Carl Maria von Weber - Grand Duo Concertant for Clarinet and Piano Op.48 Johannes Brahms - Clarinet Sonata in E-flat Major Op.120 No.2 Hungarian Dances WoO1 Nos.1,13,21
Yuja Wang : may be the best solo, ensemble, concerto, and accompanist player in recorded history. The breadth of her memorized repertoire is beyond comprehension.
And you have no idea what other pianists have in terms of repertoire, Ms. Wang always plays the same thing, Rachmaninoff. Shostakovich, Prokofiev and so on.
actually, pianists immersed in European tradition like Trifonov, etc. has far wider repertoire, it's in their training process. The fact that she is doing chamber repertoire just shows that she runs out of major repertoire to for sustainable recital career, which kinda suggests that she might be on the same track of Argerich, that is avoiding the solo recital, which, of course, is far challenging and inhumane for pianists who also want good life instead of "no life", it's understandable, especially if in your early years your teacher hasn't widened your solo repertoire to help you go through this sudden catapult of fame in early stage of your solo career.
@@lockjiang Rubbish. Just visit her archive site and you'll find her recital schedule and repertoire history are staggering, especially for a pianist only in her mid 30s.

I remember hearing my dad play the Weber when I was a kid. Sadly, he passed away just a few weeks ago, at the ripe age of 95. He was still playing. Have a kind thought for him.
To read the comments about 'projection' of the clarinet etc. is amusing, given the compression involved in internet transmission of the video, and the miking and recording artefacts introduced by making the recording. Finding fault with such a superb, freely-available, transcendent piece of video just shows why humanity is in such a mess.
Merveilleuse complicité entre ses deux très grands solistes à la technique éclatante. Leur audace maîtrisée, leur humour et leur poésie pure éclatent dans les danses hongroises de Brahms
She is wonderful piano accompanist: she plays soft when soloist is playing his SOLO part, and when soloist is playing quiet part, she play her part following the composer's music score. Piano is maturely louder than wing instrument.
IMPOSSIBLE. These two artists play so furiously fast and so intimately tuned, they create music that seems only to come from a single organism! Stunning.
Ho ascoltato vari pezzi musicali che sono stati suonati al Festival Tsinandali da Yuja Wang e Martin Fröst, che in questa occasione, hanno realizzato un duo particolare sprigionando incredibile passionalita' e in alcuni pezzi, una magistralita' esecutiva sorprendente, dimostrando un perfetto sincronismo armonico. Aggiungo un bravo allo stilista di Yuja Wang, che le crea abiti molto ammirati, che per chi li indossa inducono a grande respiro e fiato corto a chi li vede indossati ; anche questa è Arte.
Both Ms. Wang and Mr. Frost find the musculature of the music and thereby rediscover the originality of their respective instruments. Makes me sigh in relief and gently ponder the ascendancy of mature, yet athletic showmanship. Two youthful and dashing instrumentalist! We are going to continue to be gifted with much fantastic music to come...thank God!
I have always admired the originality of the Swedish clarinet school, when the sound is directed not into the hall, but into the performer’s crotch area. This method remarkably enhances the sound and creates unique overtones. #^.^#
I love Martin Frösts playing...Unfortunately the last experiences listening live to him play were rather disappointing. Regardless if he plays with orchestra or piano, his tone is not anymore the nice big sound it use to be like in the times he was playing Buffet Tosca and before. 20 years ago, when I first heard him play live it was impressive, last two years I was quite unhappy to have listened live. In Frankfurt (HR Orchestra) the recording of the Debussy Rhapsody was nicely mastered by the sound magicians (technicians), the live performance was not as enjoyable... Yuya Wang is amazing! I love it how they play together the Brahms Sonata!
He plays too forlorn soft, like background music to the piano. In duos, Wang doesn't play like a subservient accompanist, but more like a star pianist. She plays spiritedly while he sounds in a drowsy state of mind. Nevertheless, I enjoyed their combo playing, even though I'm not familiar with those pieces. Yuja's playing, as always, made things interesting.
Well she listens to Eminem... But I believe her crisp rhythmic sense is a result of her early years of training under the watchful eyes (actually ears) of her percussionist father. Her father, Yuja said, "was a Nazi about me playing absolutely clean note wise and tempo wise."
I like her dress but I think the color was not that great...but her playing is always amazing...some say the way she dresses should make no difference but I believe it does to me anyways

As someone else observed, when Yujia is having a bad hair day, her playing is above even her usual high levels. These two really perform well together!
Clarinet is wind instrument played with musician's mouth-breath-lungs, but piano is played by musician's hands and foot. So, do not expect clarinet sound output by the musician's mouth to be loud compare to the piano sound output by the pianist. I think the two musician's are playing their parts of the music as written. So, I do appreciate their duo harmony and beauty - no complaint with Yuja or Martin of their respective playing their instruments' sound volumn.
Lang Lang would emote so much he would push her off the bench, even if she were sitting on a different one. He probably envies her being to dress as she wants, instead of trying to please certain critical men. No names mentioned.
D'accord avec vous, mais me semble-t-il, il aurait simplement suffi de baisser au premier cran le couvercle du piano... Merveilleuse interprétation... Dominique
I like Yuja Wangs playing, but sometimes she is not that easy to like with her spectacular dresses. This is such a time when I really hesitate. When will she grow up?
Ese concierto quw toco Jaja Wang mas bien es un desconcierto. Que cosa tan horrible, eso es la antítesis de la melodia...suena a algo desafiando..Dios a quien puede gustarle eso!!!!
Why is she playing full stick? Why is she playing so loudly in any case? Why is he standing over there? You’d think they would know better. It’s just unmusical.
Yuja is very talented, even a genius. No question about it. So was Liberace, I guess. But, I doubt she understands what "classical" means to some (mostly senior?) people. It is a whole package including appearance - if on stage. What I hear and what I see are conflicting. The distraction robs the pleasure of watching a "classical" performance. Sooner or later, I will stop watching her performance, which constantly reminds me of a classical pianist turned into a piano playing clown in Las Vegas. Her talent deserves better packaging. The same thought applies to many corrupted opera performances these days.
It’s not distracting if you actually listen to the music she’s playing. It is actually refreshing. She wears the clothes of her generation. Not Brahms. If she walked out in a petticoat , that would be distracting .
I don't think that's fair.. God knows why he's standing behind her..especially with his erratic tempo changing and style of playing i can only imagine he's very difficult to accompany..especially in this layout:-/
Everyone knows the film "An Immoral Offer" with Robert Redford. and Demi Moore. Let's make Miss Wang an offer: Her fans raise $1 million via crowd-funding. If Ms Wang plays the piano naked at Carnegie Hall, she gets $1 million, - tax free. I think she'd do it. ist etwas exhibitionistisch, sie liebt das Geld und sie liebt die Aufmerksamkeit des Publikums. She's a bit of an exhibitionist, she loves the money and she loves the attention of the audience.
Your comment shows that you have impure mind/heart for listening to this beautiful classical music. You should be quite to be alone with your impure mind/heart that's no good to share with and really offensive to pure music lovers.
@@HuaLai-fd3lr Your comment shows that you cannot think clearly. It is not me, the Chinese woman who insults music lovers because she uses classical music to celebrate herself and her half-naked body. That you can't see that! The sexiness of the pianist has clouded your mind!
Ta niepokorna pani niedługo wyjdzie na estradę w samych majtkach. Może myśli, że występuje w musicalu albo kabarecie. Kłaniać by się też mogła nauczyć.
Her nice legs has nothing with this music to do. Is she aware that they only disturbes our experience of this music? (Yes, I am a little bit angry now, you are right.)
It's astounding to come across comments like this. Think how lucky we are that computers and RU-vid were invented and we can listen to prodigious talent any time we like. Nobody is forcing you to watch any particular performance. Given the time of year, you can count yourself as the Scrooge of Classical Christmas. Please hide yourself in a cave until you can think of something uplifting to share.
