This concert is fascinating !! It is incredible to see Yuja Wang and Lahav Shani in tune with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra !! It is literally a dialogue, where the musical text is beautifully presented !!
Here here. It may help the score vs no score debate to understand that SHani as conductor and pianist has the Mozart 10 in his repertoire as pianist and condcutor; he knows the piece and doesn't need the score. Anyone who knows DannyBarenboim's work as conductor and pianist knows the enormous repertoire he has in his mind and soul...without score. Yuja Wang plays about 140 concerts a year worldwide. If you check her website you will see the repertoire she plays. Year by year she has been building. As a teenager and early 20s she played the Russians because, as she put it: "That is what we are expected to do." Once she was asked why not Beethoven? Her answer at 22 was revealing: "Beethoven is a philosopher, I must learn and understand his philosophy before I an play him." The fact is she was playing him, but not publicly. She was learning and playing, mostly under the tutelage of her long-time teacher Garry Graffman who was the first of the great pieanists to recognize her talent. Anyone who has heard her Hammerklavier understands what she has now learned. She is one of the great interpreters of Beethoven and not yet 30. There is more good news. She recently Bach to her repertoire, the most daunting challenge of all. She has been playing Bach privately for years and to those who have notheard her play Bach, there are exceiting times ahead.
I am a great fan of Ms. Yuja Wang; on this particular performance, I find myself also mesmerized by the sounds made by Mr. Lahav Shani - absolutely gorgeous tone that does justice to this masterpiece - a cascading cornupcopia of sounds by a musical genius the world may never see an equal. This is a performance to cherish.
It looks like Yuja is sightreading this, I wonder if this concert a was a last minute decision for her? It's amazing that pianists can play so many notes from memory!
Can she ever play a wrong note? Can she ever make a mistake? I sincerely doubt it. I'm certain this is how the Angels play in heaven. Thank you, Yuja Wang.
C' est un Robot, Bionique , cloné depuis Long, Curzon, lipatti, S-Richter, etc, tel un joueur d' échecs qui a appris toutes les parties célèbres, avec l' âme de Rubinstein et Samson François + un défilé de mode .
The performances were very enjoyable and K365 a very good choice for a festive occasion such as this. Two odd things however. 1) someone has commented that Yuja is "starting" to play Mozart. She first performed a Mozart concerto in public at least sixteen years ago! 2) Why is it called the IPO's "80th" anniversary? Israel did not exist until the end of 1947; before that the ensemble was called the 'Palestine' Philharmonic Orchestra as it was founded when that country was part of British Mandated Palestine. This may seem a small quibble, but if every country in the world celebrated everything as though the world had always been as it is now world history would have to be completely rewritten. BTW. Toscanini conducted the PPO's first public concert on Boxing Day in 1936. It was made up almost entirely of leading Jewish orchestral musicians who had fled from Nazi persecution in Germany.
Such an incredible combination of Yuja Wang and Lahav Shani, and this great orchestra. Yuja is of course amazing (maybe her Mozart better than her Beethoven?.. ) , but too what a phenomenal conductor/pianist Lahav Shani is; such intensity, precision and vitality - let's hope there's more to come of this dream combination!
블랙핑크팬보이 I think Yuja Wang's Beethoven is more comfortable for her, frankly. Here she lacks a bit of Shani's rhythmic precision & confidence. She usually plays Romantic composers, so Mozart would be a little awkward for her.
Fascinating historical note: The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra was founded as the Palestine Symphony Orchestra by violinist Bronisław Huberman in 1936, at a time of the dismissal of many Jewish musicians from European orchestras. Its inaugural concert took place in Tel Aviv on December 26, 1936, conducted by Arturo Toscanini. Its first principal conductor was William Steinberg. In 1948, after the creation of the State of Israel, the orchestra was renamed as the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
Does NOT. He is conducting. Yuja wang is correct to have the score, at least somebody will know where we are, like the rest of the professional orchestra with their printed music. This is Mozart at his best, full of fun. Yuja sometimes plays with two pages open at once. I find even one page difficult to sight-read.
Who cares ? These two were music prodigies, from a young age. And they've confirmed/fulfilled their promises, which is not that easy. Even with the score in front of one's eyes, it still takes A LOT of brains and talent to play this music. As for me, I wish I had one tenth of Yuja's talent. And my advice is: so should you.
at last playing some classical music of quality. Mozart. not everything has to be blazingly fast and complicated and frivolous. its good entertainment, but lower music.
The "real deal' here is the absurdity of your post. Anyone with any musical knowledge and a sound ear will find no "mannered and common" playing here. The most one can say is they both play well; he with less virtuosity and speed. No, just another Yuja Wang hater with a troll agenda trying to mask as serious pianistic understanding...
@@Paroles_et_Musique Huh? What a punch back! But thanks, I am "knowledgeable in the field". As for "stereotypes', no need. Pretty clear your a full-blown fanboy internet troll. Lahav IS a pretty boy, eh Valery? 😉
@@bloodgrss There was nothing disrespectful in my comment, Mozart is a hard to get universe, look at legendary pianists as Richter, Horowitz, Rachmaninov, Rubinstein, Marta Argerich, they basically can't play well Mozart, they just don'"t feel it. That doesn't make them bad pianists. Yuja Wang never played Mozart, that is her first try, and in my opinion she doesn't get it, you said it well, she play fast and virtuoso. Lahav, on the other side, plays it mature, with a beautiful sound, calmly and sensitive. That's all, you agree or not, it is weird to go on such rant because someone dared to criticize your idol. Grow up.
@@Paroles_et_Musique Again, another fanboy comment. Wang's performance here, and of Mozart's 9th, is masterly-you are simply prejudiced toward her. You need to divorce your sexual preference for the boy here from an actual critical eye-there is a reason she is an internationally renowned pianist and he a regional one...
hm, the conductor is doing two things at the same time, conducting and playing the piano, and he doesn't need the score, and the pianist is supposed to be the main character here, and is only doing one thing, and her part is equal to the conductor in the score, and she reads score, there's certain thing just shows signs, if you know what I'm saying
On reste sceptique devant les gestes assez approximatifs du chef : il bat la mesure de façon très personnelle... Son jeu n'est pas plus convaincant, manquant de nuances et non sans dureté. Ne serait-il pas plus approprié de prévoir un chef et deux pianistes ?? ;-))
Walter nicolich Sani doesn't have sheet music for the good reason that he is also conducting & has to know the whole piece, Wang only her part, strictly speaking. Furthermore it would be impossible for Shani to read two pieces of sheet music at once.
+mckavitt ever heard of piano reduction scores? That's where the the orchestral part is reduced to a piano part for practice and the piano part is directly above it. As conductor, he'd be reading off that if he hadn't memorized the piano section. He would not be reading off two scores.
It's a wonderful composition that's not often performed. YW played with style and delightful enthusiasm. YW always complements the orchestra well. She listens to the music as a whole, not just her own part. (I even prefer YW's interpretation of Mozart over Uchida's, as YW's performance is full of life while Uchida's is more stylish to the period but lacks liveliness.) Laval's tone was too heavy and lacked vitality, making it somewhat cumbersome. His general interpretation of Mozart is typical of the continental style, not unique. His piano playing doesn't blend well with the orchestra (which is surprising as he is its conductor). The orchestra was good, but not on the caliber of the Vienna Philharmonic. The tempo was a bit fast, in my opinion. Their encore was delightful.
I guess this concerto simply isn't a part of her standard repertoire. The standard repertoire, practiced in every nitty gritty detail she of course knows by heart. Mr Shani surely has this in HIS standard repertoire, ergo he doesn't need to see the score. Which also mean Ms Wang does not play this as good as she would be able to with a work from her repertoire - which doesn't matter much, she is so good that even if she plays below her own ability there is not much to complain about. ..
Ridiculous having the pianist conducting in between. There is absolutely no need for it. He acts like they will suddenly fall apart if he doesn't grace them with his almighty leadership every moment his hand is free. Can't stand most conductors anyway, but this kind of thing is absurd.
The orchestra sounds rough and not in sync, Yuja sounds a little rough, like she just learned this the day before. Or, maybe Mozart is just not in her wheelhouse.
Q: Who prophesied all these things, so that people today could point across the street and say, "Hey, that old weirdo over there with the glasses, uh, we really don;t like him at all --- but ISN'T HE R I G H T ? {And he's nothing but an American TRUCKDRIVER, sone of a BUSDRIVER --- who ever would've believe a thing like that {we went to great lengths to persecute him --- nd now HE's being named "Son of the LIGHT --- the TRUTH --- the one who cut off kings and princes in the Name of GOD AlONE {Psalm 118}.

В наших тяжел ых буднях музыка держит нас на плаву. Браво автору и исполнителям.
Magnifique! Music like this raises the world to a transcendental level. Both Shani and Wang bring unearthly Mozartean beauty down to us mortals.
Thank you, Yuja Wang. Thank you, Lahav Shani. A wonderful concert. Thank you, IPO. 🙏 💐
This concert is fascinating !! It is incredible to see Yuja Wang and Lahav Shani in tune with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra !! It is literally a dialogue, where the musical text is beautifully presented !!
Amazing performance from every one on stage. Yuja is starting to play Mozart and , not surprisely, on a really fantastic way !!
Truly...a great and majestic performance! Thank you very much...Ma'am Yuja, Sir Lahav and the IPO.
Great teamwork! Breathtaking performance by the Artist of the Year and a very good conductor/pianist. Mozart at it's best.
Michael Schefold Mozart at his best or Mozart's music at its best.

絕妙的合作，爐火純青，視聽綜合，活現了莫札特短暫生命的精華。虔誠的感謝王羽佳 Lahav Shani 和以色列交響樂團。
If there were to be a CD or DVD of Yuia / Mozart I would buy it and many more like me out there. Playful and idiosyncratic Brrilliant interpretation.
Loving Mozarts piano concerts especially performed by young Interpreter!
Can she ever play a wrong note? Can she ever make a mistake? I sincerely doubt it. I'm certain this is how the Angels play in heaven. Thank you, Yuja Wang.
She almost gives the impression it is so inevitable that she hardly needs to practise. In reality, I bet she spends hours getting it so perfect.
William Stolley I love your comments ！
Does it matter if she does, William?
You're not pianist are you? She has made plenty of mistakes in her many concerts total. It's totally normal.

Brilliant performance by all! Yuja has an aura of perfection!
It has been so long ago that I heard Emil Gilels and his daughter (Elena?) played the same concerto on vinyl. Equally captivating.
Wonderful performance all around. Thanks
Interprétation miraculeuse des deux partenaires !
Good piece of Mozart, and a bit of Tchaikovsky at the end. Excellent

Absolutely fabulous! One of my favorite performances.
You need to hear no more than the first two phrases of each to realize who is the better pianist AND musician of these two.
Amazing. I'm just a rock and roll guy. However, I always look for the the best performance of K.365. I love it. Walter Klein nailed it.
The 2nd movt. is breathtaking...
Please tell Maestro Shani Mozart didn’t expect him to memorize every note... it’ll take years to prepare for something new!
Beyond words.

Do you also have footage of Yuja playing Shostakovich Concerto for Piano and Trumpet? It was at the same event as this concerto.

@@marcjames3487 It isn't from this concert, but still great. Thanks!
perfect performance !!!!!!!!!!
Maybe it still makes sense to insert commercials on pauses between parts of the concerto, and not right across the music?
Amazing Lahav Shani does not need the score in front of him like Yuja Wang, he is very gifted!!
Does NOT. He is conducting. Yuja wang is correct to have the score, at least somebody will know where we are, like the rest of the professional orchestra with their printed music. This is Mozart at his best, full of fun. Yuja sometimes plays with two pages open at once. I find even one page difficult to sight-read.
John-Patrick Dickson yes does NOT!! 😊 are you part of that orchestra? but surely a conductor would need the score in front of them?
Mr Herman’s anti Ms Wang is very recognizable. A real classic critic should not be racist.

The Lowy concert hall is not listed in Wikipedia, isn't this the Mann hall?
This venue was renamed the Charles Bronfman Auditorium within the past few years.
Double percussion was invented for this very reason--as close to perfect as two humans can get. Mozart would sh*t himself if he heard this.
I hate it when audiences pretty much demand encores.
great! but: why 2.40 minutes waiting in the video? cut it!
Patience my friend-its part of the whole broadcast. Slow down a little and relax...
камера не успевает фиксировать движения ее пальцев

12:48 Shameless pilfering of a great ABBA progression by Herr Mozart. But Pachelbel gets his own back 23:49

Probably it is not in Ms Wang's standard repertoire and she has only practiced it a few days. Mr Shani on the other hand knows this work very well.

Another stupid comment. Never heard this commentator recorded or playing with an international orchestra.
They were a classy orchestra in the early sixties last century but of late they look to be faltering. Maybe a name change might lift their spirits.
