The Vienna Recital CD

Description:

2023 Grammy-nominated Yuja Wang demonstrates her incredible range of interpretation with this eclectic program from her highly acclaimed 2022 Vienna recital. The star pianist displays her fiery virtuosity in little-known compositions by Gyrgy Ligeti and Nikolai Kapustin, as well as her mature musicality in masterpieces by Ludwig van Beethoven and Alexander Scriabin, and her musical imagination in sublime miniatures by Isaac Albniz. Yuja finishes with virtuoso encores spanning the history of music from Christoph Willibald Gluck to Philipp Glass. Technical mastery and interpretative refinement define her playing, without ever losing any of her emotionality. Its not unlike a gallery exhibition encompassing multiple artists, where the curator gives careful consideration to the venues dimensions and the size of each painting. As such, a palpable organic flow and sense of cumulative momentum govern the peaks and valleys of Yuja Wangs provocative running order.
