This rendition of Brahms Paganini shows us how poetic and colourfull might be this magnificient piece if played in the right way (despite most of people thinks it is just viruosistic). Brahms' inventivness has no limit.
She is a great virtuoso, and at the same time combines her technique with her musicianship and sensitivity to give a great performance of these fabulous and impossibly difficult Brahms- Paganini studies.
Qu’il nous soit donné de vivre de tels moments, entendre cette musique jouée de cette façon, et voir en plus cette merveilleuse pianiste, c’est proprement incroyable ! Merci, merci et encore merci !
You can listen in this rendition that she loves Arturo Michelangeli, indeed he was also my first inspiration to play these pieces. He is also playing in the same order. I enjoyes her version too.
You are absolutely right... but I specify all this in my introduction in two languages, French and English (during the first 50 seconds), where I also indicate the (slight) difference between Yuja's choice and Michelangeli's one.
This looks like a recital for her graduation from Curtis Institue studying under Gary Graffman, when she was more or less 19 years old. I recognized the hairstyle from some other videos of her Senio recital.
Well not quite, she leaves the sustained notes to achieve these trills - they're not 4-5. Don't get me wrong, it's an outstanding performance, but this shortcut WAS taken - most pianists take it, no harm done.
If you’d like to hear Yuja Wang’s 2009 Verbier performance of the Brahms in the correct key (A Minor instead of G-Sharp Minor, as it is here), use this link: ruclips.net/video/yXEyFc-7q5g/видео.htmlsi=3KC-ELfVbzTtJxZL The alternate upload is audio only-no Yuja, no score-but it includes some nice pictures of Brahms. I also added time stamps for each variation. 😎🎹
This video disappeared from RUclips about two years ago. I have been looking for it everywhere! Thanks for posting. Can you please post or send the original HD video from Verbier without the score? Thanks a ton.
Thank you for your comment. On my channel, I publish videos that I rework, and to which I bring a "plus". So I'm not going to publish the "raw" video (which I actually don't have in HD). But I want to tell you that the video as I published doesn't cut off any part of the image: so you have the whole video, and I hope that the addition of the score is more a richness than a flaw!
@@IEEMAZ_Convoluted_14.2.8.5 Do you really imagine that I have modified the recording? Or, even more absurdly, that Yuja played a semitone too low? By the way, it seems that your ear is not as perfect as you seem to think: I checked the A note with a tuning fork, and it is indeed an A in this recording. But I was probably wrong to take your words seriously. You were joking.

The on-screen text at the start of this vid declared wang's performance to be unique. Why? Why is it unique? I personally can't hear a SINGLE unique phrasing or approach in this. You should listen to Cziffra's recording - THAT's unique!
If you had taken the time to read carefully, you would have understood that Yuja Wang's version is unique in the sequencing of the variations, not in the interpretation. As for the latter, it may not be "unique", but it is certainly rare, and certainly not inferior to Cziffra's.
some of the greatests like Emil Gilels, Evgeny Kissin, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Martha Argerich seem to struggle with this piece. Yuja's face expresses pleasure, delight, ecstasy. It's unique. let us contemplate this wonder which is given to us, for we will have all eternity to contemplate the divine light
Operation Save classical music: It is something of a tradition for pianists to pick and choose variations from both books to create their own performing version.
Well this piece really shows that Yuja’s techniques actually has limits lol. Obviously she struggled in playing this even with missing notes , arrangement and change of variation order
Cette interprétation montre que celle, définitive, de Julius Katchen, n'est finalement pas définitive. (Bien que ce soit diablement difficile de se l'ôter de l'oreille quand on y est habitué!)
De toute façon, c'est une grande erreur, bien commune, de penser qu'une certaine interprétation serait jamais définitive. Il y a de très grandes interprétations. Et puis, il y en a d'autres, très grandes aussi. Yuja délivre toujours de très grandes interprétations.
@@spiritussanctusband Kissin’s version is a studio recording. You might not know that in that occasion, one can literally cut every single bar and adjust wrong notes. As I wrote in my previous comment, I am talking about LIVE performances. Also, I find it infuriating when someone criticizes a recording or an artist with such arrogance. It really isn’t fair (in this particular recording) not to take in consideration all the godlike things she is doing with relatively small hands.
Очень люблю Юджи Ванг! Она как рысь на клавиатуру набрасывается! Не только слушать её, но и смотреть-залюбуешься! Браво!❤
Yuja brings a fresh interpretation to this masterwork of Brahms. Note how we hear the negative harmony clearly in the various lines. ❤
Awesome play Yuja! Love it!
Precision, voicing, energy! Artistry
She owns it, good god, she owns its. What an awesome pianist

Virtuosismo
Superb. Thank you for the video
I've heard the great ones in historical performances play this, and as much as anyone owns the piece, she can claim ownership. Virtuosa!

Her Curtis recital is from 2006. This performance is from the 2009 Verbier Festival. 😎🎹
2:49 my favorite part
She made the music appear from her heart
WOW THOSE TRILLS IN Var. 4!!! INSANE
Well not quite, she leaves the sustained notes to achieve these trills - they're not 4-5. Don't get me wrong, it's an outstanding performance, but this shortcut WAS taken - most pianists take it, no harm done.
@@LisztianGR The notes you're referring to are only a quaver in length so aren't asked to be sustained for the full length of the trill.

@@eusebiusetflorestan2532 you changed it a semitone didn’t you? She’s playing an A, and because I have perfect pitch I hear a g sharp

Bravo!
Why is this 1 half step lower
Probably rendered onto RUclips differently and it transposed by speeding or slowing down the recording.
👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹😘
Unbelievable!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yuja Wang plays especially well whenever she has a bad hair day.
Ordinary mortals can only look on in wonder
Yeah, it's not fair. Why do some humans get so gifted? While the big majority are only "ordinary mortals".

Sweet, Charming, Funny, BEAUTIFUL, and of course, So TALENTED LADY!!! I LOVE YUJA WANG!!!
3:05 somehow I'm hearing Radiohead's Knives Out
興味深い演奏ですね。
Poesía pura
Unfortunately the sound and video aren't synchronized
Anybody got a .flac or .aac version so I don't have to deal with RUclips's shitty audio compression?
My preferred version after Benedetti Michelangeli
Her plastic sound and her lack of whatsoever imagination don't stand comparison with ABMs prodigious renditions.

Anche in questo video yuja è sorprendente: in passato ha eseguito autori diversi da Brahms...

It's unique. let us contemplate this wonder which is given to us, for we will have all eternity to contemplate the divine light
Are you sure? I don't think so, Kissin, Argerich have the gift to play whatever they want in the way the want.
What abt petrov
Argerich didnt even play this
Argerich never played this. Delusional fanboy :D
@@asalj4014 yes 😄
What is the reason that you edited the key down?
Yes why?
I’ve been trying to find out this conspiracy the whole time.
So it doesn't get copyrighted or removed
You edited this to a semitone down and I wonder why it’s out of order for example once it was variation 4 and then it goes to variation 15

OMG, she plays the rhythm wrong in bar 11.
Well this piece really shows that Yuja’s techniques actually has limits lol. Obviously she struggled in playing this even with missing notes , arrangement and change of variation order

Even the sheet music is a minor she’s playing g sharp minor! It makes no sense!!!
조율이 좀 이상한 거 같은데
She's ignoring the dynamic markings.
But it makes no sense! Why is she playing a semi tone down?
out of sync
Variation 8 is technically not perfect.
It’s one of the cleanest versions ever performed live. You must really be a god of piano playing to say such thing!
@@lorenzoadamo1557 I know how difficult it is. Anyway, look at Kissin for example, he does better.
