Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No.2 - Michael Ng - Cambridge University Symphony Orchestra

[@MichaelNgPiano]

I'm back! It's been one of my ambitions to play a concerto with an orchestra. So I was delighted when in June, I won the opportunity to play one with CUSO! So indeed, I'm back! With a concerto performance with one of the top orchestras in Cambridge! My apologies for the long lack of videos - hope it's worth it! Complete with professional microphone piano recording and HD. Enjoy! Thank you so much to the Cambridge University Symphony Orchestra for the spectacular opportunity!

[@patrick760]

Props to you man for playing around 30 minutes and putting up an excellent performance 👍👏

[@flowey1149]

How exactly do you get to perform a piano concerto with orchestra in schools/colleges? Like how do you say "I want to play a concerto with the orchestra"? Is it just by excelling in regular concerts?

[@kvnjng]

Amazing! You are an inspiration to all of us!

[@None-zz1pf]

Can i request the moonlight sonata 3rd movement again?? Pls

[@marcusscaff00]

ive just come across u ive commented on the Beethoven 3rd movement how i come across u i never realised it was ten years ago it was amazing how at 10 you were reading the music flipping the pages and playing perfectly i thought by now ten years later u should have played in many concertos even with andre rieu have u wrote any of your own songs?

[@jackthecommenter2768]

Wow i just clicked on your channel after watching your Moonlight Sonata pt.3 video and i gotta say, you have improved so much, im so proud of you man!

[@johns.4628]

I'm just impressed that he played 35 minutes of piano without sheet music. Memorization is impressive.

[@MichaelNgPiano]

Thank you!

Welcome backkk!!! I missed your videos. Woahhh damn it must feel good playing with an orchestra

[@MichaelNgPiano]

Great to see your comment! Thanks so much - won't be uploading regularly again yet, we shall see. Yes, it was a wonderful feeling! That moment when the final subject returns in the third movement - truly spectacular!

[@alphonsehein1122]

[@primeartonline-pianocovers1535]

Excellent! My favorite piece of all time! The second movement moved me to tears~ Also, you looked very very happy at the end, love to see people excited after they’ve accomplished something this amazing!

[@danielgould5530]

I was there three years ago! I looked this up again because it was the best rendition of this piece that I have ever heard.

[@MichaelNgPiano]

This means so much to me, thank you!

[@SpeedcubingCentralspeedcuber]

Amazing!

[@SpeedcubingCentralspeedcuber]

btw just wondering why do your other videos now have comments disabled?

[@MichaelNgPiano]

I think that was KZbin automatically doing that - since changed back manually! :)

[@PianoWorks1]

Absolutely amazing! Curious about the choice not to open the lid even just a bit, but it works. A pity you don't upload anymore but I understand the time crunch at Cambridge (studied there myself too, graduated 2017). All the best - you're incredible!

[@zoommasy]

Wow! I'm amazed. I play the violin and used to play piano, but maybe one day I'll pick up the piano again so then I can play both.

[@danielhankes6879]

Don't pick it back up. Only play the violin. It's an easier life. The piano only makes everything harder.

[@Eric0778]

Yale Han learn all instruments theyre all all related, somewhat, then focus at what you are better at, (is this a contradiction?)

[@dylanr4854]

@@danielhankes6879 Only if they want to become professional though. Actually you can definitely be great at many instruments at once, like maybe violin, guitar, piano, etc.

[@frederick5197]

Okay that's much better, damn that's smooth.

[@MichaelNgPiano]

Thanks!

[@frederick5197]

@@MichaelNgPiano You're clearly very talented, do you study music at an institution?

[@MichaelNgPiano]

Thank you! No, I've spent many years with my wonderful piano teacher :) I'll also mention that it was probably when I started having morning piano sessions with friends at school, that some of the improvisation and greater passion of music developed.

[@frederick5197]
