      @@dmajoriu21 Carnegie Hall audience always claps between movements (since 80 years). It says nothing about the performance quality. Nowadays they even clap right in the middle of movements/pieces. For example Islamey (Pogorelich) or Chopin 4th Ballade (Yundi Li). The Ballade incident was really bad. They completely killed the mood. Maybe some of them try to revolutionize classical concert etiquette. But I think, most people don't know the pieces and it's human to show when you're excited. Its the performers responsibility to signalize them to shut up; They should not show any indication whatsoever that the performance has ended until it really ended.

But here in Buenos Aires, where I live, I've seen that great and very famous figures like Yuja Wang tend to attract audiences that are not normally concert goers. When I attend concerts of not so well known artists, I see that concert etiquette is usually observed, but things are different when big names are on the stage. I attended Yuja Wang's concert at Teatro Colón a few years ago and people clapped all the time. The same happened with Jonas Kaufmann, he had to finish some works in the middle of hysterical clapping. Anyway, I have also observed that things have changed in the last decades. When I was a teenager in the 70s, nobody would clap between movements.

    Shostakovich's 2nd is often dismissed as a 'student concerto'. In my opinion, it is a great opportunity for world-class pianists like Yuja who don't have to 'prove themeselves' anymore, to make their own thing out of it. The audience definitely enjoyed it a lot!

    As a total Baroque and Classical (period) music lover, I have enjoyed this concerto from the first time I heard it. Being a Brit I enjoy the motiv "What shall we do with the drunken sailor",that occurs often in the first movement and then the sublime second movement sadly with sound balance problems in this video, which distracted me slightly from the performance, and finally the gorgeous jaunty Russian dance like final movement with it's constant time changes.

    As always, Juja Wang makes you hear this extraordinary piece as if for the first time - she has an absolute technical command of it, which enables her to totally embrace it, and express vast inner spaces that are special to her; along with intimate details that you never heard before. There is no question of who is in the driving seat - but then that smile comes across her face as she interplays intimately with members of the orchestra, when appropriate. It was first performed by Dmitri Shostakovitch's son, Maxim, for whom it was a 19th birthday present. It's youthfull exuberance, coupled with desparately deep yearnings in the Andante movement, made it a perfect choice for Carnegie Hall's 'rebirth' after the musical devastion of covid . . . . .

      Kirill Petrenko dirigiert die Berliner Philharmoniker
      15.04.2018, 03:00 Uhr
      Felix Stephan
      Top-Events in Berlin
      ...
      Und auch Petrenkos jüngstes Philharmoniker-Programm fügt sich in dieser Hinsicht nahtlos ein. Es bewegt sich ausschließlich in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Prokofieffs Klavierkonzert Nr. 3 ist dabei ganz klar die Haupt­attraktion dieses Abends. Und dies vor allem, weil die Chinesin Yuja Wang in die Tasten greift. Eine Pianistin, halb Zirkuspferd, halb Maschine. Mit reißerischen Rekordtempi in den Außensätzen und gnadenlos präzisen Akkordattacken. Wer schon immer vermutet hatte, dass das Klavier ein Schlagzeug ist, wird sich durch Yuja Wang bestätigt fühlen.
      Umso nobler und duftiger Paul Dukas' Ballettmusik "La Péri" zuvor - eine Rarität von hohem kompositorischen Rang, die an Ravel erinnert. Eine ist es Freude hier, wie Petrenko die Philharmoniker atmen und genießen lässt.
      Viel Zug und Druck dagegen bei Franz Schmidts Vierter Sinfonie, der zweiten Rarität des Abends. Ein Werk aus dem Jahre 1933, das sich allerdings eher nach 1860 anhört - inklusive spätromantischem Trauerflor und gewichtigen Bandwurm-Kantilenen.

      The tattoo is the last desperate cry from the soul of Yui Wang: "Look at me, I am still here, I still exist !!!" But the tattoo is done in full observance of the line of the Chinese Communist Party - a tattoo of a red communist color! What do the letters CH mean ?! Perhaps C is a clown or China? H - Horror?

      Und auch Petrenkos jüngstes Philharmoniker-Programm fügt sich in dieser Hinsicht nahtlos ein. Es bewegt sich ausschließlich in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Prokofieffs Klavierkonzert Nr. 3 ist dabei ganz klar die Haupt­attraktion dieses Abends. Und dies vor allem, weil die Chinesin Yuja Wang in die Tasten greift. Eine Pianistin, halb Zirkuspferd, halb Maschine. Mit reißerischen Rekordtempi in den Außensätzen und gnadenlos präzisen Akkordattacken. Wer schon immer vermutet hatte, dass das Klavier ein Schlagzeug ist, wird sich durch Yuja Wang bestätigt fühlen.
      Umso nobler und duftiger Paul Dukas' Ballettmusik "La Péri" zuvor - eine Rarität von hohem kompositorischen Rang, die an Ravel erinnert. Eine ist es Freude hier, wie Petrenko die Philharmoniker atmen und genießen lässt.
      Viel Zug und Druck dagegen bei Franz Schmidts Vierter Sinfonie, der zweiten Rarität des Abends. Ein Werk aus dem Jahre 1933, das sich allerdings eher nach 1860 anhört - inklusive spätromantischem Trauerflor und gewichtigen Bandwurm-Kantilenen.

    Shostakovich’s Second Piano Concerto was a much better choice for a celebratory program than the originally announce Rachmaninov concerto. Unfortunately, this performance suffered from balance issues. At least from my seat, it was often difficult to hear Yuja Wang over the orchestra, especially in the first movement, all the more frustrating because her ferociously intelligent musicality was on full display when she could be heard. The first three thematic statements from the piano were so individually shaped they could have been coming from three different instruments. The playful transition from the lush second movement to the jocular third was a delight, as was Wang’s take-no-prisoners approach to the 7/8 sections of the final movement.

      @@matthewalan59 Since one of the definitions of monomania is "excessive concentration on a single object or idea", I do not retract that observation. I am personally not fond of today's tattoo culture, but you would get enormous pushback from a young crowd over their not 'improving' someone's appearance. As for knowing anything about you, to your credit, you admit your mistake toward Ms. Wang. Straightening out that fact for you is my pleasure.

      @@bloodgrss For the record, the only thing for which I could be accurately accused of monomania would be my backhand drive in the context of playing squash. I am pleased that this activity is slowly yielding results - the power and accuracy of my backhand drive has greatly improved. Other than that my attention gets focused on a wide variety of endeavors.
      Regarding tattoos. I knew a young woman who had some very substantial tattoos on her legs and torso. I told her that I did not think they were particularly attractive. She told me that part of the reason she got them was to piss off her dad. I told her this was a stupid reason to do anything. She agreed. She eventually decided for her own reasons to go through the long and painful process of having many of the tattoos removed.
      It has been pointed out by other commentators that having a prominent tattoo is like deciding to wear exactly the same shirt everyday for the rest of your life.

      @@matthewalan59 Dear not so 'poor' matthew! I am in your court for the most part (my squash backhand was NEVER good). But, I will venture to say the vast majority of young folk who get a tattoo these days are not simply trying to piss off their parents. I have talked to and taught many of them. My folks hated the long hair in the '60s. And, yes, it was a rebellion, apropos of tattoos today, that then morphed into a style that became acceptable and even necessary to keep one relevant. Even my dad let his sideburns grow out by the '70s, and the crew cut was also gone. So, it CAN be part of contemporary beauty for some, who are we to judge? Painful as that may be in the future, removal, I take it, is not a concern as it once was in seafaring man to respected gent days. In fact, in future aging times, tattoos will be much more the norm than before; disdain for them as you or I may have.
