In the Japanese subtitles, it says "Dang Thai Son was born in Hanoi, Vietnam in 1958. He started learning piano from his mother at the age of 4. He entered the Vietnam National Academy of Music at the age of 7 and studied there for 11 years. During the Vietnam war, he practised on lined-up wooden planks on his bed. In 1977, he entered the Moscow Conservatory of Music. In 1980 he won the 10th Chopin Competition."

As far as I know, he is the first contestant to win the piano concerto No. 2 at the Chopin Competition. When everyone chose Concerto No. 1, he chose No. 2 and even won the championship. It's an amazing skill.

I am so proud of Mr Dang Thai Son - a world class pianist born and grown up in a war torn country of Viet Nam. ❤️ And he is now an accomplished piano coach whose student just won the 1st prize in the 18 Chopin Competition.

[@weiguo528]

Now the torchbearer of Chopin poetic spirit.

[@thanhgiau]

Well, you should not. The pianist himself got no support from Vietnam from the beginning. He was born in Vietnam for sure but it is very unfortunate that he had to walk the path himself without any help from his home country. They only saw him when he won the first prize in this prestigious competition.

[@minhthongtraquang4894]

@@thanhgiau Without any support, how ignorant are you to say so. Please be reminded with the support of whom did he get the scholarship to Russia Conservatory to study and leverage his skills up to this level. It was the right the end of the war, the country was devastated by the war yet he was still able have to such privilege which much proved the profound recognition of Vietnamese government for his merit already.

[@thanhgiau]

@@minhthongtraquang4894 Dude, they did not give him any spirit support neither. He needed money and document from the government. He got none. The war is not the good excuse for that.

[@minhthongtraquang4894]

@@thanhgiau I agree that the bereaucreacy from the gov is something inexcusable. But by looking at the bigger picture, it was not just "the war" at that time but "the WARS". Vietnam in 1980 was in a huge different situation from now, fighting against China, Khmer Rogue and dealling with economic difficulties were indeed a more live or dead matter than a pianist participating a competition, not mentioning communication infrastructures weren't as advance as nowadays.

[@danielharrington4342]

Bác Đặng biểu diễn quá hay bản piano concerto mà người ta thường cho là " không thí sinh nào thắng được bằng giải nhất ". Mặc dù vậy, chất lượng của dàn nhạc đi kèm theo thì rất dở, khiến cho nhưng ngón tay ma thuật của bác Đặng bị phí theo. Có cảm giác nếu như dàn nhạc chơi bớt lỗi thi bản công xéc tô này sẽ rất hay.

Tôi đồng ý với bạn, nhưng nên hiểu thời điểm đó là năm 1980. Tôi đã nghe (qua băng, dics) các nghệ sỹ khác biểu diễn sau này và ở cả thời điểm hiện tại là năm 2023, nghệ sỹ chơi Piano thì có thể kém ông ĐTS, nhưng dàn nhạc và kỹ thuật thu âm thì rất tuyệt vời.

[@amadeushsu1981]

Still wondering how he actually won that most controversial year (and of course competitions are never fair or subjective but that year 1980 was truly special with Argerich could not stand it and simply walked out ...), Mr. Son plays clean and he looks like a very obedient student for sure, but there seems to be lacking of convincing musical character or originality ... and do not get me wrong: no doubt he is a very clean and fast piano player!

[@kaleidoscopio5]

Poor guy. He was the winner but 1980's Chopin Piano Competition is only about Ivo Pogorelich and nobody cared about him 🙄

[@Cubi.Nguyen]

It's a little bit innacurate. After winning the Chopin competition, he deciced he wasn't yet ready to enter the world of a soloist and decided to stay at the Moscow conservatory and finish his studies even though he coul've toured all over the world and become a world class soloist. Once he graduated, several years later, he was forgotten...

[@jasontimmanov3351]

@@Cubi.Nguyen added to that, to his own credit, his Vietnamese citizenship was very difficult to get him visas for touring.
