@@adrianwright8685 Yuja's unconventional repertoire, style of concerts / performance / presentation breaks out of classical norms - she is inspiring younger generations to engage with classical music when it was dying and suffering from the effects of the pandemic She deserves all the credit - I am sorry that some people cannot see that beneath her superficial exterior that she is innovative in her interpretations and the most technically adept pianist of our times
I like Einstein on the Beach and Glassworks, maybe a few others. However, I think Reich and Adams took Glass' ideas and made something vastly more interesting from them. It's sort of like when the Classical Era started you had to get through the Boccherinis before you got to the Haydns and Mozarts. Ultimately, Glass is rather boring and harmonically uninteresting.

@prometheusrex1 Glass isn't have bad to my ears. I've always had a taste for far far more music from baroque, classical, romantic and modern than simply contemporary Philip Glass alone.
Ore 18- l'interpretazione di YUJA-WANG è travolgente,appassionata, emozionante - è una Artista Interprete dotata di grande sensibilità passione, comunicatività - un Genio pianistico colma di Talento ❤
Epiphany of life, the beginning, calming but rising tempo, the storm, calm, back to storm, calm again, new unexpected storm, then calm beginning again and off into other shores
When I first heard about her, almost 20 years ago, I thought -"oh, no, here comes the female Lang Lang". How completely wrong I was, and how discriminating (although, I am part Cantonese). Yuja Wang is the most special pianist, and she will get better. I am thrilled that, as long as I live she will be around playing the piano as one does magic.
This is very evocative playing. I can almost hear a voice... "With all new pre-collision braking, the 2021 Subaru Impreza is the best in class for safety..."
Du fragst, wie mir das Lied gelungen ist, Den Tiefen meiner Brust entsprungen ist? - Wer nur begeistert von des Goldes Glanz Und zum Gesange nur gedungen ist; Wer seinem Herrn mit Sang die Zeit vertreibt, Weil er als Knecht dazu gezwungen ist: Deß Lied erstirbt sogleich in der Geburt, Weil's nicht von Lebensgluth durchdrungen ist. - Nur wer vom Saft der Trauben tief erglüht Und von der Liebe fest umschlungen ist; Nur wessen heißentbrannter Busen voll Von wonnigen Erinnerungen ist; Nur wem das Herz im trunknen Busen wogt Noch eh' in Worten es gesungen ist; Nur wen es tief im Innersten durchbebt, Noch eh' in Tönen es erklungen ist; Nur wessen Denken, wessen Fühlen ganz Dem Lied gleich, dem ewig jungen ist: - Nur der singt frisch und frei wie Hafis sang Des Lied und Lob auf allen Zungen ist! Wilhelm Toporoff (1817-1873), Das Lied
Finally. Few know that the music instructions for No. 6 direct the pianist to wear a sparkly one-piece bathing suit (your choice of color), matching color FitBit and when you bow, imagine a bullwhip sound-effect.
@@alyssaa07 Ms. Wang is amazing and I'm fortunate to have seen her live for a Grammy-award winning performance. However, her dress is so short that it does look a bit like a swimsuit, esp sitting down. That definitely looks like a FitBit. And that was a killer snappy quick bow. She has panache and she most certainly know it.
Can only comment about the piano playing, as Glass’s musical processes don’t qualify as good music to my mind, but if you think Yuja is not the better interpreter here, your ears need some serious work.
This is the only time I’d disagree with tempo critique. It might’ve been a race tbh, she could’ve had another piece. If you play at an allegro tempo, the whole entire piece will take about 7 minutes which to me, is a literal snooze fest. Better off presto than not.
@@hahhey1372Same, I think a lot of pieces needlessly turn into a race and end up muddying the sound. This piece starts tense right from the beginning and never lets up, I think it calls for feeling that tension in the way it's played
There is no such thing as a bad interpretation, just a version you don't like. You display your musical ignorance with such comments as anyone with a modicum of musical knowledge, experience, training or appreciation knows that music is a subjective experience and that no professional player endeavours to emulate another, but instead, they bring themselves to the stage and present music their way. That's what makes music so special. Snobs like you are the ones that kill the essence and purpose of music.
I'm rather agree. YW's belongs to the set of "fast and furious" interpretation of this etude (leaving apart that she recomposes the sections at her pleasure, without respecting the repetitions - ok, I guess it was an encore). I prefer "calmer" renderings that enhance the ritmical obsession with more precision and without compromising the musicality of the piece. That by Batagov, for example. (ruclips.net/video/rwqyiTNpo2A/видео.html).
@@gvozdennikolic5694 Not really. YW did not add anything original to that "universe". As I said, I find other interpretations much more interesting. That preferences are personal is obviuos. Only fools can claim to make "absolute" judgments.
Yuja Wang never fails to amaze me with her refreshing approach to music and her willingness to experiment and break out of classical norms

One of the most beautiful piano compositions of Glass right up there with Morning Passages and Metamorphosis no. 1.

there is medication for hallucinations if they cause distress
Yes indeed, Yuja's phrasing, dynamics, tempo and especially, those thighs!
@@adrianwright8685 ayooo 😭
Yes, I can see him looking at her and pretty much thinking what any man thinks when they look at her. 😛🥖
@@blipco5 Wow....
I went to her concert last week in Tokyo, and she played it as an encore song, I felt bit nostalgic because of this melody...but so nice😊
No contest what so ever. The Brilliant Yuja is the obvious, and finest pianist in anything she does. Such pleasure to listen to.
Yep

As usual Yuja, you are nothing short of amazing! Thank You.
Breathless!!! Yuja is incredible!!! 🎹🎹🎹🌹🌹🌹

Sicuramente la migliore esecuzione di tutto il web.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I would love to see Hiromi and Yuja perform together.
Perfection in every way! Encore Yujia! Encore! 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Agreed 100000000%!!
Am in tears watching this performance. What a boss. Spectacular performance.

Female Lang Lang, nice talk. This song with this tempo, I should say only god can do that, such a magical.

Tiene otros estudios también… y son maravillosos ,¡maravillosa!
I saw her in 2020. Need to see her again.
Whenever I see her I think she is easy on the eye. Whenever I listen to her, I am mesmerized.
@@petroslinardos She made me fly beyond everything that day. Rachmaninov, Scriabin and Bach.
Wow!
Goosebumps!!
Is a dream come true find this video.
Wow, klänning super!!!!
Legend has it, she's doing the QWOP 100 meters in under 8 Seconds. Blindfolded.
Yes thank you.
Du fragst, wie mir das Lied gelungen ist,
Den Tiefen meiner Brust entsprungen ist? -
Wer nur begeistert von des Goldes Glanz
Und zum Gesange nur gedungen ist;
Wer seinem Herrn mit Sang die Zeit vertreibt,
Weil er als Knecht dazu gezwungen ist:
Deß Lied erstirbt sogleich in der Geburt,
Weil's nicht von Lebensgluth durchdrungen ist. -
Nur wer vom Saft der Trauben tief erglüht
Und von der Liebe fest umschlungen ist;
Nur wessen heißentbrannter Busen voll
Von wonnigen Erinnerungen ist;
Nur wem das Herz im trunknen Busen wogt
Noch eh' in Worten es gesungen ist;
Nur wen es tief im Innersten durchbebt,
Noch eh' in Tönen es erklungen ist;
Nur wessen Denken, wessen Fühlen ganz
Dem Lied gleich, dem ewig jungen ist: -
Nur der singt frisch und frei wie Hafis sang
Des Lied und Lob auf allen Zungen ist!
Wilhelm Toporoff (1817-1873), Das Lied
Das Text ist Von Göethe?

Perfect, better that original version
What did her Fitbit register?
The white keys have never seemed so tall!

This is pop music
beach outfit is also good. 😊

On Earth, ONLY ONE MAN DO THIS RIGHT: Maki Namekawa.
So you didn't like the performance. Say what was wrong instead of just engaging in "whataboutism".
Yes, Yuja Wang is great, but Namekawa is the standard.

Great pianist, but , sorry to tell you, this music turning around on 4 chords is so poor harmonically, that it gets me bored after 10 seconds...
Absolutely... I'm surprised she chose to play this empty, machine music....
