@Mazzel Tov LOL! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for telling everybody that you are a loser. I only buy made-in-England France Italy Germany stuff. the Yankees and japs made rubbish are for losers. You as a stupid can only afford (as you admitted) "made-in-China stuf, because they are cheap!"
You have the right to that opinion...tho' any debate on interpretation over a shaky smart phone video seems rather moot. But even then it is hard to see what is "sloppy" about it from a pianist renown for precision...and the "mechanical" charge is suspiciously close to the bigoted one she and all Asian pianists are dismissed for BECAUSE of their note perfections...
If you study the score and try to play this yourself, you will see she is far from 'mechanical"; the composer speaks instead of the interpreter. Verity and sensitivity to a composers intent is good enough for me; we have it quite musically here despite the poor sound. You would be best to listen with the score and ear rather than prejudice. No pianist IS perfect; but your critique just makes no real critical sense. Next time reference the actual score before passing superficial judgments...
But NOW we are talking about the score, and can debate on enharmonic's, pedal values, and specific interpretive choices. The 'golden age' made more of such interpretive freedoms than our own or Yuja; the answer may fall somewhere in between. This piece does not encompass as much latitude as his preludes or other larger works. Rach's, and Prokofiev's own playing, is often surprisingly free of the "rits*" others are fond of overindulging. "sloppy" and "mechanical", IMO, is misplaced here...
Nor do I. For you make subjective musical points to 'prove' she is not playing this well...which are overblown and a bit nonsensical. "...moving up 1000 tempo's..." !? If you prefer other versions, so be it. But "sloppy" and "unimpressive" is more appropriate for your critique than for her play. Perhaps, as you are studying this, you will grace us one day with your more correctly played version. We shall await it with baited breath..
Das muss man sich nicht antun - schlechte Kameraführung, schlechter Ton. Damit erweist man weder dem Komponisten noch der Pianistin eine Anerkennung ihrer Leistungen!
The only really valid subjective point you make for me, that I catch through all the verbiage, is you do not like here tempo's. She is indeed faster than some...and your option to prefer otherwise. But your 'reasoned' pianistic points are merely personal preference, not veracious musical fact. And to expand such critique/prejudice toward her on such a poorly recorded video is rather empty of real "melody" in itself...
Coming from a 13 year old with that sort of musical experience...I can only hope you own ear and talent matures beyond this nonsensical and silly remark. But you have a LONG way to go... When can we expect your uploads of your own impressive and non-sloppy play? We wait with baited breath for such genius to appear... o.o
Well...you have worked very hard to state your own musical opinion on this little work, and against her badly recorded performance. Your right to hold such...but I am sorry to have to swear 'non credo' to most of it. She is no more "banging" the piano than any other pianist does on the tubes...even the Berman you seem to laud. Strength and percussiveness is not banging. This "change from fierce to romantic" is rather nonsensical semantics...she articulates the music well even in this bad sound.
Yuja is surely THE BEST EVER. THE BEST OF THE BEST.SHE LITERALLY DROWNS ONE WITH MUSIC..SHE MAKES MUSIC BREATHE MUSIC.
@Mazzel Tov On what authority do you call his claim ridiculous imbecilic, imbecile?

@Mazzel Tov please don't. i can't reply because all my replies to you are deleted.
Her interpretation is my favorite by far!
this is crazy ! the more i listen to and watch this the more amazing she becomes!
素晴らしい🎉😊
It sounds pretty, given how bad the noise is...
Amo a mi paisana Yuga Wang... Algún día tocaré como ella!!! Mis respetos a esta talentosa pianísta!!
there's bad noise on this video… but still great performance.
*pretty clean
80% of the comments here are from bloodgrss ... dude you are way too involved in this video lol
The recording is very poor so you can't tell about the music...
NO ONE has Yuja Wang's technique (not even close). She is the GOAT!!!

awes. but maybe play it bit slower till u get ptestissimo bit right.:)..
I am one of Yuja's greatest fans but sorry Yuja you bombed out on this one.
How so?
might be the audio
