Check out the fingers - especially the thumbs - on Da Sol Kim - amazing!

He seems to play with a lower wrist and much flatter fingers than the norm.

Kim sounds much more individual than Huganci, as it seems. he changed his hair-do from QEC, looked more masculine now.

He is not doing the staccato notes as written.

I want to confess that despite my utter ignorance of the polish language, I like this style of presentation far better than the Cliburn. Muuuuchhh less schmaltz and camera in the face of the contestant before, during and after.. Even though I do not get the comments, they seem to be focused on the details of the performance and not the sob story or the cooking prowesses of any individual..
I know, IMHO etc.. but seriously, what do you think? I agree, I disliked watching the Super Bowl - uh, I mean the Cliburn.

I think Kim is a step above Huangci.

I agree, I disliked watching the Super Bowl - uh, I mean the Cliburn. i feel the same. even some pianists were not comfortable with media in your face approach then, and some even refused to be interviewed. this is much better, focusing on performance of each individual instead.

The commentators are really focusing on Da Sol Kim's performance. Wish I could understand what they say.

By the way, if you want to insert the online broadcast of this competition on your site, you could easily do that using this code: <div> <object width="685" height="420" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://cm2.atmitv.pl/ContentManager/swf/Player.swf"> <param name="movie" value="http://cm2.atmitv.pl/ContentManager/swf/Player.swf"></param> <param value="false" name="menu"></param> <param value="true" name="allowFullScreen"></param> <param value="always" name="allowScriptAccess"></param> <param value="m=http://cm2.atmitv.pl/ContentManager/utilitiesGetFlashPlayList.go?id=1239&a=0&sp=1&h=ELK&l=http://cm2.atmitv.pl/ContentManager/img/player-skins/blue.png&f=http://cm2.atmitv.pl/ContentManager/swf/Player.swf" name="flashvars"></param> <embed flashVars="m=http://cm2.atmitv.pl/ContentManager/utilitiesGetFlashPlayList.go?id=1239&a=0&sp=1&h=ELK&l=http://cm2.atmitv.pl/ContentManager/img/player-skins/blue.png&f=http://cm2.atmitv.pl/ContentManager/swf/Player.swf" src="http://cm2.atmitv.pl/ContentManager/swf/Player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="685" height="420"></embed> </object> </div> Enjoy!

She has good tone quality, but not so much in direction of music.

I've been watching a few minutes, I don't know who is playing, Sudo I think, but I find her playing quite charming.
Also, I find her technique admirable, a great deal of fingerwork from a relatively stable hand, less vertical movement than usual. An approach that corresponds well with Chopin, she's been around people who know.

Very good! But I wished for more fire, more passion, more tension.

I saw the italian girl this morning and the japanese girl later today (briefly). Both of them played tthe mazurkas way too fast and sort of valse like.
I still haven´t heard a mazurka that i really feel. Yes, note perfect and all .... but something lacks.
Regarding the first prize, if Blechacz sets the latest standard, i don't think anyone i ve seen this year comes close to him.
