Yuja Wang - Rachmaninov: Etudes Tableaux Op. 39, No. 1 in C-Minor (Live at Philharmonie, Berlin)

Yuja Wang - Rachmaninov: Etudes Tableaux op. 39, No. 1 in C-Minor (Live at Philharmonie, Berlin / 2018)

Yuja Wang’s philosophy of music is both simple and profoundly complex. “I want to relate all life to music,” she recently told veteran British critic Fiona Maddocks. The Beijing-born pianist’s latest album for Deutsche Grammophon captures the white heat of solo works by Rachmaninov, Prokofiev, Scriabin and Ligeti, a trio of Russians together with one of the late 20th-century’s greatest composers. “The Berlin Recital” was recorded live in the summer of 2018 at the Berlin Philharmonie’s Kammermusiksaal during Yuja’s extensive solo tour of North America and Europe.

Yuja Wang always divine plays Rachmaninov with incredible brilliance - is interpretation of extraordinary beauty with a rich color palette of sound. . .

[daniloberaldo]

She playing this Steinway is just perfect!

[jnmusic]

What I love about this interpretation is that you don’t hear every individual note of the right hand, it focuses on the melody in the left hand

[parislovesrachmaninoff]

1:15 such a nostalgic and beautiful sound. when im old and frail that sound will cause a lot of reminiscing

[geofffreeburn]

Yuja has mastered the greatest of the Russian composers, she is beyond world class this lady.

[miguelfontesmeira]

I just imagine the process of composing this piece and it all seems so misterious and yet organic, inevitable

[cissyl]

I like the inner lines she brought out!!

[dskim]

All my life I've been playing A flat in the left hand at the end of the 4th measure. This is the first time I've realized it's A natural. I mean, my ears should have noticed with other recordings, but this is just really really clear.

[armstrong]

Yuja is quite simply astonishing. She plays every composer superbly. This Etude Tableaux never sounded better, although the supreme tests are in the two D minor Etudes and the E flat minor opus 39 #5.

[TimothyChiangPianist]

Really wonderful playing! Very natural feel for the music, even a lot of high level pianists play this too mechanically

[BarNuun]

Complex, so complex and always beautiful to hear... if it is played at this level of artistry!

[busylifemeto]

Yuja has developed into one of the top pianists of this century

[Posark]

Just for a moment there at the very beginning I imagined her thinking nervously, I hope I have practiced this enough, I hope I don’t mess up- well here goes!
😂 I mean it would be so comical if she was like a student at a recital feeling nervous. Because... Yuja
Eta: this is *just great*
💕 🎶 🌋

[cjgilmore]

One of a small set of pieces that brings tears to my eyes

[michaelkrestan]

as a set ... these etudes (33 and 39) are the greatest achievements in 20th century (etude) piano music in my opinion....okay..some of the ligeti etudes are great.too...you got me and rautavaara ..well ...but still...

[..v]

Это как будто не музыка, а ветер, волны...

[alexiscarre]

1'32 is so clear. I am very impressed by this performance!

[ЛюдмилаГорячкина-ок]

Её музыкальная начитанность восхищает.

[laughinloveforever]
