Masaya Kamei 亀井聖矢 - Semifinal Round Recital 2022 Cliburn Competition

[@Alex-it3ym]

Masaya, if you’re reading this know you absolutely deserved to be in the finals and top medalist and we’re all shocked by the decision. Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re going to have a great career and I’ll certainly be buying tickets to your next concert!

[@sebastronom]

Yes please! I will follow him for sure, such joy and talent. Please come and tour the US!

I can't believe u didn't make it to the finals!!!!

[@유상수-i3m]

Ladies and gentlemen! Please take off your hat. A genius came on the stage.

[@Barpoint212]

I am shocked that Masaya Kamei did not reach the finals. Yes, the Waldstein is a touch soft-grained, but the rest of the recital ranges from excellent to jaw-dropping. The final section of Scarbo is off the charts.

[@Molly-ms9fl]

I just don’t understand how he didn’t make the finals. Doesn’t make sense to me. Masaya, please know that you’re amazing.

[@tachang1507]

Insanely difficult and even more insanely well-played program. I will be following his career for sure, medal or not.

世界中の多くの人が、亀井さんが何故ファイナリストに残らなかったのか疑問に思っているでしょう、私もその一人です。 亀井さんの奏でる音楽で、初めて 「こう言う曲だったのね」と再認識できます。 音楽の翻訳家、伝道師ですね 素晴らしい沢山の🥹感動を有り難うございました。👏👏👏

[@放射能日本]

残念ながら選曲が軽すぎます。 だから胸に迫る打撃感が足りない。 そしてコンクールは機械的な技術だけを評価する場所ではない。 それは専門家がよりよく知っている。 作戦失敗だ。

[@tunnel2067]

カンパネラ、良かったけど、アンコールで弾くような曲かなと思いました。モーツアルトの19番も含めて、全体的に印象が薄い。他のコンテスタントのアピール力が強いので。でも彼の演奏は誠実さを感じますし好印象です。まだ若いので、これからに期待したいですね！

[@放射能日本]

[@放射能日本]

@@miyakoyokoyama8847 あんな抽象的な論評が何を言っているのか、それを正確に理解しなければならないということです。 音楽は喜怒哀楽を歌うことだ。 1+1=2のように1から100まで一つ一つ数えてみないと分からない数学的な分野ではない。 その抽象的な論評が本質的な問題点を伝えていることを知らない人が、音楽を数学のように教えてほしいと言うのも、やはり日本人の特徴のようだ。 音楽は科学や数学のように計算する分野ではない。 何を言っているのか、コッと感じろ。

[@放射能日本]

@@miyakoyokoyama8847 同じ曲も誰が演奏するかによって、またはそれをどのように解釈して接近するかによって観客に伝わる感動は天と地のように変わる。 この演奏者は本当にうまい演奏者だ。 しかし、そのような部分で大きな印象を与えることはできなかった。 ところが、曲も感情が平易な選曲だ。 食べ物で言えば材料の味はそのまま生かしたが、全体的に味が薄すぎるのと似た状況だという話だ。

absolutely outstanding performance , especially Ravel, hope we have a winner...

[@maquina7002]

That Islamey was mindblowing!!

[@ainsimpsonpiano2125]

Ha, nice programming - the piece Ravel wrote to be the hardest in the repertoire … and then the piece previously considered the hardest in the repertoire, inspiring Ravel to push the limits even further with Gaspard

[@alexs1504]

His Ondine is absolutely out of the world, one of the very rare performance of it that makes my spirit go beyond everything in this universe

[@jackcurley1591]

An incredible Ondine! One of the best live performances I’ve heard

[@misatopiano8006]

I’m Japanese and can tell his modest and pure personality from all scenes. He is only 20 just started international career, i think god left him brighter opportunities in the future thanks to juries this time

[@HIPguy]

Unbelievable he didn't advance. I found his poetry to be stronger than any of the other contestants. The best performance of Gaspard I've heard live.

[@ifoundleon]

He just tied for Gold in the Long-Thibaud Competition. Completely agree about his artistry. His interpretations are modern, unique, completely authentic to themselves, yet show complete respect for the compositions. He revels in the music. His articulation is crystalline. And he seems to have a completely uncomplicated relationship with the piano. So many other performers come across as though they are struggling against or trying to control the instrument.

[@binhminh417]

Definitely, Masaya Kamei is worth listening to! I don't like to question the jurors' decisions because they were just their personal opinions, which don't affect how I feel about the semifinalists who were not advanced to the final. However, I sincerely hope their decisions, were NOT influenced by something else... but the competitors' musical merits ONLY.

[@LC-ig2jm]

Everyone is questioning the jurors’ decisions. To avoid the wrong impression, they should show us the score sheets!

[@Billblom]

All selections were incredible. I fought the Waldstein for years, and never ever got with 50 miles of his performance.

Outstanding. An extremely complex programme performed with great mastery by such a young boy. It's a shame he didn't reach the finals, I'm asking what is actually missing in his Waldstein... Maybe it's not American enough

[@ifoundleon]

I think you’re correct. I think the jurors are more impressed with performances that are showy. American culture prefers surface over substance.

[@SCRIABINIST]

I think it's exactly the complexity of the program that might have got him cut. In some ways, it's too technical and despite it being highly musical, are all in some ways too virtuosic

[@rachmaninovatan]

He didn't make it to the final????

[@eggizgud]

What happened to no clapping in between movements? Wouldn't that disrupt the contestants' focus since the piece isn't finished? Timestamp in progress: Beethoven, Movement II: 9:18 Movement III: 12:50 (seamless transition! so softly) Listz: 22:41 Ravel Movement i: 27:56 II: 34:46 (Insane!) III: 40:52 (Sublime again!)
