In that video she was beautiful but not well-slept...
Poor interview. The interviewer is interruptive and fails to consider listeners. Eg. She talks about the notoriously difficult piece but fails to inform us of the name of the composer or the piece.
Poor Yuja, she needed some makeup 💄.
She is beautiful, furthermore her mind melted into the thoughts of music made her becomes more feeling if musical beauty.
Huh?
如果他回來我能帶我的孩子嗎?他們很喜歡郎朗。
Where in Michigan? Troy? Canton?
i bet the kids just wanted to play with the piano XD
...Word!!!💥 ❤️4:00
Lol I like that little chuckle she made
She doesn't look her best here, a little washed out.
Yup she never cared about her appearance, that makes her even more attractive. Though I wonder what she did last night she clearly haven't had enough time to sleep
She’s usually exquisite
WHY did they not mention the Name of the most difficult piece of music so we could all know what to look for? It must be a Russian composer.
She looks more beautiful with longer hair .
I love her
I liked her before but not now, her playing is very technical, showing the speed, creating a atomosphere very stressful, as the busy world we are living. Mozart said" the music is not the notes, but in the silence between". In her playing "the beauty of silence " is very absent. Our time is very good but not great enough for a great pianist born.
I confess that it's not possible to hear her play Rachmaninoff without being carried along and swept away. I've been told that I have "perfect pitch"(I oncesang with the a capella "Chapel Choir" at Capital University as a youth) and I never heard her make a mistake, either. So hope I don't sound extreme whenI say I'd wear her finger nail clippings in a "good luck locket" --- if that wouldn't offend! Yuja, look for me in heaven if we both get there (we'll share an expresso parfait --- and "talk the feather off a circus pony"--- there's all the time in the world there! The earth is about a thousand miles below---for HEAVEN is really just "God's Barn". How do I know that? Jesus himself said so (Matthew 13:30, 35) plus God showed that it's true (believe it or not, it's a storehouse for good souls). Psalm 118 is mine --- believe it or not. And I once survived getting hi by a car and knocked 62 feet, suffered 14 broken bones [both lower legs, 3 ribs, upper rt. humerus, shattered tibia/fuibula both legs] and I drove truck in the Arabian desert for a 2-star General in the Jordanian military for eight years AFTER that accident in Germany. I recovered completely (my dad was a Christian pastor, my mom a church organist and intellectual) and the U.S. Army Dr. who first treated me said "I though you were a dead man when I first laid eyes on you --- you need to thank God because you will recover completely, if all these bones heal --- it was a miracle. I gave the entire "Schmerzengeld" from the insurance company to the Catholic Church in Bad Aibling, Germany ---- for distribution of free bibles there. Had the Germans known there Bibkes, they never would have began to persecute the "people of Jesus" ---- would they?
Her beauty has something really attractive for me.
How unusual,...<eye-roll>
The presenter : "the US is the perfect melting path where all talents florish" Very pretentious !...
yeah
Everyones offspring should be as talented and pleasant as this young person. A real treat listening to her play the piano. Bravo to you Yuja.
Gary Graffman taught Lang Lang for close to five years, and also taught Yuja Wang for six years. Both pianists have helped to inspire young children in China and other countries to learn to play the piano. Music is a lifetime endeavor, and one can still enjoy playing the piano in their golden years.
Wei Shen is naive in her statement that America is the place where all talents flourish. America is systematically ostrasizing and destroying innovative artists (the highest level of artistry).
By CIA snipers? Or the Illuminati?
SpookeyClown Be not deluded: this girl is a product of the Club.
Or an alien?
Hey intervalkid, are you just another foreign born America hater? If it wasn't for America, ya'll would be communist; your art would be government controlled IF you were even allowed to do art; you wouldn't have 'free' what you have today... and the list goes on and on. If you figure 'innovative' artists mean the weird, offensive, modern art... then you might as well move to the country you could love and support. Like I say to all of your kind, "If you don't like it here, then move away!"
She is almost certainly talking about the Prokofiev Second Concerto, which is kind of a specialty of hers, and which she first played about the time of this interview. There are several versions of her playing it on RUclips, She is the first pianist I have ever heard who does not slow down (she actually speeds up!) during the huge cadenza in the first movement.
MusicaNovaAZ Love that piece...very Romantic to me like a 1940's film 'noir with Cooper+Bergman.
That could be the piece. I wish they said which one in this interview. Prokofiev’s compositions are intense and Yuja takes his and Rachmaninov to new levels
She came to states at age 10 but still retain some slight Chinese accent?!?!
She's probably talking about Rachmaninoff Concerto No. 3, because she said somewhere it was "Most difficult piece in piano literature, for piano concerto genre". She also was talking about how she wasn't able to spread her hands (something it's also notorious for) and lots of jumping (like in the cadenza). I might be wrong though!
The difficult song they are talking about... is it 'Flight of the Bumble-Bee?'
Song?! She's a PIANIST.
did not knew that.. thanks for enlightening me . so why then do they write it differently in english (on the covers of her albums for exa.)? i write my name same way in Hebrew and in English...
She said ..."it's very ESSENTIAL."
She says "Sensual" not "Sexual." It can still make your day...
she aint no "Yujia" - it's Yuja. i mean get it right!
ts3011ISRL No. Yujia is the right spelling. Yuja was probably meant for easy pronunciation by Americans.
Surely Yujia and Yuja have pretty much the same pronunciation and in any case both are just a western approximation of her real Chinese name - neither is wrong, neither right.
Actually it's Yu Jia, if correctly written in pinyin. So YOU get it right!
@@mariapap8962 Hello from the early 2010's 👋🙋♂️
Yessir! (maam). Though Rach 3 has been given this romantic image of being the holy grail of concerti (which no doubt it is amazingly difficult and soooooooo lush and beautiful), all in all, I agree that it still doesn't hold a flame to Prok 2. Prokofiev really pushed the boundaries of tonality and technicality. I tried sight reading through it...let's just say it wasn't a pretty sight XD. Cheers.
wow. Yuja speaks english very beautifully!
All I can see is an incredible talent but she is boxed into her craft with little time to herself. Bwg
What a beautiful girl!
"the way I think about music and stuff is very.. SEXUAL, huh?" (4:01) Is this what she actually sayd or I'm dreaming? I hope it's actually what she said, it would really make my day!
Essential
@honron21 generally i think it is regarded is more difficult than rach 3 also.
@honron21 prokofiev's 2nd concerto.
She is not only an excellent pianist, but she is also very pretty. Totally my type of woman
"It's nice to have two cultures in one person." Biggest influence: her teacher back in China. Mom's a dancer, dad a percussionist. Femenine, pretty, well adjusted, happy. What a blessing.
@meagamon490 your face skin is very thick! can be compared to The Great Wall!
@IffyTiffy92 Agree, she need a really good sleep, her eyes are darker. when she has enough sleep, she will look much better, and prettier.
@triplecross123 Not really! Lang speaks english with strong chinese accent, and Yuja speaks much better english. you need to consider when she got to US, she was already 15. if put you to somewhere for only 6 years can you speak perfect local language?
English and some other European languages, absolutely! In fewer than 6 years.
@meagamon490 I think she said very successful not sexual. did you felt sexual?
0:17 penis
Sounds painful... the interviewer's accent...
I love you Yuja!
what is that extremely difficult piece called?
