I've hardly tried to find out why Pollini's D minor (no.24) would sound better. It simply doesn't. Yuja's dynamics, flow and subtle touch in soft passages are unmatched. I've played that prelude myself and know every note of it, I think it's the most complex in terms of expression; her version of it should be given the deserved credits.
INDEED ..listen to his # 16 ..IF people want technique , my god!!! HUGE PLAYING...but the running notes with such sweep BUT full tones..also very special is ADAM Horzowski ...long dead now ...but i heard his early recordings 1950's or early 60's ...incredible especially the last D minor...Bflat minor...and that F# SHARP MINOR...I have NEVER heard anyone played such beautiful tapestries...even the fast 32nd notes...then i heard him LIVE AT carnegie when he was VERY old....i think he was 80s..the same PRELUDES WHOLE SET...like he was just a young man...my god!! and of course...according to their more "gentlemanly times" played with such CALM exterior...Yuja is fine for her generation...with its own styles...ideas of "brilliance' or "tone" but to call her "the greatest ever" ...that s not really the case...she definitely plays brilliant passages VERY very fast it s quite incredible really. ...i am not sure if it s just the recording or intentional in the broadcast balance...or even the piano itself...but there seems to be more "presence" in the LEFT HAND parts , fullness but i find the right hand lines strengtly THIN in tones..but over-all it s certainly well played enough...for a laaarge continuous program..
Technically good, but sound quality, phrasing, rubato, all is so mannered and uninteresting for me. She has now the age of Pollini, Zimermann or Argerich when they already made legendary recordings yet she doesn't match any of them. Very superficial.
Then listen to her performance at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, also available on RUclips, which is totally different, so fresh and sparkling, about the best version I have heard. To me Yuja is one of the greatest pianists of our time.
Imagine preferring Zimerman or Argerich over Yuja Wang...! No wonder record companies pour bucketloads of money into marketing. You are proof that marketing works and people will believe any bullshit they are fed.
YUJA, THE BEST.
You had me at Prelude No. 1. 😎🎹
beautiful, it is yuja. thanks peter chen

Alfred Cortot- Maurizio Pollini- Yuja Wang!!! Three great interpretations.
Absolutely! Chopin's preludes have been played so much... it's surprising that someone can still deliver a performance that feels so fresh.
You forgot Sergio Fiorentino 😉

What is your name? I'll bet that I have never heard of you. Superficial indeed!
If you have nothing good to say, just shut up.

@@olavk7111: Funny, I like this Vienna version more, especially Prélude No. 1. Well, that’s why they make chocolate and vanilla. 😎🎹
