Bravo, bravo, bravo!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIbPYYKElMurbrs She is Amsterdam red light district , mediocre classical pianist, she and Khatia Buniatishvili, i think they try to compensate for their lack of talent, i think they are both overrated and need a book on etiquette badly. I am not a prude but these chicks look like they carry a supply of penicillin with them, they can't be taken seriously, neither is pretty, so i assume the dressing is used to distract the people from their looks, and Khatia with all the phony hair flipping which is so unauthentic. I am not being mean just real, we all like pretty things and they could be sexy without looking classically hookerish, someone should tell them, but i think they have been told and don't care, they look like rough broads. :-)

A perfect pair of performers for one of Rachmaninoff's masterpieces. Yuja adds her charm, which is an extra bonus ❤Thanks a lot for sharing.

[@michaelschefold3299]

Two artists with good taste playing Rachmaninoff, who was also well known for his good taste! No jumping up and down on the piano bench and making silly grimaces like so many other pianists do! Simply beautiful piano playing with a natural flow...like Rachmaninoff himself!

Expressionism is nothing bad, there was a pianist who performed in the last Chopin competitions with the funniest facial expression, yet his etude op 10 nr 11 was incredible, facial expression is not a sign of disrespect

This performance extracted every bit of Lugansky´s talent.

[@norwalltino]

Yuja Wang is a stunning genius always exposing artistic female power and beauty, the gentleman Nikolai Lugansky is a giant as well lucky to collaborate with the highest piano star of our time.

[@schutsheer_des_vaderlands]

Don't know if Lugansky is the lucky one per se in this case

[@Paroles_et_Musique]

@@PianoBangBang Sure, I am a pianist so I do know her strengths, she has amazing skills for which anyone would be jealous, why not. But she worked hard so is not something freely given, usually jealousy occurs when we think someone is unjustly better, by nature, by heritage and such. But then there is music and Lugansky is in. Yuja Wang is a meteor which polishes surfaces, not a sun to light through history.

How can she master those beautiful ballerinas on the keyboard? Again, I am just glad that I've discovered this beautiful angel even if in my late life. Yes, beautiful is never said too many times about Yuja.

[@republiccooper]

Rachmaninoff really created some beautiful music here. Like a heart overflowing with joyful emotion. Did he compose anything more joyful?

Forget the nitty gritty in performance and simply respect a level of ability and aesthetic awareness which emanates from the two keyboards. It pains me every time NOT to have learned the basics as a child as in my head l am in accord with these virtuosos

I love Yuja, and I love piano, but the name of the channel should be "The Best of Classical Piano Music, Featuring Yuja Wang". If I created a channel and called it the Best of Classical Music and it was all classical guitar and mostly Andres Segovia I do think people would also object.

[@catherinejones9396]

New to me this work. Felt the comments below were less than truthful. Perhaps there were technical rather than pianistic issues occasionally. Funnily enough I felt that Rachmaninoff came at this piece from somewhere in the midst of his thinking-doesn't give a beginning to end idea. Perhaps this is a deconstructed effort? Different, but thanks for it though.

[@sulo1039]

This was a waste of time to listen to. Speed for show and no music. Two pianists not connecting with each other and no feeling whatsoever. Of course, today's public is impressed by this showmanship over musicianship and at the end seem to be applauding at a ball game. I expected more from these two stellar pianists.

@@georgescancan7503 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. People more astute as you have remarked many times about Yuja's good looks. I haven't watched Khatia Buniatishili, so I have nothing to say about her, but for you to say that Yuja is mediocre show's your ignorance. She is invited to play with top orchestras and conductors all over the world. I think they are better judges of her talent than you. Perhaps your idea of what red light district hookers look like come from personal experience. Saying you're not a prude is like Trump saying he isn't a raciest. The fact that she has chosen to not wear the traditional old lady dresses of past women pianists has no influence on the outcome of the beautiful music she is able to create. I'd suggest you find your amusement elsewhere than on classical music channels.

[@coolenmike]

I agree. It was too fast for my taste. So much seemed to get lost in the speed. Of course, taste is personal, so these tempos may be fine for others.

Last movement duel of two pyrotechnic keyboard artists, may have compromised the musical intent of this inspirational opus, Where the tempo unfortunately was as one commentator mentioned too fast.

[@soundhill1]

Try Askenazy/ Previn. I may regret saying this but in the studio less resonance more clarity.

[@bobkosovsky1370]

Awful. It's way to fast . They don't care about the music at all and treat it like a technical exercise or a contest of "let's see how fast we can play this." Great technique and absolutely horrendous and very unmusical musicianship.

[@roku401]

Yuja and Nikolaj are pretty faithful to Rachmaninoff's intentions here. Rachmaninoff normally played his music rather matter of factly so I think he would agree with these break neck paces. If you listen to Rachmaninoff's own playing of his third piano concerto, he plays the finale very quickly, so much so that I would think you would say that it would be absurdly fast if you didn't know that it was indeed Rachmaninoff himself playing.

[@marshallartz395]

Bob Kosovsky: You are absolutely right. This is the only recording of Wang’s I find impossible to listen to. Fortunately, she and Marc-André Hamelin played this Suite some years ago at the Santa Fe Music Festival, and that is a wonderful performance. The audio is on KZbin. I’m also a fan of the Ax/Bronfman CD with both Suites and the Symphonic Dances. Their version of Suite No. 2 is also on KZbin. 😎🎹
