M.Ravel - Gaspard de la Nuit, M.55 - III.Scarbo

[@Yubin_Lee_Doramelin]

[Translator's comment] Whoa... Finally, he has uploaded the entire set of "Gaspard de la Nuit", and I believe that this series is the insanest one which he rendered so far. I was able to meet him in the middle of May 2021 with some other pianophiles and we decided to go to a small piano practice room. Then, he started to perform the first and the third movement of it, and we literally shocked, even though the piece was not enough on an upright piano. We were astonished because of his dramatic and flawless performance (without hesitancy) - I've never gotten goose bumps so bad before! I don't know whether you guys also got goose bumps while listening to this piece, but personally this is by far the most impressive video that he made. I'm so looking forward to literally get a ticket for Seonyong Hwang's piano solo recital and appreciate his rendering of "Gaspard de la Nuit"!!

@@Bozzigmupp I honestly didn't get what "original" means, but it's clear that I translated Seonyong Hwang's description (written in Korean) into English.

Once again, you made my eyes fall out, Amazing playing! Ravel is also an incredible composer... just wow...

[@lefudj4236]

You are one of the few pianist i listen to whenever you upload. I absolutely love your interpretations of even the hardest pieces with such a simple yet effective content (no flashy things on screen, just your hands) ! I really like the angle of the camera somehow, it differs from the view from above many pianists use, and the sheet music makes it perfect ! I am glad i am subscribed to you, keep going, this is amazing !

Outstanding! I love also how your piano is super responsive. On mine, it's very hard to get those initial repeated D#s clean and consistant, and the sound dulls out pretty quickly if you strike the string too fast before it has time to resettle.
