Claire Huangci - Sonata in B flat minor Op. 35 (third stage, 2010)

[@iansdigby]

Congratulations on a great performance with clarity. I really enjoyed it. Strange how a performance is a two way thing Sometimes we just want the performer to play a piece perfectly and properly without putting too much of themselves into it. The listener can give it their own spiritual input. Claire Huangci did this, for me at least, so thank you.

I Love This Sonata! Specially the first movement! Claire did it! This is a talented rendition on Chopin! BRAVO CLAIRE!!!

[@bubba5273]

Alive and sparkling with so many nuances.. the way she translates her Chopin Sonata onto the piano is virtuosic and full of unexplainable artistry..

[@barrystoodley3841]

This is exquisite ❤. Thank you, Claire.

[@dannyseymour3226]

The transition starting at 23:00 is just WOW!!!!!

[@dannyseymour3226]

I am officially a fan of Claire Huangci... she plays with so much attention to nuance. Amazing.

I love her playing to. Sad she didn’t pass the third stage.

I've loved CLAIRE'S PLAYING for SEVERAL YEARS -- EVER SINCE I HEARD HER FRANKLY DEFINITIVE LIVE PERFORMANCE of the PROKOFIEFF TOCCATA, which made it sound like vibrant MUSIC instead of th usual Bad Day at the Boilerworks. I can't understand why this remarkable virtuoso has not won a FIRST PRIZE at thi com/petition. I adore Seong Jin Cho, whose playing is sublime, but I like Clarie Hungsci's Bb-Minor sonata even BETTER. the ONLY thing working against Ms Hiangsci is that YAMAHA. Compared to Mr. Cho's magnificent Steinway, this Yamaha sounds downright TWANGY and even SNARLY. This is NOT Claire's fault. It is the INSTRUMENT. Her PLAYING is absolutely SUPERB. No one will ever hear this sonata played any better, and rarely as well. I've played it, myself, and played it very well, but could never approach the quality of polished virtuosity, clarity and absolute control achieved by Mr. Cho, Ms. Huangsci and also Ms Kobayashi. but then neither could Horowitz, Rubinstein, or Novaes even in their best years. Piano playing per se has reached greater heights today than ever before in his history. I doubt even Chopin, himself, our play his works as well as these young contestants.

@Konstantin Ridaya completely agree with you. the winner of the 2010 competition does not have as accurate a sonata as Claire's. the attention to nuance in this pianist's performances are much better, to tell the truth. In studies, sometimes in Mazurkas, Trifonov has abrupt and choppy endings in his phrasing, which in my opinion makes him clumsy. I do not understand that having played two sonatas in the third stage, also well interpreted, Claire did not pass.

danke

[@GDT908]

Le dernier mouvement est particulièrement réussi.

[@Garensonic]

Chopin actually intended for the repeat to go back to the Grave and not to the Doppio movimento section

도저히 다 못들어주겠다..

[@ryan-mu3lu]

도데체 왜 못들어주겠다는지..진짜 한심하네;; 저렇게 열심히 연주하고 음악도 잘살리는데 ㅉㅉ...

[@anonymous-wd6vj]

본인 귀 수준이 어느 정도인지 셀프 박제하는 댓글인 듯 하네요. ㅋㅋㅋ

[@meetrieum]

zz 저렇게 속옷차림으로 연주하면 점수에 보탬이 되나..야한것도 경쟁력이니..그나 저나 오바액션이 심한데 비해 연주는 매우매우 힘이 많이들어가서 웬지 박자를 놓치는감이있다.저여자는 힘을 빼고 연주하는게 시급해보인다..멜로디가 물흘러가듯하지않고 역시 수상자들에비해 기량차이가 많이난다..

[@kya0540]

meetrieum 그도 그럴게.. 쇼팽곡을 치기에는 손가락이 너무 짧음. 그럼 당연히 건반이 감당이 안되고 실수를 많이 낼 수밖에 없지

[@ryan-mu3lu]

meetrieum 님은 저무대에서 저렇게 완성도 있게 연주할수있을까요?

[@anonymous-wd6vj]

허허허 단적인 예로 유자왕은 저거보다 더한 옷차림으로도 무대에 서는데 옷차림으로 까는거 보면 당신 나이 좀 먹은 아줌마죠? 그렇죠 예뻐보이니 질투가 날 수 밖에...ㅋㅋㅋ 쇼팽 콩쿨이 외모로 승부보는 대회입니까? 생각하는 수준이 참 어떻게 그리 딱 본인 눈높이정도까지인지. 지극히 개인적인 의견으로 난 파이널리스트들 결승전 아무리 돌려봐도 다닐 트리포노프 정도가 낫고 2010 콩쿨에선 이 사람이 제일 돋보였음 콩쿨 말고 다른 영상들을 봐도 정말 훌륭하고 우수한 기량을 가진 사람으로 생각했고 왜 파이널리스트까지 못올라갔는지 의문이 드는데 음악 좀 들었다고(혹은 전공했다고) 그저 겉으로 보이는 걸로만 판단하는 방구석 평론가 클라스 오져버립니다
