I can almost see Philip Glass looking at her in awe

[purpleowl]

Yuja Wang never fails to amaze me with her refreshing approach to music and her willingness to experiment and break out of classical norms

[Madaduxum]

One of the most beautiful piano compositions of Glass right up there with Morning Passages and Metamorphosis no. 1.

[Howardsteinway]

Epiphany of life, the beginning, calming but rising tempo, the storm, calm, back to storm, calm again, new unexpected storm, then calm beginning again and off into other shores

As usual Yuja, you are nothing short of amazing! Thank You.

[francbocek]

I went to her concert last week in Tokyo, and she played it as an encore song, I felt bit nostalgic because of this melody...but so nice😊

[eduardoitabaiana]

Ore 18- l'interpretazione di YUJA-WANG è travolgente, appassionata, emozionante - è una Artista Interprete dotata di grande sensibilità passione, comunicatività - un Genio pianistico colma di Talento ❤

[andyanderson]

No contest what so ever. The Brilliant Yuja is the obvious, and finest pianist in anything she does. Such pleasure to listen to.

[chrystalzhou]

Perfection in every way! Encore Yujia! Encore! 🌹🌹🌹🌹

I would love to see Hiromi and Yuja perform together.

[Who_Let_the_Dawn_In]

Am in tears watching this performance. What a boss. Spectacular performance.

[chicobicalho]

When I first heard about her, almost 20 years ago, I thought -"oh, no, here comes the female Lang Lang". How completely wrong I was, and how discriminating (although, I am part Cantonese). Yuja Wang is the most special pianist, and she will get better. I am thrilled that, as long as I live she will be around playing the piano as one does magic.

[carmenaballi]

Tiene otros estudios también… y son maravillosos, ¡maravillosa!

유자왕 감정의 기복이 느껴지는....드라마틱 한거 같아요... 너무 좋네요~~유자왕

[megalomaniacko]

I saw her in 2020. Need to see her again.

[peter.]

This is very evocative playing. I can almost hear a voice... "With all new pre-collision braking, the 2021 Subaru Impreza is the best in class for safety..."

Du fragst, wie mir das Lied gelungen ist,
Den Tiefen meiner Brust entsprungen ist? -
Wer nur begeistert von des Goldes Glanz
Und zum Gesange nur gedungen ist;
Wer seinem Herrn mit Sang die Zeit vertreibt,
Weil er als Knecht dazu gezwungen ist:
Deß Lied erstirbt sogleich in der Geburt,
Weil's nicht von Lebensgluth durchdrungen ist. -
Nur wer vom Saft der Trauben tief erglüht
Und von der Liebe fest umschlungen ist;
Nur wessen heißentbrannter Busen voll
Von wonnigen Erinnerungen ist;
Nur wem das Herz im trunknen Busen wogt
Noch eh' in Worten es gesungen ist;
Nur wen es tief im Innersten durchbebt,
Noch eh' in Tönen es erklungen ist;
Nur wessen Denken, wessen Fühlen ganz
Dem Lied gleich, dem ewig jungen ist: -
Nur der singt frisch und frei wie Hafis sang
Des Lied und Lob auf allen Zungen ist!

Wilhelm Toporoff (1817-1873), Das Lied

Legend has it, she's doing the QWOP 100 meters in under 8 Seconds. Blindfolded.
