when I was seven years old, I met Yuja Wang upstairs in the old Steinway Hall in NYC before my recital there. She was in the room down the hall practicing - and I was so mesmerized by what she was playing. She came out and I got to speak to her (not knowing anything about who she was) - and she was so kind and took the time to explain to me what she was practicing - and why - she made that joke about Carnegie Hall (she was practicing for a performance) - telling me to do the same. So this came up in my feed today- two days before my own debut at Carnegie (in the BMTG winners concert) - seven years after I met her. I took her "advice" and it worked.
Simply the greatest pianist alive. Her interpretation of "Gretchen am Spinnrade" is closer to Goethe's lyrics than any other pianist. At the moment she sits at the piano, there's all about the music, no showy behavior, ugly grimaces and strange behavior like many other pianists do. From Bach to Adams she plays every composer in exactly the right way....and .... she creates a "better world" for her audience, that's the real message of music!
@Karin Becker Good God Karin-your first sensible comment on Yuja Wang; then you ruin your credibility, as always, with your sexist/creepy obsessiveness against her appearance. You are a sad soul...
@Karin Becker creative?! She played the grand sonata Sex Sells and the very popular Money, Money, Money concert. Composers are unknown, but these works are very much in demand by the public, especially in China and the USA!
I LISTENED LAST NIGHT TO THIS PIECE IT WAS MUCH STRONGER THAN WORDS CAN EVER BE. INSPIRATIONAL AND DRIVEN. IT HAD WONDERS FOR ME….DRIVEN TO GO FORWARD.
Yuja Wang is such a joy to watch-she is thinking about the music and her hands just do everything-no dramatics, no wagging around on the bench. Lang Lang is just painful to watch-even though he is a good pianist. Yuja Wang is the best pianist of the 22 century.
WOW those lucky people, I would give anything to get that close to Yuja and then when she played as usual I would be so emotional with my eyes filling up She’s out of this world ❤️
A group of ordinary humans watching awestruck God's precious gift for mankind perform her magic! Oh, Yuja thank you for sharing your talent so generously!
I'm OK with filming special moments (I of course do it too) but I have a special kind of respect for the people standing on the back just enjoying Yuja's performance.
A beautiful and moving „snap-performance” with exquisite voicing, despite the background. - The Gluck needs an ending different from all the transcriptions: either a short cadenza, or a brief, anticipant reminder in major of the „Blessed Spirits”.
It's amazing the way the melody can be clearly heard above all those rippling arpeggios, and yet she's not apparently playing those single notes with significantly greater force than all the others, What a tour de force.
Yuja sei un vero prodigio di bravura e di simpatia e oltretutto anche molto affascinante. Ti ascolterei e guarderei sempre. Ti auguro moltissimo successo. Alfredo
With the tragic grandiosity of the mood of Schubert and well after it she played the minor section of the piece of the dance of the holy spirits of orpheo et euridice by gluck but schubert reigns supreme. This is Schubert always, so tragic romantic nostalgic and so personal.
She played the grand sonata Sex Sells and the very popular Money, Money, Money concert. Composers are unknown, but these works are very much in demand by the public, especially in China and the USA!
@@bossHogOG Not really, very sad unhappy individuals unable to enjoy many of the treasures we are lucky to be able to enjoy and enhance our existence. Be happy. 😊
I still wonder why that man in the grey suit is turning around on 1.15, I noticed that is the exact moment a crescendo hits in, but it's also a very emotional moment in this piece where the pianist performer can let anyone know this is for real and that the displayed emotions are dead real. When it kicks in (as I love or like to call it) it overwhelms you and almost seems to want to pull out every tear you hid behind your eyes for the last years or time, I can imagine why that turned around the guy, but is that a fact or a romantisized scene by me? Who cares :-) Yuja rules
I can at least tell you the second composition as it's a piece she frequently plays. It has different names depending on where you look but just RUclips Search: "Sgambati Gluck Orfeo ed Euridice" and you'll find it. You can also find it as "Orfeo ed Euridice" on Yuja Wang's "Fantasia" album. You can listen to this for free on Spotify. Edit: Both of the names of the pieces are in the description.
Maybe she fell in love with Georgia and she did not want to leave in that time. She spent really good time in my country. Georgia is known as a hospitable nation. 😊😊

Aber Herr Schefold: "kein effelthascherisches Benehmen, keine häßlichen Grimassen oder merkwürdiges Benehmen wie viele anderen Pianisten"??? Soviel ich weiß, bezahlt Yuja keine positiven Kommentare.

Things like these reaffirm me in my opinion that if humanity is extinguished it would not be a great loss
If humanity is extinguished, it will most definitely not be a great loss. God almost had it done before He had a sudden stroke of compassion for humanity and saved Noah and his family and promised would never do it again (the rainbow promise). Sadly, that started the unstoppable and endless tragic journey of humanity.

My heart is overjoy. The best of all time.
That is such a wonderful idea ! If only Yuja did that type of gathering at all the concerts she does. Just a thought?
I got goosebumps from every single note..
