[@notarbolz926]

Shostakovich's 2nd is often dismissed as a 'student concerto'. In my opinion, it is a great opportunity for world-class pianists like Yuja who don't have to 'prove themeselves' anymore, to make their own thing out of it. The audience definitely enjoyed it a lot!

[@michaelpatterson5811]

As always, Juja Wang makes you hear this extraordinary piece as if for the first time - she has an absolute technical command of it, which enables her to totally embrace it, and express vast inner spaces that are special to her; along with intimate details that you never heard before. There is no question of who is in the driving seat - but then that smile comes across her face as she interplays intimately with members of the orchestra, when appropriate. It was first performed by Dmitri Shostakovitch's son, Maxim, for whom it was a 19th birthday present. It's youthfull exuberance, coupled with desparately deep yearnings in the Andante movement, made it a perfect choice for Carnegie Hall's 'rebirth' after the musical devastion of covid . . . . .

For example Islamey (Pogorelich) or Chopin 4th Ballade (Yundi Li). The Ballade incident was really bad. They completely killed the mood. Maybe some of them try to revolutionize classical concert etiquette. But I think, most people don't know the pieces and it's human to show when you're excited. Its the performers responsibility to signalize them to shut up; They should not show any indication whatsoever that the performance has ended until it really ended.

But here in Buenos Aires, where I live, I've seen that great and very famous figures like Yuja Wang tend to attract audiences that are not normally concert goers. When I attend concerts of not so well known artists, I see that concert etiquette is usually observed, but things are different when big names are on the stage. I attended Yuja Wang's concert at Teatro Colón a few years ago and people clapped all the time. The same happened with Jonas Kaufmann, he had to finish some works in the middle of hysterical clapping. Anyway, I have also observed that things have changed in the last decades. When I was a teenager in the 70s, nobody would clap between movements.

Und auch Petrenkos jüngstes Philharmoniker-Programm fügt sich in dieser Hinsicht nahtlos ein. Es bewegt sich ausschließlich in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Prokofieffs Klavierkonzert Nr. 3 ist dabei ganz klar die Haupt­attraktion dieses Abends. Und dies vor allem, weil die Chinesin Yuja Wang in die Tasten greift. Eine Pianistin, halb Zirkuspferd, halb Maschine. Mit reißerischen Rekordtempi in den Außensätzen und gnadenlos präzisen Akkordattacken. Wer schon immer vermutet hatte, dass das Klavier ein Schlagzeug ist, wird sich durch Yuja Wang bestätigt fühlen. Umso nobler und duftiger Paul Dukas' Ballettmusik "La Péri" zuvor - eine Rarität von hohem kompositorischen Rang, die an Ravel erinnert. Eine ist es Freude hier, wie Petrenko die Philharmoniker atmen und genießen lässt. Viel Zug und Druck dagegen bei Franz Schmidts Vierter Sinfonie, der zweiten Rarität des Abends. Ein Werk aus dem Jahre 1933, das sich allerdings eher nach 1860 anhört - inklusive spätromantischem Trauerflor und gewichtigen Bandwurm-Kantilenen. ( Felix Stephan )

Shostakovich’s Second Piano Concerto was a much better choice for a celebratory program than the originally announce Rachmaninov concerto. Unfortunately, this performance suffered from balance issues. At least from my seat, it was often difficult to hear Yuja Wang over the orchestra, especially in the first movement, all the more frustrating because her ferociously intelligent musicality was on full display when she could be heard. The first three thematic statements from the piano were so individually shaped they could have been coming from three different instruments. The playful transition from the lush second movement to the jocular third was a delight, as was Wang’s take-no-prisoners approach to the 7/8 sections of the final movement.

Brilliant presentation! Unfortunately ruined by ads . . .

[@michelprezman51]

The best version is by the composer himself. So natural, and poetic.

[@michelprezman51]

Schostakovitch version is really the best. Why? Because " elle est habitée " it's not the case for the others.

[@sofiaspiano7892]

Why is everyone commenting on her clothing? She can wear what she wants. Besides it's a concert not a fashion show so it doesn't matter what she wears It shouldn't affect the performance

[@patt335]

She’s beautiful.

[@ivanosrin2126]

Wonderful performance - pity about the audio

[@DaubigneyJacqueline]

Je suis toujours étonnée par la rareté des commentaires en français! Où sont-ils les mélomanes français, aux abonnés absents???

[@amanoutetue-miche6591]

Non non, moi je suis là 😃 J'adore Yuja Wang et j'ai même la méga Big luck d'aller la voir à Paris en janvier 2024... et au 1er rang s'il vous plaît ! Concernant les commentaires, je ne vais pas commencer à en écrire un à chaque vidéo de Yuja que je regarde, sinon je vais y passer mes journées 😅 Cette femme est juste... je n'ai pas de mots assez forts pour la qualifier 😍😍😍

Berlin Berliner Morgenpost Kultur >Bei Yuja Wang wird das Klavier zum Schlagzeug< Kirill Petrenko dirigiert die Berliner Philharmoniker 15.04.2018, 03:00 Uhr Felix Stephan Top-Events in Berlin ... Und auch Petrenkos jüngstes Philharmoniker-Programm fügt sich in dieser Hinsicht nahtlos ein. Es bewegt sich ausschließlich in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Prokofieffs Klavierkonzert Nr. 3 ist dabei ganz klar die Haupt­attraktion dieses Abends. Und dies vor allem, weil die Chinesin Yuja Wang in die Tasten greift. Eine Pianistin, halb Zirkuspferd, halb Maschine. Mit reißerischen Rekordtempi in den Außensätzen und gnadenlos präzisen Akkordattacken. Wer schon immer vermutet hatte, dass das Klavier ein Schlagzeug ist, wird sich durch Yuja Wang bestätigt fühlen. Umso nobler und duftiger Paul Dukas' Ballettmusik "La Péri" zuvor - eine Rarität von hohem kompositorischen Rang, die an Ravel erinnert. Eine ist es Freude hier, wie Petrenko die Philharmoniker atmen und genießen lässt. Viel Zug und Druck dagegen bei Franz Schmidts Vierter Sinfonie, der zweiten Rarität des Abends. Ein Werk aus dem Jahre 1933, das sich allerdings eher nach 1860 anhört - inklusive spätromantischem Trauerflor und gewichtigen Bandwurm-Kantilenen. ( Felix Stephan )

Yuja is a godess

The Terror closed Carnegie Hall for 19 months but now courage has returned, at least theoretically. For beauty to exist, it seems a small token gesture of courage needs be made.

[@PunctusContraPunctum_]

Hey Yuja! Please learn Moszkowsky’s second concerto. Every single person will love you even more.

[@WINGNUT307]

A great piece. I think the piano needed turning up a bit. As a kid, my dad had this on a record with Andre Previn. I can't remember but I thought it was him playing (ie not conducting), but I may be wrong. I'm 70 now! Edit: Ah, did some googling. Andre Previn was playing the piano for No 1 but Leonard Bernstein played No 2.

I was looking for this comment! So good!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

It is almost a little bit funny to see all comments on this. Yes, we fight, we fight with words, our weapons, we fight because of the so called troll that has managed to enter our Parthenon. I will say like Martin Luther said long ago: I lift my hat and go further. Greetings from Sweden. By the way: Great music!

[@mariodisarli1022]

@bloodgrss Dear "blöd grss"! Do you think that the greatest composers of our planet created the greatest works with the aim of Yuya Wang making millions using vulgarity?

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Yes here is the so called troll, and shall we not pity him a little bit? I think so.

[@bloodgrss]

@@mariodisarli1022 Dear Mario/Georges/Algerian sexist troll. What did I tell you about laying off the whiskey? You just become more vulgar and ignorant....

[@mariodisarli1022]

@@bloodgrss The very word "classical music" is of great importance. Classical music is the result of the development of human society. It is a diamond that our civilization will always be proud of. There is no need to trivialize this diamond with bare feet (Alice Sarah Ott), showing breasts (Khatia Buniatishvili) or half-naked body (Yuja Wang). Leave classical music alone! Find other entertainment that suits your intelligence. This will be your greatest contribution to human life!

This concerto was dedicated to Maxim Shostakovich, Dmitri's son.

Anybody else thinking of how a toy soldier fell in love with a ballerina and fought a jack in the box when they hear this? Or is that just me?

[@Mattcai2004]

It's such a pity that this piece is not in the public domain.

[@ezyrod]

why not applaud between the movements1 if a pianist is particularly ON like Ms WANG obviously is, go for it.1

[@marshallartz395]

This upload is seriously defective. The sound is pulsing back and forth from the left channel to the right. It is unlistenable. New York’s classical music radio station WQXR has the concert on its website. The sound is perfect, but there is no picture.

[@JanosGereben]

Not at my end.

[@marshallartz395]

@@JanosGereben: I noticed the audio problem right away and confirmed it by wearing headphones (which is how I usually listen). Try listening to the 2nd Mvt. with headphones. The audio problems are blatant and can literally make you seasick. Fortunately it’s possible to at least _hear_ the concert with correct audio at radio station WQXR’s website. If you also want to _watch_ the concert, it looks like you still have to pay for a “digital ticket” 🎟 at the Philadelphia Orchestra‘a website. 😎🎹

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Funny! I have no problems in my Sennheiser headphones.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

But now, listening closer, for example the second movement, I can also hear the problems. But Im long from seasick...
