Yuja Wang - Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 8, 1. Andante dolce (Live at Philharmonie, Berlin / 2018) 

Exactly!

Definitely would not call this piece approachable

I'd like to see those dresses on the floor

Talented young woman ♥️🐲💋⚘

Yuja Wang - a product of Chinese education. The goal of this education is the indispensable achievement of the highest results! High results bring a lot of money! This principle works always and everywhere! Yuya Vang is making money! Money for yourself and a huge gang of businessmen who use it as a money making machine! In addition to the piano keyboard, she did not see anything! She has no clue about European culture that gave rise to classical music! The result is a lot of money and questionable interpretations! Her experiments with clothes (on the verge of a strip club) serve that purpose - making money! Her audience ?! Her audience is looking forward to when Yuya will undress completely! It is very sad when the culture falls under the influence of businessmen whose main goal is MONEY !!!

Great clown!!! The New York Times Review: Yuja Wang, Trying Comedy, Shows How Funny Virtuosity Can Be The pianist Yuja Wang took a break from her typical concerts for a no-less-virtuosic comedy show at Zankel Hall on Monday.CreditMichelle V. Agins/The New York Times By Joshua Barone Feb. 12, 2019 In all seriousness: What can’t Yuja Wang do? This star pianist has built her reputation on breathtaking mastery of the standard repertory, like the chamber works she played last Wednesday with the violinist Leonidas Kavakos at Carnegie Hall. Or Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto, which she’ll do with the Boston Symphony Orchestra later this week. But in between those two dates, she stopped by Carnegie’s Zankel Hall on Monday for something entirely different: a comedy show. One with music, of course. And, as always, she was radiant in Rachmaninoff and Lutoslawski. But there was - more. She rapped! She sang and danced through a “West Side Story” medley! She did one-legged, upside-down yoga on a piano bench! And along the way, she never lost an ounce of virtuosity.

@Konstantin Ridaya Yuja Wang??? Schickimicki - Klassik!!! < Schickeria> "Die Schickeria (von Italienisch sciccheria = Schick, Eleganz und jidd./jüd.-dt. „schickern“ = „trinken, sich betrinken“; auch Chiqueria oder Chikeria von frz. chic = schick) ist eine ursprünglich spöttische Bezeichnung für das Szenepublikum, dessen Party-Eskapaden durch den Boulevardjournalismus der breiten Öffentlichkeit zugetragen werden. Synonym dazu ist der Begriff Schickimicki. Dieses Wort wird auch adjektivisch und für einzelne Angehörige der „Schickeria“ verwendet. Es gibt auch verschiedene Begriffsverwendung oder Verknüpfungen wie „Schickeria-Droge“ (- für Kokain) oder „Öko-Schickeria“. Den Urheberrechtsanspruch für den Begriff „Schickeria“ erhob der Schriftsteller Gregor von Rezzori und verwies dabei schon als Erklärung auf das Wort „schick“ und den jiddischen Begriff „schickern“ für „sich besaufen“. Erst die Verbindung beider Begriffe bezeichne präzise die gemeinte Sache, wobei darüber hinaus die Schickeria aber auch vom Wichtig-und-schön-sein-wollen lebe, denn Geld allein genügt noch nicht. Die Schickeria „will, sie darf nicht unter sich bleiben, sondern muss die Gesellschaft anderer suchen, nämlich die von noch Höheren, Reicheren, Mächtigeren. Der Schickeria wohnt ein unstillbarer Expansionsdrang inne.“ - so Rezzori 1984 für das Magazin Geo Special.[1] Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Allgemeines 2 Beispiele ... Allgemeines Die Zugehörigkeit zur Schickeria wird allgemein daran bemessen, ob man zu szenetypischen Partys geladen wird, die von Medien wahrgenommen werden. Dieser Kreis setzt sich aus Begüterten, Künstlern und Personen des öffentlichen Lebens (überwiegend durch Boulevardmedien bekannte Persönlichkeiten) zusammen. In der Schickeria spielen Äußerlichkeiten wie ausgefallene Kleidung (der Chic bzw. Schick), edles Essen, Champagner und ursprünglich als exaltiert geltendes, aber in den 2010er Jahren schließlich weit verbreitetes Verhalten (insbesondere der beidseitige, angedeutete Wangenkuss, was zu dem Begriff der „Bussi-Bussi-Gesellschaft“ führte) eine herausragende Rolle." ...

Heinz Rolf I like your comments.

''Of all time'' maybe not, but from the all female modern pianists, she is probably the most powerful technically and the main thing is that she has round and soft tone and natural phrasing (breathing).

I wonder, could she ever mature to dress decently.

You forgot Martha Argerich and Tatjana Nikolaeva and some other.

@@mariodisarli1022 She was born and educated in New York, stupid ! Nothing wrong with her interpretations --- Look at her face --- And her hands, not at her clothes ! Shut up and listen ---

Partly i was wrong. She was born in China (1989). Studied in Peking. Went to Canada, 14 years old. Afterwards came to New York (2008) to complete her study. Considered now as one of the best in the world.

6 and 7 are far more brutal, the 6th sonata especially with that ending that truly sounds like a war filled with cannon shots. This sonata is indeed very different but also really beautiful in my opinion :)

And Petrenko's most recent Philharmonic program also fits into this It moves exclusively in the first half of the 20th century, and Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3 is clearly the main attraction of the evening, especially as the Chinese Yuja Wang reaches into the keys, a pianist, half Circus horse, half machine, with a lurid record tempi in the outer sets and mercilessly accurate chord attacks.Whoever had always suspected that the piano is a drum kit, will feel confirmed by Yuja Wang." ...

@@mariodisarli1022 she studied in China, Canada and US. Her education is therefore not "Chinese". Further, as a pianist myself, I can say her performances are very good; some things one may not like but her ability and standard of performance are almost benchmarks. Regarding her "lack of knowledge of European culture" , are you saying it is a prerequisite to producing great music? Added to which she is an extensive reader of European culture and philosophy in addition to having studied it at her American and Canadian universities and her ongoing education by going to European art exhibitions. I'm not even a fan per se, but I must stand by what is true and give her what is her due. She is remarkable. Her clothing choices are peculiar at times but she's not there for her clothing but for her music.

@@republiccooper ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fjQyoD3kGwA.html This masterpiece of American-Canadian-Chinese culture presents everything you said! But this is not European culture, it is a shame for the greatest Russian composer! His famous piano concerto is used to make money and give sexual entertainment to a bored crowd! This is the American-Canadian culture ??? I can understand the Chinese - they are exploring the world of a foreign culture! This is not classical music, this “event” can be called like this: “A Chinese sewing machine sews American dollars for the realization of the“ American Dream ”!

She actually carries improvisation spirit of Jazz.

The thing you have to realize about Jazz is that it is somewhat unrepeatable. The same musicians may play a tune in a similar way but each time is unique. I know there are reinterpretations in Classical, but if some Jazz musicians today tried to exactly repeat a Miles Davis/John Coltrane performance, they’d be booed off the stage. Improvisation vs the printed page - they are apples and oranges. Me? I love both!

I was never a Trifonov fan but, that said, I did respect the young man's ability. Recently I've been seeing online reviews saying that he's gone sour. Is this true?

@@republiccooper Yes, he is not attractive, "Russian"! And he has nothing to show the American public - he is very modestly dressed, all parts of the body are closed, full of boredom! Another thing Yuya Vang - beauty and even makes sounds on the piano: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jUl0ON_fx8Y.html

@@mariodisarli1022 thanks for that. Just remember Yuja Wang was quite well known and doing well before she started to dress this way. Her big break was substituting for Argerich, not so? That says a lot. She does play remarkably well. I prefer her over Trifonov (just compare their Petrushka readings). I like Yuja. I respect Trifonov. But there are so many good ones around these days: Yeol Eum Son, Blechacz, Lisiecki,,, so many who are excelling.

@@republiccooper "I respect Trifonof." Wow! "I like Yuja": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jUl0ON_fx8Y.html Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, Miss Tits&Ass may have flying fingers but the sound, unlike that of the great pianists of the past, is not big and is not beautiful.

@@republiccooper Trifonov is outstanding when playing certain pieces, notably some Chopin. However, I find his body language very off putting, and he has nothing like the breadth of Yuja's repertoire. There is a good chance Yuja will end up recognised as the greatest pianist of the first half of the 21st century. Yuja's playing of the Tchaikovsky 1 when substituting for Argerich was a triumph. However, for me, she had truly arrived as a superstar in her early performances with the great Claudio Abbado who recognised her talent and pushed her to take the lead in their performances together. At that time, too, she was still a shy, demurely dressed young woman.

You clearly don't know much about western classical music. You've just, in one sweeping statement, dismissed the piano music of Debussy. You've probably never listened to the piano music of Schoenberg, either, which is full of delightful deviations from the more predictable paths of diatonicism. I'll agree with you on the high heels, though. They never look good, on anyone.

@@russellparratt9859 You only have to listen to the first 30 sec or so of this vid to see the truth of what I said. Bartok just as bad Alben Berg opera Lulu is written to appeal to 4 legged cats in despair. A lot of Debussy has no general appeal but as far as I know he didnt go wildly NOT diatonic. Now 10 sec of (Schoenberg) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h0-4SZGCd_A.html did NOT reveal anything delightful to me other than the advert for the Chinese dance troupe. Towards the end of the 19 century classical music reached a peak of perfection that could not be surpassed so the only avenue left was deviation from a standard which has frequently resulted in horrendous dischordant NOISE. The same argument applies to cosmology which has taken refuge in FAITH based mathematical incoherence that violates well established principles. If SCIENCE (?) can do such things then it is certain that ART will.!!!***!!!

@@divvy1400yam600 We're not going to have an argument, because I can see we agree on many things.... 1- High heels suck. 2- The current state of cosmology, and a lot of Einstein, for that matter, is JUNK. 3- I'll correct you here, but it was the early 20th century, with Mahler and Debussy at the height of their creative work, when that apogee was reached. 4- I don't like the work of Prokofiev, Bartok or Berg, either. Actually, I don't like a lot of Yuja Wang's repertoire, either. But, if you search RU-vid for her Schubert-Liszt transcription live performance, you will be impressed, I'm sure. But, you keep mentioning Chinese music. Have you considered Japanese classical music? It is of great beauty, with a sensibility, philosophical and structural foundation far removed from Western concepts. You may be more of a traditionalist, and I can't change that, but I find some of the music of Schoenberg and Webern refreshing in a similar way, because it breaks free, totally, from C19th musical sensibilities. Plus, the 3rd and 4th quartets of Schoenberg I find both both intellectually and musically absolutely brilliant and enjoyable. But that doesn't mean I like all of Schoenberg. We can pick and choose. As for Debussy, wih his explorations of rich harmonies, and use of the pentatonic scale, he was conscientiously moving away from diatonicism. If you can find recordings of Walter Gieseking playing Debussy's Images for piano, you will hear the best. It is magical.

@@divvy1400yam600 As for the Schoenberg, I love this work, but the recording I have, with Paul Jacobs on piano, is a fair bit slower, and more lyrical than this interpretation. As for other music, favourites of mine are the string quartets of Mozart and Shostakovich, Wagner's Ring, and the works of Mahler. Schoenberg and Webern's musical and philosophical authenticity I do not question, but in recent times I have become very sceptical about a lot of C20th music, because lyricism has been replaced with academicism, and the quest for a "style" that ticks the right boxes with the critics, if you know what I mean. But contemporary composition can still be musical, and lyrical, and genuine, without being diatonic. Classical Japanese and Korean music achieve that balance, although in a completely different cultural context.

@@russellparratt9859 The only reason I mentioned 'Chinese '(and I could have said Korean or Japanese) is because their music intervals are different from what are in practice Europe's and hence they are more attuned to the discord that has, except for experts, FAILED to develop IN Europe. Since the appeal of music is emotional and not academic I think without doubt the experts should be ignored. Same wth Brexit ! Eastern music however lacks the only instrument capable of having a solo identity and that is THE PIANO, Isn't it wonderful to listen to the Eastern lady pianists effervescing over the beautiful traditional classical repertoire. By and large Mahler is for the depressed who wish to commit suicide and Wagner for the impulsive demented elated. Both did manage to create some beauiful sounds ! By the way if you really do like the direction that modern music has taken (no other way really) so be it but dont expect many followers.Time may change things but IMO it will be bloodie long tme. Expect Islamic concoctions by then !

I understand the arguments from both sides re her choice of clothes.
