Been listening to this masterpiece by Chopin for 60 years, performed live and on records, by everybody. This is the finest performance of it that I have ever heard. Sensitive, thoughtful, beautifully organized, perfectly articulated and delivered with powerful emotion. Amazing.
Be sure to check out her new album which also has this piece on it. We recorded it a few months after this performance! www.pentatonemusic.com/product/chopin-voyage/
I seldom ever write anything on TH-cam, but just had to send my admiration and congratulations on your playing. At last someone who does not speed through in some sort of musical race. I am recording this work next year and I assure you we share similar feelings for this wonderful work. Great piano as well.
I had always thought Chopin's 3rd Piano Sonata somewhat inferior to his 2nd... until now... This is an unutterably beautiful performance. Ms. Avdeeva is a genius.
To make music this demanding sound so remarkably relaxed, unaffected, and natural requires great art. The wonderful paradox is that we're almost never aware that Avdeeva is "interpreting" yet, of course, she is. We just don't notice. The apparently artless reveals, in fact, great art.
They actually wound the strings differently in this era than they do in more modern pianos. There are a few octaves where they harmonics on the bridge are different pitches for the same note. Remember there are 3 strings for 1 note on most strings. So those there strings have different harmonics each. But in "newer" pianos they are the same pitch on the harmonics in search of a more pure tone. Pretty interesting!
An other awesome and singular unique rendition of my favorite pianist. Is this the Horowitz Steinway !? It sounds absolutely fantastic and is different from a "normal" Steinway. Thank you very much for uploading ,Tippet Rise Art Center Crew and this is an incredible good recording.
Very nice playing. I would prefer last movement to be played faster and more virtuosic with less pulling back on sound! This is the culmination of the longest most evolved of all of his solo piano pieces!!!! The last part needs to be played with tremendous Glory and quadruple F in my opinion. Listen to Zimmerman's recording.
Yulianna has become one of my favorite pianists. Everything she plays is perfect. Tippet Rise Art Center: I'd like to know more about that piano. Obviously, rebuilt. First time I've seen a Steinway with green felt. What year is it? Who rebuilt it? Thanks.
This piano is our oldest we have in our Concert hall. Her name is Seraphina and she's from 1897! Tali Mahanor out of new york rebuilt her and our Tech Mike Toia has been taking very good care of here the last 8 years. Yulianna's newest album that came out(available on all platforms) just last week was recorded here as well but she used CD18 our 1941 Steinway own by Vladimir Horowitz and later Eugene Istomin. She used the American hammers for the new album.

Wonderful playing, wonderful artist.
She is my favorite pianist und artist. Her play is fantastic. I would love to attend her recital.
Grande maturità musicale,potenza, suono curato, fraseggio stupendo. Grazie Yulianna;❤
Beautiful. And an amazing antique piano. The classic era Steinway

Wow.. She has such great clarity and good whimsical expression for this piece. It’s sublime.
Wonderful performance as ever. Thank you Yulianna👏

I thought this beautiful piece was making me cry, but turns out, I was chopin onions.
Lovely playing - and a gorgeous vintage Steinway!
Seraphina(the piano) is indeed gorgeous! From 1897!
@@TippetRiseArtCenter Steinways of that vintage when fully restored are truly lovely: warm, rich-toned and singing but with plenty of power.

Excelente interpretación.😊❤
To memorize such a long classical piece that is not easy to play is absolutely amazing 😮😊
Spitzenperformance.
A true artist, virtuosity in favor of music. Brava.
🤯
Wow...she's very good!
I wonder why this music doesn't appeal to a more diverse audience.
A lot of non whites tend to favor rhythm over melody, harmony and development.
❤
😍
How beautiful she is
Хорошее исполнение.
professor mcgonagall is back!
after hearing this performance, that is what you have to say?
What does that mean anyway?

Are you referring to Krystian Zimerman? I wasn’t aware he recorded this sonata - can you tell me where I can find it? Thanks!
I hope she gets to read your comment. I’m sure she would find it helpful.

I hope you guys got Yulianna out on a horse or two while she was there or at least to a rodeo.
It looks like a very old one (though rebuilt), with turned legs. I'd guess around 1900 or earlier? Just a guess though.
@@jassonsw The fall board says New York LONDON Hamburg. There was a English factory?
The duration of this classical piece is incredible!!
