Beautifully played dear Elisey! Enjoy your stay in USA where you have many fans and well wishers. Your English is excellent too! Good luck in the competition this week, I’m sure you will excel. Much love from Seattle!
Dear Elisey, This was delivered BRILLIANTLY !!!!!! I am impressed with your English, and appreciate you telling us about yourself, you seem well rounded young man with a wonderful gift for music. Many people in USA are following you with affectionate appreciation. I hope your stay in USA is good. I envy all that can make it out to see you and hear you play. I always pray for your wellbeing and happiness. Thank you, and have a good time at the competition, i know you will shine….
I completely agree. Elisey has the love and admiration and appreciation of many throughout the universe. However he places in competitions, he is an exceptional human being, giving all of us wonderful enjoyment with his supreme talent and love of life. My humble words just don’t convey how special Elisey has become to all.
Bonjour Elisey, Toutes mes félicitations pour ce premier tour ! Je suis sûre que jeudi et samedi, tu seras aussi brillant que d’habitude.
I have been a fan since discovering you on you tube when you were very young. I have enjoyed every moment of seeing you grow up playing wonderfully! Best of luck! welcome !
I saw one of your videos on Facebook, and I was mesmerized by your playing. I am 80 years old now, but I took piano lessons when I was a child so I know what is required in learning to play a piece. I lacked the gift of music, and my playing of notes was never satisfying so I quit playing after a few years. I still appreciate music and get excited when I see and hear someone who is gifted and has the generosity to share their gift with others. I certainly wish you well in your life and career and hope to continue to follow you as long as I am able. Prayers for your life and success!
I am so pleased you have made it to the USA. I am hoping you will excel and win the competition. Whatever the result you will always be a winner.
Enjoy your stay in America and post a video of the sights of America on your YouTube channel.
He won tonight! Amazing artist!
my dearest Elisey…always my winner whatever may be…

Tu musica es muy bella, que Dios siga bendiciendo tus manos y vida. Exito en todo para ti poque imagino que el talento no es todo sin un gran trabajo en ello. Saludos desde Chile????
Lieber Elisey, ich habe es schon so gut wie sicher geahnt, daß Du den 1. Preis machen wirst.
Nochmals herzlichen Glückwunsch und weiterhin viel Erfolg.
Elisey, Toutes mes félicitations. J’étais sûre que tu allais gagner. J’espère que nous pourrons voir toutes les video. En tout cas, tu vas maintenant pouvoir te reposer.
Well done Elisey for such brilliant play, as usual!
Hoping you can now have a good rest after winning all those competitions. If I may say do, your body language, posture and pale complexion, all feel to me as if a break, some time and space, especially at your tender age, would bring their own physical and musical gifts too!
All the very best to you
Elisey, congratulations! You are an amazingly talented pianist. I love the way you play the piano with such grace. Your English is wonderful. I love listening, to you as you play. Will you do a CD anytime soon? I would love to have a CD of your music. Again, congratulations!
Elisey is a treasure for the world. I look forward to his future performances. Thank You Elisey.
well said !!!!!
your music absolutely enthralls me .Have been following you from when I first discovered you as a little tot. I can sit and listen to you for hours such feeling you have for the pieces you play. I also play but just for enjoyment and know how music can transport you to another realm. All the best for much more of your beautiful playing ahead.

Dear Elisey, I enjoyed your performances immensely. I can see why you love the piano music of Robert Schumann. You played the Bunte Blatter selections brilliantly. Playing the Mendelssohn Piano Trio demonstrated how good you also are in ensemble playing. I’m so happy you’ve performed in the USA and I hope you will perform in Los Angeles one day so I can come see you perform in person. Cheers!
Congratulations on your winning the Junior competition Elisey. You’re not only a wonderful pianist but also a great interpreter of music. All the best to you.
