You have to react to his 2nd sonata, it’s so good!!! I recommend seong jin cho

[@QDoppio]

Definitely ❤

[@davidvanmersbergen5335]

The Chopin competition is held every 5 year. There are videos of the past competitors which may be good to watch. There is also Tchaikovsky competition which is every 4 years. I'm used to hearing this with orchestra....

[@leonardodelyrarodrigues3752]

After a thousand years, a new Chopin video

[@Xantares2003]

yeah, also cant wait the reaction 2nd sonata

[@leonardodelyrarodrigues3752]

@@Xantares2003 Opus 35 or 58?Because if it's Opus 35, It has to be Yulliana Avdeeva's interpretation that is the best.

[@Xantares2003]

@@leonardodelyrarodrigues3752 yes, i really like her performance, also i prefer Victor Merzhanov's interpretation, especially final movement

[@leonardodelyrarodrigues3752]

@@Xantares2003 It's funny because people always praise her third movement, but I prefer the first one.

[@Xantares2003]

@@leonardodelyrarodrigues3752 yes, her first movement is perfect imho

[@floring67]

Yes, he won the competition 🙂

[@fasanov123]

He did win! He’s incredible and has had a really amazing career since the competition. His Chopin interpretations are really becoming the ones to listen to.

[@orangewedges]

Love his new CD of Rameau and Ravel pieces! Would love to see him live if he ever comes to my city!

[@fasanov123]

@@orangewedges He’s about to release an album of the chopin etudes. Looking forward to that too!

[@RYUKARYOTE]

I liked Hyuk Lee who performed just before this Liu guy at every stage till final more than any one else. This Liu guy was a student of one of the jury member in that competition at the time.

[@iamsoulsister]

I love Bruce's interpretation but the interpretation that made me fall in love with the piece were Kate Liu's and Eric Lu's performances in the same competition in 2015. Kate's Andante +Eric's Grande Polonaise = BEST Op. 22.

[@barto4686]

As Polish, I feel weird watching you listening to Chopin :)

[@justintimetoclashandbrawl3348]

Pls react Chopin polonaise in e flat too! (Maybe horowitz video… I know you like him! He played it when he was old!)

[@tobiedavis8841]

I think the next competition is in 2025, it happens every 5 years. Cant wait to watch it though.

[@leonardodelyrarodrigues3752]

Yes friend, it's every five years, but you don't have to wait that long, the best competition was in 2010 in my opinion, there's a lot of good stuff to watch that's recorded.

[@kaysonpiano]

Both Seong and Bruce are by far my top favorite Chopin interpreters. I remember being so tired setting my alarms for 3am since that was the only time I could watch the competition but It was so worth it haha @@leonardodelyrarodrigues3752

[@josac7602]

You should check out the polonaise op. 40 no. 2 So underrated. Death and rebirth is the theme

[@Xantares2003]

yes, one of my favourite polonaises. The theme on the bass is something else.

[@עידוכהן-ל6פ]

Please do reaction to shostakovich symphone 7

[@waffleman-]

Yeah +1

[@FirstGentleman1]

You reacted to Chopins own version, for Piano and Orchestra of that Polonaise played by Lang Lang month ago. I like the solo Piano version more.

[@involutionaryking]

What's the intro music 🤣 it's good

[@lednew2010]

I'd still love to see your reactions to Vaughn Williams "A Sea Symphony." Here's a video that's a really terrific performance as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJy1ZHmwf5Z7npY When I have a bad day, listening to this just makes the world right again.

[@SeaHercules]

im so early this time

[@jimschmitz4848]

A true winner.

[@jonathan130]

That dude played the middle part too fast 😢
