Whoa! Yuja Wang

[dss62467]

I stumbled across Yuja on YouTube yesterday while looking for a recording of a Prokofiev concerto.   Then I bought her Sonatas & Etudes album from iTunes.  Have you heard her interpretation of "Alla Turca"?   I saw it on the list and thought, oh man... I've already got 2 versions of this.  How many pianists have to record this piece?  Well.... Yuja makes it her own.  All that talent and she's really cute too.   Grrrrr.

You should see the Wild Man...

post a link... I'm very much enjoying watching and listening to others play these days.   Listening to Lang Lang right now.

I listened to her interpretation of Prokofiev's third piano concerto (with Claudio Abbado). It was simply phenomenal to me.

Her Petrushka as encores are also as brilliant, and yet depressing for me too.

I'm sorry I really can't join the Yuja Wang fan club. When I hear her playing I hear an awesome technique with almost no warmth at all.

That's ok.... she's very young... it may come.  She's no Martha Argerich, but I still really love her.

Oh wow, her playing is brilliant. Her fingers fly so fluently!

I only listened to her Chromatique etude recording so far, it was more then great.

mmm gonna listen to some more I think...

[pianisten1989]

Is she able to play anything that isn't uber-virtuoso?

[point of grace]

depressing for me too.

yah... she is younger than me!!! i first listened to her 2 years ago in the first recording i heard for prokofieff second piano concerto... i didnt pay attention to the performer... i thought it was an "x pianist" and i also thought she was a boy!! lol... because of her name... i have no idea about chinese... i can barely speak English!! so now im so jealous too!
