Tiffany Poon - Chopin Nocturne Op.27 No.2 (2018) 

I'm not a musician nor a trained professional in the field but I am an avid listener of Chopin and have witnessed dozens of performances and listened to countless CDs. I've even had the privilege of staying at home with one of the "top 10" Chopin pianists. It's really unfair for anyone to play any classical work nowadays because listeners have likely listened to the very best in the world before. Anyway, I've been following this channel for quite some months now and I am deeply impressed at Tiffany Poon's subtlety and her combination of emotion and precision. Thank you, miss Poon, for allowing us to watch you play one of my favorite nocturnes. I suspect that you will be considered one of the greats ("will be" because you're still young). On top of that, you also seem to be a very nice and generous person.

Your hands look like they’re floating, yet the sound is so clear...

I really don't know what it's about you but every video that you upload sounds perfect to me. Not only technically, but there is no other way I would interpret the pieces. Your interpretations are just PERFECT to me.

Don't know what chopin was thinking when he was doing this piece, but it's just a perfect balance between peace, joy and a little bit of melancholy, at least for me. I loved how you played this piece, congrats! 💚

This piece is just too beautiful to exist

How do you keep your sound so heavenly light yet even and smooth?

Beautiful & Beautiful.

It is not the same to hear a recording as to watch the pianist perform the piece. The performance itself is art. Watching Tiffany play evokes so many emotions, it is like she is the extension of the piano...the brain behind the mechanical hammers and strings...as a soul puts life into an otherwise lifeless body...

This is my favorite Chopin Nocturne. Thanks for sharing!

I just realized this was posted 3 years ago today. SO beautiful.

I have listened to this countless times. Might be my favourite piece ever >_

Gentle, soothing, drawing me into blissful peace and contentment is how I would describe listening to Tiffany play this piece. But that is just part of the pleasure. Watching her fingers float and dance gracefully over the keyboard adds to the above sensations from listening. Thirdly, watching the graceful flowing and floating over the keyboard is like watching the exquisite motion of highly skilled dancers who put their heart and soul into their performance. The combined effect of the above: mesmerizing.

Chopin at his finest. Congratulations for such a heartful performance.

Thank you so much, Miss Tiffany - listening to you from Brazil!. This was 6 minutes of auditive bliss! Thank you for making this ugly and difficult world (often) a better place to live.

My favorite Chopin nocturne. Thank you

Love the part from 0:44 - 01:47 the most！I compared different pianist’s interpretations of the same section. Turn out, I think this is the most sentimental version and it touched me a lot.

God bless Chopin and Tiffany Poon. Wonderful just wonderful!

WOW. this is pure joy, I rarely see Chopin played this finely. thank you so much for this. love from singapore!

i’m playing this piece, and it’s my birthday. WHAT A GIFT😍🙂😀

It's raining with thunder, lighting, and winds here in Los Angeles right now, and I've always thought this performance would be perfect for that scenario. Turns out I was right. Thank you for this stellar work!

At the crux of this piece such a light-fingered interpretation is where we mortals can only dream of...

Bravo!. I have been working on this piece the last 6 months...Your interpretation sheds new light on how to understand this piece...your performance is inspiring...Thank you❤

The most beautiful version of Chopin pieces.

Somehow the RU-vid algorithm recommended your channel and I'm very happy to hear these performances. You are amazing! You must be an old soul to play with such depth and grace for your tender age. Bravo!

Wow, I'm not even that big of a fan of Chopin, but this was just sublime.

Words are failing me to express my love and wonder for your music-making. Your playing of this nocturne is ethereal and passionate at once. Thank You.

Absolutely beautiful Chopin composition so nicely played by Tiffany Poon. At the end I clapped, it was so good !!

i find this to be the best interpretation of this piece; the dynamics and just everything about it is lovely. i find the way you play this piece perfectly! i listen to you play this piece at least four times a day, i can never get enough of it. thank you for playing such beautiful fine music, tiffany. i aspire to be as great and impressive as you are.

My all time favorite performance of the nocturnes is by Brigitte Engerer. You are the first pianist who played this nocturne equaly beautiful to me. Thank you. I like the fact, that you never slow down too much. You always keep the pulse of the music steady. And you have a nice tone production and articulation. Maybe these are the reasons why I like your Bach playing too. I subscribed.

I'm so glad I started supporting you on Patreon, your music so filled with emotions and so rich, truly capturing the composers spirit.

I am just astonished by the modulations going on in this performance. Thank you so much for posting.

Tiffany!!!!!!!!!!! The most beautiful interpretation never seen😍😍

Hard to not fall in love with this channel... Beautiful interpretation, just wow....

This is one of my favourite interpretations of this recording and one of my favourite pieces! Your touch and tone control is just insane! It’s exactly how I would want interpret it and want it to be interpreted but much better!

Thank you. One of the best performances I've heard. You are very light on the keys, I love it.

Hello Tiffany! Very like. I'm not a musician by profession. But almost everything you do I like very much. I listen in the morning and afternoon and evening and night. Thanks Tiffany. I wish you health, happiness of creative success.

nice job Tiff! you are a truley inspiring member of our species, your sheer capacity for tender emotional expression when you play is just beyond comprehension

Fluidity. Beautiful.

So beautiful

You seem like a very happy and maybe even childish person on your talk videos, but when you play you are just something more than an ordinary human being.

Earth cannot hold Chopin. At the end, he rises up and floats away. This is my favorite of all his works.

Absolutely wonderful!! 💖🤩

I saw this when I was young. Fell in love with the piece. I finally just finished playing this.

I'm listening recordings of this piece since I'll start studying it, and I really like the dynamic and how smooth and tranquil it's played. For sure one of my reference interpretations 😉

Your interpretation in this one is one of the most interesting i've ever heard. Like, really. You gave such a gentle touch that made every phrase sound interesting and mature. What is the kind of feeling you tried to achieve with your interpretation? Can you talk about the most challenging aspects that you faced to be able to get to the sound you intended? By the way, congratulations, I think you are among the best!

Awesome Tiffany...my favourite short piano piece! Played beautifully...thank you!

How the hell is possible to compose such a beauty?I wonder every time...

You play with such ease, how can it be so heavenly?

Every time I listen to your playing I am mesmerized. Thank you for sharing

At first I thought she was playing the piano, then I thought the piano was playing her, then I realized this was the first time I heard a relationship going back and forth between two entities. They are both playing each other!! I have seen and heard many pianists but none quite like this.

This is my favorite chopin nocturne. Thank you so much for playing so beautifully. This is truly captivating.

Beautifully played. Stupendous

I think this is my favorite piece by Chopin. I love listening to you play Chopin. Please make more :p .

I love your interpretation of this piece! Perfection to me! ♡

Here in Brazil it's Carnival today, but I'm listening to Chopin!

Tiffany, this is one of my absolute favorite pieces, both to play and to listen to. I love your interpretation! Sensitive and elegant!

We all receive love and love, Chopin and Tiffany Poon.

Thank you for your music. It has made my learning of programming data analytics less painful!

Tiffany, resta sempre la mia preferita!

Beautifully done. Very tranquil and quite captivating.

Once again beautiful Tiffany and her delicate playing.Thanks Tiffany.

I do listen every night. I love it.

My favorite Nocturne!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 So peaceful and emotional 👌

You really captured, understand, and express the story of the song. Each song you play.

Love performance, Lady. Just magician job, thank you Lady, with love from New Jersey, USA

You should release a new CD! This performance is incredibly beautiful! >

The sound is clean and tranquil.

As a teacher/performer for over 30 years.... I.... I . . . I love you.. .

Bellissima .... ogni nota ... un messaggio raggiunge l'animo Brava .... appassionata ...ma semplice... come tutte le cose belle!

So sweet sorrow...I like your Chopin the most~Thank you very much.

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!! So beautiful

But seriously, your pieces are awesome! I wish I was standing in that room with you sitting in front of that piano. Hearing these pieces in person must sound even better.

Von welchem Himmel bist du auf die Erde herabgestiegen, eine weitere Träne!

I just sit, pay attention and fly.... the world become perfect during the time you are playing. Thank you 🎵🎶🙏🏼

perfect uplifting as usual. Tiffany you're magnificent

Just when I thought there is absolutely no way you could possibly play it any better, you play it even better. You're awesome!

I am learning this exquisite piece and hope to someday achieve something resembling your amazing interpretation of it!

Bravo Tiffany.

Wow i really love that sound!

This is not playing Chopin, this is being Chopin! ❤️

Absolutely beautiful. ❤

Perfect! Many pianists interpret this too harshly. I hope I can play this one day with 5% of your technique and emotion!

so good!!

BEAUTIFUL expression!

I feel so spoiled by Tiffany's huge collections of the recordings. just want to say Thank you Tiffany.

Your performances are all so beautiful. Listening to them heals my soul. Thank you for all you do!!

I'm drunk, it's 3:30 in the morning and this feels so soothing yet has strong sense of panache to it! There's just something about the way each note is pronounced, its a beautiful feeling ❤

Wow what a beautiful Chopin performance ! :) Thumps up !

Beautiful!

Amazing, tender and divine .....thank you.

Tiffany, this is so beautiful. Thank you for your performance, you inspire me everyday

Thank you for playing this. It's one of my favorite pieces. So lyrical! I love the little romantic "duet" near the end. Good luck and I hope to see you play in real life one day.

Just wonderful. What a delight to listen to.

I know you have a beautiful mind through your music. Would love to keep your channel as it is, dedicated to the art of piano and music in its pure form. Thank you.

Beautiful and very big smile. Thank you

Always beautiful to hear you play.
