This is a story that was aired on TV before Sorita had came to study abroad. "Pianist ? Don't dream about that. Our family is working class, so think about earning your living," his father told him. Sorita did not rebel against his father's words and continued to eat the fried chicken her mother made. Then, when Sorita touched gently the only piano he had (eloctoronic, not a grand piano) and said, "This is the only thing that got me this far," her mother smiled warmly and said, "Thankfully, my son doesn't want us to spend a lot of money. He helps us a lot."

@@green.midoree Arigato. I am so touched when reading this. His strong belief in music and perfectionism have brought him this far. He is so humble when facing his music and performance and has been grateful for guidance from his teachers. From the bottom of my heart, I wish him the most successful career as world renowned pianist.

@@Lilly-kg6dh I don't think Sorita is from working class, but rather from middle class, but surely not upper middle. His mother hasn't had to work out of home and stayed as a housewife. Actually Sorita's father has been against his son becoming a professional pianist for fear of future insecurity at least until he entered uni. I think i read Sorita got his tuition fee thruout on several scholarships, so his parents had not have to pay lot of money for their son.

Sorita san had to win the big Competition in Japan to persuade his father to allow him study in Musik University in Japan. And he won the top prize.
This man wasn’t there to compete - he was there to create music. Brilliant performance. Chopin would be proud.

Mr. Sorita is absolutely my winner. I listened to the Concerto No. 1 in E minor, Op.11 played by Mr. Bruce Liu and performed by Arthur Rubinstein with New Symphony Orchestra of London under the baton of Stanisław Skrowaczewski (conductor). Mr. Sorita played this concert like Master Rubinstein. Mr. Bruce Liu played it differently, innovative with great artistry, but not in Chopin spirit without understanding the lyricism and "Polish character" of the piece. It is sad that the jury placed the innovation of "Chopin XXI" played by Mr. Bruce Liu over the true classical spirit of "Chopin XIX" performed by Sorita San.

Me too. If you listen carefully, Bruce Liu's playing was rather hesitant at a few areas and he sounded like he had a small memory lapse in the 1st and 2nd movements. The Chopin results reminded me of a competition I attended years ago in China. One finalist had a memory lapse and he skipped about 2 lines of the Dvorak cello concerto, but he still ended up with the 1st prize. Why? Because his teacher was the head jury of the panel of 3 judges. 🙄
Sorita fans, let’s go to 2M views!!! 👍💫👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇🥇 He is the true winner, to my ears and heart!

@@trifonovfan9819 I saw his performance on the Prokofiev Concerto and he seemed to be out of sync in the orchestra and rushed a little bit on the finale of the 3rd movement. Anyway, he is doing great in this competition. I think he's an interesting pianist and seems to have a great personality.
Kyohei Sorita's interview after being granted 2nd prize: He said he wanted to face and understand great composer Chopin in depth once in his life time, and he thought it would be very meaningful investment as a pianist. What amazed me was his attention to detail and effort to perfect it. He researched how the sound would reaches audience in the concert hall, and he invested 2 years to change his body composition balancing fat and muscle to be able to produce the sound he would want his audience to listen to. He also mentioned that he was also paying attention to his branding as Samurai ( his hair style and attire etc.), so it can be one of elements to trigger people’s interest and he can be remembered first then people can discover his name and details later. He eventually moved to Warsaw 4 years ago to truly understand Chopin. He was also conscious about how he is viewed by local audience in Poland, and he happily felt acceptance from the audience in the end. His 6 years worth effort paid out and his dream to perform at the competition came true in the 40 min he was performing at final stage. I was speechless after listening to this interview. I am thankful for Chopin Institute to archive his performance reflecting his 6 years of dedication. Reference Interview link in Japanese -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqObfHh3h62pfdk

@@youngsunyoun6264 I’d appreciate you delete or modify your comments. Chopin competition is not the place to talk about war history and politics. I saw very narrow view / definition of Samurai here, focusing on violence not on the positive side of Samurai image, such as resilience / perseverance/ self discipline / do harder right vs easy wrong/ selfless / fighting against own-self not vs others etc. etc. to name a few. You might be influenced by some exaggerated expression from movies / cartoons but Samurai isn’t about violence and hope you understand about it. It was very clear from his interview he only leveraged Samurai image as one of chances for new fans to discover his talent.

He should receive the award for best concert. This was absolutely stunning performance and one of a kind. Fantastic interpretation with respect of Chopin's soul, but same time very personal, he played it like he exactly knew what he wanted to tell and share. The piano keys were a medium for expressing his soul. He cared with utmost respect for every note of this concert, it was great balanced. My favourite and winner of this competition.

@@juldor93 I think it is more likely that the judges simply prefer the cleaner performances of pianists like Bruce, Yundi, and Seong-jin Cho. That's not to say Sortia did play clean, I just don't think it was his primary focus, which I appreciate. The only performer in recent times that won despite not giving the cleanest performances was Avdeeva, who had some really unique artistry, not unlike Sorita. It's a matter of preferences I think. If you give a very expressive performance like Sorita, half of the judges will love it, but the other half might disagree with the interpretation. In the end, though you may have fewer people that adore your performance, giving a totally clean and straight performance may get you a higher average score. This is my theory at least, we shall see when the scores are released.

To be honest, his rendition is very controversial (though it’s extremely brilliant and convincing to me) and may be offended to conventional jurors. However, that’s the best part of Mr. Sorita, who dares to bring new ideas.
