This is an utterly fantastic pianist. I'm sorry to have been ignorant of her existence. No discredit to Trifonov, but publicity is a strange thing. I have a lot of catching up to do. One doesn't hear a Liszt Sonata like this, even in a world where Hamelin plays it. I heard Bolet play it utterly fantastically, but she is right up there, believe me. Even more thoughtful, perhaps in her voicing. And...she always has something in reserve, which in this piece is saying something. Bravissima!
Avdeeva is my favorite pianist right now. I don't think there's anyone who plays like her. She can make her piano sound like anything. She can go full-on Romantic, or she can sound like a machine, and she has the touch of a Baroque specialist, while having all the imagination when playing non-Baroque music. There's a video of her playing Pictures at an Exhibition, and she can take something as simple (and overdone) as the "Promenade" and transform it into a work of beauty. Plus, she sounds just so unique; once you've heard Avdeeva, you can recognize Avdeeva's playing from a crowded lineup, and somehow she manages to have her own voice without sacrificing her execution of every piece of music she tackles. That's what someone like Trifonov doesn't do for me. He's great. But I wouldn't be able to pick his performance out of a lineup.
Trifonov is great but just a little bit overrated, or rather overpublicized would be the more correct term. He can learn any piece in any short amount of time, that's why he's so famous. His repertoire is I would say complete and he's not even 30. But I always listen to other interpretations. Save for his Paganini Etudes, they're excellent. But that's just my opinion.
Oh yes, audiences are a strange thing, especially that classical audiences strangely want the same "circus" as everyone else.The main thing is quick and intrusive and ideally dressed as scantly as possible. That really doesn´t speak for pure passion for music. I heard Yuliana Avdeeva last week in a tiny town in front of 300!"!!!! audiences in Germany. In 50 years of intensively listening to classical music, especially piano, I have never heard such an outstanding touch that produces such Wonderfull tones with a perfect technic. Yuliana Avdeeva knows exactly when to play fast and slow and doesn't take part in exactly that circus. That´s way she doesn't have a record deal and that is the greatest scandal and sin ever in history of classical music. And the concert I was, I didn't hear a single noise from the audience. They didn´t want a circus, they all knew her and wanted great music. This Liszt is really the absolute best of the best. That has nothing to do with taste at all. That´s a fact.
What an absolutely extraordinary performance of Liszt Sonata!! Yulianna is hands down one of the best pianists out there, everything she plays is so classy and musical, and this is reflected in her fantastic understanding and rendition of this magnificent piece. It is almost unbelievable that this was played live on stage, thanks so very much for this great upload!
Starting to love Yulianna when she played Chopin's Sonata in B flat minor in 2010's Chopin International Piano Competition. She was so good and outshone other competitors.
Mamma mia ma sei una grandissima grandissima pianista! Hai suonato il brano come nessuno. Così pulita nelle note senza coprire di pedale a meno che non serve! Brillantissima tecnica interpretazione e tocco meraviglioso! Complimenti tanti e finalmente una interprete come piace a me ma penso a tantissimi! Grazie! Ciao!!!😘🎵🎶🎵
To put it plainly,I have these recent years, become entirely overawed by this incredible pianist,if I may suggest, no one comes close...a true gift to our senses.
Mrs. Avdeeva performed that "1 movement"-Sonata on a very high level. It sounds like a big orchestra. She's conscious about the composition and it's whole architecture. She works out all the important lines out of the score. In many reviews journalists like to criticize the use of the pedal to hide their own lack of knowledge according to the compositions. Yulianna knows how to use it and every single voice, each chord and the whole melody lines are worked out on a very high level! So sad that I was not able to visit her concert!
Yulianna is a 'pianistic incarnation'. Her creations disclose supernatural intuition. She must have been a great pianist before. Even the most laborious effort is not enough to produce this kind of art. Of course, this is my personal opinion.
Yulianna Avdeeva spielt die h-moll -Sonate sehr orchestral und hebt die Vielstimmigkeit sehr deutlich heraus. Und sie lässt das Klavier singen. Hier wird einfach nur Musik gespielt! Musikkritiker schreiben ja ganz gerne regelmäßig über den Pedalgebrauch bei sämtlichen Pianisten. Mir kommt das häufig so vor, als täten sie das, um ihre umso wahrscheinlichere Unkenntnis der jeweiligen Kompositionen zu vertuschen. Yulianna versteht das Pedal mit Verstand und stets den Klang fokussierend zu bedienen. Man kann jeden einzelnen Ton glasklar hören! In diesem Konzert wäre ich gerne gewesen. Auch dann, wenn ich nur weniges von Liszt mag . "Les jeux D'au a la villa deste" , h-moll-Ballade, Dante - Sonate und die verschiedenen Mephisto-Walzer sind tolle Stücke. Ach ja, die Paganini-Variationen im Kontext mit Brahms und Rachmaninov dürfen nicht fehlen.
Da kann ich Ihnen nur zustimmen. Ich habe dieses Stück noch nie so grandios ausdifferenziert und vor allem live so fehlerfrei gespielt vernommen, und auch ich bin kein großer Liszt Freund, aber so bekommt die Sonate ein neues Niveau. Auch ihr Mussorky Konzert gehört zum Besten , was ich gehört habe. Beethoven, Schumann ,Chopin sowieso ,von ihr zu hören ist ebenso das reinste Erlebnis. Dieser Anschlag ist atemberaubend. Ich empfinde es geradezu grotesk, daß es von Yulian Avdeeva kaum Einspielungen auf CD gibt. Die gibt es zu Hauf von Buniatishvilli, der Königin des Prätentiösen und Manierierten. Auf die kann ich verzichten, aber im Klassikbetrieb ist es mittlerweile wie in der Schlagerbranche. Vermarktung ist alles. Traurig, traurig!
Um mm... really good. I'm adding the B Minor to works Avdeeva simply "owns", along with her "Pictures at an Exhibition" and Chopin Fantasie in F Minor. Avdeeva has become my favorite pianist for Romantic period compositions. She has gorgeous tone, extraordinary musical instincts, and unique ability to build musical tension -- no other pianist can construct big crescendi with such subtlety and overwhelming effect -- while also being able to render delicate passage work in a way which is purely magical. Her playing transports me directly to musical heaven.
Why is this genius such a well-kept secret? I did notice, however, that she's doing a gig with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. So the word is beginning to leak out.
@@8beef4u Trifonov didn't win the 2nd prize. He won the 3rd. And that because she do not let to be commercialized as Trifonov and many others did and follow her principles.
@@amirevaniandstudents9277 ...or the terribly absorbed Buniatishvilli, the queen of deception, pretentiousness and mannerism. I just find it very unfortunately that there is hardly anything on CD, because her playing is of unique brilliance.
This, alongside with Lisitsa's performance is probably the closest I'll ever get to hearing what would for my ears be the perfect performance of this Sonata. Both Avdeeva and Lisitsa have flaws which are fixed by the other. Avdeeva has a much more well-mannered temper on the fast climaxes while Lisitsa tends to smash through them at breakneck speeds. Vice versa, Lisitsa has a better temperament on the slow lyrical parts, her rubato and pauses are perfect and make for the most romantic performance. Avdeeva also has a very pleasant touch and phrasing but I didn't have the time to savour the lyricism because it ended too quickly. Overall, both pianists are among my favourites and I look forward to hearing them with another 10-20 years on their belts
There are 3 or 4 great versions of this great work. For example, Arrau: he really studied the work, I mean, not only "the notes"; and besides he was a disciple of Martin Krause (who was a Liszt´s disciple), so Arrau knew the Liszt tradition.
@@daniele8716 You may or may not like it but you can't deny hers is the most ferocious. Whether you like that or not is purely your opinion. Let me just remind you that Liszt himself wasn't that loved by other composers

The most perfect Liszt I´ve ever heard. The last step of mastership. Utterly spellbinding awesome.This clarity, WOW.👋👋👋👋👋👋
too perfect for Liszt. Outstanding musicianship.
Úžasné dílo Boží, precizně zahraná skladba, tak náročná. Klobouk dolů před touto tak skvělou klavíristkou!
Stunning performance. Avdeeva is the pianist of our time.
She's a supernatural 🙂 Connecting us with these works, as if you were there the first time they were played. Thank you!

Yes, Jorge Bolet's is really phenomenal! Yulianna Avdeeva should be known: she won First Prize at the 2010 Chopin Piano Competition.

The first piece is Liszt's RW - Venezia, S201 (1883), ...which she plays magnificently! Then the Sonata.
Her traversal of the Sonata is also great! Thanks for uploading.
I was wondering.

Everything she does play is an intelligent interpretation. Her LvB variations are another demonstration of mastership.
Браво,гениально 👏👏👏👏👏
This is simply extraordinary in every way: artistically, technically, the beauty of her tone in lyrical passages...everything.
It is a pianist I can expect more from now on. I listen to the accurate touch and the soft sound quality.
J'aime beaucoup votre interprétation. Merci, Yulianna Avdeeva !
She is one with music. Music comes through her.
Starting to love Yulianna when she played Chopin's Sonata in B flat minor in 2010's Chopin International Piano Competition. She was so good and outshone other competitors.
Absolutely magical! Many thanks.
Increíble! Interpretation
Espetacular!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo!!!!
I'm gonna witness her playing this tomorrow. She'll also be regaleing us with Chopin.
Looking very much forward to the concert
It is a powerful and fantastic performance! I fell in love with her music with a special performance technique!!
Utterly spellbinding!
Sonata starts at 3:28.

율리아나 아브제예바 갈수록 더 잘치네... She is playing better better better better and beyond best
This is shockingly good. The pianist must jam herself behind a piano for like 10 hours a day (to say nothing of her obvious talent)

Very well and appropriately written! I completely agree!
Actual sonata starts around 3:30
Ok I wondered what the part before is? When the video begins I thought this isn't the b minor sonata?
.... MARVELOUS.......!✨🎆🌍🎹🌠
flawless...
Why is this genius such a well-kept secret? I did notice, however, that she's doing a gig with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. So the word is beginning to leak out.
She won the 2010 Chopin Competition, which is weird because I agree, she didn't have the fame that came to the second place winner, Daniil Trifonov
She's no secret to me, and I don't get out much.

Powerful astonishing what a great artist!
She is the winner of Chopin con.
Fantasie
I have the feeling I can't write a command during her playing. As if she is saying:
'Don't write! Listen!!!' ❤️🎼🎹
That piano sounds spooky!

What's the name of song before the sonata?
