Again, I LOVE how she doesn't rely on the damper pedal.  Her playing is so clean and crisp it makes me happy.

Hot damn!  I have never heard her do this before.  I was raised on the all the Horowitz versions, and no one since has had his kind of psycho, too-many synapses energy to do it for me.  But this--it gave me goose pimples.  What is wrong with the audience??!!  They should have been going berserk afterwards.  She's a young Chinese woman in a sexy dress--half of probably hate her.  I'm in love with her--not the dress, but it's fine with me--with her music.  I think she's the best soloist out there.  God bless her.  This is as good as it gets.

For me she was always a wonderful performer of Chopin, but in recent years she has been showing that no challenge is too great for her. I agree that Yuja is going to be the best in the world.

What a superb performance. I have heard Horowitz and Rubenstein but Yuja Wang is the best. As a former piano teacher and accomplished pianist, I appreciate the difficulties of this piece.

What a performance!
I thought I knew this piece in and out. Yet, this felt like hearing Rach 3 for the first time, again! So crisp, teeming with life, and simply true.

I was baffled, couldn't understand at first how she created certain effects. So, going back and being quite analytical about it, working my way through, measure by measure... and that's how one discovers all of Wang Yuja's great choices, outlining a very elaborate and well balanced understanding of piece and structure, and - above all - flourishes of intense emotions and amazing narration. One shouldn't, but I did directly compare to the likes of Horowitz and Co., and now that Wang Yuja explained her vision, I'd side with her interpretation rather than what I believed in until fairly recently. The eternal beauty of music: there's always yet another facet to discover...

I also just thought back to these first "wow"-videos appearing on youtube back then of that same young prodigy, displaying mostly amazing technique at first. Before I was in awe, but not necessarily in agreement. What a journey and transformation! Gradually over time, I admit I became a believer. Among other milestones, this concerto proves why.

And also one shouldn't forget: bravo to the incredible orchestra. Outstanding accompaniment, wonderful listeners and great chemistry overall!

(One problem though: Yuja's Rach 3 is way too intense to use as background music ... so distracting ^__^ arrh!)

Thank you for uploading this concert with my (again) favorite pianist. It's true, this piece of Rachmaninov seems to be new. In an interview she explained her way she is conducting herself in concerts. She is always trying to find something exciting for for herself in that and that's the public is being a witness auf her discoveries. Otherwise it would be too boring to her. What a way to perform!

I have come back three months later to cry while all the world is suffering the  coronavirus attack to receive consolation of this outstanding performance with Yuja and Rachmaninov. Thank you once more for filling my mind with this incredible concerto. Thanks also to the wonderful orchestra and conductor Orozco-Estrada.

The 2d has always been my favorite, but the 3d has grown on me.  This may be my favorite performance to date.

Hey Peter, you are great in collecting all of these beautiful clips. I wonder how and where you download these clips from? I wanna build up my collection for someone else, but found it very hard to find such downloadable resources. TIA.

As a former piano teacher and mediocre pianist, I have to comment on one of the things that I think makes her so great - her perfect posture. This illustrates her core strength.  She doesn't wallow around on the bench like a lot of other young pianists caught up in the drama of the performance.  There is stillness at the center.  She is a perfect combination of strength and brain.

What an amazing intellect. I love the different colours that she wears, to help us to understand her sensuality.

Just amazing in every way. I have heard this concerto played by dozens of pianists and orchestras. THIS performance, which by some measure is more gentle than most others, is, nevertheless superb technically as well as artistically. No value at all in comparison to others or offering “personal insights” into the interpretation here. What we have here is just a performance by pianist and orchestra that is simply a thing of enormous beauty.

Has Horowitz met his match? It sounds as if she could have studied under him. Absolutely beautiful!

She positively takes my breath away ... what an incredibly gifted pianist! We watched her in the Vienna concert (can't remember date that was on PBS) and then accessed it several times from On Demand. Yuja Wang surrounds us with both healing and joy during these "distancing" times.

Many comments here are treating this YouTube like playing CDs. This is a recording of a live performance - therefore the most important aspect should be what impression the audience went away with, how the audience felt with their ears, eyes, muscles, brains, minds and souls (the last 2 are not organs). The artist may have chosen to perform differently from their (and/or the others') previous recordings or previous life performances because of their musical life-experience. And on the day, many factors can affect the performance of over 50 people, the soloist, the conductor, the musicians in the orchestra.

Music is probably the most universal language of mankind. The scientific theory of music system and the music score system are universal. One can see different people round the world interpret the same piece of music similarly but also differently, just like the accent of a language and dialect within a country or a region.


What is my point? A live performance is unique and not repeatable. It is direct sounds from instruments to audience. Just enjoy it as a piece of history of art performing.


A CD is to be played and replayed at someone's discretion. Thanks to YouTube, the live performance can now be enjoyed by many more people around the world who were not part of the audience. Still, we should enjoy the live performance in YouTube with a mind-set as if we were in the audience.


Any classical music artists who can attract audience to live-performance are good artists. For those who consistently selling out tickets are exceptional artists.  For myself, going to a concert largely depends on the program, and then musicians (soloist, conductor, ..). If Yuja performs near where I live, I will not hesitate to go regardless of her concert program. But I cannot afford the money nor the time to catch her concerts far away from where I live.
