Unisa International piano competition - Semi Finalist

[@Jimindorothy]

sorry video quality is not so good..! haha I went to South Africa to do the International competition. I only made it to semi final, but I had magical time there! hope you like my playing :) 남아공에서 주최한 유니사 국제콩쿠르에 참여했습니다!! 비록 세미파이널까지밖에 못올라갔지만 너무 멋진 뮤지션들도 만나고 행복한 시간을 보내다가 왔어요!! 연주 재밌게 들어주세요 :) Original video from Unisa : kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp-cnJhvfKmimrc

[@JiejunsPiano]

Prior to your comment, I was wondering why you flew to South Africa. I found out that the Unisa piano competition takes place there. I haven't listening to your whole performance yet but I'm right now 😃 It's too bad you haven't won the competition. I think you already practice a lot but please keep working hard and be sure to win next year ! 💪💪

[@fonkythumbs]

I love your playing. ❤

[@XX-nf6kj]

Making it to the semi finals is a great achievement nonetheless! You can be proud! It sounds great :) Many people dream of playing like you :)

[@duotippss]

Yes Yes Yes dear Jimindorothy

[@yoelkristian222]

No way, this is sooo good !!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Scriabin_fan]

If you only made it to the semifinals, I can’t imagine how good the other pianists were. Congratulations on making it so far!

[@gradient-hj]

@AlejandroGjezi-jm9gf totally agreed. finally a sane comment that pays respect the every musician of this caliber!

[@cicik57]

@AlejandroGjezi-jm9gf you mean it make it not so good because it is classic- saturated?

[@cademosley4886]

I'm sure they were excellent, but I'm not watching a video of their performances. Jimin has built something special with her channel here. (That said, I'm always happy to hear new talent too though. But I keep coming back here for a reason too.)

[@jimyoung9262]

@AlejandroGjezi-jm9gf Exactly right. Fluidity and cliche (specifically, lack thereof) are a big deal at this level. That's a very kind way to say what you said BTW. I'm picking up what you're putting down.

[@cathaywongkt]

A very enjoyable hour to listen. Thank you for your performance. All in all, jazz is not invented for competition🥰

[@chaplainmattsanders4884]

Very good point!!! Indeed!

[@Radiatoron88]

You have a godlike command of the piano--I wouldn't pay any attention to competition "ranking" if I were you! You are a marvelous and hugely gifted musician. Just keep on doing the incredible work you are doing, and thank you so much for sharing your wonderful playing!!

[@the_user]

Jimin Park - the sign of quality.

[@christophueberhorst7924]

😮😮😮😮😊😊...I'm speechless, so inspiring and enjoyable...incredible version of Body and soul, and so many influences....

[@khumbomhango1528]

I dont care bout the semis.. you are the Best

[@wolfgangsuehrer5405]

Dear Jimindorothy, your performance is absolutely outstanding and I can't understand that you ONLY made it to the semifinal. How much better than you can anyone get? I enjoyed your performance immensely, thank you and Good Luck in the future!

[@alexeykulikov2739]

You seen others?

[@arturoalonso9174]

Fantastic Pianist...

[@sweettoot1]

You are the greatest I have heard as good as Oscar Peterson and Errol Garner

[@monetenigo4774]

thank you jimindorothy so wonderful to listen to you

[@jung-inpark8662]

Wow!!! She is really good!!!

[@eckartkrause4980]

Wonderful, great music. I can hear the influence of great musicians like Oscar Peterson, Eroll Garner, but you combine it to your own unique style. Can't hear enough from your playing. Thank you! ❤

[@MarioAnselmoRuiz-ui3zw]

Que ganho ? Gostaria saber que pianista saiu em primeiro lugar abraços Grato.Mario A.Ruiz

[@aigonewrong.]

Thank you for sharing your passion and music to the world. 🧡🧡🧡🙏🙏🙏

[@Jimindorothy]

Thank you so much!!😍

[@lionelfaure162]

Never mind ! the most important thing is to listen to you ! Congratulation

[@RolfLunheim]

Breathtakingly amazing. Oscar Peterson has been reincarnated as a beautiful Korean girl (he must be delighted!). You only made it to the semi final with this mesmerising performance? That's beyond belief.

[@ianmoore5502]

You deserve all your growth and success. You are an inspiration to so many!

[@musicofforester]

Been watching your channel for years from South Africa. Hope you had a good time in this country :)

[@J3unG]

This is excellent. I'd rather see you going on the road with a trio or quartet. I'd love to see you play the best jazz houses all around the world. That's where you should be. Later for the competition circuit. You're far too special for things like that. I look forward to your next video. Start doing trio work like Emmit Cohen and Jocelyn Gould on a regular livestream. You'd be a hit.

[@southpark4151]

Thanks!

[@walkercatenaccio]

you are great. I haven't heard the finalists, but maybe they were favored because they played with a more contemporary, spacey and "out' style.

[@abrahamlabastidasotazo4374]

Thank you so much for this. I love your playing, you’re one of my favorite pianists. Your solo piano album has accompanied me through some very tough times. I wish you the best Jimin ❤️❤️

[@mandohat]

Amazing!!!! Congratulations!! This is huge!!!!

[@aigonewrong.]

this is amazing. video quality is not what we need. as long as we get good sound quality!!! really enjoy listening to you playing jazz. amazing talent. thanks for sharing your passion and love to the world. BRAVO.

[@VideoFunForAll]

It would be nice if we had stereo!

[@cristianmontes2501]

You don't know how much I want to hear you play Mack the Knife! Excellent interpretation of all the songs you played, my favorite was After you've gone

[@PianoBassDrumMidiStudies]

이걸 듣다보니까 지민도로시님만의 transcription을 만드시면 진짜 멋질거 같아요 학생들에게 영향력도 남기고 아티스트로서 악보가 남겨지는게 멋질거 같네요

[@simonroh888]

정말 너무 아름다운 연주 입니다. 감동에 북받쳐 눈물없이 볼수가 없네요. This is insane world class. You are one of my most favourite jazz pianists.

[@zerosum1290]

mate you are so talented, i really love your work!

[@hakk4202]

대회 준비하느라 고생많으셨어요!!! 조용히 들으면서 감탄했었습니다 ㅎㅎㅎ👍👍

[@luxolontamo4440]

Wow "ungabe usakhumbula" is in my home language, it's by one of our composers. Nice rendition!

[@johnko8781]

body and soul is so good !!

[@Bob-sl2ed]

Brilliant! Following you for years, you are getting better and better. Bravo! You are incredibly good and have all the chances to be among the greats.

[@markmartin372]

Congrats on an excellent performance! 😊

[@jojomk2287]

You'll be our number one winner anyways thank you for this x)

[@aspitola]

진짜 재즈 좋아하는데 숨막히게 잘하시네요 일반적인 유투버 레벨이 아니십니다. 유투브만해도 전공자 투성이인데.... 스텔라바이스타라잇이랑 그린돌핀스트릿 정말 좋았어요!!!!! 정규음반 솔로로 내셔도 살것같아요

[@matthewjfoster1]

This is absolutely superb... really great stuff here.

[@Canabrava49]

Simply fantastic! Amazing!

Long time fan. Congratulations!!!

[@andrewcampbell-bluespianop6741]

Everything sounds amazing! 👏🏼🎶❤️

[@samtcgan068]

Well Done Dorothy, I listen to your playing everyday...very accomplished playing...must be your classical training, you remind me of Hiromi when she first came on scene years ago and did the Spain duet with Chick Concert in Tokyo that shot her to fame....I'm sure you'll be as famous as her soon.

[@MikeDPlxztc]

,, can't imagine how anybody could have beat you it must have been a subjective decision😅 your number one over here❤

[@crieverytim]

Fantastic playing.

[@WagnerMuccillo]

Very good!!!

[@ronl7131]

Great chops

[@JiejunsPiano]

Thank you for sharing your performance ❤️ Listening to it was very enjoyable and pleasant ~~ You haven't used only your hands but your whole body to play the piano and looked very passionate ~~ The expressions on your face were following the melody of the songs you were playing like you were possessed by them. The dynamics of each of your interpretations were quite accurate and balanced to me. I don't have a reference to judge your interpretation of each song but they all sounded very nice. Listening to you motivated me to practice piano. The variations and twists you added to your interpretation of Autumn Leaves also added mystery and a little tension. It was different from the other times I heard you played this song in a pleasant way ~~ You're a wonderful pianist ~~ Good luck for your future competitions !

[@metaphor5533]

19:09 After you’ve gone 미쳤다 ㄷㄷㄷ 이렇게 치는데 입상권도 안 준다고?

[@wrt0420]

지민도로시 님 유튜브 연주 접한뒤 저도 유튜브로 직접 먼든곡을 연주해보는 컨텐츠를 시작했는데 항상 많은 영감과 감동을 주시는 연주 감사히 잘 감상하고 있습니다 정말 대단하신거 같아요!!

[@garybesem]

The legacy of Oscar Peterson liveth on! Great performance!

[@JoeLinux2000]

Congratulations, Very excellent and quite amazing playing. The piano is on fire when you are playing. Did the fire marshals have to check it after your performance?

[@JoeLinux2000]

Body and Soul was really special. Very nice.

[@philipjohnevangelista2035]

You play like dorothy donegan and hazel scott. Youre so good.

20분 동안 멋진 연주 잘 듣고 있다가 댓글 먼저 남겨요^^ 파이널리스트에 오르지 못해 아쉬움이 있으시겠지만 올려주신 연주는 종합선물세트 같은 느낌이네요!

[@songbird6442]

내 귀에는 지민님 피아노가 제일 좋게 들립니다.

[@chefab-italyonpan9758]

Bravissima, such a long requirement for a competition, must be very stressful to prepare all these pieces at the state of the Art...as they are played

[@markus_grogol2350]

Love your playing

[@user-ds3wf2nq8r]

Insuperable, magnífica, yeah olè, especialmente After You’ve Gone. Thanks!!!!

[@republiccooper]

South Koreans, and East Asians in general are remarkable. They pour themselves into things they want to accomplish with rare discipline combined with incredible abandon.

[@MichaelJohnson-composer]

SEMI FINALS? It’s a crime. You’re hands down one of the most amazing pianists ever.

[@peakhg-fc2ht]
