This boy has so much grace and skill. It's marvellous to see what being a supportive father can do for someone like Sum.

[alidabaxter]

He's an adorable and incredibly talented little boy and watching his father trying desperately not to cry was very moving. As Brad said, "what will he be like when he's my age".

I manage a small atelier style art school in Hong Kong, where we have many students like Sum who possess talent, intelligence and charm. Some play music brilliantly, some dance with the confidence of a person twice their age.. and we have some who can do it all: play music, draw/paint, dance and play sports...and do very well in school... most are around Sum's age... I look forward to following his early journey as a musician and performer. He is a winner.

When the American pianist & componist Emily Bear was age 8 she was invited by Lang Lang to come to China for two concerts on TV. This concerts are made to Masterclasses for professional pianist and piano studends.

Did you forget? He’s only six years old!!!

I'm always concerned when I see very young piano players that they have been bullied into it by pushy parents, but seeing his father's pride and emotions barely under control, his sentiment seem to be entirely for his son's wellbeing.

Someone needs to work on the mixing of the piano. Got to be one of the driest and dynamicless recordings I've come across...
