Yuja Wang : may be the best solo, ensemble, concerto, and accompanist player in recorded history. The breadth of her memorized repertoire is beyond comprehension.

Two great musicians in great harmony😊. A musical tidbit!

[misterbonzoid]

To read the comments about 'projection' of the clarinet etc. is amusing, given the compression involved in internet transmission of the video, and the miking and recording artefacts introduced by making the recording.
Finding fault with such a superb, freely-available, transcendent piece of video just shows why humanity is in such a mess.

[duncanmacpherson]

I had not heard these pieces before. I thought it an absolutely lovely concert

[DorothyDolenc]

Two extremely talented artists!Very had I heard such a duet.I totally enjoyed it.Thank you.

[Ukgejap]

Bravi!I love them both, a very good combination!

[uralbob]

Fantastic! So perfectly and technically beautiful!

[jeanqueudot]

Merveilleuse complicité entre ses deux très grands solistes à la technique éclatante. Leur audace maîtrisée, leur humour et leur poésie pure éclatent dans les danses hongroises de Brahms

[xueliliang]

It is so cool that you’re hands focus to play fast that is so very amazing how you can do that

[HuaLai-fdlr]

She is wonderful piano accompanist: she plays soft when soloist is playing his SOLO part, and when soloist is playing quiet part, she play her part following the composer's music score. Piano is maturely louder than wing instrument.

[catherinejones]

Wonderful breath control and tonality from Mr frost and Yuja is a spectacular acc0mpanist in this work, terrific.

[beatlessteve]

First sound was amazing like a freight train of sound and it really gave the impression of a complete orchestra..

[lewisblackwell]

IMPOSSIBLE. These two artists play so furiously fast and so intimately tuned, they create music that seems only to come from a single organism! Stunning.

[erikbrodnax]

Both Ms. Wang and Mr. Frost find the musculature of the music and thereby rediscover the originality of their respective instruments. Makes me sigh in relief and gently ponder the ascendancy of mature, yet athletic showmanship. Two youthful and dashing instrumentalist! We are going to continue to be gifted with much fantastic music to come...thank God!

[claudehardoin]

enplus d un talent immense ils sont beaux et Yuja est toujours avec un gout exquis je l adore.

[LaurentPingaultLyon]

Yuja in Khatia's homeland! She awesomely passed the challenge

[rodolforealini]

Ho ascoltato vari pezzi musicali che sono stati suonati al Festival Tsinandali
da Yuja Wang e Martin Fröst, che in questa occasione, hanno realizzato un duo particolare sprigionando incredibile passionalita' e in alcuni pezzi, una magistralita' esecutiva sorprendente, dimostrando un perfetto sincronismo armonico.
Aggiungo un bravo allo stilista di Yuja Wang, che le crea abiti molto ammirati, che per chi li indossa inducono a grande respiro e fiato corto a chi li vede indossati ; anche questa è Arte.

[tomasfagerberg]

This is the first time I see Yuja not giving away her flowers🙂

[Yunklob]

I have always admired the originality of the Swedish clarinet school, when the sound is directed not into the hall, but into the performer’s crotch area. This method remarkably enhances the sound and creates unique overtones. #^.^#
