Well this made me cry. This is the most beautiful of Chopin's Nocturnes in my opinion.

[@zeljkalacmanovic-margareti2299]

Tttribe1 Same feeling,she perforned it perfectly. But I also like Chopin's Nocturne op 48 in c-minor. Pitty she didn't perform it :(

[@johngransby209]

In my opinion, one of the best interpretations of the Nocturne I have heard. The Nocturne reminds me of contemplating the moon on a starry night. Don't you just love Chopin's last two chords in the final resolution ? Truly beautiful. JRG.

[@perrycheng6995]

Great performance. Emotional and yet controlled. Unlike most other versions, the mid-section has excitement without distorted rhythm. Expressive asynchrony was tastefully done.

[@handznet]

I absolutely love her interpretation. One of the best I have heard - and I have heard tons of them. Great power and control. I love her clean yet no too dry sound during the middle part.

[@NINOABSNABSN]

Every reading of Chopin that she does surprises me a lot. She puts her technique purely at the service of interpretation, sometimes she sacrifices an entire section so that the next reaches an audible shock in the listener. It is definitely something very special.

Pan Fryderyk Chopin jest dumą Polski! Cały naród jest z niego dumny! 🇵🇱

Piękno muzyki Fryderyka Chopina to fenomen graniczący z cudem.

[@trung.nguyen.t]

She created stark contrast between sections and the climax of the piece is so intense. I usually listen to this performance before playing the piece myself.

[@bernd9012]

i come back again and again for this fantastic performance. thanks so much for playing!

[@scottludwig3446]

Wow!! Stunning Performance! This is my favorite version of what is quite possibly my favorite Nocturne of all! I've had this on loop for so long... This will be my source reference for when I try to tackle this amazing composition from Chopin! Thanks for sharing your talent and being so brave to do this in front of all those people. Amazing.

[@annelysecombitsis7553]

2:35 WOW what a sound. She punctured my soul

[@caducarvalho9544]

That is the performance that made me fall in love with her and with this piece.

[@wiktornagorski3620]

With her? 😧 she got a husband though

[@danielabisenius9858]

Phenomenal touch on keys. Feather like but with the perfect weight. Congratulations!!!

[@7r5y9s1]

Chopin has music that is not of our civilization. Fillings, emotions , passion, love. Astonishing music. 👏

[@cambodennis]

Beautiful singing quality and nice balance between the high and low tones.

[@marctaras9455]

Excellent. Really enjoy this performance. Chopin would have loved it.

[@JVYSXN]

The BALLS to play this on a stage.

[@kristenk708]

Why?

[@kzelmer]

@@kristenk708 because although it is not a technically difficult piece per se, the jumps on the left hand are huge and prone to errors.

[@manuel-et4he]

Play any piece at these hall might be scary

Love this. Hers and Lisitsa’s are my favorite interpretations of this Nocturne.

[@DanielVieira-nf2ie]

Avdeeva, Avdeeva!!! Thank you! Bravo forever!

[@tylernotariano8368]

My god she’s beautiful

[@pubgplayer1720]

What a beautiful performance.

[@liceous]

she has excellent pedaling technique and an appreciation and perhaps preference for un-pedaled voicing - something that i believe comes only with age

[@harmonicapal]

♥️ My heart and my soul became one with Julianna's unbelievably amazing interpretation of this magical Nocturne of the ultimate Frédéric Chopin. Best wishes and greetings to Julianna.

[@michaeltierra6388]

Beautiful!! my favortie rendition by far.

[@themoroccanpianist8953]

she managed to express this gloomy, and sad atmosphere of the beginning! what a marvel!

[@themoroccanpianist8953]

I really love her Nocturne. It's like a fantasy world.

[@NINOABSNABSN]

Nocturne in C sharp minor, Op. 27 No. 1 "inside the author" - Considering that all inspiration from Chopin's creative spectrum comes from his Polish reminiscences, the poem begins as something like this: "There was a time when things were like this", in a in the second section he increases the intensity of these memories until he reaches a sort of euphoric Waltz, until the obscurantism of reality brings him more dense feelings. The poem ends in a tone of personal recovery.

[@harmonicapal]

Those few priceless moments between 3:10 and 3:15 !

[@zlauriault]

I love hers and Evgeny Kissin's interpretations.

[@yingma9604]

A very rich and deep interpretation. There is nothing sensational about Yulianna's person on the physical side, everything is in the music and her personality, it shows in her performance.

[@ershenlin1774]

She did not play the piano; she massage it. So goodddddddddddddddd!

The real massage is in 27/2 😉

[@TheChazz1225]

0:57 that low G in the left hand is supposed to be played a little later on in that section, but outside of that an amazing interpretation. I've still yet to perfect the left hand jumps in the middle section myself so this will provide me some inspiration to continue practising.

[@lolsup9817]

Maybe they added that for some tension and dissonance ? Pianists so that sometimes lol

@@maxgodtankspubg3089 what does rubato have to do with the low g

[@gatesurfer]

It’s a beautiful, colorful interpretation, very nice for a big concert hall, but could be a bit much in an intimate salon. It’s strange though, she hits a g in the bass at 1:03, instead of a c. on my edition it’s a c. Other than that, I like it very much.

[@danieltkach2330]

Wow this piece looks so hard, interpretation wise... beautiful version, if she hadn't been shaking it would have been pretty perfect. Her hands were shaking or is it just me or my video codec?

[@ilovemycatrussell9298]

The shaking could be a sign that she may have been really nervous.

[@nvidiaftw987]

It is most likely because she applies pressure to the single notes that are played longer/legato.

Yamaha CFIIIS?!

[@Thanasis4655]

3:47 Ouch...!

[@twiltot]

Frédéric Chopin that c# exists in some of the editions, for example in my edition which was edited by Jan Ekier

[@tuneerchakraborty5836]

That one octave lower note actually sounds better.

[@gabrielabator4975]

She plays it correctly

[@randykern1842]

It’s a difference of editing, nothing more

[@Someonece]

Those two C sharps are in every single recording I’ve ever heard... Not ouch

[@tataeristavi5917]

[@bobhairgrove]

Must the left hand really come before the right hand at the low C# climax in the next-to-last measure? Disappointing!

i'm sure chopin would enjoy this.
