Yuja Wang is simply the best pianist that ever lived! She inspires. She caresses the soul. She gladdens the heart.

Saying the 'best' is rather a tall order for such a short woman (a wisher under 5'0")! There ARE many others. But not many, perhaps none, who DO inspire, and excite 'soul and 'heart'. On that she is almost one of a kind.

La Pianista no podría lucirse magistralmente de esa manera sin tener a su lado un Gran Director y una Excelente orquesta sinfónica. Ellos también merecen reconocimiento. No omitan sus nombres. Gracias.

Love Yuja Artistry. Fine collaboration

Great concerto. Great pianist. Great Gergiev.

Super good, excellent combination Gergiev and Yuja

Thank God for Brahms. Today, I re-kindled my luv for Brahms music.

25:35 My favorite part. It's so beautiful, especially with those low notes on the piano.

To hear Katchen here as I did in the introduction of this theme in 1957 was simply stupendous. The theme returns at 15:02. .

She looks so HAPPY at the end of the Finale!

SUPER FABULOUS…..A MUST LISTEN CONCERT

The most incredible classical pianist I have ever seen and I do think she should be watched as she plays. Thrilling!

I do believe the pieces Yuja plays best are pieces she really loves. This is one. I do worry about how the joints in her hands will hold up over time. Yuja is the consummate professional, so I guess she has this figured out. Stunning to hear and stunning to watch.

This is the concert I enjoy the most! I've hear many performers, Sviatoslav, Grigori, Khatia and now The Great, Gifted and So Beautiful YUJA WANG!!!

Here I am listening to this wonderful piece….Brahms and Yuja again. Enjoying more and more.

I didn’t think Brahms was her thing, but she is actually incredibly good at it. The big structure was so well done! Amazing performance! 👍

Quel contentement d’entendre une interprétation si magistrale ! Tout Brahms est là. Merci, vraiment.

Finally came across this beautiful and powerful piece again….performed by Yuja and a marvelous orchestra….like meeting an old friend….

Fantastic Yuja with Brahms, but also great emotional leading work by the conductor Valery Gerghiev! Thanks!

A masterwork by Brahms- a masterwork by Yuja! She doesn't need to play the star, she leads the orchestra at the right moments, she accompagnies the orchestra at the right moments.... Her solo parts are breathtaking, but not in the sense of a empty virtuosity, no - in the sense of Liszt's virtuosity: only to serve the music! Her chamber music parts with the cello shows why she is one of the most accomplished chamber musicians alive!

Brahms would be smiling. I am. Amazing playing.

I don't know where all that passion and power comes from but only Yuja's unique technical abilities apparently can capture what she must feel inside while playing a piece like this. It's like, "where does she get it from". I speak from experience and only when the technique is there can an artist express what they feel from the music in their playing. Because Yuja's technique is so uniquely extraordinary are we lucky enough to get a glance at how this beautiful artist is really feeling. We should all listen and let it bring us to the same emotional heights

That was good!

Such a great piece!

Hermosa, excelente versión. Una de las mejores que he escuchado. Gran cocnocimiento de la obra por parte de la magnífica solista como del sobresaliente director. Ambos son verdaderos, superiores músicos, artistas de verdad.

E. et F.: thank you so much for this post. I want to complement you on your intro, not only to this masterpiece but to Yuja. I could not agree more with everything you said. The performance, not only by Yuja but by conductor and orchestra, certainly does justice to the composer. Good German orchestras have a way with Brahms - I guess it is in their DNA!

A giant soul and mind erected this Parthenon of musical gifts to us. Here, framed in the centerpiece, a tour guide, not a club-fisted pianistic Meister, but a dainty edelweiss of a girl with a talent as big as her subject. I've tried to compare her with others at this piece--No one surpasses Yuja's Brahms.

The Violoncello player in my opinion almost stole the limelight in the 3rd but she saved it with a ton of cooperation in the end.

These were my thoughts exactly. I've been listening to this work since the late fifties and this was (for me) the best of many good cello performances of what I personally consider Brahms' greatest melody, in what was arguably his greatest work. Yuja added to her contribution in the third movement by the brilliantly delicate opening to the final movement. (Also listen to the passage at 20.12 to 20.20 as an illustration of Yuja's dynamic range.) I struggle to imagine a greater performance of this music.

Stunning Rendition on The Gifted YUJA'S Hands!!! I Love Her and I follow every single rendition of This BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED Lady!!!

Questa versione è superiore alla precedente esibizione di Wang su you tube; probabilmente ha avuto il tempo di meditare sulla complessità di questo concerto che, insieme all'op. 98, chiude il classicismo musicale.

Seigneur ! Dieu existe ! Je l'ai rencontré ! Et elle est si belle !!!! Oui, je sais, je sais. Ca ne va pas. En français, on a l'habitude des dieux masculins ! Mais, si j'avais dit : Déesse existe, cela n'aurait eu aucun sens ! Personne n'aurait compris. Alors, certains osent, je le sais, véhiculent la rumeur qu'elle aurait été enfant, aurait appris le piano au conservatoire dans un petit pays quelconque. Mais tous les musiciens besogneux que nous sommes pour la plupart le savent bien ! Il n'est pas possible de naître, et puis un jour, de jouer si divinement. Non. C'est une déesse. Et elle existe ! Déesse, tu existes !

It's not romantic music at all. If you listen to Brahms for the first time, it is difficult to understand. It's like reading a poem. Its not the mere meaning of the singular words, but there is the higher idea between the words, or beyond the words. You need a sence reason to understand it. Maybe you should listen to the piece more then once.

"It's just very samey all through. I don't rate it." Well, that can almost be said of any great composer of any era. Let's just say you, like Tchaikovsky, do not like Brahms sound world. You are perfectly justified in having that personal opinion. But it is hard to credit you are 'mystified' at others, including Ms.Wang, loving it, as I do. In music, the 'higher' idea is almost a meaningless phrase, more literary than musical. Don't mistake your own individual prejudices, or incomprehension, toward certain music as a veracious artistic critique.
