queen elisatbeth piano contest, finals part II - 280510

and we have a winner :) - ok, 5th place it turned out, should've been a bit higher - yesterday's performance of kim tae-hyung was breath-taking, and every commentator agreed that it was magical (normally they all differ on opinions, yesterday one labeled saint-saens concerto as outdated, when another counted it to his favorites) .. first beethoven 6th sonate, and from the start he took your attention .. next the mandatory work, which normally does not sound that interesting, but he made you listen .. and then finally brahm's first piano concerto, a 45 minute piece .. and although the tv-sound doesn't come close to hearing it live, i was happy to have seen this .. the nicest part was after the last note, when the pianist got up and was noticeable moved himself .. this went straight to ..
