Is it his pedaling that creates vastly distinct yet complementary layers and tones, and having really separate brains for his right and left hands? How does he do it? Other performers of this piece give it such a one-dimensional interpretation. Again, Yunchan spoils it for the others.
I concluded he has two totally separate independent compartments of brain linked to his left and right hands. Otherwise, there’s no accounting for much of his orchestral layering.
