HAO RAO - third round (18th Chopin Competition, Warsaw)

[@nainoom7847]

He is my favorite...very brave young boy...pls come back again in next 4years...u will be next winner

[@DavidSmith-ki2we]

Definitely agree. He is me n my mom's favorite too.. it's ridiculous that he wasn't in top 3. I watched others in the finals but Rao n lee hyuk were the most passionate, soul touching performance.

[@maximvasilleyvich6060]

Why is everybody sleeping on this guy? His sonata was amazing! I also prefer his interpretation of the polonaise rather than Sorita's or Sumino's, regardless of the mistake.

[@nicholeschmidt8402]

Thank you so much, Hao RAO! All of your music will be my treasure forever!

[@Mizutar]

I love this pianist! Despite his young age he is already one of the greatest.

His performance on Polonaise in A flat major is absolutely amazing. It really hit me deeply. Love it!

I’m sorry, but his polonaise was not the best. However, everything else was great.

Hao Rao!!! Im so happy for you!! I know you were pissed when you made the polonaise skip, but the judges showed that they don't care for machine-like performances at all. A minor slip don't diminish a performance's artistry. So happy!! Congratulations to you and your teacher, ms. Vivian Li! Well- deserved and can't wait to hear your concerto!

I think he should be the winner of the competition, he’s the only one who playing the most like Chopin yet has he’s own personality, such a talent pianist! Surprisingly he’s only 17 years old has such mature performance, bravo for both Hao Rao and he’s teacher Vivian Lee!

I like Hao Rao’s performance. Not only his music is with Chopin soul and also his posture shows his humbleness, sincerity and confidence to the composer and audience. There is No any exaggeration. He is completely matured on many perspectives🤩😍🤩😍

[@DavidSmith-ki2we]

Well said. I was blown away by his final performance n upset that he didn't get into top 5. He is playing with such passion and feeling at only 17 ..I'm sure chopin is smiling down at this gifted boy.

It also looked like there was a good balance between the focus on the music and the emotional connection with the sound.

He is a rare person who has mastered the essence of rubato. In addition, how exciting performance the Polonaise is!

50:49 a surprised huge mistake at this level of competition. He did connect it well though. Most audience won’t notice if they are not familiar with this piece, but not the judges. Hope he could still make it to next round. I could see he is very upset when he was walking down the stairs.

This is art, not math. It shouldn't matter. Music is soul and artists are human. Mistake can happen.

I wish because he is my gold medalist but he skipped like a whole 4-5 measures. I was more panic than he did when I noticed that.

@@jonasao1188 he’s one of my fav too. Something similar happened to Hayato. It was either during the 1st or 2nd round…he missed a few bars in Chopin ballade No.2, but he still made it to the 3rd round…so perhaps Hao Rao has a chance

[@dhruvsawant9234]

@@krzysztofszymczyk7278 that's true. Unfortunately, this is a competition, so everything is considered. That being said, he may still have a chance because his playing was otherwise good. But at the 3rd stage, this will definitely reduce his chances to get into the finals.

His continental energy shows a powerful performance. He will be a good performer if he is more detailed about notes and adjusts the pedal well.
