Yuja just seems to “get” Prokofiev in a way that so few other pianists do. It’s difficult to put into words, but it’s as if she knew him and they were dear friends, and that he wrote these extraordinary piano works just for her, knowing everything she was capable of, and that she performed them knowing everything he was trying to say. ❤
Yuja is a genius. I can listen to it over - and - over! This is brillaint...
Yes! I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't taken her seriously earlier, given the number of truly great pianists coming into maturity over the last 20 years. We are so showered with fantastic performers, and yet a few rise risen higher than most. Yuja is one of perhaps three or four who does that!
Yes truly.
What a talent❤No matter how tired I am, when I hear this piece, my blood is boiling, my whole world is shaking… I am back to live and hopeful again. Thank you Yuja !!!
It sounds so much like an epic adventure film score. I get vivid visuals every time I hear it.
YES
YES!! This music makes me feel ALIVE!!! 🙏
Yes. Me too!
How can one young lady have so much talent?
My wife and I and many friends from all over the world were there.
It was the final concert of the Verbier Festival and the Highlight of the Festival.
She played Prokofieff 3 AND 5 in one (!) concert! The day before they needed two pianists for Prokofieff 1 and 2......
She's simply incompearable!
What a joy for your life to be there in person!
This concerto combined with this performer is god-tier
Yes, and I would say sublime, exciting and expressing deep emotion. An international treasure.
I have watched/listened to 18 different piano concertos performed by Yuja Wang. I agree with those who say she is simply
the greatest classical pianist performing today. Brava Yuja!
I started listening to Prokofiev because of Yuja Wang. They are both brilliant.
I loved his music after the Penthouse movie ' Caligula '
This piece is absolutely bananas, and Yuja Wang is flexing like a gladiator here. "Are you not entertained?!"
Bananas for sure. If you know classical period you'll find your mind and fingers will be challenged by P's convolutions, sarcasm and the many ways he blows up conventions. He blew it up. Nothing but secondary explosions and debris since.
Jack Nicholson warned Heath Ledger about performing The Joker in Batman. Someone should warn Yuja about playing Prokofiev. Her performances of his music are spine chilling. Yuja is so exciting to hear and watch ❤
She’s got a way with Prokofiev....🔥🔥
Beyond compare , Yuja is a wonder of our time , one in a million , thank you Yuja Wang .
Yes.
Well she is particularly good with some composers, but there are so many other hidden talents, so a clear no, just don't exaggerate despite admiring her ahaha
Impossible! Brilliant Yuja is connected completely with Noseda and the entire orchestra, immersed in Prokofiev's painfully beautiful music. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!
This level of talent is unmatched and rare.
Oops, let me tell you, there are other pianists who are unmatched, unrivaled with certain interpretations, so welcome to the woke world, ahaha
IMHO she is currently the best interpreter of Prokofiev's piano repertoire. And possibly Rachmaninoff's too. She "gets" Prokofiev in a deep way - the balance of arch humor and superlative craftsmanship. She captures the clarity, crispness, and detail of his writing.
Not even close to Argerich’s in Prokofiev #3 Concerto or Prokofiev #7 Sonata……especially the Precipitato….just MHO
@@drrabner47 it’s funny you should say that, because I just listened to an Agerich performance of Prokofiev’s third, and realized how much stronger it is in some respects. The Agerich is more fluid, with a greater sense of grandeur. She brings a certain gravitas (to use a very overused term). But Wang’s reading is brighter, I think. It’s nimble and fun, which is closer to my personal conception of the piece - and much of Prokofiev’s writing in general. But I do love Agerich. She is a treasure. As I commented in another video, without Martha Agerich there would probably be no Yuja Wang.
@@wingflanagan I love both versions. Originally listened to Martha Argerich's years ago when I first came across the piece as I was playing it in an orchestra, but more recently have listened to Yuja Wang's (and Lang Lang's) interpretations and I like them all in different ways.
@@johnthompson861 I feel the same way!
@@wingflanaganI wonder, in 100 years, who’s name and talent will still be talked about……..Martha Argerich or Yuja Wang?
Yuja is so amazing, she never has music books in front of her, and yet plays her Piano with precision~ USA
Haha oops that's a mistake, she sometimes plays the piano with sheet music.
I EXPERIENCE A GREAT PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO YUJA AND HER PIANO…..AND THE ENERGY IT GIVES ME AS AN OIL PAINTING ARTIST, ITS UNBELIEVABLE, THANK YOU DEAR YUJA.
I love it when accomplished musicians gather to produce beauty for our collective souls’ enrichment. Bravissimo all!
Yuja Wang and the entire Verbier Festival Orchestra deserve credit for bringing to life, the beauty of Prokofiev's Concerto #3. What a glorious performance!
SO POWERFUL AND BEAUTIFULLY PERFORMED….NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS PIECE
Ditto. ❤️
I had to smile when, in the first movement where the orchestra plays several straight repeated chords for that impossible all-over-the-keyboard run setup, the conductor had them play at a moderate tempo and she just took off with her solo. It’s fun to watch him catching up. Bravissima, Ms Wang ❤️❤️❤️
Arguably one of the most difficult compositions in the piano repertoire and Ms Wang plays her usual brilliant performance. Bravissima!
Did you see the grin on Yuja's face when she finished the 2nd movement? She was pleased with that performance. As well she should be. I've heard prokofiefv's 3rd many times by many different piano virtuosos. Yuja plays the 3rd symphony exactly and precisely as Prokofiev intended. She is so fast and accurate that she is in a class all by herself. I cannot imagine the practice, sore hands, and the hours of intense discipline that could have produced such a pianist as Yuja.
Yuja plays Prokofiev better than anybody I've ever heard!
Я бы все-таки поставил рядом Наталью Трулль. Оба исполнения выше всяких похвал
The Best Prokofiev interpreter ever!
Yuja is really flying here What a talent
How does she memorise so much complex work from so many diverse composers
She truly is a phenomenon of the most wonderful kind ❤️
My absolute favorite piano concerto. It might not be the most grandiose piano concerto but that’s why I love it. I also love the idea of having the second movement be a theme and variations instead of a typical slow movement. Wish more concertos adopted that idea
Brilliant performance of this formidable work. The orchestra looks so young! Outstanding
She inspires me to strive for greater heights in my own daily tasks. Energy.
Prokofiev is wonderful here…..the whole orchestra is having fun and Yuja is loving it.
Sergei woke up from his long slumber and, astounded, said "Her! She is the one!"
Some dare to say that Prokofiev is all about showiness , and the emotional aspect is left alone . They just can see the two are always mixed.
I don’t typically listen to this sorta music but just watching this video was such a brow raise to me, the way her fingers are so quick and precise and the fact she doesn’t even have a music sheet amazes me so much! Truly a talented and powerful woman with passion for her skills!
it's normal for soloists to memorize their pieces
I'm more impressed by the fact that she didn't have any wrong notes lol
@@clairejin1704 Oh haha that's not immediately apparent in this music and can easily be concealed, but she is unquestionably an amazing, exceptional pianist who knows how to create real magic and great musical context in her playing. It is admittedly a real treat. Moreover, this rather more percussive music suits her particularly well.
Wow! Such speed I thought the wheels were going to come off the train! Astonishing vigour.
Every time I come back to rewatch this performance I smile at this comment. ASTONISHING VIGOUR 💪💪 Absolutely 😄
However, speed is one of the most secondary characteristics in music. And this can be achieved by any pianist practicing appropriately.
so good, my favourite prokofiev concerto
Definitely!
CAN WATCH AND LISTEN AGAIN AND AGAIN….A WONDERFULLY AND ENERGETIC MUSICIANS, GREAT CONDUCTOR, MASTERFUL TALENT OF YUJ. A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE FOR ANYONE WORTH THEIR SALT IN ENJOYING THIS GREAT TALENT.
I can’t see how a human can do what great pianist do. I can’t watch, I can only listen.
Thank you so much Yuma, you are incredible and amazing and awesome too…..that was an amazing performance and you showed such incredible passion and sensitivity too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Where Rachmaninov is good for the soul…..Prokofiev is wonderful for the spirit and raw talent, thank you Yuja.
two styles, I think Prokofiev is more " complete "
I wonder how many hours a day does she practice to memorize and master each piece the way she does. Much admiration and respect for the skills.
Probably learned it in her teens.
@@pjbpianoI was going to say when I was in the prep department at SFCM I had most of my repertory learned by the time I was 17 and ready to go on to a conseravatory. Conservatory students get so much music thrown at them.
Crazy fantastic monumentally difficult played by a superb orchestra of young people directed with intelligence and understanding
Loved this particular concerto, very exacting and complex. Wonderful Yuja as always, doesn't she always shine ?
I just listened to Marta Argerich's wonderful version with Dutoit and the Japanese orchestra; this one is at least as good, a touch faster, and with Yuja's absurdly crisp articulations. The piece itself is so various and rhythmically sophisticated, the twentieth century at its best.
Try listening to Terence Judd's intrpretation from the 1978 Tchaikovsky competition. Definitive imho.
Argerich with Previn conducting is the definitive performance. This one is great though.
Absolutely electrifying playing. This is of course a pianistic showpiece with many fine historic performances, but Yuja Wang produces something extra.
Prokief has so much to offer
Wow, unlike you, who can't even spell his name correctly ahaha
She is very talented. I can always instantly tell if I’ve seen a certain performance based on her dress. She always wears beautiful gowns.
Hugely talented and not afraid to show that she's in show business. ❤
Breathtaking
I wonder if Prokofiev ever expected a pianist as capable as Yuja ?
I just got through six performances of this concerto including Prokofiev himself. I’m not a huge fan of hers, but I have to give credit to her left hand in the final five minutes. That’s where all the fun is -pure jazz. As to how it stacks up against Prokofiev’s…not sure it matters. As with the Devine Martha, this one knows how to keep the clip up in the final two minutes until you’re ready to levitate. Prokofiev’s and the otherwise gorgeous Trifonov opt for a more huge concert-hall (& slower) finale. But how incredible it is to have all these performers on UA-cam! Thanks to all making this possible!!
Sublime Yuja, la joie de vivre ; elle possède toute l'énergie nécessaire pour interpréter ce concerto endiablé . Noseda conduit le tout de main de maître. Quel bonheur.
Wang is a fully turbo-charged dynamo. I think she cut 3 minutes off the normal running time of this piece.
Just the hand for this piece that is the essential piano driven escapade. Awe Inspiring drive.
I love how at 12:00 both Wang and Noseda have identical body language 😂😂😂😂
Gods, both of them.
Thank you for uploading this! Good musicians having a great time and you can hear the joy, orchestra, conductor and the magnificent Ms Wang. This was a gem!
I find I listen to this time and time again. This is a brilliant and beautiful performance. Thank you Yuja and the conductor for such a wonderful performance.😅❤
Bravo to the Verbier Festival Orchestra for being able to mostly keep up with Yuja's tempo!! She is the best! The very best redition of this concerto, IMHO, is the one she gave with the Berlin Phil in Lucern Festival just few short weeks after this concert.
I can hardly believe ANYTHING could surpass this performance.
Me parece brillante....una de las mejores pianistas de todos los tiempos. La amo....la admiro y por supuesto: la escucho.....❤❤
I absolutely love Yuja !!! Continue to let her light shine for decades to come.
After this, I must redefine the word, "amazing"
Wonderful! I've never heard this particular concerto before (I don't think). Thanks for posting!
Lucky you! Your first time you heard the best rendition of this concerto -- in my mind her Prokofiev's concerti are truly out of this world. Excitement, passion, and dynamics delivered with unbelievable pyrotechnical prowess is the hallmark of Yuja's Prokofiev.
She's a Prokofiev PC#3 specialist
Wow…..I LOVED IT YHE FIRST TIME, AND NOW I IDOLIZE THE CONDUCTOR THE ORCHESTRA AND YUJA, ALL MAGNIFICENT
This is f***ing AMAZING!!!!
Absolument fabuleux!!!!
Outstanding rendering of this classical concerto from the beginning of the XX-th century, both by the soloist, the orchestra and the perfect balance between them.
SHE remmbers all thes concerts - OMG - Wow
Браво ЮЯ! Браво дирижор и оркестр! Браво композитор Прокофьев! Спасибо!
Another fantastic very difficult piece by Ms Yuja Wang and the conductor & orchestra.
👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎶🎶🫶🏻
La seguo da anni, è sempre migliorata. Un talento senza fine
БРАВО пианистка ЮЯ! БРАВО дирижор и оркестр! БРАВО Прокофьев !
Спасибо!
最高です
same
Yes! The best indeed.
Impresionante esta gran pianista !!! Yuja Wang !!!❤❤
Oh my soul Yuja Wang!!
after listening to it a few times i have the full picture of the concerto and it is incredible such a good piano concerto
Good lyrical and rythmic performance of the piano
What a wonderful uncompromising interpretation. The score began to palpitate.
아바도와의 협연도 무척이나 좋았지만 개인적으로는 이번 연주가 좀더 디테일이 살아있는 것 같아서 좋네요. 이 곡만큼은 유자 왕이 정말 고전으로 남을 명연주를 남겼다고 생각합니다.
A classic!
People have so much fun when they play Prokofiev!
This piece is hella fun to play! 😂😂😂 it's difficult but it fits the hands so well. But its so exhilarating.
@@Hervinbalfour Exhilarating by all accounts! - it's fun to watch virts play this (i swear it brings out their Inner Child!) It might fit the hands, but I think P's mischievousness results in convoluted patterns which do not fit the brain well! - learning those at proper speed is beyond muscle memory. And those gliss at the end? I slop thru them playing the notes like arpeggios as scored. I can't imagine playing them as gliss, my fingers would not endure the practice. ALSO, when playing as a solo, have tried to figure out how to incorporate the single orchestral notes which are a major part.
Fantastico!!!!
Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This concert is in Verbier and she make the concert because is a festival
Excellent ！
Awesome music and awesome pianist ❤
I wonder how many hours a day does she practice to memorize and master each piece the way she does. Much admiration ❤️
Have the gods of classical music given us a more talented gift?
Never!
I have run this video that many times I must have worn Yuga's finger to the bone L 😀
Astounding!
БРАВО фестиваль!
Magnificent
Браво оркестр и дирижор!
Wow!! What a blissful performance!!! This is sensational!!!
What glowing precision and finesse....and what a privilege it is to witness this!!
I wonder how many hours a day does she practice to memorize and master each piece the way she does. Much admiration.
БРАВО Ю Я!
Extraordinary!
