    Yuja Wang’s philosophy of music is both simple and profoundly complex. “I want to relate all life to music,” she recently told veteran British critic Fiona Maddocks. The Beijing-born pianist’s latest album for Deutsche Grammophon, set for international release on 23 November 2018, captures the white heat of solo works by Rachmaninov, Prokofiev, Scriabin and Ligeti, a trio of Russians together with one of the late 20th-century’s greatest composers. The Berlin Recital was recorded live this summer at the Berlin Philharmonie’s Kammermusiksaal during Yuja’s extensive solo tour of North America and Europe.

    WHEW! Is it weird that I give a standing ovation to my tv in my living room? And...aside from EVERYTHING (awesome) that comes before...those last two minutes of the sonata; the utter cast-iron concentration needed for unerring and explicit note accuracy, the unflagging tempo and HUGE power to the end...is beyond all words of appreciation. YUJA = superwoman-Queen-of-the-keyboard-the greatest-EVER! I'm sure Prokofiev would be overjoyed with her.

      I don't know about that. From all the quotes, words and interviews from Yuja it would seem most of what we see comes more as a result of passion than hard work. She herself said she doesn't like to practice that much because, I gather, she feels it doesn't help her creativity on stage. Just look at videos of Yuja as a child. She doesn't look serious or haggard. She looks like she is in a state of bliss and like she is pretending she's already a concert pianist. In other words the piano was always a toy/refuge and/or escape for her. Remember she didn't take up the violin because THAT was considered work to her. She probably plays piano whenever one happens to be nearby; parties, bars, interviews etc., so even though she might not practice as much as other pianists she probably still puts more time in playing the piano than they do practicing on it.

      Wang’s powerful virtuosity stronger on flash than depth in Boston recital
      May 13, 2018
      By Aaron Keebaugh
      Yuja Wang performed Friday night at Jordan Hall for the Celebrity Series. Photo: Robert Torres
      ...
      There is no doubting Yuja Wang’s technique at the keyboard. The Chinese-born pianist is capable of unleashing torrents of octave runs, and her left-hand figures supply an almost orchestral sense of depth and gravity to her sound. She clearly shapes every phrase, and her notes resonate with a ping.
      ...
      Still, there were times Friday night when one wondered if Wang only saw some of this music as just showpieces for her mesmerizing technical skill. Her selections of Rachmaninoff Preludes and Études-tableaux, though played deftly, didn’t always flower with the vocal quality so integral to the composer’s style.
      Wang takes a full-bodied approach to Rachmaninoff, and she renders his textures in multi-dimensional shapes. In the Prelude in G minor, Op. 23, No. 5, her strong left hand figures tethered the march rhythms to the ground. The Prelude in B minor, Op. 32, No. 10 unfolded in Debussyian washes of color. In the Étude-tableau in E-flat minor, Op. 39, No. 5, Wang’s harmonies and bass lines crashed together in blistering clusters. But in each, Rachmaninoff sense of sweeping grandeur went largely unexplored.
      Three of Ligeti’s Etudes, which filled out the program, were similarly muscular but lacking in probing musicality. Wang’s running chromatic figures blurred into a fog in Etude No. 9, “Vertige,” and in Etude No. 1, “Désordre,” churning Bartókian rhythms propelled the music ever forward. In Etude No. 3, “Touches bloquées,” Wang’s performance needed more of the intimacy that this music requires. Though Wang played the work quickly-as marked-the Etude’s halo-like harmonics, caused by the pianist keeping some of the keys depressed with the left hand while punching out syncopated figures with the right, failed to shimmer. Ligeti incorporated difficult passages into these works not as vehicles for showboating but to create ethereal musical tapestries. And throughout, it seemed as if Wang was playing Ligeti’s notes, not Ligeti’s music.
      ...
      The program will be repeated 8 p.m. Thursday night at Carnegie Hall in New York. carnegiehall.org.

And Petrenko's most recent Philharmonic program also fits into this It moves exclusively in the first half of the 20th century, and Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3 is clearly the main attraction of the evening, especially as the Chinese Yuja Wang reaches into the keys, a pianist, half Circus horse, half machine, with a lurid record tempi in the outer sets and mercilessly accurate chord attacks.Whoever had always suspected that the piano is a drum kit, will feel confirmed by Yuja Wang." ...

      Feb. 12, 2019
      In all seriousness: What can’t Yuja Wang do?
      This star pianist has built her reputation on breathtaking mastery of the standard repertory, like the chamber works she played last Wednesday with the violinist Leonidas Kavakos at Carnegie Hall. Or Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto, which she’ll do with the Boston Symphony Orchestra later this week.
      But in between those two dates, she stopped by Carnegie’s Zankel Hall on Monday for something entirely different: a comedy show. One with music, of course. And, as always, she was radiant in Rachmaninoff and Lutoslawski.
      But there was - more.
      She rapped! She sang and danced through a “West Side Story” medley! She did one-legged, upside-down yoga on a piano bench! And along the way, she never lost an ounce of virtuosity.

    She's a great pianist, despite the fashion stuff that surround her (disgraceful to me, and it engaged just me). Her Scarbo from Ravel was soo deeply sticking to the scarbo story! Maybe best interpretation of heard? The story telling was excellent (ans so much mastering the piece!)
    Here, she shrink her dynamics to much to the strong nuance level, restraining her economic of means. She's very interested by Prokofiev, so I guess she have a meaning. Still, maybe little shade due to the virtuosity show.

      @@marcossidoruk8033 No, it isn't. But, for a fanatic of other pianists with, dare I say it, a silly prejudice against Ms. Wang, the agenda is more obvious than any true and balanced musical critique. If you could read a score or play the piano, writing that this is an 'awful performance' would be and is ridiculous.
      So, what IS awful, is your musically shallow and biased troll...

    Who is Yuja? Product PR and show industry! Absolutely ordinary pianist, pulled onto the stage by mafia structures for the sexual entertainment of snotty youths and old libertines! Her videos and interviews multiply at the rate of cholera spread! She filled the entire Internet with her "art" consisting of a half-naked body. We must finally say: enough !!!

    Wang’s powerful virtuosity stronger on flash than depth in Boston recital

    ...
    There is no doubting Yuja Wang’s technique at the keyboard. The Chinese-born pianist is capable of unleashing torrents of octave runs, and her left-hand figures supply an almost orchestral sense of depth and gravity to her sound. She clearly shapes every phrase, and her notes resonate with a ping.
    ...
    Still, there were times Friday night when one wondered if Wang only saw some of this music as just showpieces for her mesmerizing technical skill. Her selections of Rachmaninoff Preludes and Études-tableaux, though played deftly, didn’t always flower with the vocal quality so integral to the composer’s style.
    Wang takes a full-bodied approach to Rachmaninoff, and she renders his textures in multi-dimensional shapes. In the Prelude in G minor, Op. 23, No. 5, her strong left hand figures tethered the march rhythms to the ground. The Prelude in B minor, Op. 32, No. 10 unfolded in Debussyian washes of color. In the Étude-tableau in E-flat minor, Op. 39, No. 5, Wang’s harmonies and bass lines crashed together in blistering clusters. But in each, Rachmaninoff sense of sweeping grandeur went largely unexplored.
    Three of Ligeti’s Etudes, which filled out the program, were similarly muscular but lacking in probing musicality. Wang’s running chromatic figures blurred into a fog in Etude No. 9, “Vertige,” and in Etude No. 1, “Désordre,” churning Bartókian rhythms propelled the music ever forward. In Etude No. 3, “Touches bloquées,” Wang’s performance needed more of the intimacy that this music requires. Though Wang played the work quickly-as marked-the Etude’s halo-like harmonics, caused by the pianist keeping some of the keys depressed with the left hand while punching out syncopated figures with the right, failed to shimmer. Ligeti incorporated difficult passages into these works not as vehicles for showboating but to create ethereal musical tapestries. And throughout, it seemed as if Wang was playing Ligeti’s notes, not Ligeti’s music.
    ...
    The program will be repeated 8 p.m. Thursday night at Carnegie Hall in New York. carnegiehall.org.

      i really feel sry for this kind of people: lack of knowledge about piano playing, so have no idea how to make difference between ordinary and extraordinary, so he has to look into circumstances (clothing etc.), also need copy paste a review, to decide what is good, and he prefers conservatism, and in his mind there is a connection between value and conservative clothing, or rather he thinks that not conservative clothing means that its for hiding her poor piano qualities... It ends in a hilarious hostility, and conspiration theories. In real she is an extraordinary pianist with unbeliavable skills. As always, lack of knowledge ends in hostile bullshit.

      Why is it, do you suppose, that Ms. Wang was named the 2017 artist of the year by Musical America, the classical music publication, which said in announcing its annual honors that she “represents a new breed - the complete, thoroughly modern package”? As with any artist, if you don't enjoy their style of performance then listen to someone else. And if you don't enjoy her splashy, sexy style of dress but like her music, why don't you close your eyes? I'd say we are lucky to have someone with her talents to enjoy along with so many other extraordinary pianists. Of course she isn't perfect but I find many of her performances to be exhilarating.
