I can understand why Hayato Sumino didn't get through, he was very nervous and he had many mistouches and mistakes in the third round. However his playing amazed me, the sounds were so clear and playful and they just sparkled. I also felt he embodied the spirit of the composer performer - he was able to play with the sounds in a way that some other performers struggled to do. You can tell he just adores playing piano and loves music in all its forms. I think he can be very happy with his performance.

You forget that the jury consists of famous pianists and professors who specialize in Chopin. They are there for a reason. And it's hard to find contestants who didn't have lessons with them simply because they are among the best you can learn from. For instance the head of the jury, Ms. Popowa-Zydroń became a juror for the first time AFTER her student, Rafał Blechacz, won the competition.

From the Polish Press… “Commentators paid special attention to the exceptionally high level of this year's edition. The participants were characterized not only by technical efficiency and musicality. Among them, one could also find many exceptional musical personalities. The greatest of them won. According to journalist Adam Rozlach, "the whole performance [of Bruce Liu] was a display of art, skill, and sense of Chopin's music". The director of the Fryderyk Chopin Institute, Artur Szklener admitted that the first prize for the Canadian "was beyond any doubt from the beginning of the discussion after the final". The journalist Jacek Hawryluk also spoke in a similar vein, noting that "Liu was a definite favorite of the competition from the first stage." According to Krzysztof Stefanski, the Canadian “is a complete pianist. He has a phenomenal technique that allows him to bring out the most amazing colors from the piano ”.

After hearing them I knew they were going to the finals. Pity though that the third pianist who impressed me got sick. I must say that I was surprised I did not tire of hearing the same pieces by Chopin played again and again and again. Each pianist played them differently.

Parker did not make it past the elimination round so he never participated in stage 1 though I think he is talented and should have.

The most musically amazing etude award should go to Marcin Wieczorek. Listen to his performance in priminary, he plays 10-12 and 25-5 amazingly. Also Jacek Wendler performed in the same session and he should win the most Chopin-like outfit award.

I had a good internal chuckle at the mention of Cateen as a "kitchy pop pianist". He may not have gone all the way in the competition, but I bet he hardly cares when he posts whatever he wants (because he can play anything he wants) on his youtube channel ot the delight of hundreds of thousands.

Canteen is a gifted pianist. But anyone who has ever studied in a conservatory wouldn’t put him in the top 12. The field is way of his league. Even Cho wouldn’t have won.

@@LC-ig2jm "Even Cho wouldn't have won" are you insane? Seong Jin-Cho has studied under Michel Beroff and has been given the highest score by all the jurors, despite one consistently giving him ridiculous scores. He still won the competition by large margin. First you're talking smack about Sumino... but now Cho? I won't allow it. Cho has been described by even Zimmerman to be one of the finest young musicians of this age.

The one person I can't agree on is Jakub Kuszlik, for me, hearing him live at the competition, he'd never become a finalist. There were far more talented or interesting pianists, Hayato Sumino for example.

I think that Hayato has been underestimated, his emotional approach to Chopin's music, his performances are charged with positive energy, lightness and the way he presents the works of this greatest composer allows you to soak up the sounds and enjoy the music

I agree that Aristo Sham deserved A prize for the best performance of an Etude! Apart from his great playing of etude in F major Op.10, no.8, Aristo has also given an even more fantastic performance of Etude in C major, Op.10, no.7 at the preliminary stage!

At 17.11 you say "Although there's some dispute as to whether that's a sped- up video", regarding Richter's hair- raising performance of the c# minor etude. But how can it be disputed? It's immediately apparent to any musician that the film is is sped up- the result being that it sounds a semitone higher ie in d minor.

The Kuszlik performance of the b minor Sonata is well played and really shines in the Largo movement but he doesn't feel the meaning of "maestoso." in the opening phrases of the first movement. Also, the more lively moments of this performance seem a bit rushed and without feeling. There are much better performances of this sonata on record.

Please, you need the "WORST BACK POSITION, WHICH WILL PARALYZE YOUR FUTURE" It's incredible how many pianist you notice with bad back position...curved backs, shoulder joints blocked...with time it will trouble their playing. You should make a video about this. You play with your back as much as with your fingers.
