Yuja Wang plays Rachmaninov, Concerto n° 2, with score

In spite of its passionate, not to say unbridled, romanticism, this work possesses a great formal richness. Yuja Wang's playing, of incomparable clarity, expresses all its passion but also reveals its rigorous structure.
I thank Peter Chen for being the first to publish the video of this concert. I only added the score.

YUJA WANG is the eighth wonder of the world! This can be seen and heard in her performance in this piano concerto. But everything she performs at a grand piano I perceive as something of a supernatural act; she is a godsend to the world.

[@arlenemortiz1756]

I agree with you.

[@angelc.gonzalez5058]

Yuja is the most complete young pianist I've heard. She's Wonderful!

Superb, delightful snd moving.

There is no living pianist in the world today that interprets Russian composers better than Yuja Wang. Thank you for this video Étienne!

Thank you for your comment. But I see that Eusebius and Florestan are unmasked!

[@barryutub1]

Just one of them! I’ll remain silent on the other!

[@timmellin2815]

I won't remain silent....it's Anna Fedorova. Fun to compare the two, in their individual interpretations. Anna can be understated, softer in overall nuance; whereas Ms. Wang can blow you away with various added cadenzas that seem effortless to her.

[@timmellin2815]

Oh, I thought you were comparing the 2 best lady pianists....Yuja & "I'll remain silent on the other." That's why I mentioned the other great player as Ms. Fedorova.

@@christopherczajasager9030 Dear Sir. Not for one second, but for ten seconds. It is quite true that my youtube channel is dedicated to Yuja Wang, and that I place it above the conductor and the orchestra. But I always indicate the name of the orchestra and the conductor in my videos. And you didn't see it. This is at least the tenth time this has happened to me, and it is extremely unpleasant to be reproached for something you did not do. I don't see what's so rude about my answer. It is rather me who can be hurt that people watch my videos with so little attention, and reproach me rather than thanking me for the huge work I do to add the score. Have a good listen anyway...
