You gotta love this kid; he's all heart! I love the musical and rhythmical risk taking. His approach and mannerisms remind me of the great Andre Watts, also a risk taker who can't keep his face from moving!

[sarra_tonin]

WOW. Beautiful rendition. What I've been waiting for all year.

[sobakakustovsky]

His playing is so wonderfully, exuberant, energetic and bright. Even his wrong notes are played with so much passion and therefore don't bother me.

[gerdlindlar]

he gives a structure to all lines of the composition. that is apart from his passion and melodical art absolutely beautiful! what a wonderful artist!

Uno no piensa en dificultades técnicas, sólo dejarse llevar por su música. ¡Este pianista está tocado por la Gracia!

정밀한 기술을 뽐내기 바쁜 콩쿨에서 이런 자유로움과 자신만의 색채를 내뿜는 연주자를 발견하는 경험은 대단히 즐겁다. 세상에 없는 유니크함, 깨끗한 물을 한껏 들이마시듯 갈증이 가시는 느낌. 이번 대회에서 발견한 보석. 당신의 미래에 거는 기대가 큽니다. 🥰

[cyndyz]

I got my favorite version of Polonaise, too!

[robertocarvalhodemagalhaes]

Finally a contestant who doesn't play just notes.

[yukiusagiusagi]

音楽って最後はそういうものではないでしょうか？
彼のインタビューにもとても興味深い人間性を感じています。

[blaht]

There it is, the probably most difficult thing in Chopin, to NOT exaggerate with RUBATO. But, a very good performance overall

[FranzIiszt]

미스터치만 없었다면 연주자와 같이 몰입해서 들을 수 있었을 듯 한데... 좋은 연주였지만
뭔가 한편으론 아쉬움이 남아요 ㅠㅠ

[innsbruglai]

무리수를 많이 둔 곡해석!ㅠㅠ
결론은 너무 멀리 갔다는것!
게다가 수많은 미스터치

[Kim-fvbn]

His playing should have been more disappoint wIth this playing a little....But I agree that his interpretation is so unique and attractive....

[benburch]

i really like the way this guy plays this polonaise, but the wrong notes start to detract just a little bit unfortunately.

[parronist]

Jeden z moich ulubionych uczestników. Cieszę się, że stanął na podium zwycięzców. ❤

[toshiosasaki]

If you compare this performance with Kyohei Sorita's performance, you can clearly see the difference in tone between FAZIOLI and STAINWAY.

[wheres_wolfie]

Prefer Avdeeva. Garcia feels tame and bland in comparison

[danielgarciagarcia]

Polonaise héroïque really played in a heroic way. As it should be.

[chothebest]

Maybe a little bit too unique? Strong shadow of his personality…

[jorgegutierreztellez]

Hola. Creo que es una interpretación algo sucia. Todavía estaba en una etapa en la que se veía lo artístico de García García, y no lo buen pianista que podía llegar a ser sin tanto aspaviento. Sin embargo, me gusta su técnica. Algo descontrolada pero... no es la peor polonesa del concurso. Muy bien, García García! Otra peculiaridad de su interpretación es lo brillante de su sonido.
