Yulianna, I admire your playing so much. But I also admire and appreciate the generosity it takes to give us such a video as this as well as the imagination you bring to your music. Your emotional reaction to music is certainly a big part of what makes your playing so arresting. This enriches me, so thank you.
Bless you for illustrating all of this. My favorite piece in all of the Russian compositions: the piano solo of the 2nd pno cto. Your playing of it reminds me of the first time I heard it, as performed by Vladimir Krainev. The way you and Krainev make this piece very palatable, despite its complexity, is what can bring Prokofiev's 2nd to be as enamored as audience are with Rach 3. You follow a practical trajectory in the crescendo toward the end. When done as well as you do, it's almost unbearable for a listener who doesn't know the piece. It can takes the listener out of the realm of analyzing and following musical melodies, and instead instills them with a very real and non-musical sense of nightmarish crisis and emergency -- all resolved during the outro. This is a very supernatural piece. Thank you so much!
I have always wanted to play Rachmaninoff’s 2nd Piano Concerto. But at 67 years old (after spending 50 years primarily as a Rock lead guitarist) - it will be a great challenge for me to attain my goal. So I dream, with all my heart, to see you play it one day. . . As always - thank you for sharing your time, and your videos with us.
Thank You Yulianna for this another fruitfull conference in the domain of musicology of Prokofiev compositons basing on his Concert No 2. Watching You & you work on You Tube I am positive You can combine all you conferences in musicology works in the OPUS of Professors' of musicology. Do it. You can confirm this scientific title in every University whereever You are in the entire world. All the best! "The Know How" (Lawyer (violin))
Yulianna brachte klar und leidenschaftlich die Empfindungen und Leidenschaften zum Ausdruck, die auch ich als junger Mensch verspürte, als ich Prokofjews Zweites Konzert zum ersten Mal hörte, und die ich auch als Erwachsener noch immer erlebe. Ich möchte der Diskussion ein Element hinzufügen. Yuluannas Vortrag und auch Prokofjews zweites Konzert waren eine zutiefst persönliche, transformierende Erfahrung
Yulianna. I found you early on searching for a performance of the Schumann F# minor sonata. I was really taken by your sensitivity, but also by your sense of structure. Afterwards I went down the you tube rabbit hole and listened to all your Chopin stuff, but also found you Prokofiev sonata #7. I thoroughly enjoyed your discussion here (as a transcript-maybe live next time) You are a true musical intellect with also a true spiritual element, AND SOME HUMOR. We certainly need that in these times. BEST OF LUCK TO CONTINUED SUCCESS!
All of your performances are a joy for the ears and eyes. Your abilities always amaze me, from tender to forceful, sorrow to joyous. And the production of sound and video always perfect.Thank you for posting.
Thank you Yulianna! Very inspiring. I play piano in a Beatles tribute band and there is nothing better than performing the music I grew up listening to. Wish I was in Germany to hear this in person ( and to sample the local restaurants! ). Good Luck!
Thanks for the interesting analysis! I had the pleasure to attend the concert on Dec 8th in Stuttgart, it was a great experience! Also liked the encore Shostakovich very much. I even watched the live stream today, in order to see another great performance of the same pieces. Thanks for your fantastic work!
Just love your explanation and wonderful striving to convey the ideas and impressions you have of this magnificent composition, how wonderful, thank you for your beautiful efforts, so appreciated. I hope you will continue to do such explanations and education. sincerely, STEVE ADER, San Francisco.
Yulianna, we miss our conversations with you, as well. Maybe, since it's the 150th anniversary of Rachmaninov's birthday, can you do a stream about what his music means to you?

I was in your concert last week in Frankfurt Alte Oper when you performed this work. It was abolutely fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ciao Yulianna, thanks a lot for your interesting lesson. It has been like to listen to the unconscious of the music.
What a lovely melody from your tuches!! Cheer up. I bought your bach album recently. It makes me cry! -From Korea-

Love your playing and your explanation! Always thought Prokofiev 2 would be great to program for halloween.
