Loathe as I am to disagree with Rubinstein, I always thought that HE was the best of his time, an honor now taken by Yuja Wang. She is easily the equal of anyone I have ever heard, live or on records, and better than most of them. Way better.
More colorful beautiful piano sound than Yuja Wang=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov! More genius than Yuja Wang=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini Stanislav Bunin!

Very correct. She is good but she will never be the best. What about the genial ones like Horowitz, Michelangeli, Richter, Gilels, and even Rachmaninoff and etc, etc.

That's the third piano concerto written especially for Yuja. The first was John Adams' fantastic "Must the devil have all the good tunes?", the second was Grammy-winning jazzy piano concerto by Teddy Abrams. All three are completely different, extremely difficult and very good written! Nothing better than to play contemporary music! That's ONE reason why she's really the greatest pianist alive.
She's a great pianist with an incredible marketing apparatus, perhaps the best marketing apparatus in the world, if that can be measured. But is she the best pianist in the world? There is no objective measure for that. So, no. There are many other really great pianists.
@@fepeerreview3150 90’% I agree with you , they are many other good pianist , but she is the only to play Rachmaninov in the perfect way without big modifications
I love Yuja and for me she is the pianist I most want to listen to but is she the greatest? We're talking about artists here and no artist, no real artist, is greater than the others. I love her vitality and her interpretations and she earns her megastar reputation and that is good enough for me.... and screw all the fossils and bigots out there who want to demean her and her art.
Yuja Wang has plays as good as the best. In quality,variety and consistency, she’s top of the list. In age, she’s been one of the youngest ever piano virtuoso. I know she has attracted more young people to classical music than anyone. Playing never before performed concerts. Charismatic more than anyone before. Confronting unparalleled criticism just for being a young beautiful woman in a world that man dominated. Those are some of the reasons why I think she is the best classical pianist of this era.👍👏🏼🫶🏼
@@amaurylopez5558 charisma is not her strong suit. Criticism of her playing has been very fair, especially if you only listen to her play. As for being the youngest virtuoso ever, that is just a pile of idiotic nonsense
A wonderful Orchestra. The conductor will be considered as one of the best in this century very soon. This version of the Pathetic Symphony is not Slavonik, but great... Very romantic indeed. Tchaikovsky was in fact a French speaker. As to Yuja, she owns a marvellous technique. Her pianissimos are incredible. Yuja likes speed because her energy is powerful. It is all a question of style (the last step in the long way of recognition and fame.) Bravi!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Valse triste is perhaps the most popular of all Sibelius compositions, but also a piece of music I never get tired of. This orchestral version is superb.
Yes Staffan, I do agree. he different interpretations vary. In the hands of Neeme Järvi in Göteborg at that time it was something else. This one is thrilling and nice. / Lars
@@642forlife As a swede I wish I had the chance to listen to Neeme Järvi in Göteborg. But no. Instead I could listen to his son Kristian Järvi in Umeå many years ago. Best wishes!
Oh man, that Tchaikovsky is devastating (last movement) -- so painfully beautiful and tragic. (Always can depend on YW, and loved her outing, as always.)
Even if Magnus Lindbergs third piano consert is newly written, I think it is resting on a classical and romantic ground. Let us say like music before 1920. Nothing wrong with that. It is a very flambyant music and catches our total attention. I can see it is a little bit new for Yuja, her eyes are following the script constantly. Bravo!
An unfortunate comparison IMHO as both drinks are quite unhealthy whilst listening to Yuja and other great musicians is very good to one's health not to mention one's soul.

Luckily Adan Row now has changed the heading to a quesion: "Yuja Wang, The Best Pianist of the World?". Good for him. I myself can think of many pianists better than Yuja Wang. My newest is Yunchan Lim, even if he is very young. So, pianists may come and go, music for piano will always exist.
While there are many excellent pianists in the world, Yuja's acknowledgements to the audience are executed with an incomparable chic flourish. So, Yuja wins by 'bow'!
The best pianist in the world is Fred Bloggs.He is resident at Butlins holiday camp,Skegness,England,south of Scotland.He wears a cloth cap & has 2 pints of beer on the piano & fish & chips.
What are the criteria of "best art"? My professors during the exams always made a strong point of "tone", which has a lot to do with pedaling and fingering.
That's an exaggeration to say that she is the best. If it's like that, what about the genial others and the legends like Horowitz, even Rachmaninoff, Barenboim, Lipatti, Sokolov, Sviatoslav Richter, Martha Argerich or Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Murray Perahia, Evgheny Kissin, Mikhail Pletnev, Arthur Rubinstein, Emil Gilels etc, etc.
Miss Katia Buniathishvili is a lady,beautiful,intelligent.Mr.Lang-Lang is the great Pianist.Really with very high Level.But Youja Wang is the gift from God❤
Anyone who labels ANYONE in any field as the “best” is a fool. There is NO such thing. There are no absolutes in the arts in particular. You might as well say her fingernails are superior to Lang Lang’s….it’s about as meaningful. There is only one’s opinion and one’s favorite. Semantics? No, that’s just the way it works.
Yuja isn’t THE best pianist right now. Definitely in the top five. I had the good luck to see her perform solo last year and it was incredible. She’s still young so I think we can only look forward to her improving constantly.
She and Lang Lang might be the most marketed pianists; this is how far I would concur. For my personal preference, and depending heavily on the piece of music, I name Richter, Pollini, Brendel, Gilels, Zimmerman.
Хочется отметить. что благодаря Юджин интерес к фортепьянной музыке во всем мире вырос необычайно Вдруг все вспомнили Горовец Рихтер, Рубинштейна,Плетнева, Кисина других великих пианистов Как вырос интерес к Рахманинову по все бросились играть 1.2и 3 концерты даже те кому это категорически нельзя(Мацуев) Юджин великая и неповторимая но конечно не величайшая это не прыжки в высоту
Does anyone know the meaning of her name in Chinese? Yu (羽) means feather of bird, also the sixth note of music. Jia (佳) means good, excellent, beautiful. Wang (王) is a surname, also means king. I think that her parents wish her to be a beautiful little bird flying in music, and she really did.
Sans vouloir être rabat-joie pour ceux qui aiment Yuja et que je respecte, certes c'est la pianiste qui fait vendre mais il y en a plein d'autres qui sont aussi tout bons si ce n'est meilleurs qu'elle...
Better? More like, prefer. I prefer Yuja because her technical expertise and artistic choices resonate with me. But otherwise it's like saying Piccasso is better than Caravaggio.
Y. Wang is only a piano virtuoso, not a piano artist. To be among the best pianists you need to accomplish both sides, much more to be considered "the best". Only a few pianists have really accomplished both dides of the piano artistry. Y. Wang is not among them, She has repeatedly failed to become an artist of the piano since she is just an outstanding piano virtuoso with defficient skills on regard to intellectual conception, musicianship, musical expressiveness and trascendence. She only occupies her mind on technical proess but unfortunately not on supreme artistry and musical proess, as she should. Someone with the technical skills that she possesses should also be bussy in achieving greatness in musicianship and intellectual understanding of music, then she could be considered among the best ones, not "the best", since there has never been a best, and never will be. Greatness should not be confused with dexterity! Very different levels! Thank You!
This is even better on headphones. This young buck conductor is on with the most desirable woman on Earth. So privileged. And good for him and her! Although I think she might be wasted on him. The music interpretation is great too. It seems that Yuja can do almost anything. This is a great concert! Thank you 🙂
They're not together anymore. And I think it's unlikely to be seen playing alongside each other, she cancelled all the dates in which she was supposed to play with him specifically. I personally find him superfluous as a conductor, can't connect at all, but he's got more talent than me, that's for sure 😂
Too bad her and Klaus will never work together anymore or at least for the next few years. Their collaboration was pretty special, in my humble opinion.
Nonsense. All accomplished pianists are the greatest. I embrace and am thankful for them all. This kind of “click bate” is BENEATH THE CLASSICAL WORLD.
@@joemug4079 Absolutely true. The objective is to attract new, young people, and to gradually retire those dinosaurs that do so much harm to music. However, you are welcome to the channel even if you are a hater
Playing Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Prokofiev today she is probably up there with the best. But if she records Beethoven, Schubert, Mozart that will be the big test for her aesthetic credentials. Playing all the right notes in the right order is one thing, but she needs to prove herself in the central european repertoire more in the future.

The best? I don't know, there are several very good pianists, even some younger than Yuja. What I do know is that she is the most popular and, in my opinion, the one who best understands Rachmaninov.
Yuja Wang, like her countryman Lang Lang, suffers from an apparent and insatiable NEED to make herself more important than the music she is playing. Her playing is no doubt superlative, with just that illusive mixture of restrained bravura, dash and delicacy (a rare combination, indeed!), but ALL that she plays is filtered through the inexplicable and irrelevant filter of her outward appearance. If it wasn't for the enormous Deutsche Grammophon marketing apparatus insisting that "shock value" is the name of the Classical Music game, I would have long ago sung her praises to the heavens... but, alas, I could never bring myself to worship at the alter of a paper dragon. As the immortal Verdi observed, "Mozart is the only one." THAT is the humble reverence for the music of the great composers that is missing in everything Yuja Wang plays.
There are a lot of best pianists in the world. Yuya is one of them. But she is not the best when she plays Beethoven. She tried it and played a mixture of all styles she ever learned but not Beethoven.
@@karlheinzkirchmann6469 Thank you for watching the videos and following the channel! Pay attention because unpublished explosive material not uploaded to tiktok from two great directors and Yuja too
Among the female pianists, Martha Argerich apart, Yuja Wang is the owner of a technique of the highest standards and her playing style has really developed into more mature, if you watch her early videos vs the new ones you'll notice. She's not the best but she sits next to the very best, no questions asked.
Hype student Yunchan Lim played colorless dry cold piano sound Rach concerto no 3 in the Cliburn Finals! Dimitri Bashkirov her teacher Anastasia Virsaladze teach saying to Bashkirov the most important lesson is the love of beautiful colorful piano sound! This was already in 1930s! Really Shocking! More colorful beautiful piano sound than hype student Yunchan Lim and Yuja Wang=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov! More genius than Yuja Wang and Yunchan Lim=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini Stanislav Bunin! More powerful louder than Yunchan Lim and Yuja Wang=Mikhail Pletnev(Prokofiev piano concerto no 1 by Pletnev!) The Second Loudest ever was Lazar Berman! The 3rd Loudest was Erwin Nyiregyhazi!
@@RaineriHakkarainen I have seen Rubinstein, Ashkenazy, Richter, Horowitz, Berman, Pollini, Nyiregyhazi, Wang and others in concert. I don't judge a pianist by how loud they can play. I would never refer to Wang and Lim as "hype students". That's silly.
Best in the world? She would have to climb over the graves of Evgeny Kissin, Murray Perahia and Simon Trpčeski, among a few others, to claim that title.
No such thing as best. I think Yuja is remarkable, but a little too 'technical' to me. Music is not about perfection, it is about passion, feeling and phrasing - and there might he some technical flaws. My personal favourites are Arcadi Volodos (watch his solo outdoor concert from Amsterdam - a tour de force!) and Grigory Sokolov. Lang lang I'm sorry to say is just not in the same league.
Technically speaking she is one of the best, for sure, but not in top 3 (Volodos, Katsaris, Zimermann). Musically, she hasn't much to say, a lot of affect and common places but the sound is nice so it does the job. Anyway, she does an incredible career and she is very professionnel, no mistakes so far. Classical Piano needs more women beside Argerich and Maria Pires also.
It’s hard to take her seriously as a musician because of the way she dresses which is attention- grabbing but also very distracting. Great virtuoso, certainly. Great musician? Maybe not.
Best in the world? She wouldn't even make my top 25. A few obviously better pianists would be Sokolov, Hamelin, Volodos, Zimerman, Von Eckardstein, Anderszewski, Argerich, Lugansky, Uchida, Yunchan Lim, Seong-Jin Cho, Biss, Katsaris, Trpceski, Schiff, Kissin, Trifonov, etc. If she hadn't gotten a lot of attention for her sexy clothing, I think she would be nowhere, just another competent performer.

Luckily Adan Row now has changed the heading to a quesion: "Yuja Wang, The Best Pianist of the World?". Good for him. I myself can think of many pianists better than Yuja Wang. My newest is Yunchan Lim, even if he is very young. So, pianists may come and go, music for piano will always exist.
While there are many excellent pianists in the world, Yuja's acknowledgements to the audience are executed with an incomparable chic flourish. So, Yuja wins by 'bow'!
excellent comment friend, welcome to the channel!
She cannot be because there are too many excellent classical pianists worldwide. And some have far admirable styles and modest stage presence!!

What the hell has your so-called "modest stage presence" got to do with anything?!
The best pianist in the world is Fred Bloggs.He is resident at Butlins holiday camp,Skegness,England,south of Scotland.He wears a cloth cap & has 2 pints of beer on the piano & fish & chips.
Yuja is amazing but as long as Martha Argerich is still breathing, that title belongs to her.
What are the criteria of "best art"? My professors during the exams always made a strong point of "tone", which has a lot to do with pedaling and fingering.
all criteria of "best art" are limited by the era. Thanks for your comment and follow the channel!
Not the best...but excellent! Music is not a competition. ❤
That's an exaggeration to say that she is the best. If it's like that, what about the genial others and the legends like Horowitz, even Rachmaninoff, Barenboim, Lipatti, Sokolov, Sviatoslav Richter, Martha Argerich or Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Murray Perahia, Evgheny Kissin, Mikhail Pletnev, Arthur Rubinstein, Emil Gilels etc, etc.
Miss Katia Buniathishvili is a lady,beautiful,intelligent.Mr.Lang-Lang is the great Pianist.Really with very high Level.But Youja Wang is the gift from God❤
Anyone who labels ANYONE in any field as the “best” is a fool. There is NO such thing. There are no absolutes in the arts in particular. You might as well say her fingernails are superior to Lang Lang’s….it’s about as meaningful. There is only one’s opinion and one’s favorite. Semantics? No, that’s just the way it works.
You could say that this is not the best comment I have read, thanks anyway for trying
@@adanrow You’re catching on!
@@vlad8888 I know, but anyway I can say who is the best of the moment for me. Your opinion does not exclude mine.
Yuja isn’t THE best pianist right now. Definitely in the top five. I had the good luck to see her perform solo last year and it was incredible. She’s still young so I think we can only look forward to her improving constantly.
Who are the other top 5?
@@paulvandenberg9588 depends on you and everyone else who loves classical piano. She’s definitely in my top 5 though.
@@nyjazzman she hasn't developed any musical ideas. She still sounds like a note spinner and not much else.
She and Lang Lang might be the most marketed pianists; this is how far I would concur. For my personal preference, and depending heavily on the piece of music, I name Richter, Pollini, Brendel, Gilels, Zimmerman.

Хочется отметить. что благодаря Юджин интерес к фортепьянной музыке во всем мире вырос необычайно Вдруг все вспомнили Горовец Рихтер, Рубинштейна,Плетнева, Кисина других великих пианистов Как вырос интерес к Рахманинову по все бросились играть 1.2и 3 концерты даже те кому это категорически нельзя(Мацуев) Юджин великая и неповторимая но конечно не величайшая это не прыжки в высоту

Does anyone know the meaning of her name in Chinese? Yu (羽) means feather of bird, also the sixth note of music. Jia (佳) means good, excellent, beautiful. Wang (王) is a surname, also means king. I think that her parents wish her to be a beautiful little bird flying in music, and she really did.
Sans vouloir être rabat-joie pour ceux qui aiment Yuja et que je respecte, certes c'est la pianiste qui fait vendre mais il y en a plein d'autres qui sont aussi tout bons si ce n'est meilleurs qu'elle...
Better? More like, prefer. I prefer Yuja because her technical expertise and artistic choices resonate with me. But otherwise it's like saying Piccasso is better than Caravaggio.
❤❤❤ + 🌹
Y. Wang is only a piano virtuoso, not a piano artist. To be among the best pianists you need to accomplish both sides, much more to be considered "the best". Only a few pianists have really accomplished both dides of the piano artistry. Y. Wang is not among them, She has repeatedly failed to become an artist of the piano since she is just an outstanding piano virtuoso with defficient skills on regard to intellectual conception, musicianship, musical expressiveness and trascendence. She only occupies her mind on technical proess but unfortunately not on supreme artistry and musical proess, as she should. Someone with the technical skills that she possesses should also be bussy in achieving greatness in musicianship and intellectual understanding of music, then she could be considered among the best ones, not "the best", since there has never been a best, and never will be. Greatness should not be confused with dexterity! Very different levels! Thank You!
Nonsense
@@maramé.runfortunately for you it's true. Playing romantic or modern concertos hides or covers her musical deficiencies.
This is even better on headphones. This young buck conductor is on with the most desirable woman on Earth. So privileged. And good for him and her! Although I think she might be wasted on him. The music interpretation is great too. It seems that Yuja can do almost anything. This is a great concert! Thank you 🙂
@@Fomites Thank you for your comment and for following the channel!
They're not together anymore. And I think it's unlikely to be seen playing alongside each other, she cancelled all the dates in which she was supposed to play with him specifically. I personally find him superfluous as a conductor, can't connect at all, but he's got more talent than me, that's for sure 😂
@@yafetpalomeque75 Thanks for the comment and for following the channel!
Too bad her and Klaus will never work together anymore or at least for the next few years. Their collaboration was pretty special, in my humble opinion.
I think the same, welcome to the channel!
Argerich and Dutoit still work together and they were married for 5 years. It is possible to work with an ex.
Nonsense. All accomplished pianists are the greatest. I embrace and am thankful for them all. This kind of “click bate” is BENEATH THE CLASSICAL WORLD.
@@joemug4079 Absolutely true. The objective is to attract new, young people, and to gradually retire those dinosaurs that do so much harm to music. However, you are welcome to the channel even if you are a hater

She is one of the best. By the way, she is an American; not a Chinese.
You can put the Lindberg score in the round file, 😕
@@pibbles-a-plenty1105 I don't understand
Playing Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Prokofiev today she is probably up there with the best. But if she records Beethoven, Schubert, Mozart that will be the big test for her aesthetic credentials. Playing all the right notes in the right order is one thing, but she needs to prove herself in the central european repertoire more in the future.

Most marketed pianist is either Glen Gould or

Хотя, если подумать, вопросы всё таки возникают.
@@ВикторДрондин хахаха, пока, ок!
Tout faire......Même le pire !
The best? I don't know, there are several very good pianists, even some younger than Yuja. What I do know is that she is the most popular and, in my opinion, the one who best understands Rachmaninov.
Um!!!! Not Martha Argerich is the Goat the supreme !! You’ll get there on day but not in Martha’s life time!!
I agree
Yuja Wang, The Best Pianist of the HEAVEN
She isn't the best...just one of the most well known...hardly the same thing...so far she has not recorded anything considered definitive.
Agree
I think her Mendelssohn Piano Concerto No. 1 is way up there.
Yuja Wang, like her countryman Lang Lang, suffers from an apparent and insatiable NEED to make herself more important than the music she is playing. Her playing is no doubt superlative, with just that illusive mixture of restrained bravura, dash and delicacy (a rare combination, indeed!), but ALL that she plays is filtered through the inexplicable and irrelevant filter of her outward appearance. If it wasn't for the enormous Deutsche Grammophon marketing apparatus insisting that "shock value" is the name of the Classical Music game, I would have long ago sung her praises to the heavens... but, alas, I could never bring myself to worship at the alter of a paper dragon. As the immortal Verdi observed, "Mozart is the only one." THAT is the humble reverence for the music of the great composers that is missing in everything Yuja Wang plays.
@@gardenphoto good comment, polite and kind. a valuable opinion
So what you're saying is that she is a great player but you don't like what she wears so not so good after all mmmmmhh
Agreed no such thing as best pianist alive but if there were it would be Krystian Zimerman.
There are a lot of best pianists in the world. Yuya is one of them. But she is not the best when she plays Beethoven. She tried it and played a mixture of all styles she ever learned but not Beethoven.
Yes, it seems the same to me. I try to say that it is the best today, not even close to the best of all time.
@@adanrow thanks. brain and fingervolocity are genius. but this Gmajor LvB isemms me

Best pianist that always wear the shortest skirt, and plays half naked

She the best? Have you even heard a tenth of the pianists nowadays? Let alone the deceased, how dare you!
@@johnwestlake208 I said today, currently. I have listened to many pianists and I like her, but she is by no means the best of all time,..
Among the female pianists, Martha Argerich apart, Yuja Wang is the owner of a technique of the highest standards and her playing style has really developed into more mature, if you watch her early videos vs the new ones you'll notice. She's not the best but she sits next to the very best, no questions asked.
@@yafetpalomeque75 Thanks for the comment and for following the channel!
@@adanrow You are entitle to your opinion. Enjoying music is an art, not a science.
@@trungpham549 ok
No. Sorry. Yuja IS the best. There are many great pianists worthy of our time and appreciation but Yuja stands alone as THE best of all time.
Yuja is certainly great but she has a male counterpart: Yunchan Lim. He's every bit as great. These are the two most exceptional pianists alive today.
Hype student Yunchan Lim played colorless dry cold piano sound Rach concerto no 3 in the Cliburn Finals! Dimitri Bashkirov her teacher Anastasia Virsaladze teach saying to Bashkirov the most important lesson is the love of beautiful colorful piano sound! This was already in 1930s! Really Shocking! More colorful beautiful piano sound than hype student Yunchan Lim and Yuja Wang=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov! More genius than Yuja Wang and Yunchan Lim=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini Stanislav Bunin! More powerful louder than Yunchan Lim and Yuja Wang=Mikhail Pletnev(Prokofiev piano concerto no 1 by Pletnev!) The Second Loudest ever was Lazar Berman! The 3rd Loudest was Erwin Nyiregyhazi!
@@RaineriHakkarainen I have seen Rubinstein, Ashkenazy, Richter, Horowitz, Berman, Pollini, Nyiregyhazi, Wang and others in concert. I don't judge a pianist by how loud they can play. I would never refer to Wang and Lim as "hype students". That's silly.
@@martian-sunsetthey certainly are hyped up by some media and TH-cam commenters
I like her Prokofiev piano concerto performance, but she is more like an entertainer rather than a musician.
@@orca8341 thanks!
Facciamo un concerto a due lei suona il piano e io la TROMBA 😂😂😂
Best in the world? She would have to climb over the graves of Evgeny Kissin, Murray Perahia and Simon Trpčeski, among a few others, to claim that title.
Sorry, personal opinion. For me the best pianist in the world is Khatia Buniatishvili
Booth are brilliants, but Katia seems more emotional performer.
Both no Booth…
No, i think is Yunchan Lim.
Yes. But as I said before, virtuosité is one aspect. Trifonov is a better magician.
No such thing as best. I think Yuja is remarkable, but a little too 'technical' to me. Music is not about perfection, it is about passion, feeling and phrasing - and there might he some technical flaws. My personal favourites are Arcadi Volodos (watch his solo outdoor concert from Amsterdam - a tour de force!) and Grigory Sokolov. Lang lang I'm sorry to say is just not in the same league.
Fast and accurate but no dynamics on what I saw. The skirt well distracting in a good way.
That's what they criticize Wnag the most for, her dresses! welcome to the channel!
The Best Pianist of the World? yes
@@andreasalustri9703 Not everyone thinks the same! Have you seen the latest video with the Berlin Orchestra and Rattle?
@@adanrowhi, sure everyone has his opinion. Which video? I'm really interested to see.
One uploaded one day ago is dated 2017 ( playing Bela Bartok)
@@andreasalustri9703 Yes, the one from 2017. Maybe I already have another one prepared from just a month ago from yuja and the Berlin Philharmonic
Technically speaking she is one of the best, for sure, but not in top 3 (Volodos, Katsaris, Zimermann). Musically, she hasn't much to say, a lot of affect and common places but the sound is nice so it does the job. Anyway, she does an incredible career and she is very professionnel, no mistakes so far. Classical Piano needs more women beside Argerich and Maria Pires also.
Thanks for comment!
It’s hard to take her seriously as a musician because of the way she dresses which is attention- grabbing but also very distracting. Great virtuoso, certainly. Great musician? Maybe not.

Best in the world? She wouldn't even make my top 25. A few obviously better pianists would be Sokolov, Hamelin, Volodos, Zimerman, Von Eckardstein, Anderszewski, Argerich, Lugansky, Uchida, Yunchan Lim, Seong-Jin Cho, Biss, Katsaris, Trpceski, Schiff, Kissin, Trifonov, etc. If she hadn't gotten a lot of attention for her sexy clothing, I think she would be nowhere, just another competent performer.
