[古典乐 Classical] 叶夫根尼·基辛 & 王羽佳Evgeny Kissin & Yuja Wang - Chopin 24 Preludes：韦尔比耶音乐节二十周年庆典的钢琴双星

The last few preludes build to an incredible climax. No. 22 in G minor is restless and agitated. No. 23 in F major is calm, like a moment of peace before the storm. And No. 24 in D minor is the storm itself—passionate, dramatic, overwhelming. Yuja Wang played it with everything she had. Her fingers were on fire, her energy was electric. When it was over, there was nothing left to say. The music had said it all.

The Prelude No. 17 in A-flat major is one of the longest and most complex of the set. It has a lyrical outer section and a stormy middle section, like a little sonata form. The pianist who played it found the perfect balance between the two—the opening was singing and beautiful, the middle was intense and dramatic, and the return was like coming home. A masterful performance.

This concert was a celebration of the piano itself. Twenty-four preludes, twenty-four moods, twenty-four opportunities to hear what this instrument can do. From the quietest whisper to the loudest roar, from the simplest melody to the most complex counterpoint. And all of it played by some of the greatest pianists of our time. It was a privilege to witness.

The final Prelude No. 24 in D minor is a fitting conclusion to the cycle. It's passionate, dramatic, and ultimately unresolved. Yuja Wang played it with fire and fury, her fingers racing to the end. And when the final chord sounded, there was a moment of silence, and then the applause exploded. It was the perfect end to a perfect concert.

Trifonov was the youngest pianist on stage that night, but he played with the maturity of someone twice his age. His Prelude No. 12 in G-sharp minor was intense, almost violent. His Prelude No. 18 in F minor was dark and brooding. And his Prelude No. 22 in G minor was a whirlwind of emotion. He's a remarkable talent.

The Verbier Festival's Salle des Combins is a beautiful hall, and this concert was recorded beautifully. The sound is clear and natural, the camera work captures the pianists' hands without being intrusive. You can see every finger movement, every subtle shift in posture. It's a pleasure to watch as well as to listen.
