    My favorite rendition. The way he plays the accent at 3:57 is unlike anyone else's rendition, but it sounds absolutely right. Here is a pianist playing beautifully and very obviously having a good time. The standing ovation at the end is very, very well deserved

    I thought I had heard the stand-out performance of this incredibly difficult piece in Yuja Wang's version. This is is even better. The pianist shows the joy that Mendelsohn's genius created in composing this magnificent Piano Concerto. Bravo maestro!

      Rosalyn Gillis The piece is not that difficult. The sixteenth-note passages all follow a fairly simple pattern, any pianist at the advanced level could learn this within a week or so. It fits under the hand very nicely and is quite satisfying to play.

      Me too, until I watch Alexandra Dovgan and eventually brought me here. Yuja Wang performance sounds "barbaric".

      Those who contradicted my comments about maestro Yakushev - obvious jealousy. He has more talent in his little finger than any of you have in your whole bodies.

      He plays good, but the speed in the 3rd mvmnt is to fast, it should be like 190-200 BPM, not Prestissimo. And: He speeds up random at many parts

    = I'll second that one- I'd just listened to Yuja Wang's performance of this piece and it was a quick tempo- clicked on this one and it was not just faster- it was perfectly concise all the way through and indeed the expression on the pianist's face added to it! A STANDING OVATION WELL DESERVED INDEED!

    This is phenomenal!! I've been looking for authoritative versions of this concerto. I've listened to Yuja Wang, Lang Lang, Serkin and some others. For me, this version is one of the best. The orchestra is great as well (especially with timing, the pianist and the orchestra are locked in pretty tight!).

    • @liszt85
      @liszt85 11 лет назад +2

      Except maybe for the beginning of the 3rd mvt. Something didn't sound right. It also sounds faster than Yuja's version, which is an astounding tempo (not necessarily musically the best choice but impressive nevertheless!).

    • @AlexVideoPlayer
      @AlexVideoPlayer 10 лет назад +1

      He's not the only pianist who adds those non-existent chords. I'd like to see them dare pull a stunt like that say, on a Beethoven-Chopin etc. concerto. Sadly, it proves the point that this serves more as a show-off that anything else. The rest I like a lot but the 3d movement is a blurred mess, sorry. Ultra-fast, note-perfect (save for the presumptuous chords) and impressive but it's on fast-forward. Not much music in there.

    • @Klaposmirmu
      @Klaposmirmu 10 лет назад +1

      Yeah. What clever imagination it takes to add the exact same chords than the orchestra ! I am sure Mendelssohn never though about that trick, when he finished composing that concerto lol.

    This pianist is more sensitive and expresive than Yuja.
    Best historical versions are Pletnev, Serkin, Czifra and Thibaudet.
    But this is a great version. Tempo at 3rd mov is perfect. Bravo!!

      Dimitri Bashkirov his Mendelssohn piano concerto no 1 with The Finnish Radio Symphony video from 1989 is the best! Bashkirov had the best piano sound! Best tempos! Melodies rolling the best way! The bad Mendelssohn players are Really=Yuja Wang(awful typewriter!) Marc Andre Hamelin(Cyborg Human machine) Pletnev(too cool) Serkin(raw rough) Thibaudet(weakest) Perahia(thin colorless dry piano sound) Emil Gilels(too heavy!)

    @Paul-te8mz 5 лет назад

    It might be concluded that the performace is somewhat self absorbed (what is it with the gratutitous left hand gesure at 8:50?) and a detached musician prioritising technical bravado over soulful engagement with the music. Contrast with the considerably more involved Yuja Wang, filled with lyracism and sufficently absorbed as to sing along with her playing, see ruclips.net/video/2GGx8TRWFVA/видео.html I suggest the definitive interpretation of this technically demanding work.

  • @pietertenham436
    @pietertenham436 8 лет назад +3

    Piano in first and thrid movement too fast; consequently the phrases dissappear; orchestra too loud. Second movement well played, good romantic. Wrong piano mark, too American sound; it is better to use a comtemporary piano, than the atmosphere of the concert will be quite different.
