Yulianna Avdeeva - Concerto in E minor, Op. 11 (final stage, 2010) 

I just realized, at 13 minutes, the lights in the hall go out during a stressfull piano passage, and Avdeeva doesn't miss a single note. Wow.

still the best in 2024

Yulianna has so much charisma! Such a pleasure to watch and to listen to. ❤❤❤❤❤

I am glad that the judges picked her as the winner, she has the rare ability to turn some one else music into her own, I never thought Chopin could be played like this... her interpretation is out of this world

still listening to it after all these years...i still think this is the best version:)

Her touches are just amazingly beautiful with a wonderful interpretation - all the notes sound purely like jewelry yet she can make powerful sounds too..just magnificent!! I also watched her Chopin Op49 which I also love so much!!

Outstanding performance!!! I love when an artist "goes for it" and Yulianna did just that... Yulianna's performance was brilliant and the orchestra was exceptional. The video is very well done and the sound quality is perfect. I could listen to this over and over.

This is a performance that creeps up on you, and you suddenly realise just how good it is. Well complemented by the orchestra, too.

오케스트라를 지휘하다시피하는 카리스마와 힘, 자신만의 쇼팽 해석에 대한 확고한 믿음과 예술성, 음악에 대한 순수한 열정과 불타지만 차가운 감정, 그 모든걸 쏟아낸 율리아나도 감동이고 그걸 알아보고 바로 1등 상을 준 쇼팽 콩쿨이 괜히 쇼팽 콩쿨이 아니구나라고 다시 한번 느끼네요.. 브라보!!

I don't like when the video cuts off before hearing the audiences full appreciation for the performance.

I went to see her last week in Melbourne, Australia. Absolutely stunning play.

In 2010 fourteen outstanding and experienced pianists clearly perceived what many less competent and sensitive people failed to recognize: a rising pianistic star entirely engrossed in music, celebrating it with love, passion, reverence, perfect concentration, emotional depth and tremendous power, with individuality but without a trace of egocentricism so often seen. That is why the 1st Prize was beyond doubt and discussion in the Jury. After ten years of innumerable standing ovations on five continents and four additional in the same hall during the pandemic it is clear that they were not mistaken. Nor was Maestro Wit clapping his hands with joy and satisfaction after the last chords.

まるで精密機械のような素晴らしいタッチ、それでいて一本しっかり芯の通った演奏。聴き終わった後は、春の暖かい爽やかな風のような心地よさ。素晴らしいです。

Incredibly beautiful! She has a deep understanding of the music, plays it naturally and every note is musical. There is no distractive show off, just the beauty of the music. Brava!

1st mvmt: 0:04 2nd mvmt: 20:56 3rd mvmt: 30:22

Удивительное сочетание аналитической точности, академической техники и воздушной лёгкости. Музыкальное полотно словно искусное кружево, рождаемое волшебными пальцами, повторить которое, кажется, совершенно невозможно. Браво! Восторг!

Die beste Pianisten überhaupt..👍❤️👍

I'm in love with this Chopin's Piano Concert!

So I hear her for the 1st time early this morning before I went to sleep around 2am. 12 hours later after 3pm, I'm saying to myself, "Lawd!! (southern for Lord) look at this sister girl go". After hearing Martha Argerich's latest video performance of this piece, I assumed that I would not be inspired "that much" by another performance, until I asked last night, "Who won this competition in 2010?" He fingers are lIke one with the piano keys, so fit for striking the keys perfectly. Her artistry & her beauty are absolutely amazing!!

A true Chopin artist. My highest Bravo to Yulianna !

やはり、この演奏は何度聴いても、過去のどんな大巨匠ともヒケを取らない、最高のクオリティーであり、今後のユリアンナ・アヴデーエワさんの円熟に期待したいですね。

Che meraviglia! Artista straordinaria! Interpretazione davvero magistrale e soprattutto emozionante!!

Wow! Takes my breath away. I learned they don't award the prize every five years, which makes winning the competition every more of an accomplishment. I certainly can understand how they could award first prize to this woman. She is inspiring. And what a privilege to have these excellent videos that give viewers the best seat in the house. Yes, it would be wonderful to be in the audience at the end of such a performance, joining the crowd in expressing our appreciation but watching a fine video on a computer with a good sound system is pretty sweet. I needed to subscribe so I can enjoy more Chopin. Thanks!

The expression is so fluid, she lets the music take her.

13:00 she handled the lights turning off flawlessly

By far the best rendition I´ve ever heard. Amazingly stunning! Bravissima, Yuliana !!!

did anyone notice that the auditorium lights turned off ?!?!!?! she kept playing like nothing happened!!!!

Dies ist ja wohl mit Abstand die gefühlvollste und durchdachteste Interpretation dieses fantastischen Meisterwerks, die ich ja gehört habe! 👍👏 Bravo!!

Юлианна Андреевна не просто играет, она живёт этой музыкой, пропуская её через свою душу! Замечательное звукоизвлечение! Получаешь огромное эстетическое наслаждение от столь прекрасного исполнения!

very emotional and dynamic. Yulianna is a fantastic interpreter of Chopin.

13:14 the light turned off! She could still play it greatly, by the way

I love Yulianna's performance! The orchestra is professional and the video (scenes and sound quality) is great too! The pianist and orchestra added radiance to each other. Each side made this wonderful. I watched this video several times.

Outstanding performance & interpretation.

She played Chopin like a philosopher!she is completely wise like Plato’s logical mind to create music. I think that she is lack of common emotions to audiences to approach her music when she played Chopin, but she is the most sober person.She doesn’t want to excite people, her music has educational meaning. She persuades the core of music.

What a truly beautiful soul...Gods spirit shines through her...how could one possibly acquires that expressed beauty in just one lifetime..

Such a commanding and exhilarating performance and her sound palette is flexible and well suited for this music. Brava!!

A GLORIOUS achievement! WONDERfUL playing! As good as it gets. But there are SO MANY today who play at this level. I pray that every one of them may find enough of an audience and critical acclaim to sustain a successful career.

Aw man, her face at the end... 'Well, I absolutely freaking nailed that...'

Czysta wirtuozeria Chopinowska; brawo!!!

Great pianist. Great piece.

Fabulous!breathtaking&thrilling!!

Magically beautiful. She’s a goddess.

What an amazing performance!! A true masterpiece!

What a superb performance. Why do we not know of her before ? There are so many brilliant pianists, we are so lucky. All this on a Yamaha grand which sounds as good as a Steinway. Wonderful. Thank you to all involved.

Understanding and feeling for this op.11 is in top. The soul of Chopin is alive.

Absolutely emotional interpretation!

Her playing bears her charisma and is extremely intelligent.

Beleza indescritível, toque firme, andamento claro e emoção dosada! Belíssima interpretação. 17:04 a 18:48 é para mim uma das "páginas" mais belas da criação musical ocidental, uma das melodias mais tocantes que já ouvi, pois Chopin faz o piano cantar com toda sua sensibilidade! Choro sempre...

Beautiful!!

音楽を聴いて心で感じる事が大切だと思う、技巧に走ると、その道の批評家、専門家がバッシングする。彼女の感性が伝わって来ます。素晴らしい。YAMAHA以外のピアノで演奏すれば、もっといいのに、と楽器そのものを批判する態度こそ、おかしくもあります。心に響きました。

lights went out and she kept on going thats a winner!

One of my favorit interpretation of Chopin's concerto. Very powerful, emotional, and unique.

Wonderful!

真矢みきに似てる😆なんと言っても弾いてる姿勢と表情が美しくて品が良い。女性には珍しいス―ツが上品さをさらに引き立ててるし、彼女にとてもよく似合う❤️ヤマハを選んでくれたとこもグッド👍

every notes is emotional . wonderful , perfect !

Esta mujer ejerce una técnica maravillosa...! Gracias por permitirnos escucharla y verla.

Absolument merveilleux, Chopin a son meilleur. Bravo Yulianna.

Esto no se puede ni comentar, .... es SUPERIOR a todo posble comentario, ÚNICAMENTE ESCUCHAR Y SOBRE VOLAR ESTE MUNDO!!!!

The Best . you can feel it .

I just love Yulianna's intelligent interpretations!

outstanding, memorable interpretation, i keep hearing it every month as with 956 Schubert with emerson. thank you, yulianna, hope to see you in israel too

impeccable performance! Well deserved champion!!

今初めてユリアンナアヴデーエワさんのChopinのconcerto1番の演奏を聞いて感動を通り越しています🙏私が音楽に求める全ての何倍もの永遠の憧れとなって表現されていると思います✴私の言葉でその思いを表すことはできません👏👏👏今から来日公演を聴ける奇跡を信じて💟

Fantasie ！She is Master❤️

Very crisp pleasing performance - well done, Bravo

Listening to her performance, I feel like looking into a kaleidoscope of sounds.

놀랍고 아름다운 연주에 푹 잠겨 보는 이 아침이 행복합니다.

UN SINNUMERO DE PAISAJES Y EMOCIONES EN ESTE HERMOSO CONCIERTO QUE SON PINTADOS MARAVILLOSAMENTE POR AVDEEVA EN EL LENGUAJE UNIVERSAL DE LA MUSICA EN EL PARA MI MAS COMPLETO INSTRUMENTO QUE NUNCA JAMAS SERA SUPERADO QUE ES EL PIANO

kocham ją

wonderful..

Segundo movimento é indescritível. Não dá para dizer nada. FANTÁSTICO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Antoni et yulianna ... C est totalement magique là !!!

guys u are the best ez 2024

Musically and much brilliant! (Chopin´s music is beautiful, as usual!)

Il suono è parola, concetto, è fusione di intelletto e profondità .

Pan Fryderyk Chopin jest dumą Polski! Cały naród jest z niego dumny! 🇵🇱

Yulianna Avdeeva lowe 💗💗💗💗

great performance by a great artist.

I can't imagine how many times she played it not to make any mistakes.Dedication!

Finally good quality, so much better than 1st upload of this concerto

Most beautifully played romance

MY DEEPEST RESPECT...ANOTHER PIANIST..💝💝👏👏👏

start listen 37min:40sec---------->fragment with left hand is the reason she won 1 Price

若手の演奏が好きになれなくて、長い間コンクールとか新しいピアニストとかチェックしてなかったんですが、昨日彼女を知りまして、一発でファンになりました。やたら速さに訴えたりしない所が好きです。無駄なジェスチャーや顔芸もない。なのにすごく深い表現力がある。こんなピアニストが現代のピアノ界に、ショパンコンクールに必要だったと思います。素晴らしい演奏です。既に巨匠という感じがしてます。ヤマハの音もCFXになって格段に良くなりました（ちょっと狙い過ぎな感じもしますが）。いい感じの所でミスして盛り上がり切らなくなっちゃう所だけちょっと残念です。だからか、弾き終わった所であんまり納得できてなさそうな顔に見えました。ここから先は本人のせいじゃないですが、3楽章の頭、ヴァイオリンの人達が合ってなくて可哀想でした。それと3楽章で特に、高音側2オクターブくらいの音がみるみる下がって来て全然きれいな音じゃなくなってしまっているのも可哀想というか残念というか。最後の音とか、上が全然聞こえてないですよね。あんなに心惹かれる瞬間なのに。ピアノが新しくて弦も新しいでしょうからある程度仕方ないと思いますが、自分の仕事でこうだったら絶望的な気持ちになる所です。まぁいつだって後半は音が下がるものですが。低音側をもうちょっと下げておけばここまで悲惨な音にはならなかったかもしれません。まぁこれは調律師サイドの話です。 いずれにしろ素晴らしいピアニストに出会えてうれしいです。自分もこんな風に弾けたら良かったのに。

何て強い演奏でしょう、素晴らしいショパン！

Fabulous! Congratulations!

wonderful

Even if i still regard Bozhanov a genius and for this reason he had to win the competition without any doubts, rilestening the performances, i can say that this pianist is great. Apparently, she is nothing special but after some minutes her deep and maningful playing comes out. She has a wide range of colours: from subtle pianissimo to a solid fortissimo. And sometimes she can reach what i call "great moments". In my humbl opinion, the great moments are the touchstone between a normal and a great pianist. Avdeeva is a great pianist. From 7:40 to 8:00 is an example.

If this girl's hands shake at any point, it is evidence of the electricity she feels while playing--said electricity which can be felt right through this RU-vid video. She is on fire. While I sometimes criticize lack of old school legato in players, I do NOT criticize this performance for any such thing. I watch her hands and listen to her tone in cantabile passages as well as allegro--in which we sometimes use a non-legato approach--and I hear and see nothing but the most scrupulous efforts at legato playing. She fingers octaves with a lot of silent changes. I'm sorry but I disagree with anybody who criticizes her for lack of legato. Kudos also go to the conductor, who follows her ornamentation spot on. My only question would be about the piano she has chosen in this competition. This could be a case of the presence of a fantastic Yamaha and a mediocre Steinway, but nothing cuts through orchestral textures like a Steinway. Would she "bear down" as much on a great Steinway as she does on this Yamaha? I don't know. As it is, her tone is drop-dead gorgeous. Another huge positive factor is that she is always in touch with every instrument that plays a solo or accompanies her. As for competitions, "winners", and "we all get a prize"--there are many ways to interpret any piece of music, and many ways to be outstanding, but the judges agreed that in this moment, she is better than anyone else. A well-deserved win! Brava, Yuliana!

Inolvidable este concurso 2010 !!!!!!!! Bravíssima Juliana Avdeva !!!!!!!!!! ema knoch

Bravo, bravo, superbe!

Imagine how tiring that day was.

Está pianista mostra além da competência também induz à quem assiste sua maneira de compartilhar seu sentimento acariciando as teclas do piano

才能あふれる方々が必死で望んだショパンコンクール、私にとっては大きな励ましでした。ありがとう。ありがとう。

Wunderbar

👏👏 👏 She is a great piano player

So many butt-hurt commenters who expected someone else to win. Music is not about perfection, it is about giving the music feeling, emotions and setting it alive. Bravo!

Gorgeous✨✨✨✨✨
