I think this is the best rendition of all I've listened to on Youtube. Yuga's speed, control, tonality, expression, in fact, all of it was just superb in my opinion. I especially liked the middle section with not too much rubato and loss of speed. Bravo. Splendid performance.
This sounds like crap. The tempo is not even presto, it's 'molto vivace.' Chopin wrote in this piece a lapidary brilliance which is consistently reduced to a question of how fast tit can be played. It's an unfortunate fate for another proof of Chopin's compositional experimentation and consistent achievement. This girl plays her D-flat scales very nicely but whether she plays Chopin's waltz well is another story. Laughable considering the comparative latitude she takes with the dolce section.
@masonmdickson She was only 10 years old. Go watch her other videos on youtube, and you'll be amazed by what a masterful performer she's turned out to be.
I'd like to see her go back and do some of the pieces she did as a young child with her many years of experience now. I wonder if- or how- she would play differently.
Yuja your video is a dazzling rendition of the "Minute Waltz." Your arm weight, tonal control, bright tonal colors and speed are more like that of a seasoned professional rather than a mere prodigy. The rendition is natural and without eccentricity. That is the way I like it.

@qinvalerio I was joking. If Yuja and Yundi were married, imagine how talented their children would be...

Yuja was born in 1987 but I wonder when this was recorded.

@rubendow in 1997, when she was 10 yo.

Amazing. I was spellbound. I love this rendition and it is NOT too fast. I am sure this speed was fine for Molto Vivace.

utubuser10 11 months ago
@utubuser10 yes it's too fast. Especially the first part. It should be played a little less fast, I think.

Amazing! She's sure got fast hands.

@nonamette I doubt that, look at her now, she still enjoys playing, that means there wasn't oppression in the first place.

how old is she when you video taped this and how old is she right now?

@Atrena2000
According to wikipedia she is currently 23 years of age, My guess is she is just above 10 when she recorded this.
