    Yuja brings a fresh interpretation to this masterwork of Brahms. Note how we hear the negative harmony clearly in the various lines. ❤

    This rendition of Brahms Paganini shows us how poetic and colourfull might be this magnificient piece if played in the right way (despite most of people thinks it is just viruosistic). Brahms' inventivness has no limit.

    If you’d like to hear Yuja Wang’s 2009 Verbier performance of the Brahms in the correct key (A Minor instead of G-Sharp Minor, as it is here), use this link:
    th-cam.com/video/yXEyFc-7q5g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3KC-ELfVbzTtJxZL
    The alternate upload is audio only-no Yuja, no score-but it includes some nice pictures of Brahms. I also added time stamps for each variation.

By the way, it seems that your ear is not as perfect as you seem to think: I checked the A note with a tuning fork, and it is indeed an A in this recording. But I was probably wrong to take your words seriously. You were joking.

    The on-screen text at the start of this vid declared wang's performance to be unique. Why? Why is it unique? I personally can't hear a SINGLE unique phrasing or approach in this. You should listen to Cziffra's recording - THAT's unique!

    • @eusebiusetflorestan2532
      @eusebiusetflorestan2532  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      If you had taken the time to read carefully, you would have understood that Yuja Wang's version is unique in the sequencing of the variations, not in the interpretation. As for the latter, it may not be "unique", but it is certainly rare, and certainly not inferior to Cziffra's.
