Description
• The Berlin Album – Yuja Wang’s impassioned survey of landmark works by Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Ligeti and Prokofiev
• Yuja Wang stirs memories of legendary artists with interpretations of boundless imagination, jaw-dropping technical command and transcendent power
Russian romanticism and timeless late 20th-century miniatures occupy Yuja Wang in her solo recital album. Yuja Wang’s philosophy of music is both simple and profoundly complex. “I want to relate all life to music,” she says. The Beijing-born pianist’s album 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 at the Berlin Philharmonie’s Kammermusiksaal during Yuja’s extensive solo tour of North America and Europe.
