This is an amazing performance; there should be a LOT more views! Full of emotional depth, drama, and amazing tonal quality from Mr. Nakamatsu! His story is absolutely amazing, how a high school German language teacher (who was technically an amateur pianist) won the Cliburn and became a superstar overnight!

He’s an inspiration.

From one Cliburn winner to another, thought I was listening to Yunchan Lim
