@@balisaani Yes, Martha is still playing at 81!! And let’s not forget Helene Grimaud who recorded Rachmaninov at the age of 15 and now in 2023 is recognized as in the top 3 performers today.
@@excelsior999 Whoever her publicity agent or manager is, he/she has performed the job masterfully and is worth every penny, and Yuja deserves immense credit for having the acumen and foresight to allow her publicity team to utilize her unique qualities to buck the system and stir up a little controversy, thus drawing more attention to herself and separating herself from other artists so that she can dominate the field for as long as possible. She obviously has a very savvy business mind and is likely far more sophisticated than her public persona may indicate.
This young lady don’t look like how you imagine a classicsl pianist should look like. But when she is sittning at the piano and start to play f.i. Schostakovitjs first piano concerto all your imaginations will come to shame. This woman is FANTANSTIC! A brilliant interpreter, of no matter composer works! She is well represented at RUclips, so don’t miss the chanse to be able to enjoy a fantastic pianoplayer almost live!
The first (and only) time that I heard Yuja Wang being interviewed I actually cringed at some of the crude language that she sometimes uses. If she thinks that this is "Cool" she would do well to listen to interviews by ladies of the classical music world such as Martha Argerich or Mitsuko Uchida. She is unquestionably a fine pianist but she still has a lot of growing unto do.
@@excelsior999 Different times? One must look at the whole, not focus on a tiny part of a very modern performer... I believe some would condemn Mozart - from another "earthy" age? And in the 50s when I was growing up, there were stories of famous singers with a wider "vocabulary" Yuja is a disarmingly open person.
@@excelsior999 you realize that english is not her first language right? she was born in china so chinese is her first language ; english is her second language and it's always more difficult to speak in your second language
@@clairejin1704 There are some wanna be classical pianists on RUclips who play quite well, but have an insignificant following. They are pale compared to Yuja's success and acclaim. Beng a bit bitter, they love to nitpick, while entirely missing the larger picture. Yuja is an extraordinary talent.
Yuja Wang à une beauté musicale , elle charme son public , et bien sa beauté d'une femme intelligente intellectualisme d'une passion quelle à depuis toute petite , alors oui elle est grande et belle , mais elle à la maitrise sur son clavier de piano , alors oui j'aime la pianiste , mais j'aime la femme part sa grandeur musicale classique !
I have heard some pianists say that, but the 3rd (comprising some 30,000 notes) is almost non stop for the pianist and requires an excellent memory and a lot of stamina.
I wonder if she dresses like a tramp when she performs in China. I doubt it because it would bring shame upon her parents. Also, it could invite a visit from an official with the Chinese Ministry of Culture.
@@excelsior999 anyone who shames her parents can shame themselves knowing they don't have such a talented, hardworking and internationally successful family member.
Yuja's musicality is absolutely inspirational. I love her costuming.
She is so musical, intelligent, convincing and amazing. She is inspiration for me!!!
Yuja is such a sweet adorable human being
She plays so clean and makes the music flow so smoothly.
Exactly
All I can say is she is extremely genuine. No pretense, no showmanship. Just probably, the best piano player in the world. Ever.
Second best - I love Yuja Wang but Martha Argerich is still alive and playing.
@@balisaani Yes, Martha is still playing at 81!! And let’s not forget Helene Grimaud who recorded Rachmaninov at the age of 15 and now in 2023 is recognized as in the top 3 performers today.
CREATIVE GENIUS AT IT'S HIGHEST LEVEL & MMMMM!
Yuja,es lo mejor de lo mejor que ha surgido en el piano ,en los últimos años, su velocidad de interpretación y su precisión...son admirables...❤😮😊
In the meantime she's "Artist of the Year" - well deserved and long overdue!
Having a powerful publicly agency helps.

@@excelsior999 Of course. If you are unable to work with talent management you won't be successful as many of the RUclips whiners have proven.
@@keithbrashier4848 It would be interesting to know who is in charge of her costuming. She doesn't make her gowns herself, I'm quite sure.

Such a wonderful, fun, sweet person on top of her massive talent. :-)

Just adore Miss Yuja Wang !!
Very sincere and adorable!!
Yuja Wang is not only talented, she is a miracle.
A Delightful, Charming Young Lady I love Her 💘

Beautiful voicing between hands, just noodling around….fantastic
I love her so much!
Yuja...You're great.
hipocoristico15 . A sentiment that can never be contradicted, ever.
Yuja plays all composers superbly, not just Rachmaninoff.
SUPER SUPER BRAVA.....E SIMPATICA...💜
Amazing !!!....Yuja was 24 in this vedeo . She is now 36 . Look at her recent vedeos !! This woman has not Aged in 12 Years !!!!!.....
Just wonderful.
...brava Yuja!! *****
She is "GREAT"
Son corps et son jeu sont magnifiques
Princess !
Yup. I'm in love again.
Good luck. Yet to buy some of this down to earth composer.
她弹琴的姿态非常有魅力，太美了！
確實！全方位藝人音樂天才，鋼琴女王。
可敬可佩可愛的羽佳，令人讚賞不已，上天所賜，世界瑰寶。👍👏🌹♥️👠👌🙏
Finally met Yuja!😍
Lucky you.
Did you actually meet her? And where? I was pleased just to be in the audience for one of her recitals last year. She's a phenomenon.
最爱羽佳~
Like a huge Russian novel... Nice comparison!
The difference between this video being 4:23 and 4:24 may have just ruined my entire day...
LOL!
I don't get it. it's 4:22
Ted Chaffman IKR!?!? Like... where is that final cadence!?!!?
Exactly!
@@androidkenobi It's missing the very last note of the concerto; I believe that's what Ted Chairman meant.
Я ОЧЕНЬ БЛАГОДАРЕН
The question behind that is... why does she have to bow so friggin fast lmao
lovely video. I also do that finger stretching & teach my students..
Having a bunch of notes is not what makes the Rach 3 a great concerto even though pop culture may lead one to think that's the reason.
Yuja makes it great when she plays it :)
Why'd the video cut off the last note
Because the uploader can't edit properly.
When playing Rachmaninov, it must be hard to stop rushin’
omg
Not Wang as in bang or gang, but Wang as in gong or song..
hello everyone, shes my wife
Rachmaninov's 2nd piano concerto is harder to play than the 3rd.
Not!
I have heard some pianists say that, but the 3rd (comprising some 30,000 notes) is almost non stop for the pianist and requires an excellent memory and a lot of stamina.
Rachmaninoff says that but I find the 3rd is harder. It's subjective!
Marry me .....
The clip says she lives in America now.
Yuja Wang has a modest apartment in NYC, but calls San francisco her second home & will be in China for some time again as a teaching fellow.

"Wang" haha
'Wagner' haha
