Yudina's performances seem to be 'freer' in tempo, her use of Rubato, her dynamic range, accentuation of voices never heard that she reveals, compared to modern interpretations. I think there is so much to learn from listening to her. You can tell how much fun she's having with it, the music comes alive and is so animated. It flows so naturally, regardless of all that she does with it, which is so much more than the modern players that just play the notes cleanly, but with no Life Force behind it. She is such an important link to the Romantic era of Pianism! Thank you for sharing this World Treasure! Maria Yudina will Live Forever!
“Because we’re at war!” Yudina’s explanation to Richter about a fierce tempo in Bach. He laughed it off and you may too but I find her uniquely compelling.
Sublime, no words for this and basically no words for everything this women played, even if her vision of Bach, Mozart and Schubert stand above all the others, in my opinion. I am not a religious person myself, but this is pretty close to a miracle.
Tiefempfundene Interpretation dieses romantischen Meisterwerks im relativ schnellen Tempo mit klarem Schlag und perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Wundervoll!
Сказала же Ахматова: Бетховен в юбке. Бетховианский темперамент. Есть великие пианисты, немало их. А есть вот гениальные. Этот самый случай. Пусть были неудачи, у кого их нет, человек не машина. Спасибо звукозаписи!
Очень нестандартная интерпретация. Не знаю, понравилось бы это Шуберту, но мне это точно нравится! Юдина всегда умела играть на разрыв шаблона:-) Интимные салонные пьесы превратились у неё в акты высокой трагедии и это потрясающе.
Jouer de façon aussi personnelle ,c'est certes s'exposer à la critique, mais pour moi qu'importe: j'aime BEAUCOUP que Maria Yudina joue à SA façon, avec SA (forte !!) personnalité; elle ne trahit nullement Schubert .
in my ears i only have the performance of Brendel.....it is really completely different...i wouldn't know what to say about the performance of Yudina...i am not a specialist....i observed that Yudina's performances are always very very personal.....the variety of sounds is incredible..
You're mentioning the many turn-of-the-20th century pianists and their pupils who are far superior to the run-of-the-mill ones of today!! It is difficult to find the few of today who are more interested in rather showing there fingerwork prowess and excellent memory than the musicality of interpretation. @@Alix777.
Послушайте Алексея Султанова. Он успел сыграть всего одну пьесу Шуберта, НО КАК!!! А его Шопен, а Рахманинов... Он романтик, как и Юдина, и очень ее почитал.
Magnifico! Non solo la tecnica elevatissima .... suona con ľanima ! Maria Yudina ha sofferto molto ma era profondamente religiosa e attaccata a Gesù Cristo e al prossimo ( si vede dal Documentario). Ecco ľanima della sua interpretazione.
A story about Yudina & Stalin. Stalin heard her somewhere and gave her Stalin's prize in art. He received a letter from her "Thank you for the prize. I gave it to Russian Orthodox church. And I also pray the Lord He forgive you for your sins against Russian people" An he didn't touch her!
Diplômée du conservatoire de Petrograd, Maria Veniaminovna Youdina est invitée à y enseigner. Elle fut nommée professeur en 1923 jusqu’en 1930. Parlant « d'inspiration divine » pendant ses cours, elle est licenciée à cause de ses convictions religieuses et de ses critiques ouvertes du système soviétique. Sans emploi et sans toit pendant quelques années, Maria Youdina enseigne le piano au conservatoire de Tbilissi (1932-1934) Maria Youdina était la pianiste préférée de Staline et il la savait inoffensive. C'est dans les mémoires de Chostakovitch qu'apparaît l'histoire sidérante. Un soir Staline écoute à la radio Maria Youdina dans le début du concerto nº 23 de Mozart et demande à son aide de camp de lui procurer l’enregistrement. Mais c’était un concert en direct. Les officiels réveillèrent l'artiste au milieu de la nuit, la conduisirent au studio où un petit orchestre, rapidement assemblé, l’attendait lui permettant d’enregistrer le concerto dans la nuit pour en donner l’enregistrement à Staline qui, dit-on, fondit en larmes dès les premières notes entendues. Pour la remercier, le dirigeant lui accorda la somme de 20 000 roubles. En retour, Maria Youdina lui écrivit qu’elle donnerait cet argent à son église pour prier pour son âme en raison des crimes qu'il avait commis contre le peuple russe. Très superstitieux, Staline ne répondit jamais et à sa mort on aurait retrouvé l’enregistrement en question sur son phonographe à côté de lui. En dépit de sa reconnaissance par Staline, Maria Youdina resta jusqu’à la fin extrêmement critique envers le régime soviétique.

Stagnant snotty Soviet piano school of that time??? Heinrich Neuhaus, his son Stanislaw, Vladimir Sofronitsky, Emil Gilels, Sviatoslav Richter, Grigori Ginsburg, Maria Grinberg, Yakov Zak... Very stagnant and snotty indeed!
"Poetic" - hardly one of Brendel's attributes. Cortot, Horowitz, Sofronitsky, Heinrich Neuhaus - these are, among others, the poets of the piano. Brendel is "professorial", "historically informed", competent, "deep thinking" if one insists. Not poetic
A graduate of the Petrograd Conservatory, Maria Veniaminovna Youdina is invited to teach there. She was appointed professor in 1923 until 1930. Speaking "divine inspiration" during her classes, she was fired because of her religious beliefs and open criticism of the Soviet system. Unemployed and homeless for a few years, Maria Youdina teaches piano at Tbilisi Conservatory (1932-1934) Maria Youdina was Stalin's favorite pianist and he knew it was harmless. It is in Shostakovich's memoirs that the astonishing story appears. One evening, Stalin listens to the radio Maria Yudina at the beginning of Mozart's Concerto No. 23 and asks his aide-de-camp to give him the recording. But it was a live concert. The officials woke the artist in the middle of the night, took her to the studio where a small orchestra, quickly assembled, was waiting for her to record the concerto in the night to give the recording to Stalin who, they say burst into tears as soon as the first notes were heard. To thank her, the leader granted her the sum of 20,000 rubles. In return, Maria Youdina wrote to him that she would give this money to his church to pray for his soul because of the crimes he had committed against the Russian people. Very superstitious, Stalin never answered and at his death the recording in question would have been found on his phonograph next to him. Despite being recognized by Stalin, Maria Yudina remained extremely critical of the Soviet regime until the end. Mozart concerto 23 she played : ruclips.net/video/YGZoKplBhfo/видео.html
A million-time repeated apocryphal story that has no historical basis and found in one source only - a dubious memoir itself questioned as inauthentic. Particularly, the last part about praying for his soul because of the crimes he had committed...blah blah. It's silly on so many counts.
@@sasha42196 Music seems to be rife with such stories, there are many about Jascha Heifetz, likely equally as true. They are interesting stories, but their relationship to reality is likely to be close to nil.
I have this recording on LP purchased in Moscow in early 70-s. Yes, it is Yudina. Yes, it is a studio recording. I am sure it can be found in digital format.
So lovely played the third Impromptu without getting sentimental and turning the music into kitsch. Instead imitating the style of singing folk songs and achieving the most homogenous melody lines, wonderful semplice like Horowitz. But what a pity that she partly ignored the stylistic elements of Mozart, sometimes the sound seems to harsh with too much 'espressivo'. However, she always played the piano due to her fascinating personality..Maria Yudina!
This version has load of intensity but the problem with this is that when the fortissimo moments come, they lack in impact because of the lack of buildup. Also the parts where you're supposed to play in a softer, lyrical manner are just played in the very same relentless, almost ruthless fashion as what came before. I usually like performers with real personality over milquetoast, finger virtuosi and formalists, but here this a bit too much "personality" for me.
