Lightroom Live: Yuja x Hockney

In September 2023, we were joined by the internationally acclaimed pianist Yuja Wang, for the first edition of Lightroom Live. A Steinway grand piano stood within Lightroom’s vast space, where Yuja performed a repertoire of pieces inspired by David Hockney’s Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) across 6 intimate concerts.
If you weren't lucky enough to see these unique concerts last time, Lightroom invites you for a sneak peak into a musical experience unlike any other.
Following her sell-out run in 2023, we’re thrilled to share that Yuja Wang will take over Lightroom once more for 7 shows in September 2024. Tickets are on sale now.

Breathtaking. ❤

[@banana_GGG]

I didn't know Yuja has played La Campanella…

[@MarshallArtz007]

Is there anything she _doesn’t_ play?
😎🎹

[@beckerhanshermann8372]

@@MarshallArtz007 yes, Purcell, Byrd, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and that's ok, she can't

[@michaelschefold3299]

​@@MarshallArtz007she played a marvellous Bach c-minor Toccata, some Bach piano concertos as a pianist/conductor, Mozart's "Jeunehomme" - concerto as a pianist/conductor, too, some Beethoven-sonatas (one of the best interpretations of his op.106, a marvellous op.31,3, op.111...)
All Beethoven piano concertos (no.1 and two as a pianist/conductor), Beethoven's triple concerto...
Don't believe this troll who answered on your "question".
He has no clue about music and about Yuja. 🤪

@@beckerhanshermann8372 hello ! What do you mean by « she can’t » ?

[@beckerhanshermann8372]

@@michaelschefold3299 1. so, so: the C minor Toccata, but no partitas, no suites, no Goldberg Variations, no "Art of Fugue" (like Trifonov)
2 Mozart wrote 30 piano concertos. How many does Wang play in public?
3. Wang and op 31.3: Read the reviews of the Viennese newspapers, in Vienna they know something about Beethoven's sonatas. She didn't convince anyone.
4. Wang's interpretation of op 106 has not been praised by the critics in Europe.
She was occasionally accused of not having understood the work. In the USA, she was recognised as having attempted something difficult. Wang turned the performance of op 106 into a show: At Carnegie Hall, she performed with a long slit dress and bare thighs from foot to hip.
Perhaps it is these images that have permanently clouded your judgement?
1. So, so: die c-moll Toccata, aber keine Partiten, keine Suiten, keine Goldbergvariationen, keine „Kunst der Fuge“ (wie Trifonov)
2. Mozart hat 30 Klavierkonzerte geschrieben. Wieviel spielt Wang öffentlich?
3. Wang und op 31.3: Lesen Sie mal die Kritiken der Wiener Zeitungen, in Wien versteht man etwas von Beethovens Sonaten. Sie hat niemanden überzeugt.
4. Wangs Interpretation von op 106 ist in Europa von der Kritik nicht gelobt
worden, ihr wurde vereinzelt unterstellt, sie habe das Werk nicht verstanden. In den USA hat man ihr zugestanden, dass sie etwas Schwieriges versucht hat. Wang hat aus der Darbietung von op 106 eine Show gemacht: In der Carnegie-Hall ist sie mit lang geschlitztem Kleid und entblößten Schenkeln vom Fuß bis zur Hüfte aufgetreten.
Vielleicht sind es diese Bilder, die Ihre Urteilsfähigkeit nachhaltig eingetrübt haben?

Best campanella ever

[@xinchuan8188]

从这个角度，充分感受到了王羽佳的惊人技巧。她的表演轻盈舒展，挥洒自如。尽显自然灵动之美，令人赞叹。从这个曲目的意境效果来看，叫风铃比钟更合适。

[@MarshallArtz007]

Beautiful artwork by David Hockney, but I wonder if this setting would overshadow the performer? 🧐🎹
