I'm playing this piece, too... Hearing Yuja's interpretation live in Aix en Provence I was surprised like not often before in my musical life. Vikingur Olafsson played a fantastic rendition of all Glass-etudes, but Yuja was the first who doesn't play only an etude...she made MUSIC!!! Her incomparable pianissimo and her highly powerful fortissimo are unique. Btw. instead of Glass' (boring) tempo 132 she and Vikingur Olafsson (...and me, too) is playing tempo 172. Philip Glass seems to like it, because he posted Yuja's interpretation on his own Facebook-Account.
@@michaelschefold3299 great pianist has not his nose on the Key-board but his music is above keyboard , y Wang is famous but a little demonstrative in my opinion , she's a pianist of our erea and not Cortot- Lipatti or Clara Haskil it-s a fact
I have watched every Philip Glass etude number 6 video I can find on UA-cam and this is by far my favorite. Of course the recording is outstanding, but Ms. Wang's performance is intense and perfect. Saved to my favorites!
@@whatsyourglitch One of the greatest in history. We are lucky to be able to witness such greatness, beauty and creativity. I consider myself amongst the very lucky to have attented her concert in Montreal. For anyone to speak so negativly of this jewel, is shocking.
on top of being a musical genius talent wise she's a CLASS act. Let's just appreciate all the difficult, thousands of hrs of practice she put in to give us this gift of Artistry.
Music is what you make of it. She makes an otherwise uninteresting mundane piece sublime. Yuja is the crème de la crème of the current crop of classical pianists.
I attended her concert here in Chicago Symphony Orchestra hall about 12 years ago. That was the time I first heard her name. I thought that was not a human being, they were faking it with a robot. Like what people said: from then on, the rest is history.😅
I have to assume that you've never heard of Arvo Pärt or John Adams, to name just two serious contemporary composers who leave Philip Glass in the dust. He has written some very nice movie scores, though.
@@excelsior999 I've heard of both. I have multiple Arvo Pärt CDs, and I'm not overly fond of Adams' music which, though heavily influenced by Glass, doesn't appeal to me because l usually prefer "pure" classical in its own lane and 20th century minimalism in its own lane. The mix of the two - as practiced by Adams - is jarring, in my opinion. Arvo Pärt, while minimalist, is heavily influenced by other composers whom l love, especially Shostakovich. I also love Górecki and respect Tavener but Glass is the ultimate composer of minimalist classical music to me.
Going through the comments... you show a bit of skin and you attract haters almost immediately - always right on time too almost like a physical law.. lmao...just ready to punish ya with their "superiority" haha like true imperialists that never learn. On that note, sublime performance. Strong talent.
@@excelsior999 I have thought about it for a few minutes. It is not weird….people love to hate Glass and Wang it is perfectly normal. As usual all of my opinions are subject to interpretation. Yes of course starting with you….I went to your UA-cam page….Weird playlist…most likely pursuing negative activity in Cambodia….
So lovely! I'm surprised that Glass decided to reach a cadential point in the phrases. It must've been life-changing, since he's devoted so muc of his effort in avoiding cadential points.
Yes, that's what I want also. She needs to compose at least 1 or 2 major pieces of music to complete her "resume" and a claim to greatness. 1 or 2 "phenom" students wouldn't hurt either!
@@timshank3328 There is a "Master Class" 🙄 that she gave a few years ago which is on UA-cam. It was very thin - nothing like the Master Classes conducted by, say, Sir Andras Schiff, Leon Fleischer, or even Lang Lang, which are also on YT.
Cette pianiste balaye très large dans son choix des musiques interprétées, du contemporain au classique. Son succès internional n est pas le fruit du hasard.
The concert was broadcast on German television, and Wang was interviewed afterwards. During the interview, she wore a Rolex on her left arm, which was constantly in the picture. Wang has been advertising for Rolex for a long time. She also advertises Dior by wearing Dior stage dresses. Perhaps she will bring a suitcase on stage with her soon, as she also advertises Rimowa. Hardworking girl, this Miss Wang.
I could tell at the beginning of the performance she feels very uneasy with such a big crowd, but then she becomes composed and stay focus, amazing pianist,
Actually Glass took his music beyond the mere emotions with Buddhist truth, in seeing that all phenomena are ultimately equal in the illusion of this life. This piece should not be played expressing passion, but in the "one taste"beyond it, that is the real genius of Glass's work.
dont know what you mean thats deep philosophy stuff but as a piano player myself (D+ compared to Yuga ) hours of practice seeing hearing the clarity perfection thumbs up times a billion
Yuja Wang is a Shrewd Cookie. The Persona that she created for herself has made her famous and wealthy. She never would have had this kind of a career if she had stayed in China.

Tempo seems to be even higher, near 200
Can you imagine that being played at the indicated speed? Yawn already! 😴😴😴😴😴

Each year passes and she improves with an already amazing talent!
Thanks for the great video . 🙏
She is, something else. That's for sure.
I love Philip Glass' works but no one can imbue his pieces with as much passion and fire as Yuja!
There's also Alon Goldstein that makes this piece shine
@@octavianraducostea8595 but does he looks as good in a minidress? I think not! ;-)

She looks genuinely moved
She's fantastic. And she enjoys wearing what she wants to wear. Brava.

Gotta love the attitude of the orchestra's member at 2:29 just behind. She closes her eyes and just bathes into this moment fully. Just wow.
Am instructed by this artist . Am ever working at eighty to improve my playing .
Super talented woman
Mind blowing talent 👏
A interpretação da Yuja é a mais bonita que já ouvi comparando com outros pianistas. Parabéns!!!!! Te admiro muito!!!!!
If there's such a thing as "Diva Of The Keyboard," Yuja is it.
Music is what you make of it. She makes an otherwise uninteresting mundane piece sublime. Yuja is the crème de la crème of the current crop of classical pianists.
Glass and Yuja ❤

no one ever performed the etudes of Philip Glass the special way Yuja did in Vienna , sublime
Absolutely fantastic! Thank you!❤❤❤
Brilliant performance! She bought her own playing uniqueness, style and emotion to the piece. Bravo!
😊 Thanks and Congratulations 👍✌️✨💐 Incredibly joyful music 🎼🎹🎶 Fantastic job ❤
E' una spirale di bellezza. Sublime.
What an amazing pianist. Magical.
Absolute fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yuja is the most exciting, beautiful and talented pianist in the world 🌍!! Would love to meet her!! 😊 🎶 🌈
Keep dreaming Cecil.🤑😜
I love Yuja Wang!❤

yes, that's what I called the alien many years ago
An unbelievably skilled performer Wang truly is.
An exquisite piece. It evokes associations with Glass's piano duet from "Stoker"
Yuja is a great pianist playing the music of the world's greatest living composer. Haters will hate. Shake it off!

@@terjoe4729 well, you two just battle it out! I am always ready to listen to Yuja Wang play, along with other great pianists out there.
I love how she brings something new to this etude.
Simplement sublime.... ❤
The best thing of our times
Long live yuja 😊
Yuja Wang is no Martha Argerich. That's for sure.
@@excelsior999 Martha is Martha, Yuja is Yuja...
@@michaelschefold3299 I cannot disagree with that statement.
To jest świetne!🤩Brawo!,👏
Magic!
She elevated minimalistic music to new heights.
Her minimalistic stage attire has descended to a new Low for female recitalists.
@@excelsior999😂
@@excelsior999 Yes, you hit the nail on the head! Wang's stage costumes are the height of tastelessness!
Extraordinario !!! Aliena artista !! Talento altissimo !
I did’nt know YUJA !!!
I love PHILIP Glass because Hania Rani !
Non i ' m going to discovert YUJA
You're gonna discover a whole new universe of Yuja perfomance and her vision of music❤ Enjoy 🎉

Too much skin.
@@Diesel9 Lol ok
@@Diesel9why?
Is it fat people complaining or the wives of men who are pretending not to look?
Well As far as I can see... There are no public at all!!! I Love Yuja Wang!!!
Weird negative comments. I love PG and I love YW this is great.
Are you in the habit of saying and thinking that anyone who holds an opinion or a POV which differs from yours is "weird" and/or "negative"?

@@excelsior999 I CONFIRM THAT NEGATIVE COMMENTS ARE WEIRD, BOTH COMPOSITION AND PIANIST SENSIBILITY BEING ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFULL....
People are jealous of those who are beautiful and excellent.
Yes many weirdos hiding behind the keyboard who are jealous and don’t even understand piano.
Beautiful and talented woman
So lovely! I'm surprised that Glass decided to reach a cadential point in the phrases. It must've been life-changing, since he's devoted so muc of his effort in avoiding cadential points.
Simplesmente, apaixonante!
She never stops improving wtf
I NEVER HEARD THIS PIECE BEFORE…..VERY SENSITIVE AND BEAUTIFUL, IN FRONT OF SUCH A HUGE AUDIENCE, WELL DONE YUJA
She looks fabulous!
Amazing! ❤
🎉MARAVILLOSO🎉
Wowww!
Quelle extraordinaire pianiste !
Excellent piano playing 👍❤
A 1st-year piano student could play that piece, and just as well.
@@excelsior999 Stupid comment
She played it with her interpretation! Completely what Glass wants. She is brilliant. I hope she starts composing.
Musicians don't decide to start composing at age 35.
Yes, that's what I want also. She needs to compose at least 1 or 2 major pieces of music to complete her "resume" and a claim to greatness. 1 or 2 "phenom" students wouldn't hurt either!

Surprised Steinway lets her play their pianos - they all end up on fire after Yuja's done!
There is Yuja, and then there is everyone else.
That’s some player. Boy ?? Wow
I fell in love.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Every day she is quite something, two fo that generation of Chinese pianists become a force of and with nature: Wang and Lang
