Yuja Wang performer J.Brahms (compilation)

[@susanhawkins3890]

Such talent and so much hard work has made you "one of a kind"...please never "burn out". We need you to keep inspiring us with your true love of this sublime music.

La transcendance de Brahms par Wang , qui va jusqu'à ressusciter Gautier, que j' avais cru mourant sur scène ( Eli Eli, lama samactani )

[@smb123211]

Brahms was such a genius - chorus, organ, symphony, piano, duets, trios, quartets, quintets, all instruments...just incredible considering the caliber of each work. The Paganin was simply incredible - the lightness and sureness of every note! the fabulous fugue / Allegro of the violin concerto was a tour de force. It was all so good and in the "old grand" style.

[@raoultak]

What is remarkable: she is so young but has a huge repertoire, with bloody difficult pieces.

[@Desireyso58]

My favorite composer Brahms, and My Lady YUJA WANG in another flawless rendition!!!

[@philipkuttner7945]

Although I judge musicians solely by what they sound like, it is beautiful to see the deep love for the music in her face.

[@catherinejones9396]

A brilliant sampler of the phenomenal pianist Yuja. She plays Brahms as very few women are able or choose to, with incredible power and respect. A terrific video thank you.

[@michaelschefold3299]

Undeniable the greatest pianist alive. Not alone her technique rises her above other pianists, also her deep musical insight, her profound musicality and her personality makes her an uncompearable artist. From Scarlatti to Psathas or Liebermann she always has the right interpretation for each composer. Her Hammerklavier was a landmark since Liszt and Busoni and her work as pianist/conductor with Beethoven1 and 2 showed how to play this often underrated pieces. At the age of 31 she had played each important piano- concerto including Prokofiev2, Bartók2 or Ravel's left hand concerto many other famous pianists never played. She was Artist of the Year 2017 and next year there will be the premiere of a new piano concerto John Adams writes for her. I was so lucky to hear and see her a dozen times live in concert and to talk to her several times. I never met a more honest, generous and likeable artist. Really a great human being.

[@cinemabon]

I would also add that her ability to improvise is unique because most pianists require a sheet music and she can improvise on the spot in a way that I've never seen with any other pianist.

[@webstergilessmith6947]

@@cinemabon Yeah, well I would LOVE to see her do that! I do not believe it. She is just yet another Asian robot/automaton classical musician. Nothing great about her AT ALL!

[@cinemabon]

@@webstergilessmith6947 I'm not one to cast aspersions on people but I really don't care for your comment. Take your negative attitude to some other location and spill your vitriol on somebody else. Yuja is a deeply caring woman whose talent eclipses all of us.

[@Che.Sem1]

She is in the overall package a truly valuable exceptional artist, fully agreed. However, the view of the "wider, decisive field" naturally diminishes, if one is too stunned by someone. Attributes such as "undeniable the greatest" etc. remain self explanatory subjective and sure not "unadulterated objective" statements, which must therefore include further, particularly necessary means of expression, playing styles. So, everyone needs to expand their view and listening field to get closer to the truth. Thus, interpretations (size of repertoire is also never a further benchmark) of other, so great and proven musically more mature artists, of course also by living ones, are certainly even more remarkable. Additionally it remains a matter of taste forever. Therefore, there's never a "best" or "greatest" interpreter.

[@glenngouldification]

“Her Hammerklavier was a landmark since Liszt and Busoni” Huh, I don’t get this. We don’t know what the Liszt and Busoni playing of the Hammerklavier was like since they never recorded it. For my money I would take Serkin, Perahia, Arrau, Brendel,Richter, Giles, Hungerford,Sokolov and more recently the amazing Paul Lewis recordings of the Hammerklavier way above that of Ms. Wang. She does not bring to this work the deep probing space and musicality that these other artists do. The commercialization of classical music has resulted in over the top marketing and branding of certain performers for maximum profit. This has been to the detriment of the many fine musicians who exist outside these marketing channels !

[@garyjohnson1466]

Very nice compilations, alway a beautiful experience listening to such accomplished musicians, especially Ms Yuja Wang…

[@rattywoof5259]

The 4-handed arrangements of the Hungarian Dances are reasonably playable by competent amateur pianists, but when I look at the pages of the solo versions my blood runs cold!

[@peterbrenton410]

[@rattywoof5259]

The Hungarian Dances are just about playable for ordinary mortals in their piano duet form - in the revised solo edition Brahms produced they're bloody near impossible!

[@celestechin3279]

I thought Lang Lang was great, Yuja Wang is even better. She has to be on the very top of all the great pianists.

[@DorianLS]

Yes, I much prefer listening to (and for that matter, watching) Yuja.

[@watutman]

Maybe if you compare her to only Lang Lang. But she is hardly the top pianist! Not even the top 50.

[@watutman]

Do you seriously consider Yuja a better pianist than Richter, Earl Wild, Horowitz, Rubinstein, Gilels, Kissin, Ashkenazy, Ax, Perahia, Gould etc?

[@Paroles_et_Musique]

@@watutman Yuja Wang is a very solid pianist, with fantastic memory, great control and technique. Out of that there is no much musicality, sound quality or inspiration, she is average compared to great names of the past and present.

[@timothybolshaw]

Yuja, for me, is the top pianist performing today (with Kissin a close second). However, trying to rank the absolute greatest pianists is impossible. They differ so much. It comes down to personal preference.

[@leighclark5257]

Absolutely the greatest living pianist, perhaps the greatest who has ever lived and played publicly (hard to know with certainty as we can't hear Liszt and judge the only other serious contender). Not only is she a nonpareil soloist but she plays flawlessly and triumphantly with other individual musicians, with chamber ensembles, and with the leading orchestras of the world. Every time she plays a piece it's as if you've never heard any other pianist play it before. I'm still waiting for a solo performance in Los Angeles. She does these frequently in New York, but never in LA, so far, although she could sell out Disney Hall for weeks on end, no matter what pieces she decided to play.

[@glenngouldification]

Leigh Clark Sorry, way down the list after Perahia, Pollini, Schiff, Sokolov, Pletnev, Zimmerman, Goode, Argerich, Hamelin, Douglas, Hewitt, Osborne, Kissin, Freire, Hough and a few others. Technically secure, musically undeveloped but time will tell !

[@webstergilessmith6947]

[@leighclark5257]

@@glenngouldification Schiff and the others are very good, but not half as good as she is. Hard to know what "musically undeveloped" means as opposed to "technically secure," but they sound like very impressive descriptive terminology.

[@glenngouldification]

Leigh Clark This is a partial list of living pianists.To say she is better than deceased pianists is totally misinformed ! To say she is better than Horowitz, Rubinstein, Arrau, Serkin, Godowsky, Schnabel, Lipatti, Giles, Bachauer, Busoni, Lhevine, Moisewitch, Backhaus, Richter, etc ....etc is absurd. Rachmaninov is perhaps the greatest of all. Listen to Clara Haskell playing Mozart ! I would not give up one of her recordings for all the hype, short dresses, bubbly personality and technical display of Ms. Wang. You might consider doing some research and listening to the many great living and deceased pianists before you make ridiculous pronouncements ! Liszt the only serious contender ? YIKES !

[@leighclark5257]

@@glenngouldification Interesting, but this is mostly lots of charges of absurdity, without substantiation, and a truckload of misogyny, as always with this pianist, regarding clothing and personality. You might benefit from listening to her rather than railing against her (rather ridiculous in itself, when you think about it).

BOTH have the sheet music before them, silly ! Take a close look at the video.

[@LaurentPingaultLyon]

Wrong, both have the sheet. It's a rule in chamber music they always have the sheet because they are focus to stay in same tempo by breathing together, so it's more challenging than to play alone

[@anne-mariedubois5316]

The Paganini Variations are very interesting for a recitalist like me. Please tell me who composed those ones. I have played the Brahms ones when I was 16 (first book only, though). Thanks in advance !

Because she is just ANOTHER Asian automaton, just like Lang Lang. AMERICA for AMERICAN pianists! No American wants to go to Bejing to study piano. Interesting how both she and Lang Lang studied with Gary Graffman. Her star is on the rise but she will fade and dwindle soon enough. Will never buy a recording of her. Jejune, derivative, and recherche are her performances/interpretations. She plays like a robot and sounds like one. I don't give a F$#% how fast she plays....
