Thanks for the timestamps!

[@tulipenoire2012]

I discovered this young phenomenon by chance. I searched KZbin for a good recording of Schumann's Carnaval Op. 9 to listen to during my lunch today, and I came across this gift from Heaven. After that I've watched practically everything on KZbin about this girl. In fact, I am so far without understanding why this girl does not have the projection she deserves ...She certainly deserves it ... By the way, I really enjoyed her reading of Schumann's Arabesque Op. 18.

[@annanadal6101]

She's thanking EVERYONE at the end!!! I'd love to have a girl like that as a daughter -or as a teacher!!! lovely ending, apart from an awsome artist, she's an increadibly affectionate communicator!

[@LygiaCostaPiano]

She's awesome! I wish she was my friend =D

[@fyx1926]

Dear Tiffany, You are not only a wonderful pianist, but your handling of "carnival" shows that you are wonderful human being! I keep hearing you in my head and it is worth being alive! JJ

[@juergenvoigt8931]

I'm happy and really astonished that we need this young Aisian Lady to listen to a masterpiece of German romantic music after long time! In concert-programs of Hamburg (my home town) Schumann is not performed anymore, and I do not understand why it ist like this! Ms. Poon - thank You so much! This is really one of the many possibilities to inter prate Schumann! You are lovely! Jürgen, old German Musician from Hamburg, Germany

[@MusikPiratCH]

Juergen Voigt Wrong, Evgeny Kissin also performed Schumann's Carnaval in concert (and better IMHO). The best Carnaval (IMHO) has been played by Art(h)ur Rubinstein - there is no better March of the Davidsbündler (rhythmical superb)! :D

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

Good music is universal. Thats a shame about Hamburg. I;ve loved Schumann all my life-magic piano music and exquisite lieder. Unfortunately there are fashions in classical music as in everything else. :-(

[@lovemetu]

What a lovely young lady Pianist Tiffany Poon is and what an awesome ending to this video where Tiffany gives thanks to those who have supported her throughout her career and also thanks the audience for coming, that was a really lovely thing to do Tiffany !!

[@robertoa.m.3984]

Great playing! Worthy of the masters. Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉

[@pianissimoatmidnight]

Until I happened to encounter this performance, my favorites of this piece were the recordings by Solomon and Cortot. Now I must add one more--- if not the "best"---it is yours, Ms. Poon. Thank you for that from deepest bottom of my heart. You are, I believe, already one of those great pianists in the history. I am looking forward to you visiting my country and have concerts.

[@hyramesshiramess1035]

Another of many really good ones with some extra sensitivity to mood and character added for good measure. And now the real challenge begins -- finding a place for yourself in a world grown increasingly hostile to the very things that make life worth living. May God bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you, dear young lady.

[@ZHristev]

Tiffany, you can beautifully to recreating the mentality of the authors. You play for us your listeners. Thank you very much!

[@TSK24692]

I'm blown away. Aside from your amazing technical prowess, you show wisdom and understanding way beyond your age. You've done true justice to this great composition.

[@inraid]

This is among the finest on YT! Congratulations! And many thanks!

[@e.9994]

Thank you Tiffany : merci... hope this peace of schumann bring you some feelings... cause you give us much feelings... Continue in you way... Your so cute when you thanks every people... in french : bravo ! merci...See you again on you tube...Good luck

[@victorngrt8800]

Incredible. You got your personal You have your style that I can recognize among 100 different pianists. Congratulations !

[@Rx-mn5fv]

Played with commitment and authority. Simply beautiful. A joy to behold. Bravo!

[@FILIGREE1]

She is so modest and sweet in her videos that it is easy to underestimate her. Wonderful performance!!

[@tallisrocktube]

Amazing mastery of this Schumann piece..Tiffany Poon is world class.

[@jasonfrost2487]

Such a beautiful soul supporting an immense talent.

[@ModelDX1]

Wow Tiffany, are you about to enter college already. You kids grow up so fast it seems to an old man like me. Time goes by so quickly as I grow older. You are such an excellent pianist, I love your video's.

[@DrMGoesWild]

Robert Schumann, unsurpassed at expressing everything about humanity that is beautiful, wonderful yet also fragile and vulnerable. Love your performance Tiffany, thanks!

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

Oooh! I thnk Schumann would approve. You live this work. Your interpretation is wonderful and it's made my day. I hope you have a fantastic career. :-)

[@pianoforever100]

Simply exquisite, Tiffany. A work of this magnitude, which summarizes all genius of Schumann, superbly performed. Here's all impetuous romanticism, delicacy, passion, tenderness, poetry... All that and more sugests me your performance. Brava!!

[@jamesp34]

Extraordinaire musicienne, sonorité et feeling exceptionnel, sans aucun doute une des meilleures pianistes du 21ème siècle

[@GustavoSBgas]

Outstanding performance. I enjoy listening everything you play, congrats!!

[@echi460]

Tiffany Poon, so beautiful !

[@kulchittvilaichitt7500]

You are beautiful. I love your Piano playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO!!!

[@kerawelt2008]

Blissful. Schumann must be overjoyed in Heaven.

[@micheldupaul7768]

Merci ! Quelle belle interprétation d'une si belle et merveilleuse musique.

[@wernerschwarz7596]

Dear Tiffany, thank you for this masterpiece of piano-art. It has been a real pleasure to me at this wonderfull blue-skyed and sunny Saturday morning to listen to your perfect music. I am following your development over the last couple of years starting with your very impressive Moonlight Sonata at the age of 13 and I admire your progress since then as a result of talent, ambition and discipline. And it has been a real pleasure and honor to me to meet you while you have been on tour last year in Straelen in Germany. I wish you succes and luck for your future and hope to hear more from your wonderfull piano-play either here at youtube, your first CD (when will it be publisched??) or life. Kind regards Werner

WONDERFUL Tiffany!

[@luky46]

Great performance, thanks for sharing with us

[@judithnelson1665]

There are many masters who do this compostion with beauty and skill. But Ms. Poon is unusally alert to the emotional requriements of the sections. A great performance. Brava.

[@urherman1]

she is a great young pianist. She should have a great career Her interpretation of the the monumental Carnaval is amazing for one so young. With whom did she study at he Juilliard?

[@MaxGavOhio]

Another beautiful performance, Tiffany!!

[@desteddyeggroll]

17:01 I love this section! 18:06 And HERE! You better play, Tiffany!

[@inraid]

Superb!

[@krakerkrunch]

Bellísima interpretación!!! Gracias Tyffany!

[@camilloflaim575]

For these composizione it's the best pianist.

[@chantellem581]

beautiful interpretation! Well done! Your hard work is certainly paying off!

[@markharrison2625]

Why so much praise? She's a Princess and a Goddess, that's all, right?

[@catcat15]

Wonderful. So full of grace :)

[@hyramesshiramess1035]

Bravo, Indeed! I came back to listen again, and loved it even more today. In fact I've bookmarked it to enjoy again and again in future. Like all true artists you seem to draw most of your inspiration and understanding from within and not so much from tuition and imitation. I'm not sure, since you are so very young, if you are familiar with Guiomar Novaes' interpretation of Carnaval, but your approach reminds me of her in many ways. Please take that as a compliment, since I've always regarded her as the greatest exponent of Chopin and Schumann's work. I wish I could tell you a few little things about Promenade and the Marche. You play so very well it seems churlish to criticize. Most of the “vignettes” were exquisitely well realized; in fact I’ve never heard Aveu played more touchingly. Promenade, however, while “very good,” of course, would benefit from a steadier rhythm. You begin it beautifully, as few do, but have developed a habit of suddenly lurching forward out of tempo in the left hand after each of the impassioned fortes. This throws it a bit off balance. In the Marche-finale, I’d like to hear stronger emphasis in the left hand and a bit more ‘resistance,”, when the Grandfather theme comes in. Also a livelier awareness of what the bass is doing throughout -- particularly in the coda. In general I want to hear more from the bass throughout the entire work. But this may be mere nitpicking. It’s awfully good. Few including many deemed “great” have given us a more satisfying rendition.

[@1androo2]

Hyramess Hiramess what great feedback, I wouldn't be able to spot anything like that at my current skill level (my current skill level is the ability to play 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.').

[@lorrainelager852]

Wow, you are everywhere on classical youtube. Is the reason you praise so much because you hope the same enthusiasm will be honored to you? True beauty is appreciated through silence, not through a rehearsed applause.

[@CarmenReyes-em9np]

Bonita mujer. ❤😂

[@vrendus522]

Brilliantly played. Thank you

[@zairavalenz1029]

you're so brave so brave for playing this!! It's almost unplayable. I admire qhen someone play Schumann with confidence 🌼

[@bjornviir3333]

totally playable piece....Ligeti is kinda unplayable....

[@lenirogy238]

Wow! You're such a great pianist! This piece is sooo pretty and vull of feelings!

[@nandoflorestan]

THANK YOU!

[@camilloflaim575]

Not only BRAVO to the pianist, BRAVO to the composer R. Schumann

[@camilloflaim575]

Per ascoltare questa composizione non ho bisogno dei titoli che il compositore ha messo per spiegare a chi ascolta le sue intenzioni con circa 20 didascalie. Ne ho abbastanza della sua musica così esplicativa.

[@camilloflaim8933]

camillo Flaim Ho ascoltato anche oggi questa composizione perché in Italia è tempo di carnevale ed oggi è il 10 febbraio e fino a martedì grasso siamo in carnevale 2017. Ho avuto modo di ascoltare una eccellente esecuzione della Fantasia in Re minore di Mozart.

[@charliemcleod764]

Brawsome! Enjoyed your live stream today, 24th May 2020. Best wishes from Scotland.

[@camilloflaim8933]

Ho ascoltato l'interpretazione del pianista Georges Cziffra; effettivamente le 2 versioni del Carneval op.9 coincidono. Non penso che il filmato sia muto e che vada in onda la versione sonora di Cziffra, perché altrimenti me ne sarei accorto. Tiffany Poon è davvero straordinaria come pianista; ho ascoltato differenti sue interpretazioni pianistiche che ho ascoltato nel Concorso Chopin. Ho conosciuto video di Tiffany di quando aveva 9 o 10 anni.

[@389Rolando]

Amazing interpetation of Chiarina!! 13:51

[@jjadt3108]

¡Sin palabras!

[@stellacarbocci4145]

Bravaaa

[@papillonmonica]

Great performance. I'm rooting for you.

[@grakelonio]

Bravo Tiffany, sensacional!

[@dibaldgyfm9933]

All of these pieces are beautifully played, but at 16:22 I sharpened my ears ... ☺

[@walterchin8832]

Brilliant indeed!!!

[@BeammeupSpotty]

am I dreaming???? Pinch me. I must not be awake. what is this Tiffany Poon? what? where? how? what is this machine that is not a machine? this artist!!! this painter with piano keys as her colors, fingers are her brushes. how? how? tell me will you. how does someone become the embodiment of art, beauty, soul, expression, story telling, poetry, and still be human? it cannot be real. I must be dreaming. But no you say. You are not asleep. this is real. she is real. it is as you experience it to be.

[@CarmenReyes-em9np]

Splendid Performance!

[@berkburk8598]

Absolument parfait.

[@gloriagori9633]

BRAVA!!!!

[@theenglishalpinist5031]

I'd say this is the definitive performance of this piece, surpassing Barenboim, but no fault of his - her feminity suits this utterly, added to technical and musical command it can't be beaten. After being a prodigy (what's new?), she has stamped herself on the mature world class echelons with this.

[@jordysworld2799]

So beautiful!! U make me smile and feel inspired and motivated even more every time I watch your performance!! Thank you!! N how old r u now? Anyone know or take a wild guess!!??

[@camilloflaim575]

Ho sentito dire che anche Dio in persona ,quando Tiffany suona il Carnevale, dice a tutti agli angeli e arcangeli: non disturbatemi per una mezz'ora che voglio ascoltare questa composizione; e poi si mette sul suo trono di plexiglas(per essere aggiornato coi tempi).

[@johnchen4856]

Bravo!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@inraid]

superb!

[@miguelfontesmeira]

"Pierrot" was amaaaazing

100k finally!

[@dou40006]

Remarkable interpretation , Schumann music worth nothing if you can’t get the spirit of it, she get it definitively

[@sophiechen4612]

Beautiful performance! When will you upload the rest of your graduation recital?

[@laspiano765]

Maravilha de video e som, musica muito cativante, acaba com mau entendido, 02-07-2018-Sg-16:51hs.-LASPiano.-

[@proyectocms]

Wonderful!... one detail: You made crazy when I saw you playing some notes in "Chopin" with right hand...I started looking in KZbin for other pianists who do it, but no one else did it...(Jinsang Lee, Lavina Bertulli, Eliso Virsaladze, Gilburt, Kissing, and I´m sure Arrau neither)...For me, an piano enthusiastic, always was very hard play all this section with left hand...I´ll try what you do.

[@kelvino1237]

8:53 - 8:58 papillons???

[@skrutten_]

That's Florestan but it does give a reflection of Papillons. Papillons (in Carnaval) starts at 12:20. (There is also a separate work called Papillons that is Op.2 which is the one that sounds like Florestan.)

[@CarmenReyes-em9np]

🇮🇷🌹👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

[@camilloflaim8933]

Per fortuna che qualcuno ha avuto l'idea di registrare il Carneval op.9 suonato da Tiffany Poon.

[@camitful]

i know Carnaval op.9 of Michelangeli and to of Richter at piano, but you play good these music

[@EttorealbertoGelli-vr6sz]

Beh, direi di non convocare ABM .. questa pianista ha una energia nervosa ed esplosiva e mani fortissime ma i suoi tempi sono troppo veloci e il Cantabile non è il suo forte Se si calma un po' può diventare una pianista molto importante

[@user-gr4ep6bn6y]

髪の毛サラサラすぎん?!羨ましい 演奏も素敵です✨

[@guzepppi]

I AM NOT A MUSICIAN BUT MUSIC IS STUCK IN MY BONES AND CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT TAKES TO REACH THE TOP OF A CARRIER. TO ME TIFFANY POON SHOULD BE AMONGST THE STARS, SHE CERTAINLY DOES NOT NEED MORE DEDICATION AND DRIVE. THE TROUBLE IS , WHO DO THE PUSHING? OR WHO DOES NOT DO THE PUSHING?

[@camilloflaim575]

Secondo me da musicista anche compositore, nè Rachmaninov né Rubinstein eseguono perfettamente Carneval op.9; E' una affermazione di comodo dire che quei 2 pianisti sono mostruosamente esemplari; nello scorso secolo si facevano confronti tra alcune esecuzioni di determinate composizioni .

[@elp19700]

Jeffrey Biegel suspects that this piece may have been the inspiration for Keith Emerson's Karn Evil # 9......... Maybe it does.

[@fyx1926]

This is not the performance ihave on video.who messes about with this music?It sounds like two traxcjs at once slightly out of time.

[@annawzs4663]

中间有一段蝴蝶?

[@lorrainelager852]

Could have more playfulness- more of that Schumannesque manic joy. In particular I would bring out the fs and ff more, without making it violent.

[@victorngrt8800]

Seriously, what the fuck. This technicity.

[@keithwinter7721]

Jesus had his reasons Isaiah

[@Fritz_Maisenbacher]

Of course a fantastic moment of music ...... what a tremendous technique and ability ..... and a sincere musicality, real love for the score ..... But, dear Tiffany, there is something missing ...... you forget that Schumann was crazy, mad. Do not play this as a super Scarlatti-Sonata. Your music is too bright, too brilliant, too clean. The Carnaval is neurotic, obsessive, full of dark omens. Dear Tiffany, give us your fears and anguishes, not your happiness .....
