I appreciate her hard work, but yet, she's too far from the deep understanding and elegance, shawn by Georgii Cherkin and Sofia Philharmony Orchestra, conducted by Uroš Lajovic. I do believe this is the best interpretation ever!
Saw her playing that in Rotterdam. She is the ambassador of music. The joy of playing she transfers on to the listeners. The energy, the trancedental technique. I hope one day, when she has more time, she will share the secrets of her playing to us lesser gods!
Yes i completely understand. Let's face it, she is stunningly beautifully and sexy, she is a natural woman like that. Then on top of it she has a likeable character not that spiteful distant and proud character you often see in beautiful women.. That makes her absolutely irresistible, and i haven't even talked yet about her prodigious piano playing...
Awesome!! ... Have followed Yuja's career for some time: she's a child prodigy....She has "magic"fingers running on the piano! ....She's very sexy, & have listened to some of her interviews as well. She can play anything it seems. Thanks for posting! 🙏❤️
That piece is the epitom of the junction between classic and modern "classic music". Rachmaninov is an incredible genius, putting together so many themes (with a superb touch of humour) so smoothly. And Yuja lives up to the challenge easily (as it seems, but there are hundreds hours of work concealed here). And congrats too to the orchestra, who isn't overwhelmed by the power of the pianist (partly because she knows how to hide sometimes). What a pleasure !
Beauty, natural talent, honed skills playing with a fabulous orchestra, how much more can the good Lord bestow upon anyone. Yuja you got it all! Well done! Wonderful!
Yuja's recording of this masterwork was considered by Gramophone Magazine as the best ever. They meant the old recording with Claudio Abbado and Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Now she plays it's even better! The "Times" called her rendition together with her partner Klaus Mäkelä "a masterclass in chamber music." ❤❤❤
Excellente remarque. Je suis tout a fait d accord. Les "paysages sonores" voulus par le compositeur sont magnifiquement restitué restitués grace au dynamisme de l orchestre et de la superbe jeune pianiste
There's absolutely no way!!! She's must be A super human from Krypton like Faora!!! How does anyone remember every single note and key to tap right on sync.!? Absolutely astonishing!!!
VERILY VERILY SHE HATH TAKEN A COURSE UP INTO THE HEAVENS & LEFT ALL FOR A CLASSICAL ETERNITY perhaps smiling down , adoringly , upon her WONDERFUL WONDERFUL ACCOMPANIESTS !!!!!
I’ve heard lots of Rach performances and attended some concerts over many moons. One just runs out of superlatives (oooh just heard the Death motif, twice even, forgot about that) I’m just beyond words when it comes to her phenomenal talent.
She is truly beautiful and feminine. I love her choice of dress, this yellow dress is stunning on her, i couldn't breathe when she walked on stage. Also her personality is very likeable. She is obviously very talented but there are many talented pianists, still i love her feminity and i couldn't say that of other female pianists.
I love this yellow dress, too. Stunning with the black piano. As you said she made the choice of beautiful and sexy dresses to come out of the lot because nowadays it is quite impossible to succeed without a marketing trick. It is clever and it brings joy to many people. Mrs Wang is a fantastic pianist but among the young generation, my preference goes highly to Nobuyuki Tsujii, that blind pianist who has the same virtuosity but whose musical skills are much deeper because he always respects the composers first so the magic takes place. Menahem Pressler had said he greatly admired him... And this was no small compliment from him.
@@GingerIndiana I think she is naturally sexy and didn't have to make a "choice", it is natural to her and it is why it works. Unlike many sexy but usually cold and haughty women she is warm and friendly. I agree that her appearance brings joy to many people. She is ideal for the current generation. But even with her sultry appearance she has a great taste in colors and fabrics that i have not seen ever. Of course everyone me included would only praise and admire a blind pianist who can play standard concerto repertoire, it's nothing short of incredible and profoundly moving. No world class pianist would think otherwise. i think, and there was absolutely no need to mention an obscure pianist to support that view, it's quite evident.
@@ericastier1646 You had mentioned her "choice of dress" and yes, she chooses her dresses or her shorts when she plays in short. For the rest... I'm a woman so I can't see more than the beautiful dresses 😉. Menahem Pressler is not an "obscure pianist" ... 😳. He was the pianist of the Beaux-Arts Trio, the most famous trio of classical music history that played and recorded for more than 50 years. But he also had a solo career. He wasn't praising Nobu because of the fact he was blind but for his deep musical understanding of the repertoire : "God took his eyes but gave him physical and musical gifts that allow him to master the greatest pieces of the repertoire". And that young Japenese musician is so moving, each time he plays it sends shivers... (If interested to discover, I have made a short Playlist "Van Cliburn + Winner 2009", because he won the 1st Prize of that big international competition).
@@GingerIndiana Yes, there currently are no middle aged male pianists that are handsome for you as much as Yuja is Aphrodite like beautiful feminity for me, it's not just appearance she would be nothing without her flower in the sun like character. Humble yet direct. I vaguely remember the Beaux Art Trio. I guess only pianists with grand solo careers are very well known in posterity. Not to belittle him but there were hundreds of excellent pianists who had great careers in the last century. On the other hand only a few got the coverage and extra support from the media and venues because of their ethnicity. Because of it I don't accept fame as a sign of greatness because the music recording industry, venues, media and academics are ethnically politicized and not demographically representative. The greatest example is Horrowitz probably the most overrated pianist in history, another is Arthur Rubinstein, and it is a pattern that made it possible for them to have a career when others more deserving did not.
@@ericastier1646 I'm happy to hear this : being "the most famous pianist" doesn't make you "the best musician" at all , that's totally true. And it's even more true nowadays where Social Networks help a lot those who have a good manager. Personally I don't need a male pianist to look beautiful to appreciate his playing : I'm only looking for a true musician whose knowledge and respect for the composer will make his playing deep with emotion. Because the real artist is the composer, not the performer. Clara Haskil wasn't a beautiful woman at all but she was successful thanks to the quality of her musical playing. Menahem Pressler wasn't a beautiful man at all. Same for Nobuyuki Tsujii. But their playing conveys the great composers' music in a respectful way and that gives the deepest emotions. For example Menahem Pressler's recording of Chopin 1st Concerto makes me cry each time I listen to it. And one of his last concerts (when he was 92) features a Chopin Nocturne as an encore that's a dreaming experience for the audience. (This great artist received the "Life Achievement Award" in 1998 in the UK which is the highest distinction a classical musician can get. )
Omigod! That orchestra! The _precision,_ the intensity. And the engineering -- there must have been 20 microphones expertly placed with matching cameras to catch all those solo vignettes. Oh, and I guess the piano player was okay, too. 😁 Just kidding. I am a fan of Ms. Wang on a level that approaches fanaticism. I don't have the words... I wish there were a way to put a microphone on *her* so we could hear what she was saying as she talks to her piano during the performance. The only thing missing was a camera at the end of the piano focused on her face so we could watch her wonderful expressiveness as she frowns just a bit for an unusually difficult part, or (be still, my heart!) when she lights up the room with that wonderful smile when something goes especially well. Sitting alone in my home office I found myself applauding enthusiastically at the conclusion of this performance, even though there was no one to hear. It's possible there may never be a better performance of the Rachmaninov rhapsody than this one.
Heard this in Amsterdam in the same week. She played so subtle and nuanced, but the orchestra totally drowned her out. Sometimes she was almost inaudible.

The music is based on the roman catholic “Missa pro defunctis”. It was sung by a choral schola where only male sex was allowed singing. Because of the horrifying texture meanwhile the roman catholic church has forbidden to sing it after 2000 years !!
I just wonder if she is friends with Khatia. Or if they are completely competitive against one another???They are both the same age around??? right??? Anyways they both shoot that shit on A high level!!! that's how convict's talk(Chess).😅
Every time I see a thumbnail of a video of this woman playing the piano, all I notice is her gaudy dress. Her talent is what draws people, but her choice of dress screams something else.
More colorful beautiful piano sound than Yuja Wang=Emil Gilels Wilhelm Kempff Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov! 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! Dimitri Bashkirov her teacher Anastasia Virsaladze teach saying to Bashkirov the most important lesson is the love of beautiful colorful piano sound! This was already in 1930s! Really Shocking! All the beautiful colorful piano sound players are gone dead like Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov!

I've been listening to this rhapsody for thirty years and I've never heard such precise note articulation as Wang. Bravo!
A big big big bravo, especially in our times !
I appreciate her hard work, but yet, she's too far from the deep understanding and elegance, shawn by Georgii Cherkin and Sofia Philharmony Orchestra, conducted by Uroš Lajovic.
I do believe this is the best interpretation ever!
The first time a piano saw Yuja Wang it surrendered on behalf of all pianos, and the world has been rejoicing ever since.
Saw her playing that in Rotterdam. She is the ambassador of music. The joy of playing she transfers on to the listeners. The energy, the trancedental technique. I hope one day, when she has more time, she will share the secrets of her playing to us lesser gods!
Yuja drives me insane She’s amazing I absolutely adore Her❤️
Yes i completely understand. Let's face it, she is stunningly beautifully and sexy, she is a natural woman like that.

@@ericastier1646 Thank You, You have described my feelings towards Yuja perfectly She is quite simply The Perfect Young Lady in every way 💘👍👍
And THAT is how it's done! Never have I heard this piece...one of my absolute favorites...rendered with such impeccable beauty.
This beautiful doll proves that virtuous, gifted, world class, concert pianist like Miss Wang can also be beautiful and sexy.
Ew. Doll? Sexy? Grow up.
Awesome!! ...
Have followed Yuja's career for some time: she's a child prodigy....She has "magic"fingers running on the piano! ....She's very sexy, & have listened to some of her interviews as well.
She can play anything it seems.
Thanks for posting! 🙏❤️
Yuja does not play the piano; she immerses herself in it, bonds with it, and together they speak from the heart.
Wish the camera man had included more of her facial expressions as they demonstrate that bond.
🎉 yes, completely true. That's her heavenly gift 🎁
Speechless, don't think I'll ever be the same again.
That piece is the epitom of the junction between classic and modern "classic music". Rachmaninov is an incredible genius, putting together so many themes (with a superb touch of humour) so smoothly.

YUJA,……AS ALWAYS FANTABULOUS
What Rachmaninoff did by inverting the original is more than words can say. Beyond belief.
Thank you for playing it so well.
And whoever chose this piece for “Somewhere in Time” deserves accolades too!!
Excellente remarque. Je suis tout a fait d accord. Les "paysages sonores" voulus par le compositeur sont magnifiquement restitué restitués grace au dynamisme de l orchestre et de la superbe jeune pianiste
Her wonderful performance will quench and moisturize the dryness of the soul
As it was ! Great Rach rhapsody @ Yuja as well !
Omg... .. . Look at all those people there.What A treat they got to experience!!!😊
Thank you for posting this Yelena. This Rach is my favorite. And Yuja is fantastic.
Incredible and captivating performance.
She is only the best , and is so beautiful too
Yuja eres genial,
Maravillosa interpretaciòn🙏🙏🎹🎹⚘⚘💜💜
Congrats and thanks again, Yelena, on being so quick on the draw with this posting ... As usual, Yuja, Angel of the keyboard!
She's a pure genius! 😮!!!
There's absolutely no way!!! She's must be A super human from Krypton like Faora!!! How does anyone remember every single note and key to tap right on sync.!? Absolutely astonishing!!!
Oh, it's easy.
Apparently.
She does it with everything she plays.
Isn't she wonderful?
Wonderful and beautiful always, fantastic Ms Yuja Wang 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎶🎼🫶🏼😊
Thank you for the great music.
VERILY VERILY SHE HATH TAKEN A COURSE UP INTO THE HEAVENS & LEFT ALL FOR A CLASSICAL ETERNITY

She made my head spin ! That's how sick she is.....🤣😂
Her playing is superb. But is the piano very slightly out of tune? It seems jarring to my ear.
could be that, or also the acoustics of the dome

at 2:57 RE the cellist in center of frame-what is he wearing on his left hand? some kind of protective/therapeutic glove?
Helps prevents string sores and blisters! might also double as a compression glove to help prevent cramping in the hands
Help!!! Can someone tell me the name of the introductory symphonic piece?
បើនាងបាក់ម្រាមដៃតែមួយនាងចប់ហើយ ! 😁
...like every pianist...
Why is the camera bouncing? A grand piano is WAY to heavy to move from playing!
I just wonder if she is friends with Khatia. Or if they are completely competitive against one another???They are both the same age around??? right??? Anyways they both shoot that shit on A high level!!! that's how convict's talk(Chess).😅
They played 4 hands piano once. There is a video on youtube.
dress little better now thank god .

As soloist she has every right to dress as she wishes.
This woman is vastly overrated musically. Her rendition of the 18th variation is laughable.
