No longer with tonebase? What happened?

Ben, thank you for sharing that. I watched this clip a months ago replying now. As a music producer I dare to say that Yunchan is a perfect, divine combination of young Pogorelich and great Horowitz. The future for Art is bright!

윤찬이 건강하게 오래 연주를 들려주기를. 세계 클래식계가 그를 상업적으로 이용하지않고 아껴주기를. 그의 진가가 더 빛을 발하기를 기도합니다.

Jaw-dropped. Doesn’t even seem humanly possible. Divine!

Just saw the yunchan lim rach 3 concert in Boston and it was incredible. I would argue it was even better than his competition recording.

Yunchan was stupendous at his Carnegie Hall debut last night. The op 25 etudes were among the very best of the last 2 decades.

Finally a commentator who doesn't say this or that is great but tells the listener,musician,the pianist,the student WHY!!!

@spongie7403 2 years ago (edited)

I never grow tired of listening to Yunchan’s music or to you going on and on about his excellence.

The imagination in Lim's playing is equal to Richter. This guy is not even 20 yet. How can anyone have so much energy and yetbe graceful,suave ,exact,subtlety. He has it all! I didn't think Id ever hear playing as exciting as Josef Hofmann 's. And he has better taste !

You mentioned the courageous use of staccato in Romantic music. I agree 100%. This occasional use of dry clarity is what I've always loved about Horowitz. It really adds to the excitement, drama, and contrast of sections.

I grew up with the knowledge that Liszt wrote the most difficult piano pieces... and they are fantastic to listen to... also Lim is one of the greatest ever...

Yunchan's "High Definition" playing as you put it, taking care of every musical "pixel" to get a sharp musical image when zoomed out is undoubtedly the end result of practicing meticulously all day and night before and during the competition. He was recording and sending clips of his playing to his teacher for advice and feedback in the early hours of the morning, to which he pleaded him to go to sleep haha. His perfectionism, sheer dedication and work ethic is insane, I just hope that he doesn't burn himself out and takes care of himself so we can enjoy his sensational music making for years and decades to come!

I'm your Korean fan. Thank you so much. Thanks to your explanation, I was able to understand Yoonchan's performance well.

Thank you sooo much for Yunchan series. His performances never fails to give me goosebumps, tears, and heart palpitations.

Thank you for making this video describing Yunchan's music with such intelligence and respect while most of us just remain speechless.

Congratulations on launching your new channel! I’m excited to subscribe and support your content. I’m revisiting the memorable performances of Yunchan Lim from the 2022 Van Cliburn competition. Thank you for your dedication and hard work in providing us with top-quality material. It was definitely worth the wait. Thank you, thank you!

Listened to Yunchan’s recording of the 24 Chopin Etudes yesterday. They are truly astounding. Inner voices one would never imagine, yet they never interfere with the musical cohesiveness. He seems to take them all to another level. Sometimes the brilliance is unprecedented and sometimes the subtleties are unsurpassed. All this st age 18. Incredible!

Ben Laude. Please don’t stop making videos. It’s fantastic

Your humour is very humorous. On a more serious note, the dedication at the end to Joe Patrych was beautiful. Thank you Ben
