When you got talent, you cannot hide it, no matter how hard you tried. And if you are a genius, people will seek you out ! Kate is emotionally matured in her playing, it is oozing out. I wish she’s my daughter

She plays this great last Haydn sonata brilliantly. The 3rd Movement will take your breath away and make you smile. Haydn would have loved this. It absolutely sparkles. ✨ ✨✨

Truly excellent performance of a powerful and sunlit sonata, probably Haydn's greatest piano work, and still one that has to be reckoned with in the 'top 10 piano sonatas' of all time. Outstandingly accurate fingerwork, understanding of the score and the ebb and flow of emotions, clear and spacious environment. Thanks for posting!

Nice! Well executed. I can hear each note clear and distinct The 3rd movement is a joy, great to listen to, and full of excitement. I listened to this piece 3 times straight back-to-back.

14 years old! Amazing, incredible! No one can play Haydn like her.

[@marshallartz395]

@@user-sm7cb1tw3m : You’re right! There are many fine performances of this Haydn masterpiece, from early Horowitz to a late recording by Glenn Gould, but this one by a 14-year-old Kate Liu holds its own with the very best. If you’re a Kate Liu fan and haven’t listened to this yet, you’re missing out on one of her stellar performances. ⭐️🙋🏻‍♀️🎹⭐️

She was only 14 years old when she performed this. Incredible!
