Enchantment!
the introduction was the longest i have
ever heard. i made tea while she was still
talking
What a command she possesses even at that young age and the ending is. . . full command.
According to the host’s introduction, she was 12, not 10.
Yuja is one of the greatest pianist/musicians of her generation.
And how adorable she was at age ten, playing so beautifully.
Love ya, Yuja!
Sheer delight.
Adorable.
I can’t wait to listen to an older, more mature Yuja Wang. It will probably be a hell of a treat.
Love it!
Her videos while @ Curtis are also a treat!
Not only ‘adorable’ but musically entirely mature and right. Amazing….!
If you speak the last four words of the title of this post quickly and repeatedly, you get linguistically confused and the pianist gets a longer name.
She was fully dressed in her childhood and youth, were her concert gags so bad later that she could only play the piano half-naked?
And she has already played the Fortepiano Sonata op 106, in 2016 in New York, unfortunately not as convincing as Beethoven’s op 129.
