But the 4 Scarlattis are among the best interpretations so far as well.

Hi, y'all, you are very welcome! And Thank YOU guys for watching Tiffanys concert! 👍

[@carlhopkinson]

Your ornaments in the Scarlatti are good enough to display on Christmas.

[@alexismandelias]

That's... a very unique comment

[@NWS189]

Cross out the word "Rising"! Tiffany is a STAR.

[@AnnaKhomichkoPianist]

NWS189 yes! :)

[@faxiwu]

I thought ‘rising star’ means she is already a star but is rising higher?

[@AnnaKhomichkoPianist]

faxiwu well, the series “rising stars” are organized by many events and it basically means “young musicians”, not necessarily how famous they are already

[@ziwenjiao3391]

Good thinking faxiwu. Yes. I guess. :)

[@folkeholmberg3519]

Didn't you know, for the stars there's no limit how high they can fly.....

[@kaclark9696]

Tiffany is classy classical pianist. Her talent reveals who she is. She doesn't need to wear revealing clothing (i.e. shorts, cleavage, 5 inch heels). She is graceful, always on the piano, articulate in her speech without a hint of "I know I'm good". She let's her dexterity and skill speak for itself. Imagine being accepted at Juilliard at the age of 8. She is humble, none of the "look at me people" attitude that some pros have. Refreshing. She is truly an exceptional talent.

[@lovevivaldi]

I wanted to add that one day, when all of us are gone, Tiffany will be talked about like we discuss Mozart, Bach and Scarlatti today. She is that good.

[@stevenmeyer9674]

Tearing down someone in order to build up another is a really bad look. While i'm not a particular fan of your target's wardrobe choices, there is no question of her monstrous talent. She has also recognized the need to draw attention to herself through her dress and social media presence, just as Tiffany is with her KZbin channels. It is likely that if she didn't have her social media you never would have heard of her.

[@stevenmeyer9674]

@@lovevivaldi She's a player, not a composer.

[@topturretgunner]

I could not agree with you more. While I appreciate pianists like Yuja Wang and Kathia Buniatishivili for their skills as accomplished artists I find the “hey look at me” raw sexuality/exposure distracting and out of place for the setting. Do you want to be appreciated for your artistic skills or your sensuality? One is commendable the other cheap. Tiffany is both humble and classy in addition to being VERY gifted and accomplished. I respect and like her.

[@stevenmeyer9674]

@@topturretgunner While i tend to agree with your take about her wardrobe choices, i also saw Yuja being involved on a youtube channel show where she not only showed a real sense of humor, and not taking herself that seriously, laughing when she was being made fun of. She also got what appeared to be thoroughly drunk during the show.

[@miguelfontesmeira]

I never thought I'd say that, but I'm in love with her trills

[@kjaeckle03]

Wonderful concert played fantastically by a bright star, not a rising star.

[@pianissimoatmidnight]

There are many who play well with superior technique but few really "communicate" to individual audiences. Ms. Poon is one of those few gifted as such. She talks to us so intimately and touches our hearts so directly but gently. That is why she should be compared with those keyboard legends in the history.

[@shoshog4647]

Just because i see her vlogs i feel so proud now like i personally know her struggles and practice routines ! What a time to be alive

[@PianistStefanBoetel]

The Scarlatti is so beautiful and the trills breathtaking!

[@b3fiend]

How can the human brain remember how to play 2 hours and tens of thousands of notes...and do it so perfectly. I can only assume she is not human.

[@eyelll4982]

There are full performances with no sheet music of Liszt's transcendental etudes(Trifonov) , And Alkan's 12 Etudes (Maltempo) which is even crazier. (Both are a extremely hard set of Etudes)

[@dibaldgyfm9933]

@word (says "it becomes language") :: Well even if it is language who could remember a two hour long speech without some work? She is doing such a nice job remembering all these lines (like lines of a drama) not impossible, but demanding. If you really like music, you are willing to do a mound of work.

[@crigsbe]

I never heard Scarlatti so fresh and lively. Tiffany you are shining very brightly. You taught me the most beautiful lessons. Thank you very much. ❤❤❤

[@andresgunther]

Hi, I had to leave right after the final chord of Tiffany's encore. I want you to know that my boss, who is an accomplished musician (piano and organ) listened to the encore, and said "Rising Star? The way she plays she's already risen & established!" - he's not a man to make compliments like this one so easily. Brava again, Tiffany, you made it! 👋👋👋 Thanks again to Gilmore for live-streaming this recital in such high quality!

[@kjaeckle03]

I agree completely.

[@MrPete1968]

Ehab Sirafi that was very good

[@ranmo4925]

Rising to a higher level of STAR!

[@quaver1239]

A huge talent, and not only musically. She is apparently academically brilliant too, having a degree in philosophy. Not a show-off; just a simply remarkable musician.

[@evanofelipe]

Beyond excellent, There is nothing I can add to the wealth of supportive and informed comments so well expressed below. Except, perhaps that the extra-special thing with Tiffany is that she has chosen to share her ‘journey to perfection’ so candidly with us through her personal vlogs. Thus, in a very small way, it allows us also to share remotely in her success. It’s such a privilege . Thank you Tiffany.

[@sakuntalabasu1493]

I was reading the comments on Ms Tiffany Poon's performance and the discussion veered round to her playing of the ornaments in the Scarlatti sonatas. In my opinion, how a musician interprets any piece of music is a result of several factors- the way she has been taught to look and listen by her teachers, her comfort level with plaiyng technique and most importantly her own inclination. As listeners, we are all different as are the musicians themseves. For me, variety is the spice of life and I respect and welcome it in any musical performance. Lastly, I have been following Tiffany (on KZbin ) since she was a teenager and I think it true to say that however she chooses to portray a musical work is arrived at after a great deal of thought and hours of practising. I look forward to the changes that will inevitably come in her interpretations as she grows older and wish her many many years of music making. Sakuntala Basu, listening from India

[@kamchin5369]

Her interpretation of this Scarlatti Sonata d minor is so clear, crisp and faultless. Refreshing!

[@yuhboiray3903]

this preformance was absolutely beautiful. what an amazing pianist. my favorite highlight was loves sororow, of course, but she played so amazing on every song

[@clamayaceo]

I am enjoying the replay immensely. The program was simply superb! The program, the performance- beyond impressive. Expertly and beautifully executed cannot begin to adequately describe this. The emotions conveyed through each piece of music added to the precise and sensitive nuances of touch by the fingers were beyond description. Tiffany Poon was a rising star. This concert showcases her, without a doubt, to be one of the top accomplished artists of our time. Thank you once again to Gilmore for the livestream, for this replay access and for your recognition of this indeed gifted pianist!

[@tatamara7796]

Really really really good to listen to from an oustanding pianist

[@johndoe9501]

For someone who does not play 8 hours or more a day she is so talented and understanding of the pieces she plays.always nice to see someone who enjoys piano and lives their life instead of slaving themselves to the piano.❤️

[@charlesfernandez201]

She doesn't practice piano 8 hours a day, she says usually 2-5 hours only. Go watch her vlogs if you want to see soke practice session clips.

[@sosenpott5445]

Welch ein unglaublich breites Spektrum Tiffany Poon in Vollendung beherrscht. Sie ist die emotionalste Pianistin die ich kenne. Es ist ein absoluter Genuss, ihr zuzuhören. Leider fehlen mir die Worte, es differenzierter zu beschreiben, wie ich sie wahrnehme. Einfach Bravo! What an incredibly broad spectrum Tiffany Poon has mastered to perfection. She is the most emotional pianist I know. It is an absolute pleasure to listen to her. Unfortunately, I don't have the words to describe in more detail how I perceive her. Simply bravo!

[@poo13828]

Dear Tiffany, so mature for such a young age! I listened to your concert, the two pieces of Scarlatti were very good. Regarding laughter at the end of your piece, this is probably a reaction to your virtuosity and the jump in time from 1685 to 1961! Bravo Tiffany, despite the jet lag, the flu, that resilience. Congratulations also on your quarterfinal at the Clara Askill Contest. I hope I can listen to you again very soon.

Hi Yves, this is Michael Sellers with the Gilmore and would like to help resolve the issue you are having with the Tiffany Poon footage. I see and understand the start point of 2:17, but I do not see a second set of time codes displaying a 7 minute gap. Please let me know where the 9:17 time code is displayed on the footage, so I can better understand the situation and provide you with an answer to your question.
