I agree that she is great, but so is Isata Kanneh-Mason.

Have you heard of Richter’s version?

What a beautiful sentiment to honor and appreciate this music.

Welcome!

Dont say you dont know music. If this touches you, you know music enough.

Amen. Any musician would be thrilled to have moved you & touched you as you describe. "Knowin" more enables you to augment & appreciate the music more, but music isn't to be analyzed: it's to be experienced, and it is the only form of art that can directly evoke feeling such as you describe.

Welcome to the world of Yuja Wang... Once captured we can never say goodbye.❤ ... Enjoy her Prokofiev too..

It looks like she's doing an expressive dance, it looks pretentious.

@@rancidblock5615, check out Lang Lang and you may need to re-define pretentious.

@@rancidblock5615lol calling something pretentious through an artists self expression is so soft

It's so beautiful deep dreamy and emotional .it takes you to a different place

Excellent comment and spot on.👌

The first time you were able and I didn’t have a problem with it I ww wwww I weeeeee weasel ap

Yes, it has had that effect on me since I was a teenager. Then at Bristol University when music students told me it was just slush I realised that if you don’t appreciate music it simply cannot be taught. As Louis Armstrong said: if you Gotta ask you’ll never know.

@@Mivoat yeah, I tear up and don't know why. Louis Armstrong had it right. But then a Belle Tire commercial came on two minutes in.??? I guess its all glimpses of the things we need to see. I'm good.

Yes, me too. It makes my heart ache.

Rachmaninoff was brilliant. I honestly think he heard music from Heaven and shared it with us. Heavenly; heart-touching; soul healing; majestical music 🎵🎶

Indeed. Well said. Rachmaninov has a way with all of us.

​@@Joe19354291¹¹¹23e2z

You said exactly what happens. She developed sufficient dexterity and the entity that possessed Rachmaninov it possesses her too and the entire audience. It is fed by the life energy of everyone present, generation after generation. It is slavery after all, very far from the freedom we would have if we lived the Truth that Jesus taught us. Passing pleasure vs eternal and happy life, the broad path vs the narrow path. Discernment is needed. 💖🇨🇱

@@boyanaskrbic What does that have to do with Yuja's performance and our marveling at it while being enriched by it?

@@arthurmclarty1 It's my response to the first comment, about how she seems to transform...So that it is known what is really happening in an event in which something catches the attention of everyone else. The more enraptured people are, the more energy they deliver. And nobody notices that is losing precious moments of his life that should be occupied in the true way, the one that restores freedom and life to humanity: Loving each other like Jesus taught us and commanded us. The discernment and wisdom that the Love of one for another gives, are necessary to awaken a humanity accustomed to living lethargically, without even imagining the greatness of their own potential. We better wake up to this true wonder. 💖🇨🇱

ikr

good observation skills! 😉💯❤

I’m a week ahead and asking myself the same question. Finding Yuja all started with me pulling into a parking lot and hearing Rhapsody in Blue on the radio. It’s rekindled my love for classical music.

And the body...

The pianist is cute sure. The music is uncomfortably terrible. You pay 80 bucks to get angry?

@@ripvanwinkle1819lol what?

@@ripvanwinkle1819what is bro saying.

Bit off topic but have you seen this babe’s abs? She could hold a plank for an hour and, for all I know, does. Daily.

Totally agree. Have listened since I was 5 and my father play the record at least once a week. Saludos.

Beautiful melody indeed.

Rodrigo, compared to chopsticks and Yankee doodle of course it's great.

@@ripvanwinkle1819 lol

I especially love the back story - as I recall it. That fairly young Rachmaninoff put his heart into his first symphony and it was very poorly received by the critics. A failure. He went into a depression of some kind. Someone got him associated with a psychiatrist/psychologist (talk therapy) who kept motivating him to begin his next piece. It was Piano Concerto #2 - and the entire piece reflects his journey out of those doldrums. A piece that speaks for all of humanity overcoming failure and turning loss into greatness. A song for all of us. I have heard this piece numerous times including quite a number at the symphony by various pianists. I even play a few pages of it on the piano - a wonderful feeling to experience - as though connected to Rachmaninoff through the hands, the piano and the feeling of the song Having said that, for me this performance by Wang, the conductor especially and the orchestra IS the best interpretation in my opinion. So many rich subtleties brought out.

Me tooooooooo❤

Who were the other females? And why restrict yourself to females?

A creation of artistic interpretation second to none when considering Yula Wang’s perfect and natural rendition of Rachmaninov’s no. 2 piano concerto. x

Already sent.

Ok for me splendid interprétation

The orchestra is equally good.

@@psandbergnz: Yes, the orchestra is tremendous here. And so well recorded. 😎🎹

MY FAVORITE PART!!! It makes me so emotional

You are so correct. The dark clouds lifted and this magnificent work was born. I do not feel that it was fully reflected on this performance, which was too focused on the technicalities. The conductor seemed more into the emotions. I feel that Anna Fedorova is one of the few people who has fully captured the the entire inner feelings of the composer.

Ouvir Rachmaninov dispensa qualquer tipo de terapia psicológica, principalmente pela manhã ao acordar !!!

And if memory serves correctly, he dedicated it to his psychotherapist.

@@drjdsjr and the psychotherapist played in the orchestra in the 1st performance.

why is that so cute awww 😭

Me too!

Your use of the word "incredible" is spot on as vocabulary goes. I cannot believe my eyes and ears...I will now toss a few words of my own into the mix: transcendental, sublime, and only the heavens know what...

Playing any fast pieces with precision, crisp notes and without any errors is what YJW is great at! She is probably the best pianist today the more I listen to her epic performances! She is so perfect every time in every performance!

@@georgiaguardian4696 Her hands/fingers are a blur, just like the hovering humming bird which flaps its wings in a hover so fast per second that a video cannot catch the movement unless the film is set to slow motion.

@@ajarnwordsmith628 Rac himself had a 12 key finger span and Yuja has about 8 so she’s playing super fast and accurate

Agree. I heard many versions of it, but Yuja's is among the best ones.

my favorite composer

I think Horowitz is listening somewhere in the universe...

@@rogerlephoque3661: And sadly, he never performed this concerto in public. 😎🎹

I have watched this video many time... So how does it bring a lump to my throat every time?... What sorcery is this?.. We are privileged that this magical lady plays for us.

Can I get an invite?

Oh, my! Life is much easier than that! And true happiness too 😉

Well, I have to confess - and I am not even a big Yuja Wang fan - that this particular performance with Gergiev is my favourite one, most appealing. And there are many, even the one by Rachmaninov himself. So there, I admit it.

I agree... RACHMANINOV was a real genius!

After Yunchan Lim, of course

Перевод на русский

shes him

I AGREE!

Гениальное исполнение. Каждая нотка прослушивается. Какие эмоции!!! Дирижер- гений. Юля -гений. Я много слушал это концерт в разных исполнениях. После Б. Березовского- она вторая. Лучше их нет.

Yess

@yujawang77533 dear yuja, my love for you is spiritual, the type that brightens my heart everything I see you perform. I hope I could see you when you come to San Francisco next time. With lots of ❤️ ❤️❤️

@@yujawang77533 I will be there for sure.
