She is not only a true musician but a true athlete as well.

[jayr]

WOW. The only other thing I can think to say is that I am grateful there is a repeat button. What an amazing performer.

[art]

Every concert confirms that YW is the best piano player, at least, of this century

[philipmanfredi]

Yuja is amazing to the point of beyond human. Her hands and fingers move faster and more accurately than ... light. I started watching her performances about a year ago and haven't stopped since! She throws her entire being into her performances, her musical talent and gifted hands, and her entire body. The performance becomes a veritable workout for her. The eighth wonder of the world.

[Astrid-jtcd]

The most brilliant young artist we have today. Bravissimo yuja

[christopherczajasager]

Has her own extraordinary ideas, always supported by best taste and transcendental pianism. Certainly among the greatest today

[JohnNiemsMusic]

I can not stop watching her since I started a few days ago! And BTW I looked her biography up and today is her 36th birthday February 10th 2023! Happy Birthday YUJA WANG!!! Your fingers just dance so easy on those keys!

[marksamiylov]

Yuja’s appearance really matches the mood of this concerto

[iampracticingpiano]

6:45 So tender, yet without sentimentality. So special!

[johnstevens]

Wow!!! This performance was absolutely beautiful and amazing. Yuga is so talented and beautiful.

[Cyrilmc]

Thank you so much Yuja, I really really enjoyed watching you playing so fantastically and with such amazing passion and sensitivity too. You look as always absolutely stunning and gorgeous too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤

[michaelschefold]

An excerpt from "bachtrack": "she can traverse the keyboard from end to end, shaping dynamics and adding rubato, with the perfect evenness unbroken. She can produce a pianissimo down to a whisper, so perfectly articulated that you can hear every nuance even in the giant space of Albert Hall...Wang does things that other pianists can't."

[paulpizzo]

MIND BOGGLING....SHE CAN PLAY A PIECE FOR THE FIRST TIME AS IF SHE HAS PLAYED IT 101 ARE NO WORDS FOR HER TECHNIQUE AND IN A LIFETIME PIANIST....SO GLAD I WAS ABLE TO WITNESS THIS PERFECTION....I'LL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN IN MY LIFE

[Dylonely_]

I love this concerto, Liszt did such a great work with this !

[AthSamaras]

A unique work for piano, a unique listening space, a unique pianist... Yuja Wang...!!!

[cecilgriffiths]

[SpiramusPresents]

She is There alright and we are blessed to have her transport and transcend us !!!! Thank you Yuja!!!
