Wow! Magnificent, Bless him as his future grows. What a gift, what passion. I love his touch on the keys. He sits at the piano as the legendary Pianist Horowitz.

[@eeoo4674]

You are amazing. Słucham z miłością i sercem przepełnionym podziwem. Wspaniała gra i interpretacja!

[@dariuszswinoga2639]

Janek !!! Trzymam kciuki za ciebie !! Suuuper ! Graliśmy kiedyś w Calgary z okazji 60 lat Zw.Kombatantów PL. powodzenia !!

[@ShinkuNoAkane]

Jan, I need to thank you for being such a massive influence in music for me. You are such a fantastic artist, and it inspires me to further delve into the insurmountable beauty of music. Thank you.

[@PhillipLWilcher]

Jan : You commenced so poetically and the passion that followed - bravo! Chills through and through listening to you. Everything is so beautifully measured and well mannered - what a marvelous dynamic range you have - and all in keeping with the phrasing . Beautiful work Jan - just beautiful!

[@Dovahcake1]

The way you play Winter Wind genuinely made me quiver, that was extraordinary at the very least!

[@Suvikuja4A]

I am unable to make a comment on how you play, because all words sound platitudes. You know better than anybody else how well you play and what is lacking in it. You are an enigma and mystery to all who listen to your playing, giving so much joy and solace. Thank you, Jan.

[@paulybarr]

This young man has great talent- of course his interpretations and technique will develop and deepen with maturity. But to be able to play these monstrously difficult studies this well at this age is quite something. Bravo!

[@organmosic]

stunning. stunning. Five * * * * *Stars is not enough to appreciate the video. the "Winter Wind" and the "Ocean"... Thank you, Jan.

[@Bouncybon]

Jan started to play at age 5. Now he is almost a man - certainly no longer a child. But his career as a concert pianist is already a long one. He may well become the greatest pianist of the century.

[@Juliet0307]

I love your playing! And I must say that,with you,your instrument is a forte piano,and not a forte forte,as it is the case with many pianists! So,thank you so much for posting your remarkable work!

[@Demifan38]

So Beautiful! I can't even Comprehend at how amazing this is! you've definently came a long way! keep up the good work! your a phenominal pionist!!

[@HarrisHanAndersen]

Op 25 No 12! Best performance I've ever heard! So much emotion and dynamics and expression~ Great job!

[@flouz2]

Harris Andersen op25 n°11 not? 12 is the amazing (at leat for me) arpeggio etudes

[@johnrawful]

An inspiring young player! He was a great hit in Qualicum Beach last March.

[@AlejandroSanAntonio]

You got it Jan - outstanding!

[@simplyanna35]

Amazing interpretation, congratulations!!

[@PianoRyanTV]

The slower tempo on Ocean Etude sounded very beautiful and romantic. Great job. :) Winter Wind was amazing too, I was just more surprised at the Ocean Etude. :)

[@FerranLopezCarrasquerPianist]

Amazing, Jan!!

[@brittp.g7967]

[@JacquelinePorterBallet]

Cannot wait to hear you in Dallas!!

[@bobb.6783]

[@Clivejvaughan]

That's quite magnificent - thanks, and good luck !

[@thomasramdasvoegeli]

Inspiriert! Inspirierend! Welche Freude!

[@MrMegaPianoMan]

I loved your concert in Seattle at Meany Hall, thank you for playing all the Op. 25 etudes!!

[@Asgoodasgod]

Hopefully he'll stop getting taller or else he won't fit under the piano lol. Phenomenally talented guy!

[@Bouncybon]

Yes, yes - Jan is brilliant. But I never understand why concert pianists perch there little asses on the edge of the piano stool as if they EXPECT to slip off and collapse in a heap on the floor. Why not bring the stool in closer and allow it to support your thighs AND your ass? Wouldn't that feel more secure?

[@mariavelazquezdeangulo1640]

Great interpretation ! Congratulations !.

[@polskapianist]

CONGRATUATIONS AND ALWAYS STAY HUMBLE.

[@tomaszdziamaek1839]

@elkwolf Poland represent too. :P No importand, where do you live. Important, what you feel in your heart. And Jan Lisiecki feel Poland.

[@GrandPiano42]

Great work!

[@skyslideshows]

[@davidmalloch]

Excellent.

[@ellaqiu2510]

Best version heard till td

[@stalkerspredators]

tremendously gifted artistBravo !

[@jangrzegorowski781]

Znam dziadka Jana Lisieckiego, który mieszka w Poznaniu. Wiem od niego, że w rodzinie nie było osób tak uzdolnionych muzycznie. Skąd ten fenomen ? Godne podziwu nie tylko muzyka Jana ale też piękny język polski. Jan Grzegorowski

[@music2win]

amazing, thank U

[@話山水]

Very nice

[@xavierortega742]

Amazing !

[@NachoMusical]

O My God! That was just crazy!

[@Katiuszkasanda]

Un grand talent! Bravo Jan!

[@CONTRER2010]

Congratulation Jan, I like to music classic-

[@NMPLage]

Maravilhoso !!!

[@ngpiano72]

Who's looking for perfection? In Mr. Horowitz's words: "Perfection itself is imperfection."

[@anakindeadwalker]

Ok, i've just fallen in love.

[@users1992]

it's incredible...how old did you start taking piano lessons?

[@alwatsonpianist]

Bardzo piekny!!!!!!

[@tomaszdziamaek1839]

Long live Poland! Long live Jan Lisiecki! I'm proud to be Polish.

[@youresomodest]

Then it's a good thing he has a lifetime to become "perfect." I wish people would understand there is more to music than hitting all the right notes.

[@ChristopheVincentfineart]

genious

[@allexandrepascoalnetopasco1118]

Christophe Vincent

[@jamespavlock9615]

In the Ocean etude, is he playing chords at times at 4:30-5:00? It doesn’t sound or look like the written etude in this section. ?

[@maju9940]

oh Dios! Eres increible!

[@adambaranowski3607]

No. 11 is played perfectly but I can't agree with interpretation of no. 12. I've played it and it's one of my favourite Chopin pieces. In my opinion it should begin with fury and power. Of course piano moments are very important but not at the beginning! Melody notes should be strong and sound like a monks' choral in a dark cathedral. But it's good that you have your own extraordinary interpretation. Greetings :)

[@adambaranowski3607]

***** Of course, gong analogy is also very nice. It's should be powerful like an ocean :) Thnx for Your comment and I wish you good luck in music carrier :)

[@musicxg]

very good interpretation.

[@MrLora69]

przepięknie Pan gra:)

[@ЛюдмилаОвчинникова-г6я]

Прекрасно, Жан. Спасибо тебе.

[@Yvesfrenchtouch]

bravo Jean

Jan, Jean, John, Juan, Janek, Ivan, Giovanni, Joao ... un prénom très universel, comme la musique de Jan !

Jan Lisiecki

[@gabebabe1]

Anyone who thinks this performance is less than remarkable for a kid should keep their inane opinion to themselves

[@berndcordoba9584]

Why did nobody tell me about him? He's fucking amazing!

[@ctp4]

Neither is your spelling! It was superb playing!!

[@salman_chowdhury]

he looks like he's gonna fall off his seat anytime.

[@connorokane]

what a boss

[@Holynicoly]

Calgary represent!

[@quicktechnikk3058]

Ocean Etude TimeCard 3:56 , Im putting it here just in case i come back for it again :p

[@connorokane]

like a boss

[@joyeuxnoel7941]

No 12 is so interesting! rather than portraying the wavy ocean itself, it sounds more like a fisherman struggles while fishing out in the middle of the sea

[@minhkhoiphan9848]

High Strenght, Very good . better than Lisitsa (y)

[@Eliazer]

@patnwat canada represent!

[@patnwat]

Poland represent!

[@constanzachaves7423]

Takeshi

[@Ferda1964]

Canada has another Glenn Gould

[@NahaleGuitar]

Quite* Neither is your grammar. No one can play an exact replica of Chopin's work. NO ONE.

[@itsanog]

The chair is so far away from the piano...

[@MelvinGeremillo]

quite fast than normal i guess

[@Kinjutsuu]

@AngoSkazz yeah it looks like he's about to fall off it :D

[@AlejandroSanAntonio]

I'm jealous....

[@lunchmind]

a brilliant remarkable musician but I can't accept his interpretation of # 12.

[@PiscesSenpai]

+Dana Franchitto Oh well, go away then

[@lunchmind]

you'd like that wouldn't you.

[@PiscesSenpai]

Dana Franchitto Yes

[@brendanwynn]

This performance as a 14 year old is lackluster for you?

[@lunchmind]

yeah.
