I've been to Granada, the Alambra and the Generalife! Listening to this piece and Yuja's superb playing transports me magically to the "Gardens"! Yuja my Goddess!
If you look at Yuja Wang´s schedule of performances you will realize that she is gradually adding lots of experiences from different orchestras and composer, making her more and more a top artist. In this Spanish piece she shows her deep rooted muscality and great ability to play as a part of an ochestra. For me it is clear that Yuja Wang already has a World wide reputation as an artist of highest quality.
I recognize her as best piano performer. Specialy I can find that she put so much her heart and feelings in Rachmaninoff and Chopin music. Yes , she is very busy woman playing with all best orchestras around the world. She is not playing ...she tell the stories by using piano.
"Ночи в садах Испании" - гениальное произведение Мануэля де Фалья! И одно из моих любимейших произведений мировой классики, наполненное удивительно красивой испанской гармонией! Я получил большое удовлетворение от данного исполнения! Хотя, к сожалению, очень короткая интерпретация. На самом деле произведение гораздо длиннее. Блестящий японский оркестр! Великолепный дирижёр! А Юйцзя Ван, как всегда, исключительный пианист, обладающий виртуозной техникой и глубоким пониманием исполняемой ею Музыки! Спасибо ей, оркестру и дирижёру! Юрий Тригубенко. Архитектор из Харькова (Украина).
Yuja is tremendous - one of the best pianists ever. There are 100 mechanical parts between her fingers and the strings - no pianist can coax 'very crystal tone' or any tone out of a piano any more than two typists can coax two different fonts out of the same mechanical typewriter. This is a pervasive myth in the classical music world.
I am not a Yuja's follower as I think that she is more showbiz than music player. Tonight I have changed my mind. Simply wonderful this piece. Wonderful. Yuja, I am a new fan.
Es la mejor pianista de todos los tiempos....técnica exquisita....repertorio enorme y finalmente por su edad podemos disfrutarla muchos años como solista.
Yuja like any other artist works at her craft incredibly hard. Her physical beauty only enhances her virtuosity as a pianist. This is the first time I heard this piece by Manuel De Falla.
What are people so upset about her attire? She looks great, and it's not distracting. I'm a red-blooded male, and I'm listening to her great touch and tone and watching her fingers. Great performance - thanks for the post!
Its her hands (fingers) and her facial expressions that I find mesmerizing along with the energy she puts into her performances. The resulting music is powerful and beautiful as Yuja is herself.
La interpretación de Yuja Wang es perfecta... ver la expresión de su cara tocando el piano es emotivo. Me ha hecho sentir lo mismo que siento cuando escucho a Alicia de Larrocha.
Bellísima interpretación del compositor Manuel de Falla de las "Noches en los Jardines de España" y "En los jardines de la Sierra de Córdoba". Yuja Wang, , talento, pasión, maestría y belleza, Una de las mejores pianistas del mundo , nació en Pekín en 1.987 . Aplausos de admiración desde Bogotá, Colombia
Yuja Wang is the measure of all things in the entire world of classical pianists. Nobody can reach her incomprehensible technical perfection and her phenomenal expressiveness and stage presence.... nobody !!!
You like women, don't you...? Good for you. As far as her musicality and sensiteveness are concerned I'd say it's all too much for me to take. Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky- great ! For me she somehow lacks of delicate legato and in-depth understanding of more nostalgic and refined piano composers like Chopin for example. But I agree- she is a fantastic virtuoso and a charming pianist. Keep it up my friend !
Me encanta la figura, el talento y la habilidad de Yuja, en momentos la encuentro bella, cautivadora y sensual, en otros una dedicada artista y gran pianista profesional.
Hacía muchos, muchísimos años que no escuchaba esta obra magistral de Manuel de Falla tan bien ejecutada y dirigida... Capítulo aparte merece la joven pianista. Su figura tan atractiva alborota sin duda los sentidos de mucho público espectador en todas las salas de concierto donde se sienta frente al Stenway & Sons...pero la gran sorpresa nos la llevamos cuando notamos en su rostro los sentimientos y gran precisión con que ejecuta las teclas...se identifica con la obra de manera particularmente excepcional. Yuja Wang se ganó muy merecido el galardón de Músico del Año 2016!
@@nickturner2813 Don't be so sure. Years ago, I was at the Seattle airport and saw a young Asian woman carrying her violin case at the gate. (I think we were going to San Francisco). She was studying a score. I immediately recognized her. She was Sara Chang. I introduced myself to her and acknowledged that I recognized her. She was very warm and friendly. She said she was surprised because "classical musicians are very rarely recognized publicly." She told me that "she was grateful forever for her career, but traveling was exhausting and very hard on a person." I wished her well. In another situation, I have watched the career of the fantastically talented Yeol Eum Son, online. She is capable of playing anything and is truly a great artist. I saw her doing various concertos that were "murder" on the hands. I advised her online (with no expectation she would read my posts) to "ration" certain concertos that had the potential of destroying her hands and arms (Bartok, Prokofiev, etc.) I saw her "turning away" from these and doing much more Mozart, which she plays so beautifully. I have no idea if she read my posts, but it remains a possibility. I would not expect her to respond. Actions speak louder than words. Or so it seems. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
I am not worthy to clip her toenails...and I speak several foreign languages, attended university for nine years--and have the bible memorized (PSALM 118 is my Psalm, as is PSALM 11). I also slept in the middle of a big forest a summer and a winter long....a forest located in the center of a garden land. I also survived being struck by a car in heavy fog and thrown 64 feet. By some miracle, I survived. Thanks Yuja, just for being YOU. Sweet dreams!
Absolument irrésistible ! Quelle émotion de constater qu'à notre époque si étrange, une si jeune fille fait reculer les limites de la perfection. Bravos éperdus à Yuja Wang, comète fulgurante en même-temps qu'artiste profonde, réflechie autant que brillante, fragileautant qu'invincible !
La observo, y su expresión es la de una bailaora de flamenco. Es impresionante no solo la calidad, limpieza y pulcritud, sino que hace sonar a Falla cual español. ¡Bravo Yuja Wang!

I don't know whether Yuja is the B all and end all of classical pianists,but she sure knows how to sell a number. Just watching her face during a performance shows how she is completely immersed in the spirit of what I'm sure the composer is trying to convey to the audience. Now I'm even embarrassed to say that I OWN a piano let alone play it ??

ALEXANDER BOOT Author, critic, polemicist Blogs > Alexander's blog > Sex sells - all of us short Submitted by Alexander on 24 June 2013 - 12:59pm The other day I listened to something or other on TH-cam, and a link to Chopin’s Fourth Ballade performed by the Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili came up. The link was accompanied by a close-up publicity photo of the musician: sloe bedroom eyes, sensual semi-open lips suggesting a delight that’s still illegal in Alabama, naked shoulders hinting at the similarly nude rest of her body regrettably out of shot… Let me see where my wife is… Good, she isn’t looking over my shoulder, so I can admit to you that the picture got me excited in ways one doesn’t normally associate with Chopin’s Fourth Ballade or for that matter any other classical composition this side of Wagner or perhaps Ravel’s Bolero. Searching for a more traditional musical rapture I clicked on the actual clip and alas found it anticlimactic, as it were. Khatia’s playing, though competent, is as undeniably so-what as her voluptuous figure undeniably isn’t. (Yes, I know the photograph I mentioned doesn’t show much of her figure apart from the luscious shoulders but, the prurient side of my nature piqued, I did a bit of a web crawl.) Just for the hell of it I looked at the publicity shots of other currently active female musicians, such as Yuja Wang, Joanna MacGregor, Nicola Bendetti, Alison Balsom (nicknamed ‘crumpet with a trumpet’, her promos more often suggest ‘a strumpet with a trumpet’ instead), Anne-Sophie Mutter and a few others. They didn’t disappoint the Peeping Tom lurking under my aging surface. Just about all the photographs showed the ladies in various stages of undress, in bed, lying in suggestive poses on top of the piano, playing in frocks (if any) open to the coccyx in the back and/or to the navel up front. This is one thing these musicians have in common. The other is that none of them is all that good at her day job and some, such as Wang, are truly awful. Yet this doesn’t really matter either to them or to the public or, most important, to those who form the public tastes by writing about music and musicians. Thus, for example, a tabloid pundit expressing his heartfelt regret that Nicola Benedetti “won’t be posing for the lads’ mags anytime soon. Pity, because she looks fit as a fiddle…” Geddit? She’s a violinist, which is to say fiddler - well, you do get it. “But Nicola doesn’t always take the bonniest photo,” continues the writer, “she’s beaky in pics sometimes, which is weird because in the flesh she’s an absolute knock-out. “The classical musician is wearing skinny jeans which show off her long legs. She’s also busty with a washboard flat tummy, tottering around 5ft 10in in her Dune platform wedges.” How well does she play the violin though? No one cares. Not even critics writing for our broadsheets, who don’t mind talking about musicians in terms normally reserved for pole dancers. Thus for instance runs a review of a piano recital at Queen Elizabeth Hall, one of London’s top concert venues: “She is the most photogenic of players: young, pretty, bare-footed; and, with her long dark hair and exquisite strapless dress of dazzling white, not only seemed to imply that sexuality itself can make you a profound musician, but was a perfect visual complement to the sleek monochrome of a concert grand... [but] there’s more to her than meets the eye.” The male reader is clearly expected to get a stiffie trying to imagine what that might be. To help his imagination along, the piece is accompanied by a photo of the young lady in question reclining on her instrument in a pre-coital position with an unmistakable ‘come and get it’ expression on her face. The ‘monochrome’ piano is actually bright-red, a colour usually found not in concert halls but in dens of iniquity. Nowhere does the review mention the fact obvious to anyone with any taste for musical performance: the girl is so bad that she should indeed be playing in a brothel, rather than on the concert platform. Can you, in the wildest flight of fancy, imagine a reviewer talking in such terms about sublime women artists of the past, such as Myra Hess, Maria Yudina, Maria Grinberg, Clara Haskil, Marcelle Meyer, Marguerite Long, Kathleen Ferrier? Can you see any of them allowing themselves to be photographed in the style of “lads’ mags”? I can’t, which raises the inevitable question: what exactly has changed in the last say 70 years? The short answer is, just about everything. Concert organisers and impresarios, who used to be in the business because they loved music first and wanted to make a living second, now care about nothing but money. Critics, who used to have discernment and taste, now have nothing but greed and lust for popularity. The public… well, don’t get me started on that. The circle is vicious: because tasteless ignoramuses use every available medium to build up musical nonentities, nonentities is all we get. And because the musical nonentities have no artistic qualities to write about, the writing nonentities have to concentrate on the more jutting attractions, using a vocabulary typically found in “lads’ mags”. The adage “sex sells” used to be applied first to B-movies, then to B-novels, and now to real music. From “sex sells” it’s but a short distance to “only sex sells”. This distance has already been travelled - and we are all being sold short.
+Mario DiSarli Hola Mario! Tu amigovio fritz? Mueren de envidia de ver a la hermosa YUJA! Divina YUJA! Lástima que ustedes nacieron hombres y ella es una bella y auténtica mujer. Además, obvio, una de las mejores pianistas de este siglo.
+Mario DiSarli Obviously you are a old bug with 18th century's mentality and aesthetics. But any way, if you dressed up the sexiest way, can you play like this or get this popular? 仁者见仁，智者见智 (swine see everything as swine).
We all know that Yuja has a world-famous technique. But folks who are not closely familiar with "Nights" need to understand that it is very, very repetitive and requires a world class memory to memorize it. Many famous artists (unapologetically) use the music or a device that projects it on a screen in front of them, that they can change the page by touching the screen. This is not to criticize those artists. But to disclose to all of you that Yuja played this without the score. Daniel Barenboim uses the score to play it. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
I thought it worth highlighting this comment from one 'Paul Jones' from 8 months ago. It's an instructive piece to remind us all that the unfettered banner, and fetid smell of rampant racism is alive wherever freedom of expression allows it to wave, and to stink. Hold your noses everybody, for here it is... 'Pianists from non-Occidental countries should think twice about interpreting music outside their cultural zeitgeist. De Larrocha is THE performer for this piece; the standard bearer.' A technically perfect example of polished racism from Paul Jones (with apologies to all Welshmen for having had one of your most esteemed names taken by one so undeserving). Here is a man who is able to gratify his xenophobic appetite with the help of an amateur set of ears that, happily for him, don't second-guess his auditory illusions to alter the Hell-bound direction of his distorted moral compass. With the word 'zeitgeist' (which I doubt he really understands), he gives away his Naziform inclinations. Beautiful Alicia. I do apologize for this heathen's use of your name; you must be turning in your grave. Be still, my dear, and go back to enjoying the lovely Yuja, your new standard bearer. She plays de Falla so beautifully because, Alicia, she has studied you, she worships you, and has taken your Latin fire and injected it into the veins of those gorgeous hands. Oh G-d how I love your playing, Yuja!
There is much to admire here, she is growing in artistic maturity and exploring a wide range of repertoire. Pianistically she is outstanding and if I dare say also a glamorous presence onstage. Having said this I prefer to see her in more appropriate attire as seen here rather than in vampish mini skirts which can be a distraction.
+Meredith Foster Gaining greater artistic maturity:) Can you hear how that sounds? Like you,the clever intellectual judge can overview a geniuous, which she is. She already in an age in her early twenties made interpretations far beyond musicians much older. Like Mozart, Chopin, Horowits many others. Were perfect in an early age. genious' She is one of the best pianists of all times - also regarding interpretations. Listen to her playing woman. Scubert/Lizst. Prokofief which she has brought to a new level regarded impossible. Chopin. rachmaninoff. All she plays
I'm not being the ''clever intellectual judge'' as you put it, what an extraordinary statement!. I'm simply stating a fact concerning growing artistic maturity,a factor that occurs with any worthwhile performer as time passes. As it happens I'm a great admirer of Yuga Wang, she has huge talent yet she displays an admirable modesty with a charming disposition. Incidentally the spelling is GENIUS not ''geniuous''.
Artistic maturity is a statement that you without any blushing comment directly on a page with Yuja's playing. Let me tell you, that it is very likely that she already in an age of 20 years old had an artistic maturity, far greater than yours ever were. As a person grow older, that person has experienced longer time. Thats all. Not better. Not more clever. Respect for elder people is nice - and a very different subject. Expressing and understanding music has nothing whatsoever with age to do, excepting children. But logic sense, as making the story whole, artistic sense, to see the invisible hidden things to express, technical abilities. You can find Tiffany Poon, age 18 years old, playing as deep and beautyfull like Arthur Rubinstein ever did - and Yuja in a level above - or in her very own league. I am very sorry, but talking about artistic maturity to a super clever 28 year genious musician, perhaps the best ever for several years is ignorant, as i see it. I know it for many people was hard to swallow that a 21 years old chinese supersexy girl also happened to be one of the best and most controlled piano artists we have heard. I know you mean nothing wrong and that you are an admirer - but there has been so many really stupid people commenting on Yuja's music. Simply out of pure envy. I have to react. She is a gift to musiclovers all over - NOT a subject, where her maturity is open for debat, regarding the fact, she is far above level
21-й век отмечен масшабным приходом в музыку исполнителей из Китая, Кореи, Японии. (Л. Раков.) Разговоры о том, что они играют как роботы нужно прекратить, это для них давно пройденная ступенька. Это чудо можно только . приветствовать и наслаждаться им.
Listening to her, Yuja is already the Queen ... well, because of her ethnicity perhaps rather the Empress. .... and at the moment I do not see any obvious kings or emperors. Anybody can comment on this?
She is a heavenly treat to the world. Makes me happy to be alive and to enjoy her magnificence.
I'll second that!

though competent, is as undeniably so-what as her voluptuous figure
undeniably isn’t. (Yes, I know the photograph I mentioned doesn’t show
much of her figure apart from the luscious shoulders but, the prurient
side of my nature piqued, I did a bit of a web crawl.)
Just for the hell of it I looked at the publicity shots of other
currently active female musicians, such as Yuja Wang, Joanna MacGregor,
Nicola Bendetti, Alison Balsom (nicknamed ‘crumpet with a trumpet’, her
promos more often suggest ‘a strumpet with a trumpet’ instead),
Anne-Sophie Mutter and a few others.
They didn’t disappoint the Peeping Tom lurking under my aging surface.
Just about all the photographs showed the ladies in various stages of
undress, in bed, lying in suggestive poses on top of the piano, playing
in frocks (if any) open to the coccyx in the back and/or to the navel up
front.
This is one thing these musicians have in common. The other is that none
of them is all that good at her day job and some, such as Wang, are
truly awful. Yet this doesn’t really matter either to them or to the
public or, most important, to those who form the public tastes by
writing about music and musicians.
Thus, for example, a tabloid pundit expressing his heartfelt regret that
Nicola Benedetti “won’t be posing for the lads’ mags anytime soon.
Pity, because she looks fit as a fiddle…” Geddit? She’s a violinist,
which is to say fiddler - well, you do get it.
“But Nicola doesn’t always take the bonniest photo,” continues the
writer, “she’s beaky in pics sometimes, which is weird because in the
flesh she’s an absolute knock-out.
“The classical musician is wearing skinny jeans which show off her long
legs. She’s also busty with a washboard flat tummy, tottering around 5ft
10in in her Dune platform wedges.”
How well does she play the violin though? No one cares. Not even critics
writing for our broadsheets, who don’t mind talking about musicians in
terms normally reserved for pole dancers. Thus for instance runs a
review of a piano recital at Queen Elizabeth Hall, one of London’s top
concert venues:
“She is the most photogenic of players: young, pretty, bare-footed; and,
with her long dark hair and exquisite strapless dress of dazzling
white, not only seemed to imply that sexuality itself can make you a
profound musician, but was a perfect visual complement to the sleek
monochrome of a concert grand... [but] there’s more to her than meets
the eye.”
The male reader is clearly expected to get a stiffie trying to imagine
what that might be. To help his imagination along, the piece is
accompanied by a photo of the young lady in question reclining on her
instrument in a pre-coital position with an unmistakable ‘come and get
it’ expression on her face. The ‘monochrome’ piano is actually
bright-red, a colour usually found not in concert halls but in dens of
iniquity.
Nowhere does the review mention the fact obvious to anyone with any
taste for musical performance: the girl is so bad that she should indeed
be playing in a brothel, rather than on the concert platform.
Can you, in the wildest flight of fancy, imagine a reviewer talking in
such terms about sublime women artists of the past, such as Myra Hess,
Maria Yudina, Maria Grinberg, Clara Haskil, Marcelle Meyer, Marguerite
Long, Kathleen Ferrier? Can you see any of them allowing themselves to
be photographed in the style of “lads’ mags”?
I can’t, which raises the inevitable question: what exactly has changed
in the last say 70 years? The short answer is, just about everything.
Concert organisers and impresarios, who used to be in the business
because they loved music first and wanted to make a living second, now
care about nothing but money. Critics, who used to have discernment and
taste, now have nothing but greed and lust for popularity. The public…
well, don’t get me started on that.
The circle is vicious: because tasteless ignoramuses use every available
medium to build up musical nonentities, nonentities is all we get. And
because the musical nonentities have no artistic qualities to write
about, the writing nonentities have to concentrate on the more jutting
attractions, using a vocabulary typically found in “lads’ mags”.
The adage “sex sells” used to be applied first to B-movies, then to
B-novels, and now to real music. From “sex sells” it’s but a short
distance to “only sex sells”. This distance has already been travelled -
and we are all being sold short.
+Mario DiSarli Que asco tu copy/paste.
+Mario DiSarli Hola Mario! Tu amigovio fritz? Mueren de envidia de ver a la hermosa YUJA! Divina YUJA! Lástima que ustedes nacieron hombres y ella es una bella y auténtica mujer. Además, obvio, una de las mejores pianistas de este siglo.
+Mario DiSarli Obviously you are a old bug with 18th century's mentality and aesthetics. But any way, if you dressed up the sexiest way, can you play like this or get this popular? 仁者见仁，智者见智 (swine see everything as swine).
John Brown the wise see wisdom = pigs see pigs, but the latter is more appropriate for those like Mario. Go learn Chinese more.
Esta chica es sencilla y castizamente ''acojonante'' 👍👏👏👏
Belle et excellente interprète
Colorful!
Excelso todo.
We all know that Yuja has a world-famous technique. But folks who are not closely familiar with "Nights" need to understand that it is very, very repetitive and requires a world class memory to memorize it. Many famous artists (unapologetically) use the music or a device that projects it on a screen in front of them, that they can change the page by touching the screen.
This is not to criticize those artists. But to disclose to all of you that Yuja played this without the score. Daniel Barenboim uses the score to play it.
Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
recording is very good
이 음악의 중간중간은 타오르는 뜨거운 노을을 생각나게 하네요.. 전체적으로 뜨거운 주황 빛 과 보라색이 떠오르는 음악입니다.
Nice dress. With Wuja it's not just the music that sizzles.
Stupenda !!!
It's impossible to watch her play and continue repeating the old adage that no one is perfect.
She talks to the piano, and the dang thing listens!
Apart of course from being an amazing pianist, just have to say.....what a beautiful looking woman Yuja Wang is, with a figure to die for !!
I've been playing/studying for many years and have tried to match her technique, but I can't. I just can't!!
Excelante!! pluS reaLLy niCe goWn! XoxO
SWANGING! (Swinging Wang-style)
This is so Disney like, n.n, love it
Increíble !!!
EXCELLENT!
THE more you dress like that, THE better
Congratulations for your presente and your MUSIC...
Would love to see you performing in real life. Hope you will perform in NZ.
She leaves her soul at 1:41
I thought it worth highlighting this comment from one 'Paul Jones' from 8 months ago. It's an instructive piece to remind us all that the unfettered banner, and fetid smell of rampant racism is alive wherever freedom of expression allows it to wave, and to stink. Hold your noses everybody, for here it is...
'Pianists from non-Occidental countries should think twice about interpreting music outside their cultural zeitgeist. De Larrocha is THE performer for this piece; the standard bearer.'
A technically perfect example of polished racism from Paul Jones (with apologies to all Welshmen for having had one of your most esteemed names taken by one so undeserving). Here is a man who is able to gratify his xenophobic appetite with the help of an amateur set of ears that, happily for him, don't second-guess his auditory illusions to alter the Hell-bound direction of his distorted moral compass. With the word 'zeitgeist' (which I doubt he really understands), he gives away his Naziform inclinations.
Beautiful Alicia. I do apologize for this heathen's use of your name; you must be turning in your grave. Be still, my dear, and go back to enjoying the lovely Yuja, your new standard bearer. She plays de Falla so beautifully because, Alicia, she has studied you, she worships you, and has taken your Latin fire and injected it into the veins of those gorgeous hands. Oh G-d how I love your playing, Yuja!
Jones didn't mention race at all. On the contrary, he explicitly mentioned culture.
This is why i play the bass!
+NURREDIN We don´t fucking care ;)
THE more she shows, THE better...
WHAT A WOMAN!
Please dress same way all the time with superb music
There is much to admire here, she is growing in artistic maturity and exploring a wide range of repertoire. Pianistically she is outstanding and if I dare say also a glamorous presence onstage. Having said this I prefer to see her in more appropriate attire as seen here rather than in vampish mini skirts which can be a distraction.
+Meredith Foster Gaining greater artistic maturity:) Can you hear how that sounds? Like you,the clever intellectual judge can overview a geniuous, which she is. She already in an age in her early twenties made interpretations far beyond musicians much older. Like Mozart, Chopin, Horowits many others. Were perfect in an early age. genious' She is one of the best pianists of all times - also regarding interpretations. Listen to her playing woman. Scubert/Lizst. Prokofief which she has brought to a new level regarded impossible. Chopin. rachmaninoff. All she plays
I'm not being the ''clever intellectual judge'' as you put it, what an extraordinary statement!. I'm simply stating a fact concerning growing artistic maturity,a factor that occurs with any worthwhile performer as time passes.
As it happens I'm a great admirer of Yuga Wang, she has huge talent yet she displays an admirable modesty with a charming disposition.
Incidentally the spelling is GENIUS not ''geniuous''.
Artistic maturity is a statement that you without any blushing comment directly on a page with Yuja's playing. Let me tell you, that it is very likely that she already in an age of 20 years old had an artistic maturity, far greater than yours ever were. As a person grow older, that person has experienced longer time. Thats all. Not better. Not more clever. Respect for elder people is nice - and a very different subject. Expressing and understanding music has nothing whatsoever with age to do, excepting children. But logic sense, as making the story whole, artistic sense, to see the invisible hidden things to express, technical abilities. You can find Tiffany Poon, age 18 years old, playing as deep and beautyfull like Arthur Rubinstein ever did - and Yuja in a level above - or in her very own league. I am very sorry, but talking about artistic maturity to a super clever 28 year genious musician, perhaps the best ever for several years is ignorant, as i see it. I know it for many people was hard to swallow that a 21 years old chinese supersexy girl also happened to be one of the best and most controlled piano artists we have heard. I know you mean nothing wrong and that you are an admirer - but there has been so many really stupid people commenting on Yuja's music. Simply out of pure envy. I have to react. She is a gift to musiclovers all over - NOT a subject, where her maturity is open for debat, regarding the fact, she is far above level
Your verbose reply lacks logic and clarity of thought. I think we should agree to disagree.
I would like to make it ven clearer, but i think not necessary:) Agree
21-й век отмечен масшабным приходом в музыку исполнителей из Китая, Кореи, Японии. (Л. Раков.) Разговоры о том, что они играют как роботы нужно прекратить, это для них давно пройденная ступенька. Это чудо можно только . приветствовать и наслаждаться им.
Да! Их позиция уважения учителей и труда делает свое дело..
I love you yuja wang your best
"you're the best" = you are the best ("your" = a possession belonging to you)
Bella
Even when I was Hayhoe I ever looked or played like this , very clever and enjoying x
A Chinese artist showing the Japanese how to play Spanish music. Great show !
Face it. Yuja's a Romantic Pianist.
Listening to her, Yuja is already the Queen ... well, because of her ethnicity perhaps rather the Empress. .... and at the moment I do not see any obvious kings or emperors.
Anybody can comment on this?
She did not make sunbathing recently
bravisimo
