The rapturous applause she receives worldwide never seems to go to her head. Never a hint of arrogance or vanity. She just seems to delight in giving please to every audience.
@@stepaushi Should she come on stage in a potato sack? Here in the city where Yuja's career began, you meet her jogging or walking around the lake. Like Tina Turner, who was shopping at the fair with her cook, modest, cheerful and, if you couldn't help but speak to her, still politely.
Yuja Wang doing Art Tatum! Brilliant. I didn't know that unitl the end when the narrator mentioned it, but in listening I was thinking of Oscar Peterson, who was also, by the by, a huge fan of Art Tatum. I love it that Wang doesn't limit herself to one sort of music, but plays it all, and even improvises. A person who loves music.
Have you heard his original improvisation, which this is a transcript of? Now That IS amazing! ( It's on Yt somewhere - or used to be at least). He's not one of the best jazz pianists of all time - Jazzers agree he was THE best jazz pianist of all time ( and Oscar Peterson would agree with that were he able to do so I'm sure). That is not to down play or diminish YW's performance - just to give him the proper credit - he was the most amazing improviser ever.
@@robertdavidson8028 Yes of course. I love Fats’ original version, in fact I grew up listening to Fats’ vinyl as my Dad was a huge fan of his. Loved “My very good friend the milkman, Your feet’s too big, Sit right down and write myself a letter” and many more. In fact Fats’ playing inspired me to learn the piano, particularly stride, but I never got beyond the Scott Joplin tunes. Fats is on another level. I love the fact that Yuja; one of (if not ‘the’) worlds best classical pianists honoured this Fats standard - he’d have loved that! If you like stride you may enjoy Stephanie Trick who has lots on YT.
I commend Yuja's unorthodox subscription to this jazz encore -- a somewhat bold move on the classical stage. I am proud of her to have featured this transcription of Art Tatum, the indisputable king of keyboard jazz, and arguably the greatest piano virtuoso of recorded history.
@jazzgal5631 Haha! You're correct. She did make a few errors. But who doesn't? I am way beyond the musical milestone of measuring pianistic or musical proficiency by a performer's technical accuracy. I rather commend her boldness and bravery, not to mention her overall remarkable musicianship, particularly given the penchant of so many of today's virtuosos to merely "showboat" their technical prowess at the expense of any musical sensibilities they might otherwise possess.
Amazing and wonderful, as somebody already said, it brings a smile to you face!! I wonder how somebody that loves music can have any critic on anything Yuja Wang does?? I pity them and the people around those. Can't you simply admire and enjoy perfectness?? I love every thing yuja wang does, because she is a real musician, talented and assume work very hard, to sound so beautiful!! Bravo!!!
Nice thing about music, that it has no borders, in any country, culture, Music Lovers can feel together the beauty and emotion of good music performed by excellent musicians@@ГалинаОслон
To think I only came upon this now. But MAN this is beautiful. It really makes you look at how much skill it takes to play Stride. Not to mention covers by Art Tatum. From Oscar Peterson's interview with Dick Cavett, he talks about the pianist having to play the rhythm/backing with their left hand. And with the concert piano in the hall you can hear that more clearly than ever.
Cette personne est un génie qui a quelque chose d'universel. Son cerveau est une encyclopédie. Mais ça ne suffit pas à créer de la poésie l'encyclopédie. En déroutant avec ses tenues étonnantes elle montre je crois que la musique habite tout son corps. Et son visage ! Ses lèvres vivent aussi. Merci grande et belle dame. J'ai 70 ans. Je n'avais encore jamais reçu la musique de cette façon.
Being an ardent Art Tatum fan since the mid-sixties, I applaud the marvellous Yuja for bringing his 1932 improvisation of Tea For Two to the attention of the hugely appreciative Proms audience. As for the foolish critic who lamentedly condemned her for playing this ‘palm court teatime pianist’ piece I have two questions. Where is such a pianist who could play this piece of such fiendish difficulty that it defeated the great Horowitz’s attempts to emulate it ? Is he still a critic?
Eres maravillosa,mosart estaría feliz de escucharte y ver lo que haces con su música ,un abrazo de un ferviente admirador de tu talento,Juan Eudes Rodríguez de berruecos arboleda Nariño Colombia ❤❤❤.
Many comments understandably assume she was improvising based on the theme - Tea Fwo Two - rather this is an exact copy of an Art Tatum recording. Tatum was capable of playing Tea For Two in an endless variety of ways off the top of his head.
Right, she learned from the partiture that you can find everywhere and this is the easiest among the Art Tatum 's versions but she is already struggling even with a slower tempo.
Art Tatum is one legend. Yuja Wang is another, in this case, she is a legend of my time, and accessible to me. I have seen Yuja Wang twice in concert (Covid intervened) and she is emotionally stunning.
Art Tatum was truly a giant of the piano. Rachmaninoff said if he were to go classical from jazz, "we'd all be in trouble". This arrangement is from Art Tatum and Yuja Wang plays it absolutely beautifully.
@@beckerhanshermann8372 I can guide you if you want some more Yuja Wang conserts to criticize. For example this one: Rachmaninoff third piano consert with Zubin Mehta as conductor at the Verbier Festival 2023! You haven´t yet made your point clear in this one. But I can for sure imagine what you will write.
Immaculate and if she ever made the slightest mistake even time-lapse photography couldn't detect it. She is incredible and how she handles the stress of such performance is beyond my comprehension.
@@yosserc: Well, I had to get up and dance, so I think that's a testament to Yuja's lively performance. And playing Tatum note for note is a kind of homage from a classical pianist to the greatest jazz pianist of all time . . .

But I will have to go back and listen to the Tatum version. and for those that dont know, Tatum not only came up with these fantastic arrangements and played them flawlessly, but he did so despite being blind.
She is an excellent musician and does a decent job getting the old timey stride feel. And yeah some Tatum and Teddy Wilson influence in her fine playing.
What an encore. Such a great performer, we are lucky to live in the same era.
The rapturous applause she receives worldwide never seems to go to her head. Never a hint of arrogance or vanity. She just seems to delight in giving please to every audience.

Шикарно! Непринужденно, игриво, легко! Юджа - супер!!
One of the most beautiful and emotional musical parts
Un morceau d'anthologie magnifiquement interprété c'est un moment de grace merci👏👏💐
God! How good she is, she doesn't play the piano, she moves through it almost flying over the keys.
I could always be listening to it.
I adore her.
It's called tinkling i.e playing with a very light touch.
Jaw-dropping! I think even Fats Waller would have been awe-struck by this rendition - remarkable!

A Classical trained pianist attempting Art Tatum's Tea for Two. WOW!
Profoundly beautiful, such accuracy. I thank God for this talent we get to witness.
Such talent,I wish I was there,God bless you
She left me breathless at the rate her fingers run over the ivories, doing it with so much poise and control. Stupendous!

Wonderfull 😊
Looking and sounding better than ever.
I have just discovered Yuja nd I fid her to be refreshingly brilliant!
Thanks for sharing!!!😍😍

Impresionante. Que forma de tocar

Yuja Wang is absolutely perfect in every way.
I just grin when I listen to this.
Yes, you feel happy and lighthearted when you listen to this. It's wonderful ! Thank you so much !
Generational talent and one of the sexiest females on earth
I love her clothes!
Yuja Wang for me.
Tatum is looking down from the heavens with a lovely chub...
adorable
She dresses like a Marvel superhero - one who plays the piano really well.
Interesting observation on dress.
Some complain that her wardrobe choices are a distraction, and disvalue her playing.
1:55 that face expression though
she's cattier than my cat. I love her!
Aws😮me!!!
