This interpretation is saturated with almost miraculous precision and a warm elegance of tone that many recording artists can only pray to capture. What a treat to find this!
One fully realises how incredible is the gap between a musical prodigy like you and the rest of us when you listen to a piece you played many many years ago and never imagined it could sound this good.
It is the smooth fluidity over consistent tempo that makes this performance so marvelous! Thank you, Sophia, you have amazing skill and artistry! Greetings from Canada.
(PS) The bass line is so beautiful and I have listened to it many times in a row. I felt a new side of Bach. I would like to listen to other Bach pieces as well. Thank you for the performance.
Excellent rendition. The second piece sounded very Gouldian. Solid tempo and articulation. Only issue might be too much highlighting of the trills and mordants. Tend to detract from the flow.
Wow, this is amazing; and 25 other commenters think so too (more eloquently than me); big thank you Sophia! ... Whereabouts in Canada do you hail from?
@@SophiaLiu_Pianist Oh what a delight to hear back from you in person and in less than one hour after first discovering you! ... "Dialogue with a soon to be world famous international pianist" ... But I erred in asking you where in Canada you hailed from. I did a very quick search of your name and, obviously, you don't hail from Canada or Montreal (although I'm delighted that your family decided to settle there, it still seems more artistic than Toronto) ... Your genetics and epigenetics, and thus much of the ramifications of your music talent, hail from sophisticated music and artistry in sophisticated societies way back in time - maybe 5,000 years, when Canada was just rocks, rivers and forests. My compliments and thanks to your family for nurturing, facilitating and supporting your talents, your gifts to the world!
Excuse me but I'm way older than you and can't resist adding my congrats to Mom and Dad for naming you "Sophia" because you most obviously are "Sophisticated Sophia" ... pls laff, don't roll your eyes!
The sound the boucles are so clear! bravo! You should register the inventions thé the six partitas and finally the Goldberg variations which are so inspirâted but finally bit so difficult
Et cette jeune fille avait à peine 15 ans lors de ce concours, elle est née en octobre 2008 ! L'air du Canada serait-il favorable à l'épanouissement de pianistes exceptionnels ? Quelle maturité dans la technique ! Une belle articulation, un bel équilibre main droite main gauche et un tempo régulier, Glenn Gould a t-il soufflé sur son berceau ?
