Such a magical style he has, it’s impossible for Mr. Liu adequately explain how he arrives at these decisions. He’s so articulate with both his words and his music that we simply have to listen carefully. His wisdom makes itself clear. This is a musician, who broadcasts so much light and passion and thoughtfulness and joy. We are lucky to live in this age with him.

Every performance at the Chopin competition brought me great joy. Thank you for posting this most insightful and inspirational interview. Wishing him much continued success, and I hope to have the pleasure of attending a performance one day.

When I visited, the museum Chopin's home. My Heritage , and listening to you play, seems to make us family! Incessant yearnings, done in love.

The description of 'happy Chopin' is exactly my impression while watching Bruce Liu in the Chopin Competition, I called it 'sunny Chopin' then. I also notice his Chopin is a bit different, notably the pointed, detaché, less legato phrasing in many places. Both these are considered not typical of Chopin. The interview is more of a chat show than a deeper exploration of Bruce Liu's musical thoughts. I thought his favourite colour would be this maple leaf (or is it red China) red, since he is wearing this shirt and he wore it in the Rubinstein competition.

A cool man, not only an excellent pianist. Personal life is his business, maybe he is looking for a soulmate. Thank you for the great interview. Greetings from Warsaw.

Thanks for this great interview that gives us a glimpse of the artist’s personality and thoughts about music making. His sincerity, authenticity and generosity of spirit shone through. So when are you bringing him to Hong Kong?

awesome interview

[@user-kp7ls7ml1h]

ty so much for this interview

[@deechumlew1605]

Bad question about a fav girl... put Bruce in an awkward situation if he is a closeted gay.

[@NorthCascadeshiker]

Except that Bruce himself talked about his attraction to women in interviews shortly after winning. He seemed to clearly present himself as straight. But yes, I agree it's an awkward and almost inappropriate question, especially considering how perfect and insightful the rest of the interview was.
