“Yuja Wang sent the Konzerthaus into raptures … the hall went wild!” (Der Standard, Vienna) – on 26 April 2022 the virtuoso pianist Yuja Wang thrilled her Viennese audience with an astonishingly eclectic mix of repertoire. Recorded and filmed live on the night, the programme ranged from the early Classicism of Gluck to the improvisatory jazz piano of Kapustin, via music by Albéniz, Beethoven, Glass, Scriabin and more. As can be heard on her forthcoming album, taken from that acclaimed recital, Yuja displayed an effortless ease in switching between different eras and genres. “I believe that every programme should have its own life and reflect my current feelings” – Yuja Wang
