Good to have Tiffany at the 'helm' to navigate us through a potentially frightening depth of emotional intellectuality associated with music composition and philosophy. Interesting to learn more.

Or I enjoyed?(when an my spot ..no

You found a kindred spirit! Pleasure to meet you Sofia, found your YT channel will definitely listen to the pieces that you posted.

Warum I com out was say masefs an Easter letter~5 year back..

There's something terribly wrong with your audio! Frequently there is a crashing noise or whooshing that is frighteningly startling. Please see what you can to to make it stop. Because if you can't, I'll not watch your videos any more. Thank you.

Very lovely chat indeed! I enjoyed the thoughts on how a piece can evolve as people interact with it. While I get the desire to not limit the perception of art by explaining it, I personally have understood much more about it, and enjoyed it more, from listening to discussions by nice people such as both of you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and good luck in your future endeavors.

Wow, I had no idea Tiffany studied philosophy. Nice to see her expanding her involvement with classical music with interviews such as this.

Why is this joke of a video showing up as a recommendation for me? Literally most boring and pointless video

Sofia - an impressive young lady; very mature, quite deep, brings out some very good points. Thank you, Tiffany! (And I am particularly impressed by Sofia's and Tiffany's command of English language, as I am familiar a little with the deep intrinsic barrier between Sinitic and Indo-European languages; the barrier I have been trying to traverse in the opposite direction.) One advice to Sofia (we old people love to give advice): (i) Listen to the voices, the whispers from your heart, (ii) Throw aside all cliches, Western and Eastern, that constrain you and go ahead boldly!

nice

" I thought composers were dead." 😂🤗

Great interview. Really enjoyable to listen to. I guess there is much more resonance with speaking to someone with a similar educational background. I particularly enjoyed "As if sharing a joke with nothingness" and "Insects"!

100/10

ああ、せっかくのインタビューなのに何を言っているのかさっぱりわからない😂 18日に王子ホールに行ってきます🎉

What piece?

Nice

what a beautiful interview. Er - one thing - how does she both manage to play the piano perfectly AND interview so professionally, also? Where does the maestro find the time?

Zlatomir came to hk awhile ago

Maestro Kevin and maestra Tiffany: very nice match !... (Both musician ànd philosopher) Good luck to Kevin with Shostakovich N° 1 in the "Queen Elisabeth Competition", Brussels, may 2024... We are looking forward to it... Thanks anyway for the moving music !

People with teachers and professors as parents have such a huge advantage learning the arts of their parent's specialty! Lucky woman :)

Such a fun piece!!

We're all searching for meaning... wonderful interview :)

I was taking voice lessons briefly too and was surprised how important piano education is in learning music in general...

Really interesting interview. He seems like a decent and cool guy.

Opus 57 was his most creative Sonata IMHO. Always enjoy your talks as they are well thought out and concise.

Nice

🎹 Never too old to learn music. Thank for the inspiration. Great chatting in the heart of music❤😊

any plans to get classical chats on other podcast platforms? (spotify, etc.) 👀

maybe it's a good thing he didn't take piano lessons. wish Tiffany had answered his question about music feeling kind of "disposable" with its easy availability

Thanks for this talk!

Me too I did not see the hunters or the wolf

Great interview and fascinating to hear Zlatomir's experience and musical insights. Thank you Tiffany for recording this!

This is a truly fantastic interview with Zlatormir. Thank you Tiffany. 🎼🎵🎶🎹

You have the option to not mention....No,no,no... 🤣🤣

I think this may be my new favorite one of these chats. I was going to watch it in segments, but the time just flew by. You and he challenged each other a lot in this chat, so I think we ended up learning a lot about BOTH of you.

Tiffany好靚

what a great interviewer Tiffany is. Of course, she is an even better pianist. In my opinion she is the best of all the younger generation of pianists - and on a par with Lisitsa, Volodos etc. She far surpasses Wang. Just my opinion. But my teacher (from Gnessin) comes from the Beethoven AND Tchaikovsky lineage.

Man I wish he finished all of the preludes the 3 he has are so good

Can you have this deep aesthetic experience if you don't play music or understand the players' achievement?

I ship you

27:34 someone should tell this man about capitalism

Fung has won the most prestigious competition in the world. So long as he maintains his standard his career is pretty much assured, yet he acts as if he’s almost embarrassed and ashamed every time the Tchaikovsky Competition comes up and says he’d like to get to a point where nobody ever talks about his victory. Why? There’s nothing shameful about his triumph. This interview is actually very revealing - he is a troubled soul. He tries to be charming by telling Tiffany she’s an inspiration to him, but it quickly backfires because when she asks him what he likes about her work, or why he finds his history professor inspiring he can’t answer the question. The praise appears to be disingenuous. There are many edits to this conversation, one can’t help but wonder what was left out and why. I’m left with the impression Fung might be clinically depressed. He is self-loathing and in a deep state of despair about his perceived inadequacies as a cellist. He’s pessimistic about the future of classical music, severely stressed about the difficult, rootless travelling lifestyle he is currently forced to live, and frustrated by how superficial audiences can be. At times he gives us the impression that he experiences profound joy and fulfilment from the profundity of fine Art music, but relationship with great art is thrown into question when he talks enthusiastically about the one Artist that almost everyone who loves classical music wants to get away from - Taylor Swift. Those who retreated to this tiny corner of the internet hoping they would be safe from hearing any discussion about Swift will be disappointed, there is no escape from pubescent, superficial music being forced into every corner of our lives by her label - a corporate giant. Like everyone who wins the Tchaikovsky Competition Fung is an utterly brilliant instrumentalist. I hope he finds better mental health in the future, but will he? The lifestyle he is living is extremely challenging both mentally and physically. Is it actually worth the toll it is taking on his mind and body?

A charming and thought-provoking discussion. Gave me a real insight into a world so different from my own.

Great interview! Thank you both!
