<p>Xie Tianjian<br />Good, strong Haydn. A little too “directly” strong. It is a very virtuosic piece requiring high precision, which was not always there. Very nice sense of rhythm, good pedal. </p><p>Liszt: The beginning was a little too “present” and loud. I believe, you should find a more mysterious way to start this piece and immediately engage your listeners’ imagination.</p><p>The middle slow part of Scherzo I enjoyed the most from your whole program. It made it clear to me how talented and capable you are. Your phrasing and ability to listen and follow the line was genuine. </p><p>You have very good bases such as effortless physics, nice technique and fine sense of style. List goes on. But today your program was simply not fully polished and detailed. There were more than few wrong notes throughout your program included some wrongly learned ones in each piece. You need to work harder to be successful in your career. You are talented and you deserve success. It’s in your hands. Good luck.</p>
