Magnifique. Et dire, que la première écriture de cette œuvre magistrale du compositeur débuta et fut interprétée (sauf erreur*) peu avant l'annonce de la première guerre mondiale de 1914-1918. Soit en 1913*. C'est un travail de composition presque visionnaire. Tandis, que la présente écoute, dans cette vidéo, de la réécriture, par Prokofiev, de l'œuvre, détruite dans un incendie*, reste postérieure à cet événement historique funeste. Non sans être annonciatrice de la seconde des guerres mondiales. Son final ramenant une paix victorieuse et brillante. Ainsi, que la fin des hostilités musicales. C'est touchant de voir des musiciens s'exprimer dans cette musique sensible, complexe et raffinée à la fois. Merci pour cette prestation de belle qualité. Bravo aux musiciens. L'exercice est très réussi. Merci ! Titi :)
I searched this interpretation for like 2 weeks until i found it in Berlin digital concert hall. Luckily someone uploaded it to youtube. Its what id consider the best interpretation of prokofiend second conerto. Yuja is amazing there.
What a glorious performance of this Masterpiece! Thanks a million for bring this recording back after it's disappeared some time ago. It would be a crime not letting the world to continuously enjoy this supreme performance by Yuja the piano Goddess, the one and only, and the marvellous Berliner and Paavo Järvi. Brilliant in every way, simply the best!
Unfortunately, the tutti entrance after the Cadenza was too loud and covered the piano notes. A pity, because Miss Wang's rendition, though a little too fast (in my humble opinion), was remarkable.
I feel her interpretation is also remarkable, but I feel the orchestra is meant to be stupidly loud in that bit, as its meant to sound apocalyptic (I think).
The orchestra is intended to "drown" her (in her words) at the end of the cadenza. This is my favorite version of the piece - devastating first cadenza. I'm glad it's back, the other link I had stopped working.
No, i just like this at it gives the Power requested for this unsurpased Interpretation, when after this "inhuman" brillant solo part the Orchester emphasises entrance. Simply fantastic❤
Absolutely not. That is what blew me away the first time I heard this piece. The piano gets the false climax and then the orchestra instills the fear of death into the audience with an apocalyptic wall of sound. Totally on brand for Prokofiev.
An absolutely moving interpretation of this concerto, certainly one of the most important pieces in the entire history of music. This work requires not only exceptional technical mastery, but also an understanding of the message Prokofiev wanted to convey. Yuna Wang's interpretation is absolutely fabulous, transporting us all into Prokofiev's celestial universe. Her technique, phrasing and conception of the work are perfect, and thanks to her masterly performance, we can enjoy a moment of listening that brings us closer to God.
It has happened. I am in love. The first movement is beyond. Extraordinary and completely unexpected. I love Rachmaninov and Scriabin but this is outside of their convention. Wonderful.
Devastating beuaty !!! It is unbelievabel that such a event can take place - I would have been shaken to my very bones had I been there. The composer the pianis ( She is astonishing in her presense ! t the conductor the orchestra ! Wouw!
