Bruce was 19 when he competed in the 2017 Arthur Rubinstein Piano Master Competition. He was clearly technically talented but perhaps a little raw in his musical maturity. It's incredible how much he has grown as a musician and pianist in the last four years. With his 1st prize win at the 2021 International Chopin Piano Competition, Bruce Liu is without doubt one of the most musically dynamic and technically gifted pianists of his generation. He also has a lot of charisma at the piano, a rare quality even among well-known concert pianists.

Bruce plays with delicate elegance and brio as befits Beethoven. Few pianists today can achieve such amazing artistry. BRAVO!

Very exciting performance. Draws one into enjoying the music. Not necessary to comment on the technicality which is excellent. Bravo

[@quaver1239]

Agreed!

I couldn't agree more, YC WONG of KL Malaysia (?).

"Draws one into enjoying the music". Very well said.

Escuchar sus interpretaciones Mr Bruce cambia la percepción del ambiente en algo más bello y elevado. Es un gusto, un privilegio incomparable. Gracias!!!

[@adriennebeecker5000]

Bruce Liu chose to play Beethoven’s Sixth concerto and Bruce Liu’s musical GENIUS shone through both technically and artistically. This young man connects with his audience as soon as he sits down at the piano. What a bright future for a young man from a very young country! Magnificent!

[@MrInterestingthings]

no6 is actually the piano arrangement of the violin concerto - this is no.2 in the catalogue .

Bruce is the bright future of classical piano. He has a fresh musical approach to Beethoven, Chopin and Prokofiev. He also have the most impeccable technique. I’m hoping he’ll record the Emperor, the Beethoven sonatas, and the Rach3.

[@valfriesen4861]

@schachfieber Not exaggerated at all, just a different take on the word from your narrow consideration.

[@ouon1507]

He is now a great Maestro. He deserves the highest laurels. Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏🎶

Unfortunately your wish and mine didn’t come true for this competition! But Bruce Liu has been set up for a better reward, he did ultimately win the first prize of the prestigious Chopin 2021 competition!👏👏👏🙏

One more rigged competition results in the making, this LIU is, was, and remains the outstanding musician

Thanks. But it's really stupid to insert mindless ads in between this piece of great music.

You´ll have the alternative to change to youtube "PREMIUM" (via GOOGLE) to avoid that!

Liu gra z czułością nawiązując do naszej noblistki Olgi Tokarczuk dlatego kocham jego grę

[@MariaMaria-oo3kj]

What 2 and not 5 ? It's my favourite.

[@wolfgangklofat594]

Will you forget the other four piano concertos by the composer? Would be crazy...!

[@fritzullrich]

Who are orchestra and conductor?

[@clairesevin7114]

Mozart n’est pas loin 😉

[@rainerlanglotz3134]

Beethoven wrote about this concert to his editor: °not one of my best°. Liu made a mistake to choose this concert, which cannot compete with the great Mozart-concertos, played by the other finalists or even with Beethovens op. 15. It is difficult to do Justice to a performer if the music is not first rate.

[@pianistac121]

Rainer Langlotz I

[@MrInterestingthings]

So you read his letters .We all should - but this is one of the early (1787-1795) 19thcenturys finest works. It's his first concerto and I enjoy it more than the 2nd in CM actually finished later-the so called no.1 Ive never seen this letter .This is my fave of the first 3 .The cminor has never been my facorite though its important for many reasons ! Anyone who hears no.2 knows it is fine music and I'd rather hear it than no.19 or 20 for the ten thousand time or no.9 which I played with my highschool orchestra . Ihope to hear Liu in some of the later Mozart concerti,23,24,25,27.No.26 has a lot going against it. I can't believe a musician could say the Bb is not the highest composition! Pooh on you ,

[@quaver1239]

Sorry, Rainer Langlotz, but you have written utter nonsense. Beethoven was being severely self-critical, as is any artist worth his salt. Objectively this is a generously clever and witty concerto which has stood the test of time. Also, Bruce Liu played it brilliantly, wittily and imaginatively. A great performance of great music.

[@markdenemark7298]

Was wäre Deutschland ohne ihren Klugscheißer?😁

[@makaan699]

Not Beethoven's best is still good enough. Mozart wrote a ton of concertos and most of them aren't even as interesting as this one.

[@sunnyy...]

His playing from earlier years sounds empty tbh Even now for example his rachmaninoff its missing depth.. or the hunt sonata
