Let me tell you, this is just an outstanding performance. Kate Liu's playing is out of this world. The one thing I do know is. Mozart would have been very, very proud of this performance. Thank you so much for uploading this most beautiful concert. I enjoyed this immensely.
My wife and I were fortunate to have witnessed Witold Lutoslawski conduct the premiere of this work in LA. We were also in the Founders Circle and standing very close to the maestro before the performance. Many years ago while in grad school I became a big fan and analyzed several of his works.
When comparing Lutoslawski to Stravinsky they both have a thousand ideas being expressed in a short amount of time but Lutoslawski bridges those ideas together with transitions and musical familiarity better than Stravinsky does. And if you don’t agree I’ll meet you in the parking lot 😂
It is a fact that I for every new recording on YT of this becomes somewhat delirious - but I believe this recording takes the price! SO GOOD! I am spokeless…for some time.
Let me tell you, this is just wonderful and very beautifully played. Outstanding performance, if I may say so. Yulianna certainly knows how to make the music come alive. Just magnificent. Thank you so much for uploading this magical performance. I have enjoyed it immensely
Very beautiful and wonderful concert. But something has to be done to match the sound levels between the concert and the ads You Tube puts in. The ads are ten times louder than the concert and make it difficult to enjoy the whole concert experience.
This orchestra is astonishingly good at playing this most English of orchestral works. It is amazing how full blooded and nuanced their playing is. Absolutely fantastic.
Does anybody know the instrument in 10:40, playing E-C-E? It sounds a bit like a piano, but there is no piano to my knowledge anywhere else in these variations? It could also be Bassoon and horn?
For me it's a real spiritual feast. A magical balm for the ear and soul. I'm listening with tears in my eyes. Kate Liu is "one and unique"🌹 Such talent comes once in a generation. Extraordinary performance! In two pieces of music as different as Mozart's piano concerto and Chopin's waltz, she showed she could play both strongly with incredible passion and ethereally as well. She is so gifted. Excellent cooperation with the Symphony Orchestra which rose to the challenge. Great recording!
So brilliantly underplayed and hypnotic. It reminds me of Berg's violin concerto. Quiet and restrained, yet the power builds underneath. This is truly fantastic.
Kate, You play the grand piano and my soul sings. You take me to a better dimension. You have the power to heal. Dear Kate, You are helping me fight a serious illness. I am extremely grateful to You🌹 This is what Artists should be like. Admiration for Your talent and respect for Your work. Thank You for being what You are 💜
