Excellent! Bravo!
Amazing playing!
Superb. Quite breathtaking to see such a mature and self-assured performance by such a young person. Such masterful and sensitive playing.
Quelle élégance, quelle sobriété et quelle poétique expression dans cette 1ère Ballade! Toute l'âme de Chopin est là.
Appreciate this very much!
Прекрасно!Браво!
Marvellous..!
Lovely, thank you.
His wonderful performance is a inspirational gem, and will quench and moisturize the dryness of the soul
It is interesting to compare this recital with Jayson Gillham's in the same Festival. In the Chopin etudes Jayson was prepared to take risks, even at the expense of wrong notes. It was as if he were discovering them in the moment. Kevin isn't that kind of player. An impeccable technique, he plays as if he doesn't want to let go of his remarkable control. He is still a very young man of course, so it will be interesting to see if he becomes more of a discoverer. He comes across as the competition prizewinner he undoubtedly is, but I would prefer a little more 'danger' and personal stamp on the music.
A wonderful, satisfying performance. Great pianist/musician!
Am grandiosesten scheint mir sein Schumann zu sein neben dem wunderbar klaren Scarlatti!!!❤
The amazing and brilliant Kevin Chen!
