On the heels of her impressive Deutsche Grammophon debut recital\nalbum, pianist Yuja Wang’s return recording for the label –\nTransformation – categorically demonstrates that she is a young\nmaster of the Steinway.
\n
Her new album excites with a demanding recital that includes\nsome of the most electrifying pieces of piano literature –\nStravinsky’s Petrushka, Brahms’s Variations on a Theme by Paganini,\nScarlatti’s Sonatas in E and B minor, and Ravel’s La Valse.
\n
Yuja Wang’s ability to take her music by storm is tempered by a\nsophisticated musicality that never distorts the line.
\n
Transformation highlights Yuja Wang’s penchant for piecing\ntogether high concept programs the public adores.
\n
As The New York Times observes, “She seems to have everything:\nspeed, flexibility, pianistic thunder, and interpretive nuance.”\nIndeed!
