Saw Tiffany play this live at her London debut yesterday. It was hands down THE best performance I've ever heard. Standing ovation before the intermission.

[@BambooNtertainmentIsEpic]

I'm listening to it on loop lol

[@mayaep]

Wish I could see her live too

[@NWS189]

Tiffany, I think I begin to understand Ravel after listening to this. Quite an epiphany.

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

I'm so happy because he's one of my favorite composer 😊

[@saraaskarzadeh2389]

I would say "quite an etiffany" 💜😍

[@Joe1935429]

I am glad to hear someone understands Maurice Ravel. I don't, but I love every piece of music he has written or arranged. I love Bolero, but what is it? To the matter at hand: This performance is flat out stunning!

[@sylvestercoffee7212]

I'm a big fan of polka dots and that dress is lovely on you !!

[@nadjal]

I just keep coming back to it. My favorite performance of the piano transcription of La Valse :)

[@m.a.3322]

Try Yuja Wang's! It's pure perfection and marvel. :)

Late to the party but that was the most amazing piece I've ever heard or watched.

[@user-vy7rc5wn7n]

After suffering pain like deciding choices of my own life, I chose to watch this video again. After the last notes ended, I cried, not because the painful feeling, but the inspiration and the power from your music, I can feel that the passion and the pure instinct and the peaceful power from the music, not only the melody we heard, but also some invisible power from music and the performance. I thought that might be the meaning of music, of life. I could be stronger towards my own life. After watching your performance I should ask myself that as a human being what are real, and what are really valuable for your own life. I might write too long, but that’s all I really feel. Thank you for your performance 🙂☀️🎹

[@MySecretJourney]

Ravel is beautifully all over the place. This composer has dark beauty in his pieces.❤️❤️

[@OnnovanMiddelkoop]

Ravel meant it to be played like this. A deep bow to a superb pianist and performer.

I’ve never really liked this piece because don’t think I fully understand it, until I heard your interpretation. WOW. Thank you Tiffany!

[@diegobarbieri5285]

I love how you hit the piano as if there were no tomorrow

[@ryanfung146]

I love how colorful and unique your playing is! This truly emulates Ravel's La Valse, such an evocative portrayal of Vienna's once colorful and jovial streets, contrasted with the bitter memories of haze created by the famine

[@nicolaspachecoarango]

yes I definitely adore this version, her speed allows her to have colors and dynamics similars to those of an orchestra (also this tempo is the usual tempo of Ravel's La Valse orchestra version).

[@paulrevelli]

That was astounding. I didn't even know there was a piano transcription of this. Now that I do, I don't think I ever want to hear anyone else perform it.

[@raphaelmejia319]

10:45 perfección, I just fell off my chair on how amazing that was

[@justinfalck443]

I keep coming back to rewatch.. my eyes get teary everytime I watch you play this piece, I cant even put into words what I am feeling. U are an inspiration, a reminder for me to do something special.. I hope one day I will be able to awake emotions in others, the way u do.

[@JohnRHaws]

This is the best version of this piano I have ever heard. There is so much movement and emotion in Tiffany's whole body while playing this piece. JRH

[@haclil]

After the first few bars I had to remind myself to breathe, then again...and again. Tiffany, you give new meaning to the experience of being swept away by the music. Classical piano was never like this, not for me at any rate. What a extraordinary experience!

[@konradlchan]

Your articulation is breathtaking. Such clarity and variety :)

[@AnnieWilson-dg3wj]

I’m sure people constantly tell you you’re amazing all the time but I just have to say, your talent is incredible. You are my idol

[@rebe959]

I am not a good english speaker, but even in spanish I have litetally no words to express how amazing, brilliant, stunning and beautiful is this. Tiffany is one of the best pianist ever, love her interpretation always.

[@wallie963]

I don't think any language can perfectly explain the beauty of this performance. Your english is amazingly good by the way :D

[@kaclark9696]

I am speechless after your performance Tiffany. No words 💔

[@frenchyjpa]

Bravissimo ! As a fellow countryman of Maurice Ravel and a great fan of his music I find you performing of La Valse most colorful and impassioned. Greetings from Paris, France.

[@0hhSly]

frenchyjpa As a fellow Frenchman I’m really proud of our country’s classical music.

[@thibomeurkens2296]

When I hear the piano or the 2 piano version of this piece it’s just a wave of warmth and happiness that spreads through my entire body, i love this piece so such (and ravel in general he’s so great)

[@stephenhosmer7269]

I greatly adore the level of emotion that is applied to each key . You and your sound are very unique. The others I can only hear , with Tiffany I can listen . Your great Tiff , t.y

[@Rx-mn5fv]

A stimulating experience by a first-class performer.One of he best piano renditions of La Valse I have ever heard!

[@solbriller1]

Magic! Actually the best la Valse i have heard. Thank you. Some of the phrazes are so personal and artistic that your playing keeps the listener on the edge of the chair, in a good way:)

[@alexcortot]

A truly amazing and deeply heartfelt interpretation of this masterpiece. The slowing down at 02:05 was absolutely stunning. Thank you!

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Since Rubinstein I haven't heard anyone with such a golden touch.

[@perfumeil1]

I don't know why I keep coming back to this video. I couldn't find out any beauty in this piece when I listened to it for the first time...but I think I like this piece now. Thanks!

[@JohnRHaws]

This has to be one of Tiffany's finest performances and there are so many. She has captured Ravel's heart. I know she makes mistakes. Everybody does. But to play so well makes all the difference in world. Keep up the good work. JRH

[@TomCL-vb6xc]

John R. Haws She shows a thorough understanding of the work and the pain and confusion it expresses. It’s a joyously romantic waltz trying to break free from the chains of angst-riddled dissonance. Represents Ravel’s tiresome efforts to remember all that is beautiful about his homeland and Europe altgother despite the war and suffering which plagued it at the time it was written - a war in which Ravel himself served in.

[@rickthescapegoat74]

Wow what a roller coaster of emotion this song is, I am an outsider looking in, I see Tiffany playing a piano, critiques are for others. Thanks TP.

[@shernchine]

Rick TheScapegoat Roller coaster of emotion are exactly the words I’m trying to find to describe Tiffany’s interpretation of this!

[@disneybudgetinn3752]

The best Ravel La Vase that I have ever heard. Truly great pianism.

[@TheLouisrhyme]

Awesome !! I'm still waiting for Gaspard de la nuit from you 😀

[@mptoffal]

Tiffany, you have transformed from a child prodigy to an incredibly amazing mature pianist and performer. I loved your Chopin Waltz 64 #2. I'm not a big fan of Ravel, but it does show your amazing ability to blend talent, emotion,and physical beauty into a very difficult piece. You have taken over Valentina as my favorite pianist. None better.

[@randykern1842]

Matthew Toffaletti she really has! One of the best of our generation

[@catkeys6911]

At this level, all pianists are about equal, with some having particular strengths. Lisitza does the best Beethoven Moonlight Sonata I've ever heard: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haSyhpafoN56iM0 -now that one is not as technically difficult as this Ravel piece (although the final movement is tough enough), but it's her beautiful expression and cadence that really interprets Beethoven so beautifully.

[@adambuhrer]

This piece is absolutely insane and I love it

[@i-told-you-sodear1526]

What a surprise! Such passionate display of Ravel as I could never have imagined. I am riveted to my seat hearing her every note. Thank you Ms. Poon.

[@JIROYOSHIOKA]

WOOOOW this is insane, you nailed it..! Huuge respect for this amazing performance. I could hear the Orchestra out of your playing, this deserves a full hall of standing ovation.

Anyways I wish you to be physically and mentally healthy for you to post more jaw-dropping performances, as to inspire other aspiring pianists/musicians like me!

[@randomchannel-px6ho]

Often times I find that performers play this piece too fast and with far too much rubato. That is not the case here at all, as Tiffany does and exceptional job of bringing out the wonderful sound of the waltzing orchestra. I wish she would return this piece today as she has only gotten even better as a performer and her ear for audio engineering much improved.

[@crossbutterfinger]
