Utterly stupendous...she has it all. A singularly unique talent... bravo

Yulianna created a deeply affecting experience of this great work, making it so easy to be caught up in every moment.of this eloquent human drama. Brava!!

This is truly the ultimate level of pianistic complexity. Outstanding. Bravo. Bravissimo!

The precision of a diamond-cutter. Every stroke delivered with clear intent and care. Truly conveys the feeling of encountering a series of powerful images.

I have stage “nerves”. I don’t know how you manage to play so perfectly - all the time. You amaze me! Bravo.

the best and cleanest interpretation of this beautiful master piece

The more often I listen to Yuliana Avdeeva´s performance the more speechless I become. This performance is so much better than all others in terms of clarity, virtuoso precision, deep musicality and the outstanding touch. In addition this is a live concert that no one has ever been so close to flawless played. 👋👋👋👋👋

A truly remarkable performance... Yulianna congratulations. God bless you.

31:01 she has such great control of volume, staccato, and pedals, her left-hand thumb touching that D# sounds heavenly. The best performance of this piece I've ever heard.

The Sound. Good Lord the SOUND. Wow... And that glorious middle E flat in La grande porte... Clearly one of the best Pictures I've ever heard, live or studio.

I heard Avdeeva play this piece in Budapest last winter... so wonderful to be able to hear a live recording from another recital! she's such an inspiration, a true artist bringing pure emotions and sharp intelligence into the performance. brilliant heart and mind.

Absolutely beautiful. A very intelligent pianist with so much empathy with the composer’s intentions.

I couldn't believe how she was fully penetrating into the music of Mussorgsky of Pictures while listening her recital at Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall February 2019. It was like a magic, the air of the concert made audience to give their heart to Avdeeva. I knew that she had have a distinctive artistry in her generation. I don't feel like comparing Avdeeva and other artists, but I have to say she is one of the purest and the most honest pianists that I have known so far. She always showed me a sort of essence of the intention of the composers and its music as well. Nowadays, it is hard to deliver the real significance to people because lately classical music has become very commercialised... Despite the fact that the popularisation of the classical music she has been making her genuine efforts to give shape her own deepest values that she seeks in the classical music over the years. In addition to her steadfast attitude towards music, I had been thinking that she will be suitable for her relatively the bigger pieces such as this music and Fantasie in C major, Wanderer, of Franz Schubert which she is playing these days. During the concert, I thought in deed I was correct in the end. She did paint on the piano on how she has been interpreting without exaggeration. I just thought it was so beautiful. I will never forget it... Hope Yulianna Avdeeva's projects goes well.

A dazzling performance. Absolutely brilliant.

Yulianna is simply the best pianist in the world.

She is AMAZING. 😭 Old Castle 🏯 is 😭... beyond words. Piano sound like a whole orchestra id playing.

Great!! You moved me to tears...Perfect times; beautiful cantabile, great clarity. Fantastic artist!!

The best interpretation EVER! Perfect tempo, dynamics, technique, emotions, EVERYTHING! I absolutely love it, and was hoping I could purchase this version on iTunes, but sadly, it's not there. Yulianna Avdeeva did an EXCELLENT job on this piece, as all her others. I'm working on this, and I come here for direction. It works well! lol So thank you, Ms. Avdeeva, thank you.

Great! My super idol🥰

Божественно! Одно из лучших исполнений! Хотелось бы видеть Юлиану на Дальнем Востоке России ❤

I’m always fascinated by the artistry of Yulianna

So charming as she takes her seat. Calm and collected as she begins this monumental work.

Lucky anyone who has heard her in live performance. I'm speechless about this one here. She has got be be or become one of th very great pianists ever? And no film -lam and show-osff tricks. Intelligence, musicality and always servant of the music. Wow. :-)

Especially The Great Gate of Kiev that she plays with exquisite skill Ìs full of the solemnity and the sorrows I can't listen to this music without tears

28:26 Best part!!!! Wonderful!!!! BRAVO!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I don't know the words to describe this piece and her performance. I cry every time. The musci envelops me.

absolutely OUTSTANDING performance!!!! BRAVISSIMO!!

This is the best version of Pictures I've heard.

First heard Yulianna Avdeeva playing the Overture to Tannhauser at a concert in Tokyo. It absolutely left me awestruck. The Liszt arrangement she played is insanely difficult. I wonder at what sacrifices she must have made to acquire such mastery of the Piano. Did she still play with dolls as a little girl? Did she have the usual sleepovers and parties of typical teens? Boyfriends etc.? What was her life like? At any rate, the world has been blessed by her gift and those like her. I feel a deep gratitude for Yulianna Avdeeva and others who attain such excellence. May she and they have a blessed life as they bless others with their talents.

My favourite piece of music, and thus far,, (I'm 47),, that is hands down the best I've heard. Magnificent. Thank you.

absolutely captivating performance, I was entranced by Avdeeva's virtuosity and musicality

I think this performance is the most beautiful and detailed performance of the pictures at an exhibition. I don't know any more performances.

This specutacular performance she plays with exquisite skill and breathtaking technique and splendid attire is beyond description , immeasurable , unfathomable , inspirational , graceful and comfortable to the ear and the mind Without Mussorgsky and his great performer like Yulianna , the classical music world would have been very lonely and insipid , the enjoyment and pleasures of the classical music would have been very less This masterpiece , especially 「 the Great Gate of Kiev 」 is a magnificent Requiem for Mussorgsky's late friend From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

One of the best performances of this great work of art I've ever listened to--thanks so much!!

When quickly evaluating performance of this particular piece, I usually go to 4:13. It is obvious she is an excellent pianist.

Complete pianistic and artistic masterpiece. The charming incident with phone ring shows how free and at home She feels on stage! Marvellous. Music is her life.

Грандиозная пианистка, Совершенство! Думаю,так выглядит идеальное исполнение. Потрясает воображение и душу.

Such a thoughtful performance! A true gem. Congratulations and I look forward to your future endeavors.

This is very beautiful and I enjoyed it immensely! Thx Yulianna

Great performance and interpretation of this great work by a world class pianist ❤❤❤

Dear Yulianna, I must say that your hair always looks so stunning and well made.... Amazing style and playing ❣️ big greeting from Croatia ✨

Yulianna Avdeeva, she´s one of the great performers on XXI Century! I Love her renditions!

Merci! Moussorgski , comme Dostoïevski et comme vous même pensent à juste titre que la beauté est le vrai mystère...celui qui sauvera le monde. Jean Christophe Doubroff

Невозможно оторваться.

Frisch und mit klarem Ton gespielt ! Das gefällt mir, Yulianna. Die innere Ruhe fehlt noch manchmal, denn dieses Stück braucht Nerven aus Stahl.

Absolutely amazing

I find myself scrolling forward to 19'55''. Your playing of this movement in particular is simply stunning! The power, rhythmic excitement and focus is electric! Bravo Yulianna...I've just subscribed!

Finest rendition🙂

Elegante y virtuosa, viva por siempre Yulianna, desde Colombia mil gracias por tan hermosa interpretación.

Una grande musicista e pianista!

This is really amazing performance! Thanks for sharing!!

fabulous!

I met her at a concert where she played the Greig piano concerto in A minor. It was a great experience!

Wonderfull! Thank you.

The best of the best! Thank you so much for your sincere performance!

Surprised found your KZfaq. I like to hear from you more often, see you soon.

Very pleased to see again Julianna after last Chopin competition ( 2015 ? ) where she got first price. Pictures at an exibition is a piano work very often played, but Julianna interpretation here has drawn my attention from beginning to the end . Bravo and Thank you Julianna !

HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE HER?!?

Just discovered, her, superb playing. I like her personality/character/charisma. She packs a lot of power in a slender body... truly an attractive woman... ;-)

Alice Sara Ott, Valentina Lisitsa and Yulianna Avdeeva all three gives exceptional performances of this piece, and I have heard many. I don't know, what is with this piece and women performing it, by the way. Many of the male soloists, who I have heard performing it, makes it sound a bit too dead, in my view, even very good pianists, who I otherwise do love. The three versions of those three great female pianists of our times are by the way very different, but all astonishing in their own right, and quite incredible, that we can listen to these concerts online for free these days.

Thank you, very much.

Впервые мне понравились "Картинки". Раньше с трудом дослушивал до конца. Спасибо огромное.

Congratulations Yulianna, woderful performance, very poetic!

Bravo, excellent performance.

Magnificent! The best performance of this piece I have heard.

Estoy maravillado!!!!!

Perfection

Great. I want to see more videos like this.

Fabulous

Fantastic interpretation! Truly amazing! Thank you for upload.

She is absolutely awesome!

I love your musicality and the way you play piano!!!!!

Me gusta mucho tu interpretación de los cuadros. ¡Gracias!. Pienso que así es esta maravillosa obra de Mussorgsky. Es como yo la entiendo. Fantástico ,bravo❤️! La mejor versión que he escuchado

Sei bravissima! Una delle più belle esecuzioni dei quadri che abbia sentito 🙏

A totally new and different, fresh performance after the well known concerts of Ashkenasy or Lazar Bermann. But it’s a Russian thing. Great concert!

Avdeeva the Amazing. Her physicality is as fascinating & beautiful as her musicality. Love the playfullness at around 15:50.

БРАВА! Очень прекрасное исполнение! Я думаю, что вы очень хорошо понимаеие истиное чувство композиторов, которое существует в каждом произвении, и исполняете без преувеличения. Надеюсь когда-то встречаться с вами в Корее в концертном зале. Спасибо!

Magnificient performance. Great conception, great execution. Rivals Richter's Sofia performance!!!

WOW! Perfection

Wonderful

Bravo 👏🏼!!

This is honestly… SO… GOOD………….

If I'd've been there I would've been on my feet yelling Brava immediately!

intelligent, penetrating and enhancing the mediation between the spirit of the music to my heart. great pianist. my luck!

Since I have heard PaaE many times I thought I would listen to this while working on a task. Performance is so compelling I could not keep my focus on the task.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS, YULIANNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my most favoured music...!!!

Uma performance repleta de personalidade!!! Nada de mesmice. Interpretação verdadeira. Colorido fantástico. Sonoridade é andamento exatos fazem dessa versão um referencial na gravação dessa genial obra prima de Mussorgsky. BRAVO!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I don't know what to say after that, truly remarkable.

Very good interpretation !

Elle est une pianiste merveilleuse.

Meravigliosa Yulianna!!!

This must be the best version of this masterpiece I've ever heard. Bravo! The promenades were delicate and the pictures were beautifully colored on the piano keys. The Gnomus could have a little more forte for my taste, but otherwise it's perfect!

Wow, impressive. This lady is a master at her craft.

Mastery…no words otherwise…

Bravo! 👏👏👏

MARVELOUS 💝.....! MARVELOUS 💝✨🌍🎹....! MARVELOUS......!🎵💌
