Why see Yuja Wang?

CHINA'S NEWEST GLAMOROUS YOUNG CLASSICAL SUPERSTAR

Recognised for her eye-catching outfits and glamorous stage persona as well as her virtuoso pianist skills, Wang is a rising star in international classical music, hailing from Beijing and from a musical family to boot. At the tender age of 11, Wang was accepted to the Morningside Music Bridge International Music Festival in Calgary, making her the youngest ever student. Wang is touring the US, hitting the in , , to give you a taste of why she is being hailed as one of the most promising young classical artists to come out of China.

She has received widespread attention for her glamorous stage appearances but the main praise is reserved for her exquisite skill at tinkling the ivories, with the San Francisco Chronicle in 2012 commending her as "quite simply, the most dazzlingly, uncannily gifted pianist in the concert world today". She has won multiple awards for her playing, with the most recent being the 2011 Echo Klassik Young Artist of the Year.

Yuja unappreciated by OC crowd

Miss Wang’s performance Tuesday night at Disney was amazing. Last night at Segerstrom was less so I think because the orange county crowd went there to see her sexy outfits and pyrotechnic piano playing. They did not understand (accept) Yuja’s mellower program of lesser known pieces. Let’s allow some diversity and experimentation. I loved it! ... Read more

Most mixed recital I've ever heard..and why was she so upset??

Very strange recital. Yuja decided not to follow the written program, and seemed to be deciding in the moment what to play next, but this led to most of the audience not having a clue what they were listening to or when to applaud. The Scriabin (Sonatas #4 and 5) were spectacular, transcendental and technically phenomenal, as was Ravel Barque sur L'Ocean. But in my opinion Ms. Wang needs to rethink her Chopin and Brahms - wrong sound, wildly erratic rhythm - the mazurkas were bizarre. Berg Sonata was a big blur. And why was she so upset at the end of the concert? Audience clapped for almost 5 minutes before she came out, scowled and went backstage...no encore. ... Read more
