YundiLi Prokofiev Piano Concerto No.2 in G minor (part 4 of 5)

[jazzableful]

I am a jazz fan only!  You Tube puts videos on my channel to view and I chose this classical video for a change. I watched this young man work HARD on another video leading up to this performance and I was truly amazed at what I heard and what I saw! I NEVER experienced anything like I felt after viewing both. There are not enough words to express my admiration for his God given talent, and to read some of these comments are very hurtful! He is a Genius! I am acknowledging this as my comment!

A imagem está horrivel!

Prokofiev is so strange. I would never be able to play his music.

[Woskob]

Un des moments les plus forts de ce sublime concerto que l'on aimerait que d'avantage d'interprètes nous proposent. Mais peut-on trouver terrain plus dangereux si ce n'est chez Liszt?

[eltachimetro]

i don't understand prokofiev's music D:

[skryabyn]

I finally began to understand it after looking at all vertical harmonies, that is, playing thorugh peices slowly and appreciating the ingenuity.

Once you get bored with everything else then you will open up to prokofiev just as I.

[SickForest]

@eltachimetro You chose the most (to me) strange concerto, full of "hidden messenges" and dissonance, I recommend you the 1st and then the 3rd (played by Martha Argerich). This concerto is a little bit heavier. Also hear some of Romeo & Juliet (Juliet´s Funeral and Death), Peter & the Wolf... and of course the classic Symphony... before listen to this, just saying. 

[TwixCrazy]

@eltachimetro it's okay :) everyone listens to music differently. Honestly,I can't understand Mahler...I always think to myself..."Is he going anywhere with this piece...?"

[m00withmepeeple]

why does everyone only pick out the bad parts of everyone? This is his interpretation of the piece and he's worked hard to perform it... the least anyone could do is to just enjoy the music. If you've got something to say, why don't you learn the piece yourself

[wnsbug]

his performance with seiji ozawa and berlin philharmoniker was better than this

[katsudonshake]

omg... this piece... is AMAZINGLY difficult in the sense of making it sound good...!

[4evaFanFuruba]

if this piece were conducted by Seiji Ozawa,I bet it sounds better..

[lundijuno106]

i agree with you, guys. yundi li was not ready to perform this concerto.

[TatTwamAsi]

Absolutely Chaos.

But not so as Prokofiev ment it to be. I presume that Prokofiev ment it to be Chaos from which emerged Kosmos, as the creation of the universe.

But alas they play it as it was Chaos and remained Chaos. What a pity.

Of course there is something left to enjoy, happily.

But again the conductor has not grasped the soul of the piece, and the pianist remains a pianist, is not able to lift the performance to its goal.

[johnayumi]

abit too fast and chaos
