[@pianoredux7516]

It's extremely difficult to produce that variety of nuance, dynamics, and color on an upright piano even of good quality like this one. In fact, I've never heard it done on this level. An outstanding talent, this young man.

[@pianoredux7516]

I'm not sure what you're getting at. We can see neither his foot pedaling nor the dampers moving inside the case, but we may fairly assume he has employed the damper pedal there deliberately to sustain a loud fuzz on his fortissimo attack of the bass octaves so they ring through the lines of the upper texture. True, it does not sound as convincing as it would on a grand piano, but his musical intent is still clear.

[@rosalinplaat380]

[@justlivinginsaeng]

Omg whoever thought to bring him should get a raise hahaha

[@us7545]

Wow, I was not a fan of classical music. I don't even know how to read musical notes. But I listen to his music and I was so moved. He made me discover the beauty of classical music. He doen not just play music. His music to me, always tells a story and conveys feelings what the composer try to express. I cannot express in words but I can feel it every time he plays. He is just amazing!

[@derkommentar5013]

Technically, he is playing Romantic music ( Liszt and Tchaikovsky) not Classical music.

[@BoboDada616]

Look up his Rachmaninoff piano concerto from the Cliburn competition a few years ago. It’s pretty much flawless. He released some Chopin in ‘24, and it was probably my favorite release of the year.

[@YCLmusik]

I find myself rewatching his interviews more than his performances. After finishing a graceful and confident performance, he glances around, gives a slightly awkward smile, and rubs his hands together. And then he begins to speak in a low voice, as if he’s writing each word. His words are unadorned, sincere, and honest. After saying what he needs to, he moves on to his next performance. The superstar who sells out Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and the Royal Albert Hall is a shy young man. Yet, he’s a confident and assured artist who makes an upright piano sound like a 9-foot grand.

He reminds me very much of Rubinstein. I picked up on this after getting his Chopin record a few months ago, and I can still perceive it here. I’m very impressed and intrigued with Lim. His Rach. 3 deserves all the praise. It’s in the greatest of all time conversation. Personally, Byron Janis takes the top spot, but Lim’s is not far off, and obviously worthy of comparison with great examples of that concerto like Argerich’s or Ashkenazy. That first Tchaikovsky was superb. I haven’t heard that one in a long time. Cheers, Yunchan!

[@melinaanibarro7324]

His "October" interpretation is the best i have heard of that piece (personally for me.) (I recommend listening to all of his performances of that piece cause he plays it slightly different each time) I am so happy Tiny Desk got him to come and play so that people who do not know him are introduced to the amazing Yunchan !!

People probably don’t realize how much more difficult it is to produce such a beautiful and sensitive tone out of this studio upright compared to a 9ft. Grand. Yunchan Lim succeeds brilliantly and flawlessly in every respect bringing forth the musicality of these challenging pieces.

Give him a better piano, please. But thank you, NPR, for organizing this event and inviting Yunchan Lim over. Lim did a fantastic job here (-proves his beautiful pianism even on the upright piano and in an acoustically less-ideal setting). I just enjoyed watching the gap between a genius pianist who played with confidence and musical depth vs. a shy young man who got a cold and felt nervous about public speaking. Yes, they are the same person!! ;) Hope you feel better soon, Lim.
