Yuja Wang Tritsch-Tratsch (somewhat better sound)

[@shellyl650]

She is brilliant. I'm in awe of anyone who can play like this, and it's only a handful of people.

[@ukdavepianoman]

Her clarity, dexterity and accuracy at speed is extraordinary. More important than that is she has a natural and genuine feel for how she wants to play the music.

[@MissKissSakura]

Love the way shes not only working with her hands but with her whole body, shes preatty much putting everything on the pieano making it sound amazing ! >w

[@OHOHJOHNNY]

YUJA WANG plays clear notes, clear techniques, clear tune, and also plays w/ dynamic emotions. her effortless performance really shocks people. she's one of the kind! no wonder, for me Yuja is a legendary pianist. she's a perfection! Also she's beyond virtuoso level. gosh! God really blessed her w/ magnificent hands. so for those who accused her playing so fake, try to level yourself at her! and let's see! cause it's not just all about how she plays. it's about how people should respect!

The most amazing pianist for a very long time. The think I love about this girl is she has the look neaqrly always as if she is having a ball playing it. Look at her playing the 3rd movement of the Mendelson Piano Concerto, thgis needs real virtuoso playing. Yuja has almost a child like smile like humming along to her most favourite tune whilsy showing the highest level of virtuosity and musicality, truly amazing and lovely genuine person with it.

[@amihalov]

I love her very mutch ,Great piano playing to be ENJOYED

[@chrislong6999]

Yuja Wang will never be surpassed, as being the most brilliant pianist of the present, and , not because she can play fast, but the feeling she puts into every note played, the perfect way her emotions are expressed,- as she has said " I play as though it is me that has composed the music" rendering perfection in all her concerts. there are 24 conductors who marvel at her genius, as I have seen reported. Yuja you are number 1 and will hold that position for many years to come.!

[@busylifemeto]

Yuja is one of the top pianists of this century

[@drdellaman]

She is beyond a virtuoso, she is a genius, once in a generation talent. You watch other pianists play some of these difficult pieces and it looks like they are working, whereas with her it looks like she is playing. It looks rather effortless. Looking forward to seeing her in SF.

I understand your position perfectly; i would do the same for those musicians with whom i am admittedly "more familiar" with their lives & work. I should indeed give Miss Wang a chance, although, thus far, for some reason, i haven't been particularly "moved" by her musicality, albeit she has worked her whole life to achieve what she has...

Included among the definitions of "genius" are natural ability or talent, aptitude, faculty, endowment, predilection; penchant, knack, bent, flair, wizardry. Certainly she has these gifts. I suggest you watch her play the cadenza in the first movement of Prokofiev's 2nd piano concerto.

[@meredith218461]

@rockydalton You make a very true and pertinent statement. Tritsch - Tratsch is all very well as a witty throw away encore, rather like light peppermint after a satisfying main course. Yuga Wang is hugely gifted pianistically, however as you rightly point out I doubt at this early stage of career if she has the intellectual capacity to tackle late Beethoven or Schubert convincingly. By contrast her Chopin and Scriabin playing is very fine indeed. Certainly a name to watch.

[@05Svet11Ser]

Super !!!!

[@DihelsonMendonca]

Although some wrong notes, it´s very joy this interpretation, some of the best after Cziffra himself.

[@vettegaddia6234]

She plays this better than Cziffra. I check out his version already.

[@scrutinizer0136]

Vette gaddia In fact the playing of both of them is quite similar from the purely tech POV, at least when it comes to thhe most demanding places such as jumpings over half of the keyboard (where Cziffra is more precise and elegant). She may compensate with bit "faster" finger-work that is indicator not as much of a level of mastery as of agogics: where Cziffra plays emphasizing various nuances of his own improvisation, Yuja goes in a straightforward fashion (that is common nowadays). For this reason I prefer Cziffra with his Romantic approach.

[@vettegaddia6234]

Ilja Shebalin Thank you for your opinion. Cziffra is indeed a legend. Yuja is very impressive that she performs this and other transcriptions as an encore in many of her concerts. Including after the Prokofiev Concerto 2,3, The Rach 2,3, Tchaikovsky 1, Bartok2 and the Shostokovich 1. There are 5 different version of her doing this on YT alone. And have you heard her do the Cziffra's bubblebee? It is mind boggling.

[@DihelsonMendonca]

Thank God there is Cziffra to make it in order that other People can play. The oposite is not true. I'd like to know any compositions from them. Today we have a true musician capable of composing incredible transcriptions and his name is Marc Andre Hamelin

Healthy you have such an affinity for young male pianists, particularly Freddy Kempf. No wonder Yuja's play "disturbs you! Such is a wonderfully superficial fan-dom. Guess I prefer my "flash" in pianism rather than what I stare at... Because, really, one who can write: "I dream about being there...... while Freddy plays this etude just for me :) He is more beautiful than i can bear! " leaves consideration of the 'music' secondary to that of romantic fantasy... "flash" indeed! ;-]

[@nokhimchan7966]

Regarding to this video and the comments below it seems a bit hard to judge if the comments are true or not. Somehow, Yuja is playing quite "mechanically" in this video, while she had pay extra concentration on it which she seems to be not so familiar with the piece. Her another performance is much better. As also a piano "player", not literally a pianist, this piece is not *that* hard comparing to other Cziffra pieces while it really require extra concentration on octave skips. Concerning "racist" point of views, which partly true that somehow some Chinese instrumentalists are being trained up under mechanical learning process. However, in nowadays, this kind of atmosphere had improved a lot with much better learning atmosphere and opportunities to learn from maestros. Although I am not a Yuja fan, she does play emotionally in some other performances.

Yes...mere technical note spinning...impressive but not terribly musical... Yuja's choice to avoid that section adds to the musical cohesion and taste...
