@@papagen00 Watch her Liszt B minor at Verbier and tell me she doesn't make that piece poetic as hell, even though Liszt couldn't write a good melody if his life depended on it
@@papagen00listen to her Scarlatti K87, Gluck/Sgambati, Beethoven op.106 slow movement, every slow movement of every piano concerto (especially Ravel or Shostakovich 2), Chopin, Schubert/Liszt-songs, Scriabin-poème.... More poetic playing (without mannerism or romanticism, but with good taste) isn't possible.
something i notice about a lot of great pianists eg. kissin, argerich, wang is that they find it sooooo hard to articulate how exactly it is that they practice/work at the piano except in the most vague and general terms. What mental processes are going on, what cognitive steps do they take, how do they address a tricky technical passage they can't get quite right, do they think about specific movements/mechanics, their posture, memorise a large scale work etc etc. i oftentimes get the impression that they have no idea how they manage to do what they do
I mean she said it clear as her piano chimes 01:06 "your body when you are so in tuned and focused... is automatically gonna do what you mentally ask" she also said in the beginning that practice is not about playing the right notes...
@ they’re still super vague statements though. imagine if a piano student heard that from their teacher. it wouldn’t help them at all. Btw I’m not detracting from yuja’s ability as a pianist. She’s a genius and easily one of the best pianists alive I’ve heard. But being able to do something to a world class level does not always mean that you are aware of and able to communicate how you do said thing, especially if it comes so naturally and intuitively to you
@@sacrilegiousboi978, most piano greats cannot explain how to do what they do because they learned the ability to make those sounds before they are even out of their preteens. The best people who can explain it are people who did not attain piano mastery before their childhood ended. People who struggled before they became masters at their craft. Child prodigies “speak” with the instrument. They cannot tell you how they learned to do it.
I think they're just all blessed with exceptionally large amounts of white matter - though I think in Argerich and Wang's case, they don't want to be enburdened with the educators' burden, when they can just go out there and be entertainers who are the best performers in the world
2:48' "...but I kind of want the goal without the process yeah..." Yuja Wang is one of today's greatest pianists and in many ways just unbelievable. There's an old song from Cole Porter called : "All Of You ", starting "I love the looks (!) of you..." and in the end it says "I love all of you"😊
Lang Lang is overrated - Yuja is the real deal. A few years ago I attended a concert where Yuja filled in for Martha Argerich who sadly weren't able to attend due to illness, where she played Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 1. Her repertoire and interpretation are both incredible.
A fashion model? yes. Unbelievable skills? yes. Lightning-fast fingers? yes. Sensitivity to the nuances of music, especially from Russian composers? No
Not a psychologist, but I'm wondering what's up with all her giggles during this and other interviews. Yuja's an established star in classical music, charismatic in her appearance, and while she seems to share with us a modest and fun facade, I get the feeling that this is not who she actually is. Don't even get me started about the saucy concert attire. Cannot explain it further - also because I decided to stop attending Verbier and other music festivals around the time that Yuja became famous
What "seduced" me into the world of classical music at first was the enchantingly amazing music combined with the friendly, warm, philosophical and epic vibe of concert halls and classical music festivals. This was of course back in the late 20th century. The world seems to be changing.......
The giggles are because she is a woman in the music industry, where she could get blacklisted for not laughing at some dim male executive's joke one time

Very talented. Very attractive too. But! Don't see why she needs to wear very, far too(!), short attire. 😕 Wear the same stuff by all means but cut just above knee is more 'modest' - professional. For me her choice detracts.
When guys say this they call us controlling and misogynist about women. When women say it they get called old fashioned. But ultimately it’s true - without her outfits, her shtick, she wouldn’t be nearly as successful
Yet we see that attire in pop performers all the time. Classical music is as fun and dazzling and she rocks everything she wears. Yuga Wang is a superb artist who has earned her amazing success.
The pinter who paints is a creator. Yuja is reproducing other peoples works. When she starts composing, she can start comparing herself to creators. She is exceptionally technically skilled, that needs another form of intellect, but she is not creating anything.I cannot stand her performances in most cases. What bothers people the most is the lack of class in her dressing style, which is so far away from all the classical music represents. Other female pianists like Argerich are real ladies and divas, roll morels. Yuja- not at all.
Amazing...brilliant technician, with the velocity of the universe at her back when she sits at the keyboard..Stunning!
Her outfits are glamorous. She looks like a dancer or gymnast. Her playing is absolutely athletic.
athletic yes, just not very poetic or classy, like her outfit.

@@purpleowl2075 Liszt didn't write melodies to hum to, he had bigger ideas than that. If you can't appreciate Liszt then it's your fault not his
Because you're a concert pianist...

@@purpleowl2075, they would not be able to educate people on music. They are performers.
We 💗 Yuja!
hi dg
Absolutely love her honesty about being a piano player
She's truly one of the greats.....if you get a chance to see her do ....well worth it ❤
One of my top ten favorite pianists in the world! Love her style, energy, and humility.
She is amazing. Love her ability bring common folk into her experience and joy of her music. And what energy.
A tinkerbell and a bubbly music note manifested in human figure that is Yuja.
2:48' "...but I kind of want the goal without the process yeah..."
Yuja Wang is one of today's greatest pianists and in many ways just unbelievable.
There's an old song from Cole Porter called :
"All Of You ", starting "I love the looks (!) of you..."
and in the end it says "I love all of you"😊
Best pianist alive❤
Love, love her work. Especially her Glass and Rachmaninoff interpretations ❤❤❤ 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
She’s so talented! ❤❤❤
She’s a stupendous talent!
😎🎹
YUJA。。。。。proud of you..
Yuja you are Ah-mazing!!!
Cmon bby 🙌
I'm a fiddler. but i love her

I love Yuja and have seen her live, but it is time to retire the minidress.
Her dress sense or taste, whichever you prefer to call it, borders on the vulgar. I'd pay to hear her plat, but not to see her.
the secret is to be first!! 😂

It's not a crime to be saucy. It's not the 1500s anymore!

Speaking of primal feelings.
1:02 Money!
Of course...she's a top class professional pianist and a job is to earn money.

@@studiorisechannel Yuja's success is on nothing but talent that few could get from God.
Her body .....her choice .....stop controlling people's freedoms
initially i have same opinion as you but now.... when i closed my eyes, there's pinnacle mastery of an instrument....
Yet we see that attire in pop performers all the time. Classical music is as fun and dazzling and she rocks everything she wears. Yuga Wang is a superb artist who has earned her amazing success.
Wtf
Gross and demeaning
