A very young Yuja from 2009 who already treats Prokofiev as if he were her old friend. And Claudio Abbado is still there to sort things up. Wonderful! He died five years later.
Magnifique. Mvt 3 les contrechants d'orchestre sont sublimes. Regardez ce que fait Abbado : ce chef est à l'écoute de ses musiciens, qui le suivent au doigt et à l'oeil avec envie et passion, et surtout le chef porte toute son attention à l'humeur experte de sa soliste. C'est super quand un chef fait cela. Bravo, quel prodige ! On en voudrait encore, des perfomances à l'instar de celle-ci. Félicitation ! Bien à vous (...)
The combination of Yuja Wang's energy, technique and musicality coupled with Abbado's ability to inspire great orchestral performances make this the reference performance in my view.
After listening to Yuja's recording of Liszt's b-minor sonata Claudio Abbado chose her instead of Pollini or Barenboim for the opening concert of the Lucerne Festival. Well done! Even at this young age she played an incomparable rendition of Prokofiev's masterwork.
Claudio, in my judgement was one of the greatest conductors of all time. He chose Yuja because he recognised her talent. But, more important, he pushed Yuja to take the lead in interpreting the piece. That is why this is such a convincing performance. Most conductors of Claudio's stature would have felt they understood the piece better than Yuja, and pushed her to adapt to their view of the piece. The result would have suffered. Claudio had the ability, not only to recognise what a musician was capable of, but also to inspire them to deliver. His death so early in Yuja's career was a great loss.
Yuja seems to have this deeply intuitive understanding of the great Russian composers: Prokofiev, Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Scriabin, etc. Her phenomenal performances of the piano works of these composers shows an understanding and connection that can not be taught. I believe it comes from the soul. ❤
Exquisite perfection and the orchestra was definitely up to the task. What a thrilling performance! I couldn’t help but think how Prokofiev himself would have reacted to this..

Yuji understands Prokofiev well!! Fantastic touch, energy, precision, & voicing
My God, I’m exhausted! Fantastic performances from everyone!

This woman is a treasure!
Thank you for giving us this clear recording of this wonderful performance!
This is the classical music that calms my nerves ! Fantastic ! Thanks for sharing
Nothing short of perfection. A soul-satisfying performance of one of the most difficult concertos ever written.
Early development of Yuja bow…..love it! 🍻
A very modest young Yuja. Lovely and excellent all-around!! Truly miss her like that.
Life and women move on from chauvinist mores...
@bloodgrss You are so pathetically predictable.

Yes--she delivers Russian sentiment more cleanly than Martha Argerich and more athletically even than than Alexander Malofeev.
@@prototropo I agree completely! Sometimes I think of her as a Chinese-American woman with a Russian heart!! 😂
Agreed.
VERILY VERILY , TRULY THIS IS THE GODESS OF CLASSICAL MUSIC.....
THANK YOU SO MUCH 🫂😍🫡🫡🔝🔝🔝
Exquisite perfection and the orchestra was definitely up to the task. What a thrilling performance! I couldn’t help but think how Prokofiev himself would have reacted to this..
Very awesome music ❤
Intoxicating!
Claudio Abbado recorded this with Argerich and Kissin. It’s wonderful Yuja Wang got to continue the legacy.
Thanks Peter’s [HD]

I take it on faith that Yuja Wang is a flesh and blood human being. All my instincts tell me otherwise.

映像の撮り方に疑問です。
Yuja Wangを見たいので、もっとピアニストの手指を映して欲しい。特にプロコフィエフの時代の作品は、音だけではなく演奏の映像が重要だと思います。
オーケストラも主要なところは必要。３楽章の始めの部分で部分で、ファゴットを映さないのは駄目ですね。第一楽章はクラリネットから確りと映したのに。
特に指揮者を中心にした映像は不要。ピアノかオーケストラの端に入れるだけで充分です。私は５５年間、クラシック音楽に接していますが、指揮者には全く興味がありません。
