About
Yuja Wang is one of the leading pianists of her generation, her playing marked by precision, a vivid musical imagination and finely-controlled sound. In Béla Bartók’s rhythmically-charged and energetic First Piano Concerto, she enters into a tense dialogue with the orchestra – above all with the percussion. In this work, Yuja Wang has said, Bartók “created a unique sound world.” A beguiling contrast is provided by Johannes Brahms’s Serenade No. 1: inspired by Viennese Classicism, light in tone, dance-like in gesture, and infused with a joyful, Romantic sense of the natural world.
