November 2009
The available link will take you to my recital from Forte de Copacabana in Rio, last August. Of particular note is the performance of “Aquarelo do Brasil”, which I had so much fun preparing. The Brazilian audience was very appreciative of it, and I remember these ladies asking me all week to play it again for them. The program as you can see was almost all Chopin, in my preparation for the eventual Warsaw trip. Hope you enjoy!

Anyone who dares to play Beethoven's last Piano Sonata Opus 111 must be fearless and confident in his skills. In the case of Thomas Yu, both are true...[He] plays the piece with elegance and depth...and his interpretation was the highlight of the festival day.
