Last week I heard and see a concert with Yuja and the Mahler Chamber Orchestre in Munich. And I had the unbelievable pleasure to meet Ms Wang after the concert, talk to her a few minutes, and she is really an absolutly friendly down-to-earth woman. A very natural and very apart person! Thanks Yuja for this short moment, I am deeply impressed.
Now 70 and adored Chopin since my teens. Some of the Ballades are not of this world but for sheer beauty and the expression of young love turned to music the second movement here is unmatched. Brings tears to soften my aging dry eyes.
She has approached the piano as a baby, in whom I assume was her father. Her life is as pianist. I wish her the multitude of happiness she brings to all of us in her personal life!
I am not musically trained, don’t understand any of the technical terms. I just enjoy classical music and , after coming across this piece, have listened to it three times in a row. Some passages are so beautiful, something inside me leaps up and sighs in happiness. Play it again. Thank you, Yuja Wang, for bringing so much joy and happiness with you incomparable playing.
I don't normally like to comment, but this is absolutely awesome! It's such a stigma that classical music is bad or weird in my experience but all it is trying to do is convey emotions. The fact that you listen to it and enjoy the feelings and emotions is very heartening to see ( is heartening a word? )! Have a great day.
Époustouflant de musicalité, je ne parle pas de sa technique, c'est une extra-terrestre... Je n'ai jamais entendu une musique de Chopin aussi proche que je l'imagine dans ma tête. C'est parfait. Que dire de plus... Si... MERCI!
Best pianist with unmatched technicality, genius I have no words to describe her incredible talent, I play myself but being around pianos for last 65 years, hear all who try to be the best she leave them far behind. Love her ❤️
I will never understand how a human being can memorize such complex melodies, including all dynamic nuances, in this length. Not even if it was just one piece. But the scope of her repertoire is simply immeasurable. I've watched dozens of her videos now and never spotted a single sheet of music. How does she do that?
I think like everyone else of top musicians, training 5 -8 hours a day with sheet music, for years and years, and after some years the music will sit not only in the brain but also in the fingers.
I play the piano. When I was younger, the pieces would someway set in my “memory and fingers” as another commenter put it, allowing me to play without music, and I have a terrible memory. In high school my best subject was math. I always wanted it to be an other subject that I would do so well in, but I had a hard time remembering. I found that hands on doing something, was my best method of learning and remembering. I always felt inadequate as a student. Although, I was top in my class in high school all four years in math, and Latin in junior high, when it came to College. I decided to change my major from Math after my freshman year. But struggled through my tests in other majors due to my memory difficulties until I graduated.-- yes, it always amazes me how the good or great pianist are able to remember all these complex pieces with sharps, flats, various piano notations that guides one regarding tone, speed, inflections, octaves, and much more.
yeah, you could do it too! I mean memorize complex music. humans are amazingly musical. just think of how many songs you could sing by heart right now. and you really play this stuff over and over and over when learning it, and you intimately learn its logic and flow and what melody leads to what's next.
Как музыкант запоминает столько нотного текста? Прежде всего - это феноменальная одарённость во всём: память, внутренний слух, ритмическая точность, гармоническое мышление, природная сверхвиртуозность, эмоциональность, артистизм. А ещё великолепная школа , огромный труд и всецелая любовь к музыке. Вообщем, большой Божий дар уровня великого Моцарта, Шопена, Листа 🔥🔥🔥💓💓💓🎶🎶🎶
Yuja Wang continues to be my favorite pianist. An understatement ...as I consistently find her to be the most profound inspiration to my own pursuits as a performance artist. Yuja's artisty, dedication and devotion to the work is the example that lifts us into the potential of our best selves. In our troubled world, she is a welcoming light.
It always amazes me how these piano concerto composers back in the day were making the most wonderful, but unplayable things possible, yet some can actually do it.
J’adore ce concerto de Frédéric Chopin, l’un des chefs d’oeuvre que je crois parmi les plus beaux qu’il ait produits . Il est joué de façon admirable, sublime, attendrissante. Merci pour tant de bonheur.
Για μια σειρά αρκετών πλέον ετών η μεγάλη πιανίστα Yuja Wang, κρατάει ψηλά την καλλιτεχνική αξία της.- ...Σας ευχαριστούμε για την ανάρτηση... For a number of years now, the great pianist Yuja Wang, keeps her artistic value high.- ...Thank you for the post...
This music is well known, it has a tradition of also well known interpreters with also well known interpretations. I suggest that we skip all that, and just listen. In my ears ( Sennheiser Momentum headphones) this sounds wonderful. Yujas playing is the most responsive playing I have heard, and her version of this music is just perfect. My opinion.
She is a complete technical master of her instrument, but what I love most about her playing is that she is fully engaged. Her love for the music is in her face and in her soul.
Yuja has matured into such a wonderful pianist, her virtuosity so effortless that you’re freed to enjoy the music with no concern for any technical or musical error - there are none!
The wonderfulness and beauty and comfort of her performance Ìs immeasurable and off the charts She is a modern Alchemist embodies the musical aesthetics of Chopin, and generates impression and pleasure
Talk about filing an inside straight! Chopin, Wang, Tilson-Thomas, and the SF Symphony! Favorite peoples and sounds from all over. Thank you Peter for this treasure!
the orchestra was asleep half of the time. Strings out of tune at the beginning. They dragged the performance and Yuja tried very hard to intensify the loose atmosphere.
I have listened to/watched Yuja Wang perform 15 piano concertos from Rachmaninoff and Chopin to Ravel and Bartok. While my favorite is the Schumann, she proves to my ears again and again why she is the most astonishingly gifted pianist performing today.
I would cross the ocean to hear Ms Wang play. She so brilliantly captures the rhapsodic, and episodic nature of Chopin with her technical mastery, I can think of no other pianist in our time. The orchestra is somewhat lackluster
As an artistic phenomenon, Ms Wang deserves her expressive freedom. Her talent and beauty together are what make her special to all who admire her. Each aspect alone is enough to deserve our admiration, and still on top of those we see the bright, cheerful, intelligent , humorous side of her. Her ability to bring it all together creates for a us the rare opportunity that we have in our lifetime to see such amazing alignment of the stars.
What a treat to be the one thousandth person to click the like button. Yuga Wang is certainly growing on me. Her virtuosity is matched by her nuanced interpretations, sensitivity, and musical acumen.
I can't believe I've never heard this work before! What an astounding treat to have Yuja sitting at the sensual 88 key's of this gorgeours Steinway! A very pretty work performed by a very pretty artist! Glimpses of sounds from heaven! GOD bless Yuja in the name of Jesus always! 😍
It's Chopin without his sadness and sorrow. Jazzy style instead. I love this interpretation. So many pianists express their own black thoughts through their Chopin playing. But Yuja Wang is pure joy, energy, poetry. And as in a trapeze artists couple, MTT is here to catch her when she flies in the air.
I still think there is both joy and sorrow in her playing. And all other sorts of human feelings. It is Chopin! And I agree about Yujas playing in this, it is for me the most sublime playing of this second piano consert.
PS This is in F minor. So it can not only be pure joy. But I can understand your point of view, Laurent, and I also like it. But I myself, beeing a person that always prefer minor, like also Yujas version for her taking care of the not so joyful parts of this consert. Best wishes!
I have always loved this music. And now I have another favourite pianist in interpreting this. As I understand it, Yuja Wangs glamour style in clothing is not at all reflected in her interpretation, no, she plays this with so much inner feeling and admiration for Chopins sometimes hesitating and lyrlc way of expressing himself, that I can nothing but adore her playing.
Vibrancy and youth gives us a chance to see greatness manifest in a young and beautiful woman. Best of many years ahead to Yujia Wang performance and inspiration to youth that can raise this field of music to new heights.
After all, I find this to be the best interpretation. It has has the drama, the articulation, the inner feeling, the poetry that is needed when you want to listen to a really good playing in Chopin Conserto no 2. So thanks Yuja for this! And San Francisco Symphony conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas!
The best Chopin piano concerto no 2 players are Really=Artur Rubinstein The Golden tone for Chopin no 2! Grigory Sokolov The Most Titanic! Sokolov the best piano Sound! Vladimir Ashkenazy The most Colorful Volcanic Piano Sound for Chopin concerto 2! Stanislav Igolinsky the most beautiful version for Chopin concerto no 2!
@@RaineriHakkarainen Nice that we both love this music. And thank you for your suggestions, witnessing about you having a really deep knowledge about different interpretations of this concerto. I will try them, also knowing that most of them dont have the same sound quality as Yujas in HD.
The Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, Op. 21, is a piano concerto composed by Frédéric Chopin in fall 1829. Chopin composed the piece before he had finished his formal education, at around 20 years of age. It was first performed on 17 March 1830, in Warsaw, Poland, with the composer as soloist. It was the second of his piano concertos to be published (after the Piano Concerto No. 1), and so was designated as "No. 2", even though it was written first.
Bottom ( pardon the pun ) line ,, Ms. Wang on the piano is simply spectacular, she really does have it all does she not ? ,, when you are that good you can wear whatever the hell you want !!
It is in the third movement Yuja Wang really dominates the scene. Listen at 24:07. If you have any serious questions about this (her dress or her looks) please report this to Peter Chan. I myself just enjoy her playing.
A stunning performance of one of my very favourite concertos. Her fingers just dance over the keys and gives it a whole new life. Well done and thank you, Dear Yuja!
She is the culmination of hundreds of years, lifetimes of singular toil and heartache by countless amazing humans, from canny and inventive instrument makers, composers who have heard the universe cry out to them, to musicians who have honed their crafts to an incredible finesse and this knowledge has been passed down through the generations to reach this young girl who has taken up this life to further this heritage. I get angry when people call this a “gift from god”. Rubbish. It is much more important and awesome than that.
Pixie - an excellent comment about this pinnacle of human achievement. Specially true, that none of the hundreds of "Gods" men have invented could have dreamt up Yuja Wang, and the music she gifts to we fortunate listeners...
Shi is a gift who Can be unique with her outstanding skills. Without Such skills, you can only fall into what is supposed to be the normal "decent" way of interpretation.
Her repetoire is vast. From the concertos of Rachmaninov, Lizt, Prokofiev, Chopin, Shostakovich,Schumann, Ravel....the list is endless. Her fingerwork and manual dexterity is absolutely amazing. She is a terrific down to earth person too as i had the oportunity to exchange a few words with her after a concert in which she gave an out of this world performance of Ravel's concerto for the left hand. Just amazing.
Chopin is so natural to her since a very young age. Passionate, sensitive, elegance yet completely original. In a sense her Chopin is too good that it does not feel challenging enough to perform often. I suggest her agent should book more Chopin for her, and that will outshine those undeserving recent Chopin competition winners back to square one.
And everyone has the right to express his/her opinion. So a question about how many performances or recordings you have heard of this ( in an obvious way of making your comment less important) is not something to take seriously. I agree, Vito Cortesi, "There is no one that plays this Piano Concerto like her!" I like it very much. And I have heard a lot of interpretations.
@@beckerhanshermann8372 No one comes close to Yu Ja Wang when it comes to playing Romantic period concertos in this world. PERIOD. I'm a professional musician.
The uniqueness of Yuja Wang -- her unfathomable talent, sheer virtuosity, and ever-expanding repertoire and following -- is proven by the consistently irrelevant, tasteless, unsolicited non-musical observations that attempt to challenge the stream of rapturous acclaim she so thoroughly deserves. If one dislikes Madonna or Rihanna for whatsoever reason, one just steers clear of them and their You Tube performances. But in the case of Yuja, the unreceptive just can't seem to stay away, or hold their tongues which suggest she threatens their limited conceptions tied to 'now late great' performers of the past. On what illogical grounds can someone dismiss a serious concert performance due to the soloist's style of dress, her gender, or her Orientalism? Do they also compare Rubinstein's extrovertish worldly womanising with the need of the effete Chopin to take refuge in butch George Sand, which is far more closely paralleled in Horowitz'childless steadfast marriage? I've never stopped to consider which of Gould, Rubinstein and Horowitz wears the snappier penguin outfit -- they all adhere to the theory that doing a Liberace detracts from focusing on the works of the masters. If style of dress does impinge on a performance, why do we not find directives in concerto scores --- Allegro - sports jacket and cravat; Adagio - charcoal overcoat and scarf; Prestissimo - Nike Air cross-trainers.
Hopefully, we eventually develop an essential open approach that we continue to listen to Bach, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff, per se, provided the performer meets the minimum levels of accomplishment as soloist to match the standards of the orchestra, rather than become trapped in the pedantic approach that imposes a pre-established criterion that Bach is Bach as in Gould for example, Chopin as in Rubinstein, and Rachmaninoff as in Horowitz' Rach 3. The pedant is the equivalent of the prophet of doom trudging the streets with his placard announcing "The end of the world is nigh". Yuja Wang represents a product of emancipation, 21st century globalism, and personal individualism. I have never felt her personal choice in dress, quite likely an expression of her generation and her success in breaking free from the yoke of a rigidly dominated society into which she was born, impinges in any way on what she brings to the steadily increasing repertoire she has explored. Nor does her gender particularly impact on her performance. She is simply a DYNAMIC force serving music --- a fabulously freshly talented virtuouso and sensitive accompanist and ensemble player --- and clearly one who is rightfully loved by those who appreciate who she is, namely, the majority of music lovers who have heard her play.
To that impressive and imperative level of insight, I must add: I could care less if she even wears clothes. Her performances are so mature, so technically amazing, so demonstrative of what the composer had sought, that any negative criticism of her MUST adhere solely within the ad hominem attack mode, nothing else. Jealousy leads such a morbid way of thinking and reacting. - David Lyga
@@beckerhanshermann8372 Your reading, like Yuja's wardrobe, is scanty and prone to misinterpretation, and your writing, like the opinion you hold in regard to her appearance, provocative. Apropos, the nonsense you refuted, surely it is clear that Chopin's taking refuge in the butch Georges Sand, and Horowitz, similarly, clinging to a steadfast woman in a childless marriage are clear statements, only more respectful for it is almost irrelevant and none of our bloody business unless one pursues a behaviouristic approach to the analysis of music, musicians, and musicality. Where you fail in your historical account of earlier trends towards nakedness and your unpersuasive opinion that Yuja's dress is promotional device, is that she is a young female star entitled to get a kick from flaunting her talent and musicality, just as Liszt amused himself tossing cigars stubs and watching the swooning aristocratic female fans pulling one another's hair out to bag the souvenir. My comments were largely to do with the miraculous broad musical and pianistic talent that is Ms Wang, how it blossoms continuously, and how she is loved for that - - irrespective of dress - - by a massive body of music-lovers. On that you have not registered!
@@beckerhanshermann8372 Some say "gift from God", others thoughtlessly prefer the abbreviation GOAT, without considering that the goat is the exact opposite of a gift from God. But the unfunny thing is that you think you're smart enough to criticize James Hsiung´s' words. Do you know this: Nothing has been distributed so justly by the dear God as the intellect. Because everyone thinks he has enough of it. 🙏
Maravilhosa,excepcional! Ainda bem que a música existe e persiste,ajudando nos a superar um mundo triste e cinza!!Yuja é de um talento extraordinário! !!!!
The worst part of watching such a talented artist is when the camera keeps cutting away from the skill of the pianist especially at a very skilful part, after all it’s a piano concerto you want to watch.

Who says that concert piano playing is only for male genders? Really there is no gender preference when it comes to God given talent as it's the skill we're talking about here. Though its true that the Music industry is dominated by men there will never be sex discrimination whatever instrument it maybe, from strings to percussive instruments the women can do it too👫

A stunning performance of one of my very favourite concertos. Her fingers just dance over the keys and gives it a whole new life. Well done and thank you, Dear Yuja!
Only a genius like Yuja Wang can do it. She is the best in the World ❤
Fantastically great performance!!
She is the culmination of hundreds of years, lifetimes of singular toil and heartache by countless amazing humans, from canny and inventive instrument makers, composers who have heard the universe cry out to them, to musicians who have honed their crafts to an incredible finesse and this knowledge has been passed down through the generations to reach this young girl who has taken up this life to further this heritage. I get angry when people call this a “gift from god”. Rubbish. It is much more important and awesome than that.
Pixie - an excellent comment about this pinnacle of human achievement.
Specially true, that none of the hundreds of "Gods" men have invented could have dreamt up Yuja Wang, and the music she gifts to we fortunate listeners...
Chopin can rest in peace, for sure, if his 'Spirit' can hear Ms Yuja Wang play his composition.
Shi is a gift who Can be unique with her outstanding skills. Without Such skills, you can only fall into what is supposed to be the normal "decent" way of interpretation.
Our hometown San Francisco Symphony is really world-class!
Una de jovenes mas destacadas e importantes pianistas de la actualidad !!!!!!!!
.
Il y en a bien d'autres. Mais elle est beaucoup plus présente sur les médias !😂
oh my, oh MY. Grasping upon the seat to which adheres me. A wonderful and powerful display of the best of the best. Yuja reminds us of our Souls.

An excellent interpretation with good flow, nice rubatos and a Larghetto at 15:14 that almost takes the breath away from me.
YEs! I always say, "rob" um for what they got, and take um for all they are worth!😁
Her repetoire is vast. From the concertos of Rachmaninov, Lizt, Prokofiev, Chopin, Shostakovich,Schumann, Ravel....the list is endless. Her fingerwork and manual dexterity is absolutely amazing. She is a terrific down to earth person too as i had the oportunity to exchange a few words with her after a concert in which she gave an out of this world performance of Ravel's concerto for the left hand. Just amazing.
Sublime rendering by Yuja Wang, and subtle equilibrium with the orchestra whenever wanted.
Yuja Wang My Favorite Pianist~
I Think That She is World Best Pianist~
BRAVO! ENCORE MS WANG...Chopin is one of my favourite classiCAL MUSICIAN!
So beautifully performed. The ending is so well played it might be the best .
Pure ecstasy. And what a piece of Magic from Chopin
That second movement is absolutely stunning. Thank you for your immeasurable dedication!!!
Chopin is so natural to her since a very young age. Passionate, sensitive, elegance yet completely original. In a sense her Chopin is too good that it does not feel challenging enough to perform often. I suggest her agent should book more Chopin for her, and that will outshine those undeserving recent Chopin competition winners back to square one.
Je découvre aujourd'hui cette merveilleuse interprétation. Quelle finesse de jeu, quelle musicalité, quelle énergie! pas de pathos enfin.
I do love her.. so, I cannot be really objective !! Superb concerto played by a superb lady…. Without forgetting the high qu’aigle the orchestra !!!
Miss Wang is China's best gift to the musical ofr the Western musical world.
Thanks for this incredible treat!🌺
Indeed she is a gift from god!
Simply astonishing. Watching her play transports me to another world!
she is ONE with the keyboard with subtle passion. Outstanding!
Beautifully recorded. And of course, Yuja....
There is no one that plays this Piano Concerto like her!
I lo g ti
@@beckerhanshermann8372 Maybe but you don't Know it however you can't judge about my tastes!
Ye, everyone is different.
And everyone has the right to express his/her opinion. So a question about how many performances or recordings you have heard of this ( in an obvious way of making your comment less important) is not something to take seriously. I agree, Vito Cortesi, "There is no one that plays this Piano Concerto like her!" I like it very much. And I have heard a lot of interpretations.
@@beckerhanshermann8372 No one comes close to Yu Ja Wang when it comes to playing Romantic period concertos in this world. PERIOD.
I'm a professional musician.
我已經幾乎不聽華沙蕭邦鋼琴大賽了，但我依然在聽王羽佳，他和包括樂團~
No.1 piano concerto of all time, in my heart.
Brava, amazing beautiful!
Again BRILLIANT...and no distractions makes it even sweeter..;)!
珠洛玉盘。王羽佳把肖邦的这首钢琴协奏曲演绎得灵动非凡!
I Love YUJA WANG!!! She's So Talented and a Beautiful Lady!!!
The uniqueness of Yuja Wang -- her unfathomable talent, sheer virtuosity, and ever-expanding repertoire and following -- is proven by the consistently irrelevant, tasteless, unsolicited non-musical observations that attempt to challenge the stream of rapturous acclaim she so thoroughly deserves. If one dislikes Madonna or Rihanna for whatsoever reason, one just steers clear of them and their You Tube performances. But in the case of Yuja, the unreceptive just can't seem to stay away, or hold their tongues which suggest she threatens their limited conceptions tied to 'now late great' performers of the past. On what illogical grounds can someone dismiss a serious concert performance due to the soloist's style of dress, her gender, or her Orientalism? Do they also compare Rubinstein's extrovertish worldly womanising with the need of the effete Chopin to take refuge in butch George Sand, which is far more closely paralleled in Horowitz'childless steadfast marriage? I've never stopped to consider which of Gould, Rubinstein and Horowitz wears the snappier penguin outfit -- they all adhere to the theory that doing a Liberace detracts from focusing on the works of the masters. If style of dress does impinge on a performance, why do we not find directives in concerto scores --- Allegro - sports jacket and cravat; Adagio - charcoal overcoat and scarf; Prestissimo - Nike Air cross-trainers.
Hopefully, we eventually develop an essential open approach that we continue to listen to Bach, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff, per se, provided the performer meets the minimum levels of accomplishment as soloist to match the standards of the orchestra, rather than become trapped in the pedantic approach that imposes a pre-established criterion that Bach is Bach as in Gould for example, Chopin as in Rubinstein, and Rachmaninoff as in Horowitz' Rach 3. The pedant is the equivalent of the prophet of doom trudging the streets with his placard announcing "The end of the world is nigh".
Yuja Wang represents a product of emancipation, 21st century globalism, and personal individualism. I have never felt her personal choice in dress, quite likely an expression of her generation and her success in breaking free from the yoke of a rigidly dominated society into which she was born, impinges in any way on what she brings to the steadily increasing repertoire she has explored. Nor does her gender particularly impact on her performance. She is simply a DYNAMIC force serving music --- a fabulously freshly talented virtuouso and sensitive accompanist and ensemble player --- and clearly one who is rightfully loved by those who appreciate who she is, namely, the majority of music lovers who have heard her play.
To that impressive and imperative level of insight, I must add: I could care less if she even wears clothes. Her performances are so mature, so technically amazing, so demonstrative of what the composer had sought, that any negative criticism of her MUST adhere solely within the ad hominem attack mode, nothing else. Jealousy leads such a morbid way of thinking and reacting. - David Lyga
I love her!😍

@@beckerhanshermann8372 Your reading, like Yuja's wardrobe, is scanty and prone to misinterpretation, and your writing, like the opinion you hold in regard to her appearance, provocative.
Apropos, the nonsense you refuted, surely it is clear that Chopin's taking refuge in the butch Georges Sand, and Horowitz, similarly, clinging to a steadfast woman in a childless marriage are clear statements, only more respectful for it is almost irrelevant and none of our bloody business unless one pursues a behaviouristic approach to the analysis of music, musicians, and musicality.
Where you fail in your historical account of earlier trends towards nakedness and your unpersuasive opinion that Yuja's dress is promotional device, is that she is a young female star entitled to get a kick from flaunting her talent and musicality, just as Liszt amused himself tossing cigars stubs and watching the swooning aristocratic female fans pulling one another's hair out to bag the souvenir.
My comments were largely to do with the miraculous broad musical and pianistic talent that is Ms Wang, how it blossoms continuously, and how she is loved for that - - irrespective of dress - - by a massive body of music-lovers. On that you have not registered!
Uma extraordinaria pianista.
My favorite song. Made me fall in love with Chopin.
Não me contento só em ouvir, mas acompanhar as mãos e os dedos do pianista. Fico maravilhada. Normalmente me arrepio.
Yuja Wang is a gift from God ！
@@beckerhanshermann8372 after one more diet session.
@@beckerhanshermann8372 Isn't it possible for Ms. Covid to visit you?
@@beckerhanshermann8372 Some say "gift from God", others thoughtlessly prefer the abbreviation GOAT, without considering that the goat is the exact opposite of a gift from God.
But the unfunny thing is that you think you're smart enough to criticize James Hsiung´s' words.
Do you know this: Nothing has been distributed so justly by the dear God as the intellect. Because everyone thinks he has enough of it.
🙏
You are too James
I only wish He had left her under MY tree.....
Love Yuja Artistry. Great collaboration with MTT & Orchestra
And just heard he is battling a brain tumor! How sad...
Maravilhosa,excepcional! Ainda bem que a música existe e persiste,ajudando nos a superar um mundo triste e cinza!!Yuja é de um talento extraordinário! !!!!
너무 좋습니다.... ㅠ
The worst part of watching such a talented artist is when the camera keeps cutting away from the skill of the pianist especially at a very skilful part, after all it’s a piano concerto you want to watch.
Wonderful Yuja!
Exquisita interpretación. El 2°movimiento me gusta cómo lo interpreta. ❤

You want music? She's got you!!!!
Браво Шопен, Браво оркестр и
дирижор, ,Браво ЮЯ!
The Brain of a musician as different from normal people is confirmed of cience
I can see a little bit of Zimerman in her interpretation, as always she’s fantastic and she played beautifully ‼️.
Who says that concert piano playing is only for male genders? Really there is no gender preference when it comes to God given talent as it's the skill we're talking about here. Though its true that the Music industry is dominated by men there will never be sex discrimination whatever instrument it maybe, from strings to percussive instruments the women can do it too👫
