I see that so many people criticize her unfairly because she doesn't play things as impressively fast as so many other performers who have set such a tasteless trend. I find Yulianna's sound so beautiful and pure. She always seems to solve the difficult passages in the most musical way, not just in a mechanical way like so many other "famous" performers. It's truly refreshing to listen to such musical renditions, and not the standard machine-like interpretations that lack the human component.
David Troya I couldn't agree more, I prefer they way she plays it over other legends. I like where she adds the slow but still gives us punch where we need it and great feeling throughout. My favorite Chopin to listen to honestly.
Jacob McKarthern Nobody here is defending her honor, merely sharing our thoughts about an undoubtedly great pianist. If you don't like the way she plays that's totally fair, I'm certainly not going to say it's because she's a woman or that you should for any reason. I like it, it's that simple, it has zero to do with defending her. Maybe you should look up the definition of "White Knight", it certainly doesn't fit in this context.
The point is that her interpretation is absurdly non-standard. It is as if she took Chopin's work entirely for herself, it is undoubtedly very bold. The adages he plunges into an intimate reflection with the author. Bright!
Here's a story. One day I went on an all night tour through several museums in a city in Germany, Nacht der Museen, they do this is different cities. At the end of the long, long night, we went out partying and I went home with a buddy to crash on his sofa. Only thing was, I had a ticket to see Avdeeva in a matinée and I really didn't want to cancel. It was not long after her winning the Chopin Competition. So there I was, full of art and hungover as hell, listening to her on a Steinway that was tuned to be bassy to the max. I had such an experience. My head was ringing in the best way, I felt the music in my spine, I don't know if she was on top form that day, but whatever she was giving, I was ready to accept. Amazing artist, humble and patient with us audience members in a Q&A session after the concert, very generous. I believe she plays things intentionally, this is how she wants to do those, not out of some misplaced beliefs in her technique or anything. This is her expression. You accept her point of view or you skip her concerts and watch other artists.
Every time I listen to her version, I feel such heaviness in her musical emotion yet it isn’t the draggy and sluggish kind, but the kind that almost makes you feel nostalgic, like you are thinking about an old friend. And the lighter sections are so brilliant, almost like you are reminiscing your childhood. Just incredible…
It was an incredible performance. The first movement, which is full of excitement, could not let go of the tension all the time. It was perfect. The highlight is the 3rd movement. Her performance was so deep and beautiful that I couldn't breathe.
I would like to repeat/to quote: She masters golden sound of the piano, she is in outstanding shape and the interpretation is brilliant. She is the best!
Yulianna Avdeeva's performance is so edgy and marvellous that I am truly enraptured by it. She literally lives in the moment of the music as she performs it. I have listened to a plethora of other performances, but her's has become my all out favorite; it'e scintillating and 'edge of the seat' for me, to say the least! Her dynamics, phrasing, pedalling, rubatos, evocative sonorities(particularly in the funeral march), voicing and tonality create an atmospheric listening experience.
@@alanleoneldavid1787 I will listen to these two, but I doubt Argerich, I never felt any emotion when listening to her play, I am just impressed by her technique.
@@alanleoneldavid1787 I listened to Bunin, it's wonderful, the third movement is a sweet and beautiful sing in the lyrical part, fantastic legato that only Henrich Neuhaus can match.poetic, the second movement is very interesting, but in the third and fourth movement is where I think it manages to surpass Yulianna, but I still think Yulianna is the best, and He brings up many things that Yulianna doesn't bring up, but it's a totally different vision and perspective of the music, now Martha Argerich I only found the first and last movement interesting.
믿을수가 없네요.. 왼손과 오른손의 밸런스 조화, 그녀만의 노래하는 방법이랄까 .. 감성이랄까... 그런 특별한 마법이 존재하는거같아요.. 1악장 하이라이트로 나아가는 과정, 하이라이트에서 완전히 소름돋았네요... 그녀만의 음을 다루는 타이밍이라던지, 소리내는방법(힘을 그녀만의 방법으로 주는듯..) 매우 독특하면서도 존경스럽습니다. 이것이 당시 쇼팽콩쿨 심사위원이 원하던 음악성이었기에 우승할 수 있었지 않았을까 싶습니다
She is impressive,unique and wonderful and I have just listened to this Sonata 5 times by 5 different artists old and new all are impressive ..by simple amount of exposure Horowitz is my favorite and this performance had some of the qualities of a Horowitz redition with the powerful driving left hand ...I like her interpretation very much....I have recently been listening to this Sonata so much I really love the emotionalism in it..and one would think as much as I have listened to it I would be sick of it but I keep hearing something greater and greater and more meaningful...it has even inspired me to try and learn parts of this...this might sound silly to say but seeing these young people and listening to this particular performance restores my faith in humanity..of which I have been very cynical of lately.
Krystian Zimerman was not mistaken giving Her special prize for this Sonata. Neither were the members of the Jury in 2010! Her brilliant career has proved it beyond doubt! Yulianna is a great pianistic phenomenon!
@@rachmaninoffenthusiast5563 Krystian Zimerman only provides the money for this award. The jury actually picks the artist who should receive it. That’s the fact.
The moment the third movement started, my eyes filled with tears and I got chills all over my body. I could not take my eyes off the screen for the rest of the video. I have heard the Sonata so many times but this performance truly is special. Thank you so much.
This is a gorgeous performance. I think one of the secrets to a successful Chopin performance is to make apparent the anxiety that underpins so many of his pieces. This performance isn't just beautiful, it sets me on edge -- which is what Chopin may have intended. The man was ill almost every day of his adult life, had a fragile temperament, and the act of composing for him was torment. If you listen carefully all of this is apparent.
@@DariusMo I was just watching his Sonata before Ms. Avdeeva. Her performance was amazing, of course but his performance was just tear jerking experience. He captures that immaculate feeling of tortured yet sensitive soul of Chopin.
@@DavidSmith-ki2we Looking back, whilst Cho's interpretation is obviously great, I found even more interpretations to share: Pogorelich, Andsnes, Kissin and Gadjiev (his 3rd movement is absolutely ethereal). Have a listen, those interpretations are vastly different from Cho's (and from eachother) but they still have some amazing qualities!
An outstanding performance. Her performances are always honest, full of character, and are truly and authentically 100% Yulianna (for lack of a better description). I always come back to this.
bl00dwork I might not appeal to your taste, personally. But, structurally, it undeniably serves a purpose, considering the first exposition remains incomplete without it. Also, Chopin himself notated it so; excluding the introduction was a trend amongst editors who, IMO, did not understand the piece.

@@10mimu Correct me if I'm wrong but I am pretty sure that the inclusion of the introduction was actually a misprint of Brahms' edition. And once again IMO I don't think she automatically is a 'true artist' just because she repeated something that is quite common within some editions. Also I personally don't think she deserved the first place (as I found Wunder's concerto much better!).
bl00dwork You are certainly referring to the Breitkopf und Hartel edition, which yes, it included the exposition. Most major European cities did so; it was, however, in Leipzig that it was printed with the recapitulation starting at Doppio Movimiento, and somehow it became common to follow. I am sure you have reason to think of her undeserving of the prize; however, I think most artists pander to a tradition which, in this case, is of not including the exposition. A true artist, imo, should seek first and foremost the composer's interpretative ideal in order to develop authentic style. They may depart, if they both feel the aesthetic necessity and technical reasons, from the original intention. But most people follow these radical transformations of performance from what is commonly perpetrated; either because great performers popularized or because of casual errors as in this case. Either way, I think artists should seek some degree of autonomy.
@@DariusMo It felt a bit jarring to me in this particular performance, but it makes perfect sense harmonically. A piano teacher of mine truly deplores that Chopin marked for this exposition to be repeated at all, but I would try to figure out what was in the manuscript and do the repeat whichever way seemed more plausible. All repeats matter. In related news, I used to like Rudolf Serkin's practice of repeating back the Grave in Beethoven's Opus 13, but now I think it lessens the shock of the Grave coming back at the beginning of the development section.
Bravo! Excellent performance. More importantly, thanks for not rushing through this, but really interpreting the complexity of this wonderful piece of disturbingly emotional music. You will not only win prizes, but many hearts in the future sharing your music. Thank you!
She absolutely deserved the first prize! There's no doubt about that. Most of the competioners tried to show up their technique and she just played music!
I had to learn that piece for my MM recital! It is a monster! It wears you down physically and especially emotionally! And she rocks every split second of it!! The drama, the tears, the funeral march seen thru a beautiful veil of fond memories, the tumultuous and tragically lonely ending.... all done masterfully! She made my spine tingle!!💜
She is very daring interpretatively. His interpretation sometimes shows us a completely new side of Chopin's work. It had everything to go wrong, but it was great.
The audience so wanted to applaud at the end! I love that weird and wonderful final movement. It sounds like Chopin doing some free impro. A masterpiece of a Romantic sonata.
I have heard so many famous artists do this sonata, and just assumed it was one of the less exciting pieces from Chopin. This performance gives the piece life! Amazing interpretation.
She masters golden sound of the piano, she is in outstanding shape and the interpretation is brilliant. However it must be taken into account that she is in competition. No place for poetry rejoice and delightful freedom more indicated for friendly concert halls. I think young pianists have much more to demonstrate than thirty years ago. They have lots of video recordings available of live performances, and they are and will be compared with all their predecessors studio recordings and memorable performances.
TH-cam critics commenting about how she played this and how she played that and that's why so and so should have won. But they are referencing like the 13th edition edited for easier playing. She is playing the pieces as they were originally written. And I enjoyed every minute of it.
She’s extraordinary! Detractors here need to get an education. Everything is there: gorgeous tone, endless facility and a musicality that the speed freaks just gloss over or fake.
This Yamaha Grand Piano is very well in the treble (a little less strident, as is characteristic of the brand), the basses are fine, with a few notes leaving something to be desired.
Some controversy in the commentary section about the quality of the Yamaha sound. There's some problems with the recording setup at the louder passages, certainly not the piano. It feels like digital distortion.
How come nobody is clapping after such an amazing performance?? Or everybody instructed not to clap?? Screw these rules! She deserves great support and appreciation after performance like that one!
korglove The rule is to clap when the performer has finished their recital, which I think is appropriate for the contestant to be able to stay concentrated. Yulianna played the Polonaise Fantasy after this and I think got a round of applause that was quite enthusiastic. Not to mention, the jury gave her the Best Sonata Prize for this performance. So don’t worry, she got the support she deserved (at the time, at least).
The best argument for her is that people that the jury thought she was the best Chopin player of the competition. However, it came at an expense for the competition (and we will see with the latest player as well) - whether the player will be a world class pianist overall like so many previous Chopin winners. So far, atleast two other competitrors in this competition have received more attention (and performances) than the winner of this competition. One of which won the other most major piano competition and is a household name throughout the world somehow. How I miss the days of Ashkenazy, Argerich, Pollini, Zimerman, and even Ohlson. Since then it seems like there has been a major drop off with the exception of Bunin - who for whatever reason never really took off. But his Chopin 3rd Sonata from the Competition and some of his later recordings are first rate. And listening now to the 2nd movement of this Funderal March sonata - this certainly is not top notch Chopin playing. Very mundane.
I'm afraid that trending go on in the future, look at what young people are listening nowadays. For this piece, I think she played the first movement well, and then lost a bit energy afterwards (there is another video of her 1st movement only here on TH-cam and seems that one gained a lot more attention) I think she is a unique Chopin player, that can interpret Chopin in an Eastern Europe way which I find pretty rare, I like her ballad and mazurka pieces more :) She came to Seattle last year and the performance was absolutely outstanding!
And yet there is someone in the comments who said his piano teacher thought Chopin shouldn't have written the repeat of the exposition. The repeat is what makes the beginning of the development section so intense in this sonata. (Bars you mentioned)
@@organboi Yes indeed, who is any teacher next to Chopin? But I mean her way of playing is reminiscent of pianists born in the 19th century and way of playing, this Rubato, and tempo brings a lot of intensit.
Lumineux. AUCUNE ESBROUFE (pas trop rapide, pas de rubato aguicheur). Comme le disait Jeanne Moreau, l’interprète doit être comme un tuyau d’arrosage, propre, impeccable, pour bien porter l’eau jusqu’à la plante qui pousse, qui vit… en outre, c’est la 1ere fois que je comprends quelque chose au 4 e mouvement.
@@davidlilley2522 but some scores have the repeat go back to the Doppio movimento. It is confusing because the only Chopin sonata that I would not repeat the exposition is the B minor, because that would last 15 min with the repeat of the exposition

korglove The rule is to clap when the performer has finished their recital, which I think is appropriate for the contestant to be able to stay concentrated. Yulianna played the Polonaise Fantasy after this and I think got a round of applause that was quite enthusiastic. Not to mention, the jury gave her the Best Sonata Prize for this performance. So don’t worry, she got the support she deserved (at the time, at least).
The rule is insane.
She's a genius!
Chopin is the genius.
Несомненно плюс!=)
Very much not about putting on a show - just playing Chopin... nothing more nothing else... therefore no unnecessary pressure/stress put on herself :)
Chopin approved
Oooooooooooh she plays the exposition repeat from the very beginning! Bravo. Not many do.
She just want to repeat at first of music memory
매료 빠져듬 강렬한 이끌림
집중된 그녀의 완벽한 드라이빙 핑거링은
아름다운 고공비행의 달밤을 연상케 한다
Love it. You are simply brilliant. Just PPPUUUUUULLLLEEEEASE drop the funny faces!
Огромный плюс ,что слушает себя и живёт в музыке,хотя расчёт налицо ,технически ей трудно ,поэтому затягивает неестестественно.
Playing speed has nothing to do with how well you play!!
Um, yes it does.
Bravo!
Isso não foi uma perfomance, isso foi um canhão que ruge estrela em colapso.
wonderful
Best b flat minor sonata I’ve heard
Какая прелесть эта Юлиана!
정말 충격적인 연주네요, 특히 1악장은 쇼팽 콩쿠르 역대 최고 수준이라고 생각합니다
1악장은 신선한데 3악장이 좀 ‥
Love the yamaha cfx piano she performed well.😊
She is the best 😍😍😍😍
very delicate and very high tension ! !
Yes is so graceful!
best chopin sonata
정확하고 깔끔하고 딱 그런 스타일이 좋다
bravo!!!
The best argument for her is that people that the jury thought she was the best Chopin player of the competition. However, it came at an expense for the competition (and we will see with the latest player as well) - whether the player will be a world class pianist overall like so many previous Chopin winners. So far, atleast two other competitrors in this competition have received more attention (and performances) than the winner of this competition. One of which won the other most major piano competition and is a household name throughout the world somehow. How I miss the days of Ashkenazy, Argerich, Pollini, Zimerman, and even Ohlson. Since then it seems like there has been a major drop off with the exception of Bunin - who for whatever reason never really took off. But his Chopin 3rd Sonata from the Competition and some of his later recordings are first rate. And listening now to the 2nd movement of this Funderal March sonata - this certainly is not top notch Chopin playing. Very mundane.
I'm afraid that trending go on in the future, look at what young people are listening nowadays. For this piece, I think she played the first movement well, and then lost a bit energy afterwards (there is another video of her 1st movement only here on TH-cam and seems that one gained a lot more attention) I think she is a unique Chopin player, that can interpret Chopin in an Eastern Europe way which I find pretty rare, I like her ballad and mazurka pieces more :) She came to Seattle last year and the performance was absolutely outstanding!
Increíble
Nice sound from the yamaha
4:23-5:50 Best part for me... It's the most intense, passionate shit I've ever heard on the piano, infinite power.
And yet there is someone in the comments who said his piano teacher thought Chopin shouldn't have written the repeat of the exposition. The repeat is what makes the beginning of the development section so intense in this sonata. (Bars you mentioned)
@@organboi Yes indeed, who is any teacher next to Chopin? But I mean her way of playing is reminiscent of pianists born in the 19th century and way of playing, this Rubato, and tempo brings a lot of intensit.
Lumineux. AUCUNE ESBROUFE (pas trop rapide, pas de rubato aguicheur). Comme le disait Jeanne Moreau, l’interprète doit être comme un tuyau d’arrosage, propre, impeccable, pour bien porter l’eau jusqu’à la plante qui pousse, qui vit… en outre, c’est la 1ere fois que je comprends quelque chose au 4 e mouvement.
12:40 Mano, até o erro dela é bom cara.
Could someone provide the timestamps for the movements? Thank you!
2я часть все отдельно.Нет целого.
Why does the repeat go back to the Grave? I am so confused
Because that's how Chopin actually intended it.
@@davidlilley2522 but some scores have the repeat go back to the Doppio movimento. It is confusing because the only Chopin sonata that I would not repeat the exposition is the B minor, because that would last 15 min with the repeat of the exposition
@@GarensonicYou shouldn't take it upon yourself to eliminate exposition repeats. We have no right to re compose the master composers' works.
