Big BRAVO, Kevin. Thanks for sharing your wonderful musical insights and talents. I enjoyed every piece from the start to the end. Too bad there wasnt an encore piece. But that's quite all right. Good luck on your musical journey!
Need to check the subtitles between Mendelssohn and Bartok's song. Anyway, I'm very glad to see this young talent!! 🥰
He is an amazing talent who has composed 100 symphonies and also has won the first prize in the interna:tional Litzt competition as the youngest ever. A genius!!!
Wielkie gratulacje to piękne wykonanie.. powodzenia w kształtowaniu dalszej kariery ale przede wszystkim duszy artysty bo wtedy dotrzesz do dusz tych którzy kochają muzykę. Powodzenia …pięknie wygrałes Sonatę ..i nie tylko…Przyjedź do Warszawy …by przekazać swoją interpretację Chpina

Absolument FABULEUX. Quelle énergie ! tant juvenil et déjà au maxi des prouesses musicales. Vraiment incroyable ! Un Hyper BRAVO Monsieur CHEN. Bonne Chance pour votre futur !
Simply stunning!
bravoo 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I went to high school with this guy. Really humble 🙂
Bravo !!!!!
Genius. I've never seen anything like this in one so young.
Obviously a talent. I hope he doesn't indulge the bad habit of grimacing and swooning and more than he's shown here.
Why isn't that lazy audience on its feet?
Beethoven rendu à lui-même, au-delà de toute manière : la musique à l'état pur. Superbe !
Congratulations!
