Yuja Wang /Her Best Performance

- I saw Yuja Wang for the first time at Disney Hall in Los Angeles California in 2015, and that was my best experience since I love Yuja's Piano skills.
Here are some of her performances over the years.
I hope you like it and subscribe for more videos that I recorded at Disney Hall.
I have been listening and observing piano recitals for over 45 years, and I have been playing the instrument myself. But I must confess that this lady is a masterpiece, in a class all by herself
How about the way she plays?
Essa pianista é sensacional! Emocionante a sua habilidade e a sua afinidade com o piano. É algo espiritual a sua relação com o piano. 👏👏👏👏
It's her clarity that I find so special.
She has been sent from heaven to make our world wonderful

@@present3348 What the actual hell is wrong with you??
Yuja Wang is amazing. She plays with such style and easy. Her expressions of happiness while she plays reminds me of a mother holding her newborn baby. Precious.
I have no idea how large her brain must be in order to remember all the trillions of music notes that are contained in her beautiful brain, as well as the muscle memory that she must have in order to perform her repertoire. Quite frankly I enjoy her outfits when she is performing because to me this again demonstrates her absolute youthful dynamics when performing on stage. She is the best!
Her outfit proves that she is very confident and talented
Es lo mejor que he oído en piano en los últimos tiempos. Muy hermosa .

Not a wrong note in 4+ hours at Carnegie Hall 2023 per reviewers🎉🎉🎉🗽🗽🗽
Wang: I can do this all day. 😂
I'm in awe of this lady. Truly one of the greats of our time, and my personal favorite performer. Thanks for uploading.
She's beyond genius she's a sorceress that's the only explanation.

She looks gorgeous and her playing is sublime
Thanks again for watching and subscribing
I meet her in person. So beautifull and great a sweet person...her talent is from other world. Super amazing.
Thanks for watching and subscribing
I saw her in Los Angeles three years ago
She is really a once in a Century virtusoue. Incredibly talented!! I am blown by her performances🙏

As a professional musician myself I find some of the comments ridiculous! The words "great"/"greatest" are by no means objective or scientific and therefore can't be either right or wrong.
It's all about how the listeners experience of the performance, what it does to your inner soul.
You can discuss technical things on a reasonably objective level but not feelings.
Personally I find her technical skills somewhat outstanding, but it is her way to let herself be engulfed by the instrument and the music she plays that makes me love her!
I have experienced myself, playing Bach in a cathedral, to be so overwhelmed that I couldn't hold back my tears sometimes.
To see her intensity through a concert and how she wipes the tears from her cheeks before thanking the maestro in the end ...
Maybe you don't all agree with me, but it's my honest opinion that Yuja Wang is a gift to all people who love piano music, or music at all.
It is LITTLE wonder that Miss Wang fills a huge concert hall with her other worldly musicianship . . . SO grateful that we have this unforgettable recording so that we can come back to it over and over again !
I thought I had heard this piece before, but hearing this performance is like hearing it for the first time. Yuja is perfectly paired with this piece.
I can’t help it. I get teary eyed every time I watch her play. Such talent.
I am going to hear her in Beethoven this month, great moment for me.
She is the best, every piece she plays is beyond amazing performance, in my lifetime there was not one pianist who can match her talent God bless her with many more years to play, we are lucky to listen to this genius.

Look at "Piano Duel - Yuja Wang vs. Khatia Buniatishvili" and see they are equally matched as 10's, each one!
On a near-taboo topic: people criticize Yuja for being too sexy in her dress. A dress can't be sexy; it's the person, the intelligence, the movement, the facial expressions, the passion in the music that's sexy. Get into it.
On an interview she said that she has no boyfriend. But she does and she see`s her boyfriend every time she performs because her piano and Yuja becomes one. Her passion, her feelings and her emotions become one. Just see near the end of the movement of Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No.3 in D minor,Op.30 when she feels the deep emotions of the composer as the music as written as she she plays from her heart !
The dress isn't playing the Piano
@@shalamar138 I think with all due respect to Yuja that she experiences cosmic orgasms when she play Rachmaninoff
@@shalamar138 Now I got it! When I die I wanna come back as her piano.

More genius than Yuja Wang=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini Stanislav Bunin! More powerful louder than Yuja Wang=Mikhail Pletnev(Prokofiev piano concerto no 1 by Pletnev!) The Second Loudest ever was Lazar Berman! The 3rd Loudest was Erwin Nyiregyhazi! Yuja Wang not the best genius! Yuja Wang not the best piano sound! Yuja Wang not the most powerful!!
And the world becomes beautiful! Thank you!
Yuja is so sompletely unique . . . not just as a spectacular technician, but she radiates an unmistakable presence, beauty, and "energy" about her. The fantastic results of a genetic lottery and the situation she grew up in and emerged from, forged this most amazing human being.
I have seen her live twice. It is electrifying and beautiful . To see Yuja in person os special.

Yuja Wang, Walks, Talks Music, Yuja, appears do everything Music. I was surprised to learn how well she understands the history of music, Yuja, really loves Sergie Rachmanoff's music. Both were rapped in how Jazz fit all they do with music. It is a real treat to be where it is possible to see and listen to Juja play Sergei Rachmanoff.s music he has written.
YUJA IS BLESSED WITH HER PRESENCE, HER BRAIN, HER HANDS ITS MAGICAL WHAT COMES OUT FROM THE KEYBOARD.

What a beautiful piano she's playing! It's unbelievable!
Yuja is unbelievable. I can't even comprehend how it is humanly possible to move your fingers with such blazing, spell-binding velocity across the piano keys while hitting all the right notes with such incredible expression and even ecstasy all the while seeming, no doubt absolutely alert, but also completely "relaxed". It is beyond the beyond....Bravo Ms. Wang! Thanks for posting.
When a goddess appears in the flesh, all we can do, as mere mortals, is breathe in and out with awe and gratitude...
The One true God, Who created music and talent, is the One Who blessed her with this talent. He is the true Virtuoso!
She is a queen playing piano....
She is the princess of my heart
Thank you so much for sharing these magical moments. This young woman defies gravity. What a talent.

She shows her “Difference” and her more advanced Understanding of her Music including the difference in the Orchestra- subtle differences she can hear it!
The most dynamic and incredible pianist I have ever seen!
Yes indeed, she is very talented.

I think Yuja will leave a mark in the history books as been the very first beautiful concert pianist woman who’s not ashamed to be sexy . There have been many wonderful classical pianists that we all have enjoy their music, but lacking that element of wonderful sensuality in their presentation.
She is young , talented and very beautiful, nothing is wrong with showing off what God gave you, disregarding what any prudish says. Who said this is a sacred event.
I can always tell when men write. these comments versus women 😅 She is a fantastic amazing pianist!! But here I am as a woman speaking I prefer the covered up look of other woman pianists.
I my comments are taken out of context. I regard women as the reasons for men to exist. I have a mother, a wife and daughters and before Miss Wang beauty, I consider her an exceptionally talented woman, and as a piano student I have a deep respect and appreciate her unique virtuosity.
@@ivannvillanueva4778 I agree. She is hot.
In the first 3 minutes of this video I felt that she touched heaven so that we could glimpse it!

OMG.....She is playing on a higher standard. She easily performs the most difficult piano pieces . Not merely playing the notes. She brought me to tears. A one of a kind . Over the last 50 years I have worked many pianist.

On appearance alone, you might expect her to exploit the art by "selling" the music through her looks, choice of fashion, and sexual appeal. But then, when you hear her actually PLAY --- hear her very gifted musical mind not merely comprehend, but negotiate colorful, dynamic contrasts and musicality within complex rhythmical dynamics and pianistic virtuosity --- you're forced to rethink the paradigms of HOW music is developed in the first place, and to perhaps realize that music-making can be, or is, as much a sexual experience as it is otherwise sensory. As a lifetime musician myself, I have today perhaps learned something new and invaluable from Ms. Wang.

Yuja, c'est mon égérie depuis que je l'ai entendue jouer pour la première fois. Étant moi-même pianiste amateur, je mesure la prouesse technique, sa virtuosité et sa sensibilité pour interpréter de tout son être, de toute son âme, ces œuvres merveilleuses et on perçoit sa complicité avec les "chefs" et les musiciens justes subjugués. Et bien sûr je "kiffe" grave ses tenues car rien que par ce biais, je pense qu'elle a fait découvrir à des milliers d'auditeurs la beauté de la musique classique😊. Francis. Sommières 11 avril 2023.

Ich habe als "Lain" selber Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Mussorski usw. gespielt und einige Male in grossen Musicals Pianistin sein dürfen. Da erlebt man einfach den "Himmel". - Es ist eine grosse Gnade, können wir Menschen solch grandiosen Künstlern beim Entfalten ihrer Talente beiwohnen, die uns immer wieder in höhere Welten entführen. - Ja, was die Bekleidung betrifft: sie muss ja sehr leicht und darf auf keinen Fall einengend sein, damit der Spieler sich uneingeschränkt der Notwendigkeit beim Performen der Klänge entsprechend frei bewegen kann. Zudem ist ein Klavierkonzert körperlich wie mental sehr anstrengend; der Spieler verbraucht enorme Energien - man sagt, so viel wie ein Bauarbeiter, was aufgerechnet auf einen Arbeitstag zirka 4000 Kilokalorien sind. Absolute Höchstleistungen!
Fantastic!!! Such a joy and blessing to live at the same time, as Yuja Wang!

So agree!
I like this string orchestra backing with the Chopin it seems to suit the work better than the full orchestra. I think Yuja is always at the top of her game and I'd say her best will always be "the next one". The different excerpts were all well worth remembering. Thanks for this.
We mere mortals get a taste of the joy by watching her face as she performs the unperformable.

Yuja is in the moment playing a key at a time in a mathematical sequence. Her body language moves to each note not the story; an android programmed to play flawlessly with only faint feelings.
Khatia Buniatishvili moves to the story and beyond, as if trained by a mysterious old soul from a past century. Every thought, emotion, her heart and her physical abilities is all one when playing.
Listen to Yuja without watching her! Khatia also is fabulous, but Yuja is anything but an android! Each has her own unbelievable talent!
Thanks for watching and subscribing
The orchestra is amazing too when playing along side her, the difference is they read the music in front of them where Yuja DOESNT she memorises ALL the music which makes her unforgettable!! Thankyou Yuja...❤🎹🎵🥀
You are so right. That's an incredible achievement! Most people, whether musicians or non-musicians, don't even know what that means. When I was in a concert of Yuja Wang in the Tonhalle Düsseldorf a few years ago, she played Beethoven's "Hammerklavier Sonata", Schumann's "Kreisleriana" cycle and some Brahms pieces from the head..!!! I talked about it with 2 women next to me. They said it wasn't anything special. Any good musician could do that. I thought I did not hear right. But that Ms. Wang can play almost all works by heart, whether by Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, Liszt, Chopin, Schubert, Shostakovich, Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Bach, Bartók, etc., hardly anyone seems to notice, let alone because to appreciate. She is an absolutely exceptional pianist. In my opinion the best in the world.
@@catanlorca there's a video of her talking about herself you should watch, where she says she memorises all the pieces in her head it comes naturally. She also mentioned when she had a break in New York she got bored! from not playing. Playing piano is her life like breathing, she doesn't do anything else but play she has no other interests.

YUJA Wang is a passionate pianist before anything else, an artist in music when she feels like it which is usually always. She is daring in her presentation, you have to be courageous and confident for such matter knowing how conservative the audience in classic music can be. She has a gift few possess, to be natural and unpretentious while being on top of her profession if we can ever call being a solo pianist a profession, rather a vocation. She loves what she does, it is visible when she performs, yet, it is more than love, it is a need to be with a piano, without it life would be boring for her just like a painter without his/her brushes and colours would. Such is life, full of surprises, be in music, visual art, sculpture, poetry, engineering, writings. The only field where there is no surprises is in politics where mediocrity prevails and is constant, well enjoy life if you can.
Patrice - beautifully expressed! She brings out the artist, the poet in all of us, even those with lesser gifts. 🎵😊😊
Sorry about the thumb down, it was quite an accident. Yuja is great and lovely and your posting is spot on,especially the comment on the trashy subject of politics.
@@lewiswereb8994 Can I comment about politics - I would like it to be more boring, even "mediocre"! - I've had a bit too much excitement just recently!!! (although "Interesting" as in the famous Chinese curse... 🤔🤔🤔)
Well said. Truth spoken. I’m all for Yuja’s daring even when I don’t agree with her tempos or dynamics. It’s a bit of Who Cares? I’d far rather go for a wild ride with Yuja than with an overly predictable rendition of an overfamiliar war house. Most importantly, she is terribly bright and insightful. She won’t rest on her brilliant technique alone. She pushes her envelope relentlessly. This I admire most. Her restlessness. Her returning to the score looking for lost or hidden patterns and relationships. Yuja is a force to be admired.
New York CLASSICAL REVIEW by Eric Simpson Sun May 15.2016
Concerts are, to some extent, an expectations game in one way or
another: we go to a major venue to hear a leading artist expecting a
great performance, and often that bar is met or even exceeded. Or we
witness a very fine performance that stands out all the more for being
by someone we’ve scarcely heard of.
The least pleasant of all worlds has to be the experience of
disappointment from the performers from whom we expect the most. Over
the past several years, it has been a thrill to watch the continued
development of Yuja Wang, who has shed her reputation as a flashy
technician and demonstrated herself to be a sensitive musician of real
substance. It was surprising, then, to hear her on Saturday at Carnegie
Hall, in her most mature recital program to date, sound so far out of
her element.
The first two of Brahms’s Op. 10 Ballades provided just the
first example of what would become a recurring problem throughout Wang’s
recital: chronic over-pedaling. While some judicious blurring can help
give color to a piece, Wang’s heavy foot seemed here to be more of a
tic, fussing with textures without finding much in the way of meaningful
expression. Neither Ballade showed much specificity of
intention, giving instead a broadly generic account of the music without
a strong feel for its style or significance.
There was a more virtuosic feel that one often hears in her rendering of
Schumann’s Kreisleriana,
yet Wang still relied too heavily on her pedaling, her playing often
feeling rote. For all the fire with which she ended the third movement,
there was no focus in it, so that it took on the shape of general
bluster. There were moments throughout of superb playing-the last
movement was marked by striking contrasts between passion and playful
coyness, but even these felt like momentary effects rather than elements
of a complete interpretation.
Most perplexing of all was her take on Beethoven’s magisterial
“Hammerklavier” Sonata. In the early going it was quite impressive, a
truly majestic majestic opening followed by extraordinary freedom in her
interpretation of the rest of the first movement. Wang’s fingerwork at
times felt a little drowsy, a problem that carried over into her
Scherzo, and kept it from ever approaching its requisite crispness.
As so often before, Wang’s account of the pensive Adagio sostenuto
showed moments of superb playing-her delicate touch floated shining
tones out of the piano, and individual phrases were sublimely crafted.
What she lacked, though was the ruminative Beethovenian spirit of the
music-the romantic preciousness with which she shaped the movement would
have been more suited to a Chopin nocturne. The finale showed plenty of
determination in the “Allegro risoluto,” but more excessive pedaling
and sluggish fingerwork muddied what ought to have been a crystal-clear
fugue.
A different pianist, it seemed, emerged for the curtain calls. Wang
tossed off all of her usual encores, and they were brilliant: the
Gretchen am Spinnrade transcription
had the perfect combination of Schubertian sensitivity and Lisztian
bombast. Arcadi Volodos’s cheeky riff on Mozart’s Rondo alla Turca
elicited laughter at every witty turn and the Horowitz “Carmen”
Variations were accomplished with supreme flair. Where was this
self-assured, limpid playing on the rest of the program?
absolutely in love

No artificial intelligence will ever be able to do what she does. The musical notes pour out of her fingers seemingly with so little muscle work. You can's sense any tension yet she creates in the music purely by thought. It's pure magic and quite spooky. She 'lives' the music and she is like an extension of the piano or is it the piano is an extension of her. I'm in shock!
