Yuja Wang, has always been the perfect chamber musician. She offers us a a masterpiece of precision, of listening to her partner, of musical sense. Mvmt 1 : 00:14 Mvmt 2 : 11:33 Mvmt 3 : 25:45

Yuja Wang plays the most beautiful of Beethoven's piano concertos. We will appreciate the extreme delicacy of the slow movement (one of the most beautiful dialogues ever written between piano and orchestra), and the crystalline purity of the fast movements. A Beethoven almost Mozartian, despite its energy. 1er mvmt : 00:12 2e mvmt : 19:32 3e mvmt : 25:07

In a open-air concert at Berlin's Waldbühne on June 22, 2024, Yuja Wang played the Prokofiev's First Concerto, accompanied by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Kirill Petrenko. The sound quality of the recording is not very good, but once again we can admire the pianist's incredible mastery. A scintillating performance of unequalled clarity and vitality.

Thanks to the person who recorded this piece! Not without difficulty, I unearthed a score of this transcription (by Boris Gitburg) of the Allegro molto from Shostakovich's Eighth Quartet. But it's not exactly what Yuja Wang plays. What she plays is more difficult than what the score suggests (she often plays octaves where the score indicates single notes). And I confess that even as a page-turn...

Here's another encore from the Paris recital on June 5, 2024. Thanks to the person who recorded it! It's a moving example of Yuja's delicate touch, which remains ethereal, impalpable, even when the score is the most dense and most complex.

Here's one of the many encores Yuja played at her Paris recital on June 5, 2024. Thanks to the person who recorded it! It's an almost frightening example of her mastery of the keyboard. She plays this extremely difficult Toccata at an unheard tempo. Not only is the result impeccable, but once you've digested that mad tempo, you realize that the work, under her fingers, if it's hectic, it's no l...

The sound quality is that of a cell phone, and so is the picture. Nevertheless, I'd like to thank the person who captured this Quatrième Ballade for us, and it's such a treasure that I can't resist publishing it with the score. In the fast, forte passages, the sound unfortunately blurs, while Yuja's touch is always absolutely clear. But this recording, with all its flaws, still allows us to hea...

Here's a find that I hope will delight all Yuja fans: the first movement of Chopin's Second Concerto, which she played at the age of... 7 years old, according to the date indicated by the Chinese TV. But as someone pointed out to me, it's likely that she was older at the time (around 10 years). In any case, the result is magnificent! The picture is mediocre, and so is the sound (and the synchro...

Thanks to Peter Chen, who first published this recording. I just added the score. Yuja Wang plays this musical haiku with facetious precision...

At the age of nine, Yuja played Claude Debussy's 1st Arabesque in Paris. 27 years later, in the same city, she played the last part again. The comparison is moving. Both versions versions follow almost the same tempo, but the 2023 version is more undulating and caressing, more emotional and nostalgic too. On the whole, nevertheless, Yuja is true to herself, to the simple classicism of her child...

What's the purest touch in the world? Answer below...(Warning: Yuja skips the first three staves of the piece)

I thought I had put this video online a long time ago but I can't find it. So I'm (re?)posting it now, because it's a wonder. Who better than Yuja Wang is capable of this perfect blend of joyful vitality and crystalline precision, of rigor and exuberance? Russian Dance: 0:05 Petrouchka's Room: 2:28 La semaine grasse: 6:47

It is a rare document, that I decide to (re)publish despite its technical defects: the sound quality is very low. Moreover, the first 3 bars and almost the whole page 4 are missing (it is difficult to know if it is a cut by the filmmaker or a memory lapse of Yuja !). But this interpretation, with its almost ferocious energy, really deserves to be known. I had already published it a few years ag...

This brilliant and ardent work, enthusiastic and painful, hides many allusions to the life of its composer. The most mysterious is the "Sphinxes" that appear just after the "Réplique" piece. Four isolated notes, then three, then four again, which sound the strangest. In fact, they are letter-notes, in German musical notation, and allude both to the hometown of a loved one of Schumann's and to t...
