Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791) was a prolific … Read Full Bio ↴Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791) was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical period. Despite his short life, his rapid pace of composition resulted in more than 800 works of virtually every Western classical genre of his time. Many of these compositions are acknowledged as pinnacles of the symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral repertoire. Mozart is widely regarded as among the greatest composers in the history of Western music, with his music admired for its "melodic beauty, its formal elegance and its richness of harmony and texture".

Born in Salzburg, then in the Holy Roman Empire and currently in Austria, Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. His father took him on a grand tour of Europe and then three trips to Italy. At 17, he was a musician at the Salzburg court but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position.

While visiting Vienna in 1781, Mozart was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He stayed in Vienna, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years there, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas. His Requiem was largely unfinished by the time of his death at the age of 35, the circumstances of which are uncertain and much mythologized.

I especially love the back story - as I recall it. That fairly young Rachmaninoff put his heart into his first symphony and it was very poorly received by the critics. A failure. He went into a depression of some kind. Someone got him associated with a psychiatrist/psychologist (talk therapy) who kept motivating him to begin his next piece. It was Piano Concerto #2 - and the entire piece reflects his journey out of those doldrums. A piece that speaks for all of humanity overcoming failure and turning loss into greatness. A song for all of us. I have heard this piece numerous times including quite a number at the symphony by various pianists. I even play a few pages of it on the piano - a wonderful feeling to experience - as though connected to Rachmaninoff through the hands, the piano and the feeling of the song

Having said that, for me this performance by Wang, the conductor especially and the orchestra IS the best interpretation in my opinion. So many rich subtleties brought out.

The most beautiful Rach concert in my opinion. Therefore, I have spent the evening listening to the same piano concerto with four other (female) pianists. All performances had their merits. But no one can interpret all the emotions that this work contains like Yuja Wang, nor does anyone seem to enjoy the concert as much as she does. That alone enhances the pleasure I experience when I watch and listen to Yuja.

I've seen Yuja in interviews. She is always smiling and upbeat, actually bubbly in her personality. Then when she goes before the piano and begins to perform, it seems that she is transformed, almost as if one of the great composers like Rachmaninov has entered her soul and taken over. You can see it in her expressions and concentration, a total absorption of the music. What is even better is that she takes us along for the ride.

You said exactly what happens. She developed sufficient dexterity and the entity that possessed Rachmaninov it possesses her too and the entire audience. It is fed by the life energy of everyone present, generation after generation. It is slavery after all, very far from the freedom we would have if we lived the Truth that Jesus taught us.

It's my response to the first comment, about how she seems to transform...So that it is known what is really happening in an event in which something catches the attention of everyone else. The more enraptured people are, the more energy they deliver. And nobody notices that is losing precious moments of his life that should be occupied in the true way, the one that restores freedom and life to humanity: Loving each other like Jesus taught us and commanded us.
The discernment and wisdom that the Love of one for another gives, are necessary to awaken a humanity accustomed to living lethargically, without even imagining the greatness of their own potential. We better wake up to this true wonder. 💖🇨🇱

Ms. Yuja Wang is maturing wonderfully as a really great pianist .
Life itself, when viewed accordingly, can afford great insight, in het case, to a deeper "feel" for the music she performs
Her greater focus on the art itself and less on the visual aspect of her performance is a testemony of her growth.
( She is no less pleasant to the eyes, quite the contrary, but in a more mature, deep, lasting way ! )

Music can do so many things. For example: heal a broken heart, help someone to make the right decision, beeing a companion in perhaps hard times, help us to see the underlying circumstances in something that is totally messed up. And so on. Or like here, for me: A total enjoying of the musical qualities of this playing. Thank you Yuja Wang, Valery Gergiev and Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra.

I just love this piece! I can listen to it all day and not get tired of it. I remember the first time I heard this, I was in high school seeing a public rehearsal of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra with my band class. After I heard this piece, I immediately asked my teacher the name of the piece. He gave me a CD to download it, and I listened to it almost nonstop.

To begin to understand this piece you have to understand how it came to be. Rachmaninov had endured a disastrous opening from reasons that are still disputed. Following that intense depression prevented him from composing. After working with a psychotherapist he was able to compose. The result was his 2nd Concerto for Piano and Orchestra. The most beloved in the romantic repertoire. This piece is a beautiful gift and serves as his triumphant return to composition. ❤❤❤

You are so correct. The dark clouds lifted and this magnificent work was born.
I do not feel that it was fully reflected on this performance, which was too focused on the technicalities. The conductor seemed more into the emotions.
I feel that Anna Fedorova is one of the few people who has fully captured the the entire inner feelings of the composer.
