envy you

[@behaydn]

Cant believe there are not that many replies here. I wish i could be there in the hall and get nourished in my ear. Watching many performances and interviews on youtube, I found he is not only a sensational pianist, but great and humble person with wisdom at that young age. Looking forward to your recital at meany hall in seattle!

헉... 이 버젼을 왜 지금에야 봤지;;;; 진짜 최고!!!

[@theMad_Artist]

Love this piece! I don't usually enjoy Ravel too much but this is so beautiful, love the Viennese influence

[@mbvglider]

Just listened to Seung-Jin Cho, Tiffany Poon, and Martha Argerich + Nelson Freire play "La Valse," might as well listen to this one. I love the original orchestral version, too, but for me, there's something more captivating about Ravel's ability to write for the piano.

[@tgylfason]

Brilliant as well as beautiful.

[@notaire2]

Despite the title it is very difficult to actually dance with this highly sophisticated masterpiece. Anyway, a brilliant performance with highest technique and innate lyricism. Just wonderful!

As a Korean I'm so proud of Yekwon Sunwoo.

[@theMad_Artist]

As a non-Korean I'm proud of him too! :D

[@lczq6737]

As a Singaporean I don't know who to be proud of

[@jwilliams8210]

This sound quality was bad. But great Performance. Mr.Sunwoo ,you make me dance

[@Mezzotenor]

Definitely, it's a dry little room, nothing sounds great there. But yes, he really made it hang together, which a lot of pianists don't. (Embarrassingly so in some instances on KZbin.)

Dislike! Terrible performance!!!! 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

[@ravenstrobe]

You & I have clearly been listening to different performances ... but the good thing about living in a democracy is that we can each have our own opinion (until the snowflakes & woke brigade are in charge, at least 🙂).

[@michaelw.4469]

How is this a terrible performance?
