Omg! Yuja Wang & David Fung with Gustavo Dudamel & the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Heavenly!

[@helenyuan8619]

Yuja Wang，David Fung ,和指揮 Gustavo Dudamel 及LA 樂團Phiharmonic的天作之合，令人感動，令人震撼，美妙絕倫！感恩👍👏❤️🌹👌🙏🙏

[@sergioj.campos2259]

not a fly not a coughing even thou its a carnival full enjoyment ...marvelous yuja!!!

[@bobgold57]

...the kind of performance you want to share with everybody. Hopefully we'll look back on the masks and empty hall as a blip in our lives. Love the photography/production, and the musicianship is a delight. There's a magic to Saint-Saens that's too often overlooked.

[@timmellin2815]

Yeah, I couldn't believe his Organ Symphony, when I first heard it at Davies Hall in Frisco, years ago, w/ Juan Pascal Tortelier conducting. Memorized it since then, and I had the second movement adagio played at my mom's graveside service.

[@lorddvalin1]

What did I just listen to and watch ? absolutely gorgeous

[@catherinejones9396]

A great piano duo-both found the fun in this work. Well done, thank you both and to the orchestra, brilliant orchestral soloists and impish conductor as well. The best version of this opus for me.

[@fmangin63]

Great interpretation of a masterwork of a great (and too often underestimated) composer who died 100 ago. Thank your G. Dudamel, Y. Wang and D. Fung!

[@sosenpott5445]

Leider ohne jedes Publikum. Unerträglich, so wunderbar es anzuhören ist.

[@helenyuan8619]

指揮的表情，活力十足，歡悦讚賞，有趣可愛，可圈可點⋯⋯。指揮的靈活掌握，羽佳的靈巧快樂，David 的冷靜沈著，整個樂團的靈魂人物配合，精彩絕倫，太令人感動。感恩能聆賞到這樣的演出。👍👏👏👏🌹💞👌🙏

[@Naim11443]

this is the best interpretation i have found so far, congrats, i can only see prodigies on this perfomance, very good job

[@san-qinglubennaman2391]

What a beautiful cello solo swan !!!

[@eldergeektromeo9868]

Yuja is always a pleasure to experience!

[@vincentmancini6279]

She should be in Broadway musicals!

[@kudzem]

For those asking about the iPads, many sheet music apps can listen and turn pages automatically.

[@collinstanujaya_pianist]

May I know any free apps that can turn pages automatically? Thanks!

[@valkhorn]

It doesn't work for me as a brass player in an orchestral setting. There are gestures you can use too. I don't really like pedals, but I have found a bluetooth clicker as a ring works wonders. That wouldn't work on a piano though.

[@davidzhu777]

finally, I heard two pianos and cello version of the Swan!

[@raoultak]

Bravo to all musicians and not to forget to........ Saint-Saens.

Splendido morto divertente.Esecuzione magisfrale

[@delta25a]

Impressive!

[@richiejohnson]

Everything about this video is gilt edged. Dudamel recalls Toscanini to me. The skill of the soloists brings the eagerness of youth--- we are ever young, ever more hopeful when they perform for us. Koodos to the recordist 🤌💋

[@jthai6149]

Carnival of Animals under the stars in Hollywood. What could be better? (With ice cream please.)

[@altoclef6688]

Fun and skilled performance, but somewhat rushed at times. Particularly the tortoises which I personally like performed painfully slow. Guess there was a copyright cut in the beginning of the Pianists? The additional "wrong notes" in the last scale was pure genius!

[@mikelee5859]

是哪裡漏電嗎？大家都在抖抖抖！

[@sweettooth2708]

Has anybody noticed that fossiles is really simiilar to Saëns’ Dance Macabre?

[@gabchaim8232]

13:50 it runs off the rails

[@chili3452]

Cello solo OMG❤️Excellente orchestra

[@diepauandrana8862]

Brillantes

[@나의맘-s2u]

Yuja wang has powerful energy than pianist man

[@PeterWTaylor]

Saint Saens refused to allow this piece to be published in his lifetime since he thought it would detract from his reputation as a 'serious' composer. I wonder what Tchaikovsky would have said about that.

[@joannabarouch9190]

Will this ever be released as a DVD

[@doragrimaldi499]

Adoravel. Parece simples ?!!!

I'm curious hhat tablet they use to read sheet music? does anyone know?

[@elianecampello7803]

😍❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@mosaiques23]

As writen in the score by Camille Saint-Saens: "Grande Fantasie Zoologique pour 2 Pianos, 2 Violons, Alto, Violoncelle, Contre-basse, Flute, Clarinette, Harmonica & Xylophone" The "Harmonica" or "Glass armonica" is mostly replaced by a Glockenspiel. My point is that it's a chamber music piece for 11 musician, not for full orchestra. I don't understand why people insist on playing this piece with more musicians than are needed. 🤔

[@stefanbohle]

the Ipad is so unsexy!!!

[@augustpropertymanagement3389]

The two should date together.

The Taliban won't like this.

[@ravelesque34]

Did yuja wang gain weight 🤔

[@jvoyou]

I had always imagined that a musician was made to be listened to and not to be looked at. This is not the case for this person. She plays soullessly like a player piano. I don't know if she understands what she's playing. So she compensates with a physique far superior to her talent.

[@bloodgrss]

What an ignorant troll. You obviously know nothing about music, and that is soullessness itself...

[@ironbutterfly1470]

Lovely music but so sad to see the string players all muzzled up.

[@bernardpoulin5254]

Prise de son =. Zero

[@christophermorgan3261]

Yuja has put on weight.

[@bloodgrss]

I think we all did during the shutdown-she seems to have lost it since..

[@Mona-hoch]

I'm sorry but her weight is none of your business

[@Bruce.-Wayne]

Lol.....I logged in the comments to see if anyone noticed...maybe she had a baby or something or just aging

[@bloodgrss]

@@Mona-hoch You need to relax. Someone who puts such a professional emphasis on her appearance is open to comment over it. Those, like me, who are fans couldn't care less given her amazing talents, but critique is certainly appropriate for anyone who craves the attention of the public eye by way of her dress choices as well as her musical abilities. I happen to think both are superlative...

[@christophermorgan3261]

@@Mona-hoch True. I'd love her at any weight.

[@phpn99]

Los Angeles has made Dudamel gradually embrace a glitzy, superficial approach to music, like it has in the past to other conductors. Everything starts to sound "for show" and lacks substance, sincerity. Here we're always reminded we're listing to the performance of something recited a myriad times ; it never sounds like the music is being composed now, as we witness it unravel. Yuja Wang too, has now become wrapped into showomanship-above-all-else, and all her skill goes to this soulless rendition. If you find any charm to this, it is from the residual genius of the score, coming through.

[@bloodgrss]

Sorry Pn, total pretentious bull from you. .

[@fatimaestinzo6139]

man, are you even a musician?

[@Standinthegap0]

1 like for the great music, 1 unlike for musicians wearing stupid masks, and 1 dislike for the conductor and soloists not wearing masks, making everything look like a hypocritical $hit show, which it is.

[@bloodgrss]

Sigh, another COVID denier after 1 million+ deaths.

[@rickwendling5735]

Masks and social distancing? Don’t you know anything about viruses?

[@goldfieldfireworks7352]

"Aquarium" is always heavenly to hear.

[@mike76543210]

remind of me the beginning of beauty and the beast

[@gregson99]

reminds me of edward scissor hands:)

[@alanhirschman1320]

John Williams must have been inspired by this piece for some of his Harry Potter themes.

[@timmellin2815]

Not a big surprise....composers have been emulating musical motifs from other composers, for ages.

[@richiejohnson]

Reminds me of the planetarium music from LA LA land

[@urseldoran2991]

A day without Yuja music is a day without sunshine. I mean EVERY DAY!

[@Sayoinmayo]

I expect Saint-Saens never expected this piece to even be performed or even to this degree with two of the best pianists in the world and conductor.

[@player1giogamer93]

Two of the BEST pianist?? What a joke bro

[@Amparo-p5v]

Lo que nunca esperó Saint-Saens es que ignorantes escucharan su música. Seguramente es usted británico ?

[@RodrigoMartinez-ri2kf]

The fact that the composer used the Danse Macabre main theme in the fossils movement is too cool to be true LOL

[@MaxFox_Gaming]

And Tortises uses the Offenbach Can-Can theme :D

[@maxcadzow293]

What a treasure of a performance! Lost count of the decades of loving this.

[@francesco5491]

If you are capable to enjoy yourself by listening to Yuja and absorb the beautifulness of her music, your life isn't miserable at all. That's why music is made for.

[@zogzog1063]

@@francesco5491 Exactly right. In fact you are enjoying riches beyond the means of many.

[@gussolano4983]

Yes, she makes me huge too. Great performance. As a cellist who played the swan like when I was 13 years old, I'm glad they use a cellist for the swan.

[@georgenorris2657]

I have heard this piece countless times but have never enjoyed it so much! The wonderful musicianship of all concerned was a revelation! I will probably never hear it so well-played again!

[@jeanqueudot6152]

Ah quel plaisir...Yuja et David ne sont plus à présenter, par contre je ne connais pas hélas le nom du violoncelliste sur le Cygne dont la grâce et la sensibilité m'ont beaucoup touché. Et Gustavo Dudamel est un des chefs que je préfère car quelque part pour lui la musique est une joie et reste un jeu. Ne dit-on pas jouer la musique ou d'un instrument ? Ce Carnaval en est un bon exemple

[@rockithoney]

Absolutely wonderful.
