She is a great virtuoso, and at the same time combines her technique with her musicianship and sensitivity to give a great performance of these fabulous and impossibly difficult Brahms- Paganini studies.
Yuja brings a fresh interpretation to this masterwork of Brahms. Note how we hear the negative harmony clearly in the various lines. ❤
This rendition of Brahms Paganini shows us how poetic and colourfull might be this magnificient piece if played in the right way (despite most of people thinks it is just viruosistic). Brahms' inventivness has no limit.
Очень люблю Юджи Ванг! Она как рысь на клавиатуру набрасывается! Не только слушать её, но и смотреть-залюбуешься! Браво!❤
She owns it, good god, she owns its. What an awesome pianist
7:57 That guy didn't just sneeze, he recited the whole Swedish alphabet in one exhale
So selfish
@@Normanadair?
Precision, voicing, energy! Artistry
Awesome play Yuja! Love it!
Fantastic,her talent is just incredible
Qu’il nous soit donné de vivre de tels moments, entendre cette musique jouée de cette façon, et voir en plus cette merveilleuse pianiste, c’est proprement incroyable ! Merci, merci et encore merci !
Superb. Thank you for the video
so good, as allways!
This looks like a recital for her graduation from Curtis Institue studying under Gary Graffman, when she was more or less 19 years old. I recognized the hairstyle from some other videos of her Senio recital.
Her Curtis recital is from 2006. This performance is from the 2009 Verbier Festival. 😎🎹
Why is this 1 half step lower
She made the music appear from her heart
2:49 my favorite part
You can listen in this rendition that she loves Arturo Michelangeli, indeed he was also my first inspiration to play these pieces. He is also playing in the same order. I enjoyes her version too.
You are absolutely right... but I specify all this in my introduction in two languages, French and English (during the first 50 seconds), where I also indicate the (slight) difference between Yuja's choice and Michelangeli's one.
@@eusebiusetflorestan2532 thanks!! 🌼
@@mariadoloresvidalpianista3225 you are welcome!
WOW THOSE TRILLS IN Var. 4!!! INSANE
Well not quite, she leaves the sustained notes to achieve these trills - they're not 4-5. Don't get me wrong, it's an outstanding performance, but this shortcut WAS taken - most pianists take it, no harm done.
@@LisztianGR The notes you're referring to are only a quaver in length so aren't asked to be sustained for the full length of the trill.
If you’d like to hear Yuja Wang’s 2009 Verbier performance of the Brahms in the correct key (A Minor instead of G-Sharp Minor, as it is here), use this link:
ua-cam.com/video/yXEyFc-7q5g/v-deo.htmlsi=3KC-ELfVbzTtJxZL
The alternate upload is audio only-no Yuja, no score-but it includes some nice pictures of Brahms. I also added time stamps for each variation.
😎🎹
How is it in G sharp minor? Thx.
Virtuosismo
Unbelievable!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Unfortunately the sound and video aren't synchronized
YuJia is always the best.
Yuja Wang plays especially well whenever she has a bad hair day.
Anybody got a .flac or .aac version so I don't have to deal with UA-cam's shitty audio compression?
Ordinary mortals can only look on in wonder
Yeah, it's not fair. Why do some humans get so gifted? While the big majority are only "ordinary mortals".
@@jansnauwaert1785 they are gifted this way because they have worked very hard spiritually over several, many reincarnations; and in this current reincarnation, they are able , through their own gifts, to manifestation of all of these
unique skills, talents, artistic capacities
There goes my self-esteem...
3:05 somehow I'm hearing Radiohead's Knives Out
Wow!
興味深い演奏ですね。
12:45 9 against 4 then 9 against 8
Sweet, Charming, Funny, BEAUTIFUL, and of course, So TALENTED LADY!!! I LOVE YUJA WANG!!!
The on-screen text at the start of this vid declared wang's performance to be unique. Why? Why is it unique? I personally can't hear a SINGLE unique phrasing or approach in this. You should listen to Cziffra's recording - THAT's unique!
If you had taken the time to read carefully, you would have understood that Yuja Wang's version is unique in the sequencing of the variations, not in the interpretation. As for the latter, it may not be "unique", but it is certainly rare, and certainly not inferior to Cziffra's.
This video disappeared from UA-cam about two years ago. I have been looking for it everywhere! Thanks for posting. Can you please post or send the original HD video from Verbier without the score? Thanks a ton.
Thank you for your comment. On my channel, I publish videos that I rework, and to which I bring a "plus". So I'm not going to publish the "raw" video (which I actually don't have in HD). But I want to tell you that the video as I published doesn't cut off any part of the image: so you have the whole video, and I hope that the addition of the score is more a richness than a flaw!
@@eusebiusetflorestan2532 you changed it a semitone didn’t you? She’s playing an A, and because I have perfect pitch I hear a g sharp
@@IEEMAZ_Convoluted_14.2.8.5 Do you really imagine that I have modified the recording? Or, even more absurdly, that Yuja played a semitone too low? By the way, it seems that your ear is not as perfect as you seem to think: I checked the A note with a tuning fork, and it is indeed an A in this recording. But I was probably wrong to take your words seriously. You were joking.
@@eusebiusetflorestan2532 ok if it isn’t you someone else changed it. I checked it on my piano and it’s a g sharp
@@eusebiusetflorestan2532 and she plays an A
Yuja, magnífica! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏From Brasil!
My preferred version after Benedetti Michelangeli
Her plastic sound and her lack of whatsoever imagination don't stand comparison with ABMs prodigious renditions.
Anche in questo video yuja è sorprendente: in passato ha eseguito autori diversi da Brahms...
👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹😘
7:57 ... bless you
Poesía pura
OMG, she plays the rhythm wrong in bar 11.
19:12
Well this piece really shows that Yuja’s techniques actually has limits lol. Obviously she struggled in playing this even with missing notes , arrangement and change of variation order
La mia profe che ha portato questa all’esame finale al conservatorio.
1:00
Thanks
You edited this to a semitone down and I wonder why it’s out of order for example once it was variation 4 and then it goes to variation 15
Operation Save classical music: It is something of a tradition for pianists to pick and choose variations from both books to create their own performing version.
Book I
What is the reason that you edited the key down?
Yes why?
I’ve been trying to find out this conspiracy the whole time.
So it doesn't get copyrighted or removed
some of the greatests like Emil Gilels, Evgeny Kissin, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Martha Argerich seem to struggle with this piece. Yuja's face expresses pleasure, delight, ecstasy. It's unique. let us contemplate this wonder which is given to us, for we will have all eternity to contemplate the divine light
Are you sure? I don't think so, Kissin, Argerich have the gift to play whatever they want in the way the want.
What abt petrov
Argerich didnt even play this
Argerich never played this. Delusional fanboy :D
@@asalj4014 yes 😄
Liszt en pls
Cette interprétation montre que celle, définitive, de Julius Katchen, n'est finalement pas définitive. (Bien que ce soit diablement difficile de se l'ôter de l'oreille quand on y est habitué!)
De toute façon, c'est une grande erreur, bien commune, de penser qu'une certaine interprétation serait jamais définitive. Il y a de très grandes interprétations. Et puis, il y en a d'autres, très grandes aussi. Yuja délivre toujours de très grandes interprétations.
조율이 좀 이상한 거 같은데
Even the sheet music is a minor she’s playing g sharp minor! It makes no sense!!!
She's ignoring the dynamic markings.
But it makes no sense! Why is she playing a semi tone down?
out of sync
Variation 8 is technically not perfect.
It’s one of the cleanest versions ever performed live. You must really be a god of piano playing to say such thing!
@@lorenzoadamo1557 I know how difficult it is. Anyway, look at Kissin for example, he does better.
@@spiritussanctusband Kissin’s version is a studio recording. You might not know that in that occasion, one can literally cut every single bar and adjust wrong notes. As I wrote in my previous comment, I am talking about LIVE performances. Also, I find it infuriating when someone criticizes a recording or an artist with such arrogance. It really isn’t fair (in this particular recording) not to take in consideration all the godlike things she is doing with relatively small hands.
Nonsense
Perfect ...... This word have nothing to do with "Music".
techniq yes b ut musical no
troll yes b ut musically sensible no
