Yike (Tony) Yang - Ballade in F minor Op. 52 (third stage) 

Also keep in mind, this 16 year old made it to the finals of the Chopin Competition with “YES” from every single jury member... he deserves it wholly

Best Ballade no. 4 I've heard!

One of the very best I've ever heard, much better than a lot of big names. And he's only 16 then. Amazing.

the ending is hilarious. i love how immediately after the piece finishes, a bunch of people who were holding in coughs started coughing

지나온 삶의 아련한 추억이 느껴진다고 해야하나..볼때마다 너무 감동적인 연주

Maybe the best 4th ballade of the entire competition

AWESOME PERFORMANCE OF THE CHOPIN F MINOR.

it sounds like magic

Bravo Tony & Yamaha!Lovely music!

Bravo!! Such stage presence and sound projection! A real joy!

Jak dobrze tego posłuchać:)

Você é maravilhoso!!!!!!!

from 9:00 it's with great emotion.Amazing！

Reconforta el espíritu.....

Wonderful!

Bravo! I like your interpretation and expression so much.

가장 다채로운 소리가 나는듯. 야마하 피아노를 사용한 사람중에선..!! 너무 소리가 깊고 다양해

THE BEST!

awesome !

Beautiful beyond words , woooooow

bravo!

6:29 Wrong note? or is he referring to a different type of score?

It almost sounds like Krystian Zimmerman’s version. Maybe he took inspiration from Zimmerman’s rendition?

10:35 Vibrato on piano 😂

Wowowowow

Third best Ballade #4 I've ever heard. And in some places, it was probably a bit more creative. Second best was Soyeon Lee at Esther Honens a few years back. And Best is by Phil Best; though he took his version off RU-vid and he plays it on a digital. Best interprets it most like I think Chopin would've on his best day.
