Uf... i'm so impressed.... from 16:55 to 17:25 (for me) Chopin created one of the most beautiful moments of music, but just a few interpreters make me feel that way. She is one of them. I have no words.
@@armaniconstantin6809 Yes, he made 2 recordings, I bought the early one many years ago, he was only 18 and quite marvelous, the Los Angeles Times compared him to "young Josef Hoffman' A concerto like this one must have several recordings, Gilels/Ormandy and Nelson Frieres 1979 Radio Broadcast are also superb.
Yuja is absolutely stunning I agree. However, have you listened to Khatia Buniatishvili? She, imo eclipses most, with most that she plays! I’m absolutely gobsmacked by her ability to become one with every piece she plays. It’s like every one is her favourite. No one else includes their orchestra and conductor as she does. Her concertos, even her Gershwin are pure ‘in the flow’ to watch. Hypnotic.
@@blissbombseventeen8114 Yes, Khatia is quite magnificent. Her Brahms and Rachmaninoff Concertos are among the very best. One to watch is young Alexandra Dovgan who I believe may already be a keyboard giant.
@@789armstrong-Yes! Alexandra is a superstar! I also wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of Yuja's performance here. Crappy recording and all, but for me, it was off the charts on the goosebumpometer.
Thank you for posting. I've been waiting for Yuja-Chopin for quite some time and not disappointed. I see Freddy has been here and to his point, I suspect Yuja has a steel spine that allows her to put up with the unsavory comments of detractors. I on the other hand find her playing of this and many other works full of passion and flawless. I will save my bravo for the final movement.
you probably dont care at all but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost my password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Marley Colin i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
The video was recorded by someone in the back seat and not an official record. The record is a poor quality. I think it is a first video of chopin concerto played by YW. Thanks for uploading it.
From Kennedy Center website: www.kennedy-center.org/calendar/Event/NNCSG#tickets National Symphony Orchestra: Hans Graf, conductor / Yuja Wang, piano, plays Chopin A star on the ascent, the provocative prodigy Yuja Wang brings her "practically superhuman keyboard technique" (San Francisco Chronicle) to performances of Chopin's Piano Concerto No.1, conducted by Hans Graf. Thursday, December 6, 2012 - Saturday, December 8, 2012
I didn't make the comparison myself, I replied to someone who had done those comparisons, and I did not agree with him. I think Yuja Wang is a talented pianist. Her look for you is a great advantage ... I think, on the opposite, that it is a handicap bc we expect a pianist to be a man in suit and not a pretty young woman with mini-dresses. Do we have to wait that shes old and ugly to praise her art ...? Sad perspective for young woman artist.
My god-wonders never cease...a comment you post and did NOT delete! Getting to ya again a bit, eh freddie? ;-) Of course...this nonsensical one SHOULD have been... Why 'give' you anything; you've done it for me...
You really think Y. Wang wastes her time on YT lol? I hope not, when I see the levels of the comments under her vids. I hope she has better things to do.
Edgar Fong perhaps I'm right to guess that you made this recording yourself . Maybe you feared somebody would object , hence the camera/phone in your lap looking at the ceiling
Because she loves woman she is with distance the right for Chopin. She understands him and looks into the deepest of his soul. Hard to understand????…the rest….is……silencce
she is indeed gorgeous but as far as her pianism goes here in the e minor chopin I hear a lot of brilliant digital work but not to much on the musical side....... I guess I prefer the Argerich recording with Dutoit the best and am prejudiced
Yeah and very strange it's yr comments who disappear in the minute ... These guys are trolls but it's you they flag as spams. Dont waste yr time with them , they need to have a life .
"Musically clueless....why bother...." You HAVE found some self knowledge in your enforced termination freddie...good for you. Bur the post and delete still seems part of your YT nervous tick... Afraid of something? ;-)
She's getting a lot out of those trills in the left hand at around 17:55, more than most people, but Rubinstein at 85 could still kick her butt on sheer musical/analytical expression. In any case, glad to hear her playing something that one can really sink one's teeth into -- all that Prokofiev and Rachmaninov is so broad and splashy, whereas her real gift is as a miniaturist. (in concert, it's actually hard to hear her over the orchestra in tutti passages, so she might want to steer away from all those Big-Box Concertos). NOTE: to the guy who says Ashkenazy is no good in anything -- I'm sorry, but have you ever HEARD him? I've had out-of-body moments in his concerts, memorably the Chopin 3rd sonata, where I sat no more than six feet away from the keyboard in a stage seat. Also his recording of the etudes is unsurpassed -- if you play, this should be your guide. (He has very small hands, and works around this liability in fascinating ways) However, I agree that he's a rather clueless conductor -- loses the forest for the trees.
Dimitri SEBANOWITZ Dinu Lipatti? Je ne l'entends pas & pourtant... j'adore Yuja Wang, mais pour moi personne ne peut être comparée à M. Lipatti. Il portait son âme avec chaque note.
As much as I love Yuja, her Chopin is not so good. I want to teach her how to play Chopin! >.< Each and every single composer is unique! You must understand the quality, the personality and the taste of the composer's music before you play it. Chopin is elegant, aristocratic, restrained, peaceful, romantic, majestic, and triumphant. You must understand the composer's music first, only then, will you be able to show yourself through his music! Only then will you be able sing!
To be honest i m a great fan of all Gould Beethoven, but as time goes not so much fan of his Bach, even tho i still think they are great , just not my taste. RUBINSTEIN only good in Chopin??? Are you kidding me? Ashkenazy is good in nothing.
Actually---its a function of the wild unpopularity of your 'elite' uploads that keep any but the most fossilized of tastes from visiting again and again-your silly and prejudiced rants rather leaves that bitter troll taste in the mouth of the musically sensible and balanced...:-]
@@lemenyves34 Lol-I had forgotten about these aged posts in a flame war I had with some Yuja Wang trolls and haters 8 years ago! Thanks for the memories!

But in those posts now deleted was such extreme racist and sexist bias, informing their 'artistic' critiques, I wasted time to counter them. It was fun until it turned dark from them; hence they were banned and deleted by RUclips. Yuja has been a delightful and amazing artistic presence now for 20 years! Having met her a couple of times, I can also say that she is funny, friendly, and sharp-witted. For those of us who missed some of the great dead pianists, nice to have her, among a few others today, to enjoy and marvel at...
Did I EVER comment on that performance? Did I EVER say I was supporting anyone? You are paranoiac. If you think it is bad, why do you comment under all Yuja Wang vids ....? You re a bunch of mad trolls. Or maybe one mad troll with many avatars. Yes it s Egorov on my picture, and yes it is impossible to compare. But that s not to deny the fact she s alreader an exciting pianist and perhaps will do even better in future. This kabbale against her is ridiculous, whatever the strength of yr arguments
Wtf. Sure, the ceiling is nice to look at I suppose but, ummm, someone is playing a piano I assume? I can hear it. Yep, its definately a piano, so whre is it. I know...it's hidden in the ceiling. Maybe you should watch your own videos before you post them. That way, they wouldnt look like gabage.
Wang has the skills of an amateur and the sensitivity of a large rock XD Is there any composer she plays well? Sure she can play Fur Elise well, but not much more from Beethoven ... His pieces are way beyond her skill level.

Yuja is a great role model. She is like a superstar of piano and she's cool about it.
Played with more fervor and passion than most I heard in the Chopin Competition, brava!

SOBRE TODO CON EL VALS N 2..LO VEO EN SU EXPRESIÓN CORPORAL...UNA MARAVILLA..CHOPIN"..FELIZ DE ESCUCHARTE...GRACIAS..!!!
I hope you enjoyed very much listening to my playlist!
Hey...all your brilliant replies to me keep getting deleted on YT for some 'strange' reason...tho' I have all the copies!
What's happenin' baby? ;-]
The camera is so stupid;
So blind to see Yuja's beautiful face,
So deaf to hear her talented music !!

To me, it is too fast and powerful that it's not like Chopin's work.
You re a poet lol
lol i think your psychological analysis is very interesting .... I only wish my environment forced me to be gay , it would be much more fun for me.

Perhaps need a life - but not on these pages!
Ah, Could was good in Bach and not Beethoven? Funny, I prefer his Beethoven by far!
Why do things that is forbidden in a concert?
And what, John Wuu, precisely IS forbidden in a concert? Can you send me a printed copy of those rules?
A bad recorded
She looks like a child. But the play is genial and sensible.
its bad l just like rubenstein for this concerto
que horrible interpretación , le queda grande chopin a la china
Wtf. Sure, the ceiling is nice to look at I suppose but, ummm, someone is playing a piano I assume? I can hear it. Yep, its definately a piano, so whre is it. I know...it's hidden in the ceiling. Maybe you should watch your own videos before you post them. That way, they wouldnt look like gabage.
