The first impression of Yuja when she takes her first steps into the stage, you see this Godess wearing sultry clothes, and not until you hear her first passages and phrases you realize , she bewitches you with her music, she gets deep into your soul with her music. What a genious she is.
Daniil Trifonov played this wonderful piece, too. He played it deeply emotional and very schmalzy...bad taste like so often. Yuja played it deeply emotional with a warm, yet crystal-clear touch...no schmalz....simply good taste as always.
