How can anyone not like Yudina? It’s not possible!
You have good taste!
I thought the waterfall was flowing. It's so beautiful and touching..
This is sheer craziness. I listen to every performance of the Op. 17 Fantasie, my favorite piece of music in any genre, hoping to find a single added octave in the left-hand at 4:01 here, but this has an added octave in the very first note!! Just from that first note, contrasted with the repose at the very end, this is a raw and dynamic performance. The distortion in the recording, and wrong notes (especially in the 2nd mvt where her decorations made the already-difficult jumps even harder), and extreme rubato at times, are annoying, but I actually laughed at loud in surprise at her bold choice of added octaves or (in the 3rd mvt) moving an octave down in the left hand. She was having fun, and adding to her enjoyment of the piece, and I could never blame anyone for wanting more bass. Not the heartbreakingly-intimate or accurate performance one might always crave, but I'm grateful for the opportunity to hear someone approach the piece from such a different angle.
so politely put ! good for you
Yudina was famous for her whacks
Thank so much! Incredible!
18:50 this is so beautiful, this great wide phrasing, instead of the usual recitativo , and 19:54 ..; (pure Schumann to me), the sudden irruption of passion
and 24:40 ........... !! This kind of pianism has a name : courage. And absolute passion, again.
And finally 25:12 .............. this is unbelievable ..... if a had a secret fantasy of Robert Schumann playing himself nightly his own Fantasy, between schizophrenia and invasive hallucinations, this would be here ..............
Wow 🔥
Aha , der Max Lima wieder da !
This is music making imbued with life-or-death significance. Wonderful! From wikipedia: Yudina's playing was marked by great virtuosity, spirituality, strength and intellectual rigor, with a highly idiosyncratic style and tone. Sviatoslav Richter said of her playing:
She was immensely talented and a keen advocate of the music of her own time: she played Stravinsky, whom she adored, Hindemith, Krenek and Bartók at a time when these composers were not only unknown in the Soviet Union but effectively banned. And when she played Romantic music, it was impressive-except that she didn't play what was written. Liszt's Weinen und Klagen was phenomenal, but Schubert's B-flat major Sonata, while arresting as an interpretation, was the exact opposite of what it should have been, and I remember a performance of the Second Chopin Nocturne that was so heroic that it no longer sounded like a piano but a trumpet. It was no longer Schubert or Chopin, but Yudina.
It is interesting to compare this perfomance to Richter's own recording. Whereas Yudina's version, while, very impressive, screams "THIS IS A HARD PIECE", Richter, as always, makes it sound like the most natural and obvious statement of a profound muscal idea, and absolutely no sweat to play.
25:12 Horowitz forgotten ..... I'm singing and howling in front of my screen
Elle est unique ! Une personnalité incroyable à laquelle on ne peut rester indifférent : sa façon de s’emparer d’une œuvre, la faire sienne et en quelque sorte la métamorphoser est simplement sidérante . On en sort ébloui, parfois irrité, mais admiratif… qu’on le veuille ou non.
EVERYONE who has ever lived is unique!!
The performance of this piece, and the way she looks in the photograph, plus having to live under a very harsh dictatorshp (has anything changed?) calls for a rather brutal performance, as in this case, as a reaction to how life was governed in a lawless society as ruled by the dispicable KGB. What a come-down to have to perform in a back-room hall to probably an audience of little more than 20, out of sight in the great Moscow Conservatory. Leaders of such countries should be made devoid of being able to hear music, inspect art, read literature, by every artist leaving such a totalitarian country!!
@@grumpyoldpianistplus “EVERYONE who has ever lived is unique!!” : J’avais oublié… C’est gentil de me le rappeler.
@@grumpyoldpianistplusА им это не нужно. Абсолютно нет. Другие ценности. Фигурально выражаясь, вкусно поесть.
@@alombredeslava2468 Happy to have been ofservice!!!
Interesting Sound quality
Thank you for posting this. Yudina interpreted as she pleased and couldn't care less what others thought.
When a concert performance of the Fantasie is technically perfect, chances are that it's perfectly boring.
!
I am so wondering what set of keys she may have played on here....the instrument to me sounds utterly sublime!
👍
Visceralmente Schumann !
完全無僵硬學院派的禁錮與束縛
珍貴
Юдина получила большой гонорар от самого Сталина. Передала эти деньги в церковь. В письме поблагодарила тирана и сказала, что возможно эти деньги облегчат его участь на суде Божьем. Великая!
Мне кажется, Сталин ничего не понимал в музыке и был, возможно, очарован ей, как женщиной.
Brava!
Magnificent performance, but . . .
eccentric rubatos, liberal alterations of rhythms and quite a messy ending of the second movement.
I'm sorry, but for all of its sheer bravado and daring, I cannot judge this a great unheralded performance. While there are moments of poetic repose, more often Yudina bashes the keyboard and distorts the rhythms, phrases, and throughline well beyond artful rhapsodic rubato. It is hard to tell whether the blasting distortion is because of miking issues or because of overuse of the damper pedal, particularly in the bass line (probably a little of both). The second movement, even for this seasoned listener of grand manner artists of the past who is tolerant of finger slips, is hard to take, and the coda becomes almost a lurching, wrong note cartoon of bravura. Willful and individual, that Yudina was, but this performance to me is not one of her signal achievements. Interesting to hear once, yes.
What 's the performans "analiz" !... But "the Bad ' s continuously the Good" & that Concert 's Alive !!😮🙉🤩💜💚🧡😉😮🤗
I particularly find your recording of it enlightening.
Cosi si suona
Schumann a la Russe.
This ' s M.Yudina--she was special Pianist!!!
Nothing to do with Ruses-all insights are so much the Schumann''s passion and poetry.
