Yulianna Avdeeva - Fantasy in F minor, Op. 49 (second stage, 2010) 

This is among the best live performances of this work ever.

After watching so many videos in 2021 Chopin competition, I still wanna come back and watch this video again. Yulianna has a special tone and sound, so unique. The atmosphere she created cannot be imitated!

I truly think Ms. Avdeeva has the most potential of any young pianist out there. Her performance of the Fantasy in F minor is perfect technically, and beautifully interpreted. She has an extraordinary ability to 'emote'... to play each passage in a way that goes straight to the heart of the listener. Although I find quite a few public performances by Ms. Avdeeva here and there on RU-vid, I wish there were many more. I can imagine that it's very difficult to establish as career as a concert pianist. It's a grueling form of existence, and I'm not really sure it's something that any sane person would or should want to do. Ms. Avdeeva may not, as a artist, feel that that is the path that most fulfills her. Whatever her plans, I can only hope that she continues to play in public occasionally and more of her playing finds it's way on to RU-vid! I first became aware of this work from a recording on Phillips by Claudio Arrau, about 35 years ago. Ms. Avdeeva's performance here has made it one of my favorite Chopin compositions. I haven't heard a pianist who moves me so much in many decades.

The more I listend to this video, the more I am impressed. Every note is a little art work. Yulianna makes also the piano parts so interesting and exciting. I wish Frederic Chopin could listen to her. Thank you so much, you make the world better!

When I hear the playing of preliminary rounds in the recent international Chopin competitions, I find Yulianna’s playing is undoubtedly superb and full of musical meaning and thoughts, so much inside, which makes a great difference!

Yulianna celebrates music with love, reverence and deep search of meaning. Rare artistic treasure! She has tremendous spiritual, mental, emotional and physical power - all in perfect harmony!

Formidable pianist.Marvelous phrasing and profound understanding of everything she plays.

even now she is still so humble and still learning :) very precious !

I love her interpretation and I think she did very well

I'm back for the 3rd time today...still my favorite :)

Splendida esecuzione, piena di colori, di respiri, con la giusta passione nei passaggi di slancio, e con un bellissimo suono pieno mai a scapito dei piano. Eccellente.

Love the way she explores harmonics! Look at the left hand from 12.04 to 12.30.

Wow! Another fabulous performance by Avdeeva! Thank you! And the Chopin's Fantasy itself is beyond praise for its miraculous sound and virtuosity. Nearly, every work of Chopin, large or small, share the same qualities!

Brilliant!

Beautiful! She is fantastic, brava!! 💓

Мой любимый исполнитель)

wonderful sonority of piano : fortissimis are not hard , piece with the melody of Chopin , J like her tempo with famous technique j discover this pianist

Right up there with the finest Cara Yulianna!

absolutely speechless... I have always thought of this piece as unnecessarily long, but her playing lights magic on this piece. she gave a very interesting narrative to this piece.

My God what a performance!

Bravissima!brivido.spero che possa sentire dal vivo.

I love the wide construction of the composition.

Exquisite!

Восхитительно, каждая фраза дышит 👏👏👏👏👏

Pure Art

Jeu limpide et grande intensité. Beau piano

Je maravilla, me encanta Gracias!

A true fantasy, I must say...

The last few notes were just magical!! 👏👏👏

carefully studied. she really has that deep mastery

Es como un poema majestuoso.❤❤❤

Listening to Yulianna Avdeeva is such a pleasure. Guido Agosto visited the Danish Conservatory around 1971 and said in his masterclass that this piece, the Fantasie op.49, is the most important Chopin piece. I disagree (I think the Sonata op.58 is greater, and also op.65, Cello-Sonata - and if you listen to op.7 the piano-trio you will be surprised how beautiful that is. Anyway, listening to Yulianna Avdeeva is such a pleasure.

Beautifully textured all the way through, brilliant!

Amazing performance. Yulianna is a very special pianist and musician.

Exquisite, very delicate , but powerful as well , Beautiful, !! Cheers from New Zealand !!

Magnifique. J'y vois l'Etna d'un calme apparent puis entrant en éruption

Coming back to this great performance after hearing so many mediocre ones in the ongoing competition…

Does anyone know of a better interpretation of this than Yulianna's? I'm legitimately curious as I believe this one to be the best out there...

Unbelievable!!

Incredible performance

hats off gentleman a genius ::

She plays like a legendary pianist like Arrau.

@9:05 min beethoven second mov 7th sympho.

This is powerful af

Thrilling!!!

Excelente!

❤

2010???? por que lo subieron hasta 2016??

I think it was this performance that one the competition for her.

OMG the chorale :O wow I'd like the quarter notes a little longer, but other than that... just wow.

Splendid performance.... What would it sound on other top concert grands?... I wonder

Formidável !!!

I like the audience cauched when it finished :)

BRAVA!

I feel like I'm 25% of the views on this video LMAO

Such control 2:05

И никуда не торопится и бешеная энергия есть в музыке. Это надо чтобы темперамент совпал с тем что играешь. Мне кажется ей близок Шопен.

braba

Does she play only Yamaha?

ha il pregio di non annoiare l'ascoltatore

Yulianna VS Ingolf ?

stay of the d*mn una corda...please. it puts a lid on the sound and sometimes does not allow the note to speak.

A very strong player, but she hasn’t found the interconnections with Chopin yet.

She is a fantastic pianist and artist. There is no doubt about it. But this play sounds too common to me, like something I hear on every classic radio channel. Anyway I liked the first 15 seconds very much. Good job.

やはり、理解に苦しむ場面はありますが、相当の練習時間を費やしてる事は確かですね‼️素晴らしい🎵

Never fotget that

prefer Zimerman

I hate playing posture.

Pretty aggressive...
