[larryman117]

This is the first time I heard this concerto spiritually performed by Jewish musicians with eternal beauty.

Tse Tse !

东方红，太阳升， 中国出了个毛泽东

他为人民谋幸福

他是人民大救星

他为人民谋幸福

毛主席，爱人民

他是我们的带路人

such a lovely lady :)

This is a fine rendition of the YRC. I've just come back from Beijing and heard it twice at the NCPA there. Chinese audiences love it! One performance was with a "Chinese" orchestra rather than a Western orchestra: the traditional instruments give a whole new dimension of tonecolour to the concerto and make the last mvmt especially more exciting.

I have just discovered this piece and played Nadia's rendition first 4 movements. A great performance! That said, this concerto's parts are greater than its sum. To me it comes across as a hodge-podge of beautiful vignettes that left me unsatisfied overall. Not much Chinese about it really - sort of reminds me of the old stereotype of Japan/China stealing parts from the West and gluing tham together to make something to hang their flag on.

[slaytesics]

@edgey4u that's because chinese music is almost exactly what you think of it as. It's pentatonic (well, we have micro-tones, but since this is written in western notation, no micro tones) and it's asian, congratulations sherlock.

太慢了

@goldsilverpenguin well, i think she is quite strengthful as a lady!!

you can't compare her with Lang lang after all, he is a much bigger and stronger guy :P

Boy oh boy, does she look uncomfortable in that piano seat and with heels, like

a straight-jacket in the dress. My favorite piano concerto. Lang Lang looks more natural playing it. Brass here wasn't exactly with the tempo.

[booksgodt]

@TheDoninwhiting Uncomfortable maybe but lovely and passionate, definately!

[Derrick6925]

Well.so-so...

[0username0invalid0]

shes rather slouched

[wikct2]

Love the marching part of the music.

[kakning]

it's very slow version.,,

[sameoldman]

Sounds like a practising version....

[GojuBob]

Great fun; great performance - of the only piano concerto ever to be composed by a committee! Thanks for posting.

[ntw316]

I am touched because the pianist is trying hard to present the beautiful of this work although there is somehow lack of chinese emotion. Good work!

[zzfinance]

so fuuuuuny! :)))))

[gweigwei]

Technically good. But lack of chinese national emotion.

[booksgodt]

Far more stately than Yang Yang! And prettier!

[quasar2008]

Wow! Fantastic! Greetings from China.

[TTalive]

Bravo!

Kudos to Nadia Weintraub, Yi-An Xu, Herzliya Chamber Orchestra, and Israel !

[mjiang111]

Very powerful. Where is this performance?

[bluedutch01]

This is really wonderful. Your pianism is superb, very good articulation and much feeling. I do hope this work achieves more visibility as time goes on. The melodies are beautiful and the work is rich with arpeggios, octaves and scale work.... piano in all its glory.

[ramitelaviv]

אלוהים איזו יצירה,מקורית וחדשנית,והביצוע של נדיה באמת מעבר לכל דמיון.והכל בעל פה!!!עוד הרבה כבוד היא תביא לארצנו.

[harmonicity]
