You had to give an extra mark to Yunchan for the SMILE at the beginning of the Feux Follet!

[melinaanibarro]

Yunchan's Feux Follets was the first i had ever heard of the piece. There were moments i laughed out loud due to sheer amazement because i had never heard a piano sound like that alive before nor had I seen a pianist be that into the music.

[Daramji]

Oh my! I’ve been really waited your another comment about Yunchan’s What a gift👍😍

[게임일기-qv]

Thank you so much for posting another video about Yun Chan

[shatin]

This piece is Russlll Sherman's life time repertoire. He is the teacher of Minsoo Sohn(Yunchan Lim's teacher)
Yunchan said he will dedicate this rendition to Russell Sherman just before the sem-i final playing, texted Minsoo Sohn. How can i think this young boy is only 18? He's so thoughtful & warm. He can appreciate to others really.
Some people say Yunchan is 108 or 1008 years old actually.

Congrats! Ben. Your last video view hits record.

It was Really FUN. LOL.
Can't wait until Next Weekend!!!!

[Varooooooom]

5:13 - Worth noting that Lim plays those final chords slower than most. I definitely believe him when he says he needed that break between Etudes No.4 and No.5.

[Shibaboy]

Can't wait to see your breakdown for Yunchan's Liszt performance at the Cliburn..next weekend can't come soon enough!!

[vankirby]

Thank you so much for uploading this entertaning video and I'm so thrilled at the prospect of seeing your next video again.

[Daniel_Zalman]

This was great. We need more entertaining videos like this to get youngsters (to use an old timey term) into classical music.

[gavinroberts]

Thank you for the inimitably named SPBMAFF Competition!

With the greatest respect, and as I'm sure you will appreciate, the competition fails to appreciate one important consideration!

Dear Yun Chan, you can take as long as you like to do pretty much whatever takes your fancy! 😆

[gojiberry]

How humorous Ben is... became a fan of Ben's sense of humor.

[InochinoMichi]

Analysis of how famous pianists play certain pieces are amazing! We need more videos like that

[StacyMG]

Ah I've been waiting for this. Thank you!!!

[ronigbzjr]

Such a silly geeky classical music video. Love it!

[tonyventura]

We’re still patiently waiting for Ben’s analysis of Yunchan’s transcendental études..

[roberty]
