't recall how much tickets were, I was extremely appreciative!
지휘자님 어린 연주자에 경의로운 마음인듯 두손 모으고 피아노에 기대 전율의 감정을 진정시키는것 같다.
심지어 들어갈때 먼저가라고 팔 뻗네.
나이는 어려도 천재 음악가의 탄생을 진심 감탄한듯
정확하게 보셨네요!!!! 저로 바로 똑같은 생각이 들었습니다!!!!
chills... so many chills
I also want to 👏 👏👏 the conductor as well as Lim . As you know , it's great to lead an orchestra with the same breathing and inspiration as a conductor . They were all great and so was the audience who responded to it. Isn’t it?
yes yes yes~
Yuchan Lim of South Korea when I first recognized him he played the 12 Liszt Transcendental Etudes phenomenally, Many people anticipated him as the winner. Let us wait and see. Juries are full of surprises.
If he don’t win, it’ll be the biggest upset in the history of the Cliburn!
@@annettefallon1652 Yuchan is indeed phenomenal and I certainly hope that he gets his due. I listened to the Mazeppa 4 of the Liszt Transcendental Etudes and it was the ultimate. Why are there so many unusually good pianists coming out of South Korea like H J Lim and Seong Jin Cho - 2015 Chopin winner?
@@annettefallon1652 You got your wish.
I was a mess after watching this. Tears streaming down my face. I have not been moved this much since Cliburn himself. He is truly gifted beyond belief.
Truly genius! And at such a young age!! Good fucking stuff right there.
I was crying too! His performance is totally insane!!
Agree with you totally. His performance was flawless, his technique spectacular, his tempi mind-blowing; I was holding my breath at times. What a future he has.
마지막 5분...정말 울지 않을 수 없어요. 클래식을 전혀 알지 못했던 내가 이렇게 눈물을 흘리다니...믿기지 않습니다
He was so super tonight at Taipei! It’s super stunning ! Best concert ever had
So lucky you got to see him live!!! 🤯🤠🥳🥰
Maybe his secret is.....
He's doing it all not for himself - he's doing it with the dedication of healing others...?.?.?
Thank you for your channel. I've not experienced this before. I could be wrong. But Yunchan went out there and owned this piece. And Marin knew it. The orchestra knew it. The audience was in shock. And I likewise just knew that something had happened. No use trying to analyse or predict. It simply was. The jury has no option neither excuse. A young man for this decade. (And I too have seen Horovitz ( London 1982)!). Phenomena etc.
눈물나게 멋진연주
나는 이렇게 멋진 피아노 연주는 처음 듣는다ㅡ
Have to agree. After watching tonight's three live performances I was so blown away by Lim's Rach 3 that I re-watched it two more times.
Willing to die on this hill.
Dont die!! Stay alive, to hear many more unbelievable recitals by him!! Bravissimo, young Lim!!❤🌹👏👏
Am on my second time listening, and he's even better than the first time through! Best I've ever heard! There aren't enough superlatives (and these observations take away nothing from the Chopin finalists who, too, create another realm of piano music!) 🌹💐❤️
This young man, 18, won the competition. In tear the director as many in the audience and some of us who so it at a long distance but near. .One of a kind Rach´s 3rd.
Thank you for showcasing this one in 100 Million Musical Talent!! I'm as astounded as everyone else!! I've Never heard anyone play this piece with the Poetry, Power, Depth, Nuance, Brilliance, Speed, Accuracy, Articulation, Introspection and Explosive Delivery as this Iconic Performance!!! There is also a vid on You Tube with him playing it when he was 15. Oh my I have to wonder when he learned it??? Yunchan Lim was also my choice for Gold early on. He had something none of the others even came close to. His Beethoven 3rd also is so precise, pure, clean, I'm amazed!!!
100 percent agree.
@@myungkim9254 me three 😊
Agreed! When I heard him play this I thought to myself, this is the winner, flawless, made it look easy, passionate, accurate dynamics. Up there with the absolute best!
彼は本当に天才✨
Amazing performance, I can't believe he's just 18!!
HE JUST WON THE COMPETITION
I love you for loving this! It gives me hope for the world to see a young man go through the same paces in classical music appreciation that I did so many years ago - and which has enriched my life beyond my wildest dreams. WARMEST Kudos to you, Piergiorgio, AND thank you!
❤❤❤❤
This is a very bold statement but I stand by it: I feel like I now know how Richter would’ve played Rach 3. The balance between clarity/poise and drama/tension was indeed Richter-like.
Maybe the best Rach 3 I’ve ever heard. I fell in love with this piece all over again after I thought it’d been done to death.
Your reactions and commentary are awesome! I LOVE your passion for the music!
Yes!
Simply incredible performance. Thanks for sharing this. He is only 18 years old? Unbelievable. Chills, goose bumps, ... that said it all. Standing ovation to this 18-year old South Korean pianist!
how is someone like Yunchan so damn talented??? I wanna learn the piano one day but man this is a masterclass
콩쿠르우승자 많이 봤지만 이런 연준 처음이네요.
My jaw dropped when I first heard his Beethoven Eroica Variations in an earlier round, first time I appreciated that piece. Ever since, at every round, he proved way, way ahead of anyone. I had said all along, that if he hadn't won, something is very wrong. I can listen to his playing all day.
You should check out his Liszt transcendental etudes.
@@latishachaney6592 Did too, I checked everything he did after hearing that Eroica. Ans trust me I will go back to these vids!
It's a great piece. A favourite of Glenn Gould's. And Sokolov is playing it this season too.
He was amazing!
Shockingly, he just won it...
Yes goosebumps. Moved to tears
Maravillosa ejecucion de ese joven coreano con tan solo 18 años... Dios.
Misleading to say competition winner, but I must say that in my almost 65 years that was absolutely the most electrifying Rach 3 I’ve ever heard. Just…OMG.
Yep. Click bait.
Well, now it’s true.
Well... maybe not anymore
@@lily772 lol, you called it!
I'm 75, and must say the same!
Love your passion for the best music there is:classical.
You DID predict the very right thing!! Hooray for the young genius gold medalist!!
Marin Aslop is also a great conductor..works alot in Vienna ...i like her alot too.....very open for young people and new music!
what a fantastic young talent!
매일 듣고 또 들어도 놀랍습니다.
듣는 즐거움이 아니라
소름 감동 희열을 느낍니다.
앞으로도 많은곡 연주 부탁드립니다.
까르가 응원합니다.
사랑합니다.~
Before the finals, Alsop expressed annoyance that she would have 3 Rachmaninoff 3rds to conduct and I told her that I hoped one would give her as much joy as Chailly had during his performance with Martha Argerich. Lim came through and I told her that they have created a performance that rivals the Horowitz/Mehta one from 1978.
What a story. Alsop is the greatest hahaha
Wow I almost saw the tears of joy in her eyes. Thanks Yunchan & Alsop.
Now the result is announced, what did Alsop say about her Rach 3 with Yunchan?
She knew they just found the ultimate winner! The making of a star!
한국인으로서 너무너무 자랑스럽습니다
The best pianist ever
Come on! Yunchan Lim plays with colorless ice cold piano sound! This student Yunchan Lim is the next Zimerman and Kissin both colorless cold sounding! And crazy people claiming they are the greatest! The greatest Really=Emil Gilels Wilhelm Kempff Artur Rubinstein Sviatoslav Richter Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini Radu Lupu! This colorless student Yunchan Lim should study next ,6 years with a good teacher to get better sound!!
@@RaineriHakkarainen😂 weirdo
Emozioni fortissime❤❤
After listening to his Liszt transcendental etudes, I already feel like he will win and A star is born
Meanwhile, having the same age as him, I can’t even play a single piece in his repertoire what the heck am I doing in my life 🥲
Incredible interpretation! Just wow!
ONLY 18..
What did I do when I was 18..
The fire is there. Absolutely stunning! Thanks Lim!
Lim got the Gold Medal! He is well deserved to win the competition!
Благодарю за возможность просмотра этого контента! Да! Исполнение 3 концерта Рахманинова на этом конкурсе стало триумфом знаменитого молодого, гениального пианиста из Южной Кореи!!!Юнчен Лим покорил нас, слушателей, своей искренней самоотдачей любимому делу, блестящей, виртуозной техникой, эмоциональной ярклстью и выразительностью исполнения произведений разных стилей и эпох!!
His host fam (in another post) said he practices from 2 pm to 4 am with a 30 min break for dinner. Wow.
Bravo! Perfecto. Best.
I couldn't agree more, Piergiorgio! Incredibly moving performance!
In my 69 years that is the most impressive performance of Rach-3. He had it all energy, timing, space, unbelievable tempos, beautiful melodic lines. Voicing God! Third time opening unison theme occurred he emphasized the tenor voice, who does that, continual surprises and only 18 SPEECHLESS !!
I am 77 and feel precisely like you!!: speechless!!
Will be the youngest winner,is my prediction! Even if he is not, he will still be MY WINNER!!Thumbs up for you,young man!❤❤🌹🌹🙏🙏👏👏
I agree♥️♥️
I am 74.5 years. After hearing air-checks of the young Horowitz that could not be superceded, Lim has taken the most thrilling of them all, hands down!!!
Could you tell me where that 3rd time opening unison theme occurs?? Thank you so much!!
저도 이 영상을 100번 넘게 듣고 있어요
그냥 듣고 있는데도 제 고요한 마음을 흔들며 눈물이 납니다... 너무 멋진 임윤찬군~^^
