Yulianna Avdeeva - Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition

Utterly stupendous...she has it all. A singularly unique talent... bravo

[@JohnSmith-vi5pz]

And Hélène Grimaud, I can never decide who is be favourite.

[@arthurenzo3075]

This is truly the ultimate level of pianistic complexity. Yuliana Avdeeva is definitively an "all in one" pianist. Outstanding. What an utterly and memorable performance.Bravo. Bravissimo!

[@chazinko]

Yulianna created a deeply affecting experience of this great work, making it so easy to be caught up in every moment.of this eloquent human drama. Brava!!

[@그러지마요네즈]

This is honestly… SO… GOOD………….

[@davidthompson3255]

The precision of a diamond-cutter. Every stroke delivered with clear intent and care. Truly conveys the feeling of encountering a series of powerful images.

[@arthurenzo3075]

The more often I listen to Yuliana Avdeeva´s performance the more speechless I become. This performance is so much better than all others in terms of clarity, virtuoso precision, deep musicality and the outstanding touch. In addition this is a live concert that no one has ever been so close to flawless played. 👋👋👋👋👋

[@glennsmith5149]

I have stage “nerves”. I don’t know how you manage to play so perfectly - all the time. You amaze me! Bravo.

OMG! This is worldclass 27:36 😊 Pure perfection! So clear and powerfull! Thanks a lot!

[@brunopiccinin]

31:01 she has such great control of volume, staccato, and pedals, her left-hand thumb touching that D# sounds heavenly. The best performance of this piece I've ever heard.

[@arthurenzo3075]

Heavently is the right expression for this remarkable and for me by far best rendition of this incredible piece of classical music.

[@mcpiano75]

A truly remarkable performance... Yulianna congratulations. God bless you.

The Sound. Good Lord the SOUND. Wow... And that glorious middle E flat in La grande porte... Clearly one of the best Pictures I've ever heard, live or studio.

[@marcblank5868]

I couldn't believe how she was fully penetrating into the music of Mussorgsky of Pictures while listening her recital at Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall February 2019. It was like a magic, the air of the concert made audience to give their heart to Avdeeva. I knew that she had have a distinctive artistry in her generation. I don't feel like comparing Avdeeva and other artists, but I have to say she is one of the purest and the most honest pianists that I have known so far. She always showed me a sort of essence of the intention of the composers and its music as well. Nowadays, it is hard to deliver the real significance to people because lately classical music has become very commercialised... Despite the fact that the popularisation of the classical music she has been making her genuine efforts to give shape her own deepest values that she seeks in the classical music over the years. In addition to her steadfast attitude towards music, I had been thinking that she will be suitable for her relatively the bigger pieces such as this music and Fantasie in C major, Wanderer, of Franz Schubert which she is playing these days. During the concert, I thought in deed I was correct in the end. She did paint on the piano on how she has been interpreting without exaggeration. I just thought it was so beautiful. I will never forget it... Hope Yulianna Avdeeva's projects goes well.

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

I totally agree! :-) There are several 'show people' nowadays with great technical ability. but not her depth of character and lack of ostentation of=r gimmicks.

This specutacular performance she plays with exquisite skill and breathtaking technique and splendid attire is beyond description , immeasurable , unfathomable , inspirational , graceful and comfortable to the ear and the mind Without Mussorgsky and his great performer like Yulianna , the classical music world would have been very lonely and insipid , the enjoyment and pleasures of the classical music would have been very less This masterpiece , especially 「 the Great Gate of Kiev 」 is a magnificent Requiem for Mussorgsky's late friend From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

[@jameshanson536]

First heard Yulianna Avdeeva playing the Overture to Tannhauser at a concert in Tokyo. It absolutely left me awestruck. The Liszt arrangement she played is insanely difficult. I wonder at what sacrifices she must have made to acquire such mastery of the Piano. Did she still play with dolls as a little girl? Did she have the usual sleepovers and parties of typical teens? Boyfriends etc.? What was her life like? At any rate, the world has been blessed by her gift and those like her. I feel a deep gratitude for Yulianna Avdeeva and others who attain such excellence. May she and they have a blessed life as they bless others with their talents.

[@pianoman551000]

I got that video bookmarked! What a truly mesmerizing performance and what exhaustion she may have felt at the end.

Bei allem Respekt, ich weiß wirklich nicht, wo ihr da die innere Ruhe fehlt. ich kenne alles Aufnahmen der großen Pianisten und keiner hat dieses extrem schwere Stück so perfekt und fehlerfrei gespielt, daß ich ihre Interpretation auch für die gelungenste halte, ist natürlich reine Geschmacksache.

Alice Sara Ott, Valentina Lisitsa and Yulianna Avdeeva all three gives exceptional performances of this piece, and I have heard many. I don't know, what is with this piece and women performing it, by the way. Many of the male soloists, who I have heard performing it, makes it sound a bit too dead, in my view, even very good pianists, who I otherwise do love. The three versions of those three great female pianists of our times are by the way very different, but all astonishing in their own right, and quite incredible, that we can listen to these concerts online for free these days.

И Лондонский симфонический оркестр под управлением В. Ашкенази в незапамятные времена (оркестровка В.Ашкенази, как я понимаю) ввел меня в столбняк. А теперь еще и Вы! )) Спасибо большое.
