[@tortysoft]

The shots of the orchestra watching in stunned amazement say it all. I hope to see this wonderful magician in person one day - at the Proms !

[@kentbailey9705]

The clarity and the way she brings out the melodic line is anazing.

[@charles.e.g.]

This piece is impossibly difficult. Just getting through it physically is a feat. But making actual music out of it is extraordinary. Thank you Yuja for your immense talent and musicality! ❤

[@mustikaraka]

Everyone can play this piece easily

[@ThucMai13]

@@mustikaraka hahaaa you are so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ericastier1646]

i heard this piece countless times but it is the first time the pianist dynamics are not dropping before the coda. Her handshake can probably crush anybody.

[@charles.e.g.]

@@ericastier1646I agree completely. I played this piece many years ago, and one of the trickiest things is to properly modulate the dynamic levels. You are playing so many notes so rapidly that it is so easy to fall into that trap of everything just sounding loud and messy. I think that this is why I love Yuja’s performance so much. Despite all of the technical difficulties, she is still able to shape each phrase beautifully. And her voicing is so on point that she helps guide the listener through the music, emphasizing and highlighting the most important thematic material at any given time.

[@ericastier1646]

@@charles.e.g. I agree fully. I love her pianism, she can do musical things that are beyond the limit of what is possible at the world class level that other pros cannot. And that would already make me admire her but i also love her, her mood, he gorgeous dressing style choice of fabric and dress colors and her convivial mood. I like her not giving a sh but still being generous smiling naturally and no nerves issue at all.

[@sirakjames5374]

the guy at 2:35 is thinking "I got the best seat in the house"

That's Noah Bendix-Balgley, the concertmaster of the Berlin Phil. No slouch himself!

[@flooo5071]

I do not know how she can repeat notes with same fingers that fast....

[@steveyeung4764]

best interpretation of this piece i've ever seen, even surpass agerich and horowitz imho. the pace, accuracy and dynamism are spectacular!

[@cam-h5263]

I couldn’t agree more !

[@q45ij54q]

No way. Technically Yuja is as good, but musically it's terrible. She consistently loses the line and just bangs out notes. So many incorrectly played chords. I don't know how anyone can listen to Argerich play this and think this is anywhere in the same class.

[@medicinaedoctor6749]

​@@q45ij54qidiot! Own interpretation ey. Such a bummer!

[@jamesrobert4106]

I didn't think it could be said...BUT I AGREE 😮

fingers with a human attached

[@raymondtakacs1325]

Espresso was really kicking in when Sergei Prokofiev wrote the 2:00 mark. Yuja’s performances are always exemplary

[@HarryVerey]

Absolutely astonishing technique and musicality. Great dress and videography too

[@ericastier1646]

The best rendition of this piece. It should be almost impossible anatomically to play like this, no even considering the perfect accuracy and incredible sustained forte dynamic in the middle of the piece. The developed physical power is massive, her tendons are steel and her arm and finger muscles hyper developped by now. I bet she can split thin timber with her fingers or crush a closed soda can.

[@miguswede-2557]

Staggeringly brilliant. What a force she is.

[@Erevos9]

What wouldn't I give, to be able to listen to this amazing piece, live...

[@jamesrobert4106]

I didn't think i would ever see this played better than by Martha Agerich 😮 Yuja is INCREDIBLE.

[@LiquidTurbo]

Truly amazing. My jaw. Is on the floor. How can anyone compose such a piece and then someone like Yuja play it so damn well?? Bravo!!

[@ericastier1646]

For the composing, such pieces are composed very slowly based on harmony one bar at a time. maybe 10 x slower. When the piece is all well a tempo is chosen. Don't think the composer composed this immediately at the tempo.

[@LiquidTurbo]

@@ericastier1646 i didn't say composer composed this tempo. All I did was praise the performer and composer for playing and composing this piece.

[@allenslaughter7957]

Absolutely LOVE HER!!

[@JahNawl]

Fncking amazing. Nicer video quality too - despite the watermark.

[@AndrewRudin]

Astonishing. (the dress also).

[@ljiljanastanic9076]

[@csongorhajna5702]

There is an old Hungarian saying: "You learn PROPER bagpipe from Hell." ("Aki dudás akar lenni, pokolra kell annak menni"). WHERE have you been, Yuja? 😃😀😃😀

[@junezydek1532]

I wonder what she is dialoguing to herself during the playing. Amazing skills.

[@david50665]

she's summoning up the spirits

[@DocBambs]

Glenn Gould used to sing along when he played… maybe that is what she’s doing!

[@Chocobollz]

@@david50665 Probably summoning all sorts of musical beings from another dimensions? 😁

[@dougthomson9052]

She “talks” to herself like that in many of her performances on KZbin…

[@ericastier1646]

the real reason is her brain has to fire massive amount of electric impulses to the finger and arm muscles. The energy is so high it is like draining a lithium battery in 2 minutes instead of 2 hours. To do that feat psychology plays a part and rhythmic talking is like self encouragement to support the production of electricity in the brain. It really is a physiologic need to play like this. The equivalent of shouting when doing athletic feat.

[@MichaelAChang]

What else can you say but "Wow"!

[@VEGANSAM]

My goose bumps...HAVE GOOSE BUMPS! WOWOWOW!!!

[@joelpeters7698]

A human being cannot do that. Proof that aliens are amongst us.

[@mv848]

She's been practicing since early childhood. She's been playing for 15+ years. A monkey would have learned.

Who else makes Prokofiev swing like Mrs. Wang?

Umm Charles Cocchia's. In fact Yuja's was favorite interpretation until I heard his.

[@ΒαγγεληςΘεολογιτης]

Any musisian can tell me what doing with her mouth?The melody?

[@yiteng-piano7738]

[@josephdirnfeld3593]

Not fair

[@johnpugh3348]

How good was that?!!

[@grigorisgrigoriou]

She has amazing technique, but fast is not always right; this needs a slightly slower tempo to let the tempo sink in.

[@we173]

La Toccata de Sergueï Prokofiev n'est pas une démo de spectacle. L'âme slave doit être présente.

[@michaelglennwilliams6278]

Can anyone read her lips, what she is saying along with her paying at times?

[@LiquidTurbo]

Involuntary actions. She’s not saying anything.

[@mv848]

"This is too easy..... should have picked a harder piece for the encore....."

[@ericastier1646]

it is motivational singing, a physiologic need to support her brain firing. This is not just an artistic performance it a full fledged physical athelticism feat as well.

[@gahermann]

Very good, but listen to Horowitz version - even better!

[@lightspeed174]

Are you kidding me, she's much better then Horowitz

[@Radugazon]

All tastes are OK in this world, but I think she reflects more the intention of Prokofiev : unstoppable energy.

[@Rascallucci]

No, is not.
