    I've been playing piano, classically trained, for almost 50 years. I believe I have earned the right to have an opinion as to the "greatness" of a pianist. Yuja is an incredibly gifted and passionate pianist whose interpretation of Rach 2 is refreshing. People who criticize either do not truly know or understand music from the perspective of the pianist or they are just cruel and jealous of the talent others possess.
    Many people may think people are merely born with a gift. Yes it's true there MUST be a certain amount of raw, natural talent involved - this is obvious - but what people don't see are the thousands and thousands of hours one practices to achieve greatness. It's a discipline most are never willing or capable of achieving. So a word to "critics"....once you are honestly able to say you spent your childhood, teen years, and many adult years hovering over a keyboard of other musical instrument, playing until your hands hurt, wanting to stop yet can't stop because the passion that compels you to play exceeds any physical pain or social price you pay for missing out on many things..hen you can have a platform and a right to criticize a true musician.
    Until then, you need to be very careful. When one lays their hands on a musical instrument to play in front of others- they are actually laying their soul bare to show the world. It's a vulnerability few can ever understand and certainly something small minded people can not respect.

    I was gonna write three pages, but I'll try not to. I heard Ms. Wang, unexpectedly, playing with the NJSO at NJPAC. i always thought this Schumann concerto was hard; she made the music come through with no visible effort. And then, as proof that she is not a snob, she played us SIX (6) encores, including the incredibly difficult Horowitz Carmen Variations. It is incidental that she is physically superbly beautiful. If you ain't heard her, now that Covid is being overcome, you will have your chance. You'll be glad if you take it. I salute you, Ms. Wang, and I wish you all happiness.

    Before Yuja starts actually playing the next movement at around 15:15 Yuja gently strokes the keys a few times and seems to maybe speak softly, pray perhaps or even converse with the Steinway - "Come, my beauty. Let us make magic!" Sometimes there's beautiful music even when Yuja is not actually playing. There are moments where I think Yuja's going to burst into tears .... or maybe it's really me. I shall be most fortunate if ever I can love the piano the way Yuja does.♥

      Thank you William for saying that. I have seen/heard Miss Yang perform 12 different piano concertos and this may be my favorite concerto for beauty. But in all she proves to be, in your words, in a class all by herself. For matchless technique and virtuosity you might want to hear her play the Prokofiev Toccata. Few pianists will even attempt to play this fiendishly difficult piece. On top of everything she shows herself in interviews to be a wonderfully natural unassuming person with the cutest sense of humor.

    A pianist myself (though not where NEAR this level) I have had my eye on her for years. I thought she was a little "icy" when she was younger, which is to be expected. She has grown SO much as a musician, and her technique is (still) flawless. I would love to hear her play when she is in her 70's and see her progression. I'll be long dead by that point, but maybe I can listen in!

      Frank Skoda-Simmons : Just as a matter of interest: I think Yuja is a lovely person but plays some works that require more maturity. For example, we heard her play Schumann’s Ètudes Symphoniques; I thought it a great shame that her teacher let her loose on it. She simply hasn’t a clue yet and needs to wait just a few more years and do more study of western music.

    I was so lucky to hear and see this live in Dresden and Munich last year. An elder woman in the audience told me she heard nearly all pianists playing live her favorite piano concerto and Yuja's interpretation was the best, even "better" than Dinu Lipatti. I can agree absolutely. Romantic without getting "cheesy", clear, brillant and sometimes I was remembered to a playing instruction by Anton Webern : "wie ein Hauch", "like a wisp".....and all this with Yuja's good taste! Brava!!!

    Looking at her face during the quiet passages, it seems Ms. Wang being caressed by the music. Or is the music caressing her? At the start of the second movement, around 15:00, Juja is actually caressing the piano keys.

    One of the most beautiful piano concertos I’ve ever heard! The Schumanns had an amazing taste for writing music and Yuja does a fantastic job displaying that!

    I did see criticism of her and wonder how much actual knowledge the critics posses, I am a pianist myself and close to watch last 50 years performances, she is the greatest talent with technics far above humanly possible. Critics can learn first about piano, what make a performer unique and also history of composer with history of the greatest instruments too. Comments about her dress must to be posted by fat asses jealous of her incredible talents. God bless you yuja for the work you put it in and developing the most amazing pieces. Nobody come close to your title- queen of piano❤️🎹❤️

Trata-se de uma linda e jovem mulher! Que pecado ou que mal há em ser bela, talentosa e o que poucos lembram: uma mulher talentosa e humilde!

    So beautiful! This is a tricky piece to perform successfully, in my opinion. She aces the bravura passages, makes the most of the lyricism and captures the chamber-music like passages. Bravo to Maestro Viotti and the Wiener Symphoniker for truly collaborating with Ms. Wang.

    Oh my word, I have been listening to this concerto for more years than I care to remember. When I saw Yuja playing it I knew that it would be a capable performance but would she capture the emotion and the magic? Well, yes she did, and even more so. I knew I liked it by the end of the first movement but when she started the second I realized that I was witnessing true greatness. This woman is truly spectacular and this interpretation is truly magical. An astounding performance of my favourite ever concerto. This will remain one of my favourites for ever!

    The first movement of this concerto can often feel long and drawn out, especially after hearing it fifty times or more. This is a very nuanced performance that keeps one interested. It has a feeling of "newness", as in "What is she gonna do next?"

    Wat een fenomenale vertolking van dit concerto. Ik kende Yuja Wang al heel lang als een pianiste met een fabelachtige techniek maar ook de muzikaliteit die ze hier tentoon spreidt is van een ongezien niveau. Een heel eigen interpretatie met prachtig ingehouden rubato's, feilloze tempowisselingen, prachtig in dialoog met het orkest en ontroerend mooi heel het concerto door. Vooral het tweede deel werd op een hele fragiele en pakkende wijze gebracht. In de spetterende finale liet zij ons opnieuw heel haar kunnen bewonderen. Zij bracht dit veel gespeelde concerto door haar interpretatie terug tot een "nieuw" leven. Ook een prachtprestatie van dit top symfonisch orkest wat haar tot deze prestatie stuwde. Puur genot!

    Yuja is quite the Marvel. Her instincts guide her effortlessly through the music. Lashings of gusto pours out like hot borscht one moment followed by sensitivity only known to few humans the next. There is no doubt that Robert Schumann looks down with a smile on his face knowing that his creation still captures hearts and souls around the word. How beautiful and amazing is that!

    I agree with every last Yuja superlative. I think kudos also to the conductor. He masterfully balanced the orchestra volume and the piano so that not only did we hear the nuances in Yuja's wonderful performance but also some of the individual instruments in the orchestra, at places where the melody is being traded back and forth. Bravo!

    Концерт Шумана для фортепиано с оркестром в А-миноре (Опус 54) один из прекраснейших, который я слышал. А слушал я многие Концерты. Музыка этого Концерта лирична, изящна, глубоко чувственная, насыщенная редкими нюансами, чередованиями форте и пиано, которые обогащают восприятие и вызывают необыкновенные эмоции! Концерт богат необыкновенно красивыми мелодиями, ставящими эту Музыку в ряд величайших! Очень хорошая оркестровка, поддерживающая солирующий рояль и красиво перекликающаяся с ним.
    Исполнение Концерта безукоризненное!
    Юйцзя Ван, на мой взгляд, гениальная пианистка, обладающая виртуозной техникой и глубоко чувствующая музыкальный материал. Я поцеловал бы каждый её ненакрашенный пальчик за его труд и искусство, не знающее себе равных!
    Оркестр изумительный! Замечательное исполнение! И дирижёр достоин восхищения! Спасибо за доставленное удовольствие! Мои наилучшие пожелания всем исполнителям!
