YUJA WAS UNUSUALLY GREATER THAN GREAT !!!!!
SAME AS THE TITLE
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!
Yuji Wang--piano
Loved her performance! Just might be the high point of my year! Discovered a wonderful sushi restaurant just across the street pre-show. Was on the back row, auditorium-seating. Wish I had opera glasses. I asked if they had any available/for rent, which they did not.
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.

No question she is pianist virtuoso, but this afternoon’s performance was underwhelming
Puzzling
Changing the program order added unnecessary confusion to a recital which included a number of pieces not often performed.
