Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 is a milestone among the piano concertos of all composers. Only an exceptional pianist like Yuja Wang can convey its beauty. She is the measure of all things when it comes to virtuosity on the piano. Everything is just right here. Technique, timing, expression, dynamics, sensitivity. She plays the second movement simply breathtakingly beautiful and moving. What an exquisite orchestra. What a wonderful conductor. What a world class pianist. What a great concert..!

I don't know anything about classical music, I don't know this pianist. But I know this concerto because it hits me to my soul. There is nothing like it, I can't explain it. I am moved and overwhelmed whenever I hear it. It's a journey to somewhere, I don't even know where. All I know is I expend every emotion along the way. This is a beautiful version of the most beautiful bit of music I've ever heard in my life.

Welcome to the world of Yuja Wang... Once captured we can never say goodbye.❤ ... Enjoy her Prokofiev too..

I think the reason Yuja Wang performs so exquisitely is because of her deep emotional connection to the music. It is apparent in her facial expressions and the movement of her body; she is living deeply in the music. She doesn't play the music; she travels into it. She becomes the music. A concert for her is not another day at the office, it's when she is most alive. And the rest of us get to listen to the magnificent result.

Rachmaninoff was brilliant. I honestly think he heard music from Heaven and shared it with us. Heavenly; heart-touching; soul healing; majestical music 🎵🎶

To begin to understand this piece you have to understand how it came to be. Rachmaninov had endured a disastrous opening from reasons that are still disputed. Following that intense depression prevented him from composing. After working with a psychotherapist he was able to compose. The result was his 2nd Concerto for Piano and Orchestra. The most beloved in the romantic repertoire. This piece is a beautiful gift and serves as his triumphant return to composition. ❤❤❤

You are so correct. The dark clouds lifted and this magnificent work was born. I do not feel that it was fully reflected on this performance, which was too focused on the technicalities.

I especially love the back story - as I recall it. That fairly young Rachmaninoff put his heart into his first symphony and it was very poorly received by the critics. A failure. He went into a depression of some kind. Someone got him associated with a psychiatrist/psychologist (talk therapy) who kept motivating him to begin his next piece. It was Piano Concerto #2 - and the entire piece reflects his journey out of those doldrums. A piece that speaks for all of humanity overcoming failure and turning loss into greatness. A song for all of us. I have heard this piece numerous times including quite a number at the symphony by various pianists. I even play a few pages of it on the piano - a wonderful feeling to experience - as though connected to Rachmaninoff through the hands, the piano and the feeling of the song Having said that, for me this performance by Wang, the conductor especially and the orchestra IS the best interpretation in my opinion. So many rich subtleties brought out.

Her fingers are like ballerinas on the keys. Her intense concentration and involvement are a beauty to behold . The music is beyond emotionally engrossing.

Her clarity,intensity,and interpretation of the music is exceptional. No theatrics! No arms flying around,or bushy,unkempt hair tossing. Yuja's face and hands say it all! Truly the entire package!

I've seen Yuja in interviews. She is always smiling and upbeat, actually bubbly in her personality. Then when she goes before the piano and begins to perform, it seems that she is transformed, almost as if one of the great composers like Rachmaninov has entered her soul and taken over. You can see it in her expressions and concentration, a total absorption of the music. What is even better is that she takes us along for the ride.

It's cold, wet and dark outside, the curtains are drawn and you stick Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No.2 on the turntable (yes, vinyl). You turn the lights off and sink back into a reclining armchair, the only light comes from the glow of the fire. You're alone with thoughts of people, places and events that have been important in your life.... then you wake up. You realise you fell into reverie at some point during the second movement. So you play it again wanting to hear the whole of the concerto uninterrupted. After all, it's Rachmaninoff's 'No.2' - nothing else will do.

5:50 to me, this is what melancholy and happiness sound like. I think it's because of how well the violins and the piano mix together. The violins sound bittersweet, but the piano adds another layer of complexity to it, their synergy is immaculate. I came here because Mao Asada skated to this for her free skate at Sochi 2014, and out of all the different pianists who popped up after searching it up, I specifically clicked on this video because I saw that Yuja wang was the one performing it, and I had a slight memory of her bowing compilation on TikTok. I knew the amount of passion she had just from watching her bow to the audience, and I'm going to be honest, I kind of got teary eyed while listening to this!

I’m a week ahead and asking myself the same question. Finding Yuja all started with me pulling into a parking lot and hearing Rhapsody in Blue on the radio. It’s rekindled my love for classical music.

She’s a GOAT 🤯🐐 just discovered her today

In my view, she is the greatest talent of her generation and one of the finest pianists of all time. Underpinned by ludicrous technique, the expression and emotion in her playing is just awe-inspiring. Amazing.

This performance captures all the nuances of Rachmaninoff - the passionm, the romance and the sadness all combined! Magnificent!!!

This is one of the few musical pieces that I can play over and over and over again, and never tire. And she does it grand!

Sergei says at the beginning… “ the troops are coming…here’s the quick version of the drama.” He finds more time and we endure the majesty and misery like absolutely no one else can tell/live this. Oh and long live Queen Yuja

❤she feels every single note through her body, a gift straight from spirit, remarkable ❤l could listen to her forever, so uplifting in this sad world ❤❤❤

Love the smile, she's really enjoying the performance. Bless her ⚘️🎶

Yuja Wang is one of the greatest pianists of all time.

4:17 - 4:37 is so beautiful and romantic. I feel like it’s not talked about enough!!

Music can do so many things. For example: heal a broken heart, help someone to make the right decision, beeing a companion in perhaps hard times, help us to see the underlying circumstances in something that is totally messed up. And so on. Or like here, for me: A total enjoying of the musical qualities of this playing. Thank you Yuja Wang, Valery Gergiev and Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra.

from 19:00 to 22:00 is my favorite section of music ever. makes me cry everytime. what a pleasure to hear such music.

The most beautiful Rach concert in my opinion. Therefore, I have spent the evening listening to the same piano concerto with four other (female) pianists. All performances had their merits. But no one can interpret all the emotions that this work contains like Yuja Wang, nor does anyone seem to enjoy the concert as much as she does. That alone enhances the pleasure I experience when I watch and listen to Yuja.

Yuja Wang is much more than a technical freak of nature. She truly understands the hidden mechanics and meaning behind the notes. Very mature renditions.

THESE EXTRAORDINARY DIFFICULT PIECES THAT THESE PRODIGIES SEEM TO JUST SAIL & GLIDE THRU....UNBELIEVABLE!!! YUJA'S GOWN IS VERY PRETTY .

Ever so many years ago, I rented a Lincoln Town Car for a week's vacation when they were running a special. On the way back to Las Vegas from Laughlin on a dark night, I put the cassette, yes, cassette, in the player on the car. I inserted the Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2 by the Cleveland Orchestra and the music began to play. It was an experience I'll always remember. I just happened to run across a blurb a few days ago that Yuga is performing in China this week. Wouldn't it be a dream for my Chinese wife and me to attend one of her live performances. Dream on! I'll just have to be content to listen to her recorded music and watching her on You Tube. Happy holidays to all of you.

Thank you, Peter Chen, for this Christmas gift! I heard it live in Münich at the "Klassik Open Air am Odeonsplatz" in July. With Münchner Philharmoniker unter the baton of Lorenzo Viotti it was incredible good, but this one with Gergiev is even better. Yuja and Gergiev are really the best team for Rachmaninoff. Rachmaninoff was well known for his unpretentious, tasteful playing without any mannerisms or romanticisms but with deep honest emotions...like Yuja! This rendition really is the greatest Rach2 I ever heard.

Ms. Yuja Wang is maturing wonderfully as a really great pianist . Life itself, when viewed accordingly, can afford great insight, in het case, to a deeper "feel" for the music she performs Her greater focus on the art itself and less on the visual aspect of her performance is a testemony of her growth. ( She is no less pleasant to the eyes, quite the contrary, but in a more mature, deep, lasting way ! )

Слов нет никаких. Так блестяше сыграть это концерт- фантастика. Это же как надо чувствовать С. Рахманинова. Гергиев- гений.

Scintillating performance....extraordinary technique in the faster passages, and wonderful sensitive phrasing in the slower passages. I love Yuja's wry smile at 27:27 after getting through what is a very tricky passage (light on notes, but evenness and accuracy essential).

But then I heard Yeol Eum Son in this, and now I am nor sure...

Браво ЮЯ! Браво дирижор и оркестр! Браво композитор Сергей Рахманинов концерт 2! Спасибо!

It’s simply impossible to play this any better. Absolutely wonderful ❤

Можно сыграть лучше и вызвать более глубокие переживания и эмоции у слушателей. Найдите на уou tube --- Alexander Malofeev(15 y.o) S. Rachmaninoff. Piano Concerto No.2 Baltic Sea Philharmonic, August 2017

Super piano performance. Her technique is in automatic pilot, but her interpretation and emotional expression are just right. The orchestra is also in auto pilot lacking a tight direction from the conductor. Overall, it is an excellent performance.

My god. What a start to a piece of music.

Clap harder! Yuja is masterful and bright. Leading, but not forcing the piece forward. The conductor is amazing. A great recording. Some recordings of this concerto prove how easy it is to be good, but not great in terms of pacing and understanding the complete composition’s emotional resonance. Amazing.

Simply love this concerto, especially the theme toward the end. Beautifully played. Brava
