[@jaygatz4335]

I'm so used to hearing the smaller cadenza from the Cliburn performance, but what a thrill to hear Yunchan play the Ossia! This fearless keyboard explorer has a true artist's soul.

[@술톤윤돼지탄핵]

Indeed..

[@bobschaaf2549]

Cliburn played this cadenza, with a two measure cut at the climax. Also, his performance of it was much better shaped. Lim's competition performance was breathtaking, but I think he should retire the piece for a few years. His performance of this cadenza shoudl have stayed in the oven for a while longer.

[@cisdolce]

@0:33, @0:47 Rachmaninoff was obsessed with church bells in Russia. This guy is the only pianist I've ever heard that makes me think of bells when hear the cadenza. Hear that low G!

[@Maffchops]

I don't wanna disagree with the gist of your comment, but it's a low A!

[@PersonalUseChannel]

what's interesting is that the bell was echoing all the way through the video

[@cisdolce]

@@Maffchopsi stand corrected lol. Good catch.

[@ms.annthrope415]

I got shivers listening to his spectacular playing.

A concert of a lifetime 🥹

[@fartissimo]

LOVED IT! He played the other cadenza at the Van Cliburn competition and I much prefer the ossia cadenza- too bad the sound on this performance was so poor. Hopefully it was professionally recorded and will be released as a recording.

[@OctoPlaysPiano]

Mics from the ceiling!

[@willistara]

Yes, I thought so too. Yunchan is fantastic but poor sound failed to bring out the grandeur of this masterpiece.

[@bobbarns4516]

He was a little too slow here. He played it faster and with more dynamics in New York.

[@zimermanfou6705]

Bravo! What a nice surprise! I found another very powerful account of the ossia cadenza here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omm6ZHppoZatq7M

[@PianoPsych]

Thank you for posting this!

[@guesswhatbro6595]

In NY and Aspen, he played this cadenza with so much power and passion. In Colorado, he provided a rather restrained but emotional interpretation of this cadenza. This time, I think it was somewhere in between those two. I love that he brings out different ideas every time he plays, which is exactly what Horowitz did. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZeqgWiFrbmCeJo this is a video of him practicing ossia in Aspen. Sounds totally different

[@jean-mariedethier5495]

D'accord avec vous. C'est la trempe des tout "grands" de rester fidèles à leur conscience du moment, comme une nécessité.

[@charmquark6366]

I wonder if the high altitude in Aspen prompted Yunchan to take a different approach. His playing is always so powerful and the muscle fatigue may set in quicker up there.

[@trifonovfan9819]

I'm a huge fan of Yunchan. I think he's the greatest living pianist. But this Ossia is a little slow...

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

This student Yunchan Lim is not the greatest! Student Yunchan Lim played colorless dry cold piano sound Rach concerto no 3 in the Cliburn Finals! Also Yunchan Lim his Mozart concerto was not that good! Yunchan Lim his Mendelssohn piano concerto not the best! Dimitri Bashkirov her teacher Anastasia Virsaladze teach saying to Bashkirov the most important lesson is the love of beautiful colorful piano sound! This was already in 1930s! Really Shocking! All the modern players are cold colorless piano sound players like Kissin Zimerman Hamelin Pletnev and latest hype student Yunchan Lim! All the colorful beautiful piano sound players are gone dead like Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy! Student Yunchan Lim is not the greatest Rach concerto player! These are better like Horowitz Cliburn( much better than YunchanLim!) Gavrilov( more colorful piano sound and more genius than Yunchan Lim!) Argerich( more passion and fierce and fire than Yunchan Lim!) Sokolov( more Titanic and better rhythmic vitalness than Yunchan Lim!) Ashkenazy( volcano colorful sound!) Mogilevsky Bronfman!

Amazing. Piano needs regulation though

[@yaucalabi-et5yl]

[@Pogouldangeliwitz]

I hate when ignoramuses cut off the cadenza. Makes me angry.

[@larkspur77]

It was not cut off. The entire cadenza was played. They did a poor job of making it fade. A long 2nd and 3rd movement follow until the final chords!

[@franzitaduz]

Very few have the guts. He deserved to win because he’s mastered the foundations to be able to attempt the heights where the air is rare…. With a conductor as this one who could phrase with him, this performance lifts the audience to heaven as classical music should! I wish the piano was a Bösendorfer that has morebalanced warmth. Steinway are muffled in the bass registers.

[@lancecrimm]

anyone notice the thunder after the heroic potion as the flutes come back in? 3:03

[@artemakin]

The return of the main theme marked pesante in the score. it's important to let the melody shine in full glory after the timid and subtle first appearence. here it sounds like hysteria. technically perfect and physically impressive but it has nothing to do with the context of the piece. you may disagree, I just share my opinion.

[@jungjo9604]

How is the war going in your country?

[@artemakin]

@@jungjo9604 can't tell if you're asking sincerely or it's just an attempt for mocking. in any case it's bad, thanks and it has no connection to Rach 3 anyway. so I guess you don't have points to discuss the MUSIC, not politics.

[@marksmith3947]

He bangs where Horowitz plays huge without banging. This is very good but for me his playing still has the competition honed lack of originality. It doesn't help that this piece is a warhorse whose last battle should have been long ago

[@Numberonesorabjifan]

Damn i usually like yunchans interpretations. Unlucky for me i guess.

Bro no pianists alive in these days play Rach 3 better than Yunchan

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

This student Yunchan Lim played boring Rach concerto no 3 with colorless ice cold piano sound! Student Yunchan Lim his Mozart concerto no 22 too soft! No genius! No flow! All the modern players are cold and colorless like Zimerman( robot with colorless tone!) Kissin( ice cold piano sound!) Pletnev Trifonov and so on! Dimitri Bashkirov her teacher Anastasia Virsaladze teach saying to Bashkirov the most important Lesson is The Love of beautiful colorful piano sound! This was already in 1930s really shocking! All the beautiful sound players are gone dead like Emil Gilels Wilhelm Kempff Rubinstein Radu Lupu Vladimir Ashkenazy! This colorless student Yumchan Lim should study next 6 years with a good teacher to get better sound! Better structure! Better style! Long way to go to be a level tve greatest like Sviatoslav Richter Maurizio Pollini Grigory Sokolov Radu Lupu Kempff Gilels! Crazy world we are living the people claiming student Yunchan Lim the greatest! Yunchan Lim is next Zimerman( robot with colorless tone!) Or Kissin( ice cold piano sound!)

[@samuelgavrilita7608]

Playing fast and loud is not what music is about. I mean when I listen to Y Lim performance I don’t get what he’s trying to do, there’s no storytelling. His sound is just dry.

[@samuelgavrilita7608]

[@dionysus4778]

@@samuelgavrilita7608 Yunchan Lim OWNS Rach 3 and 2. Basically, he Owns Rach. Period. Even Liszt, if I can add more. I've heard LIVE on his Rach 3 and 2 concerts, INC this Hollywood Bowl. I was there. The sound quality from this video doesn't make half the sound quality of the actual concert. Nevertheless, I'm still impressed this concert and the Ossia. I just heard your linked Malo. Talk about playing fast and can't really hear the story telling. He seemed struggling in the Ossia. Still, I think he was trying his best, and I'm not even gonna go there with sounds feeling dry.
