Your comments!
the beginning is beautifully blended together, synchronization between the piano and the orchestra. while the two are very different, I think this equilibrium can only be achieved by a great pianist and orchestra. I enjoyed this piece a lot
Second piece:
3rd movement
Yun chan lim
The Beginning of the 3rd movement is really fast, and yet lunch an lim handles it really well and plays it extremely accurately. I enjoy the melody the orchestra creates. at 36:30, there is a very beautiful solo, that really stands out. The ending of this piece is really nice and I like it.
