Yuja Wang: Star on the piano and Viennese by choice

Yuja Wang is a world star on the piano. She tells why she loves Vienna. Vienna and music - they belong together. Quite a few artists choose Vienna as the center of their lives and work, because Vienna is rightly called the world capital of music.

Viennese of choice identify with "their Vienna", they are just as much Viennese originals as those Viennese who were born here and who make Vienna Vienna through their manner, their activities, their charm.
In Vienna, music lovers listen to live classical music night after night. Throughout the year, Vienna's concert calendar features thousands of events of all genres and sizes. No other city has produced so many composers - Mozart, Mahler, Haydn, Beethoven, Schönberg and the waltz king Johann "Schani" Strauss. The Vienna Philharmonic and the Vienna Boys' Choir set the tone at the top of the world, and the State Opera and the Golden Musikverein Hall are among the world's best performance venues. Tradition that lasts - after all, today the electronic sound of local musicians and top DJs is in demand internationally.

Ich kann jedes Wort bestätigen! Ich war gestern, am 10. Juni 24, im Wiener Musikverein bei dem Recital Konzert von Yuja Wang. Es ist schon eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre, und Yuja beherrschte den Abend mit ihrer nicht zu fassenden Kunst, Variabilität, Kraft und Musikalität. Ich komme wieder!

What joy hearing this charming, talented girl this morning! Thank you, Yuja, for brightening this world. Grandmother from Alabama

So full of musical history, it must seep into the very stones of this beautiful city.
It is so natural that Yuja absorbs this beauty into her very being - then returns it with advantages to us and the world.

If anyone can positively embellish Vienna it is this angel at the grand piano. She is charming, naturally beautiful and certainly one of the finest musicians alive. She deserves Vienna and Vienna deserves Yuja.

Es una de las mejores pianistas del mundo, pero se le nota que no tiene ni idea de la historia de Austria. Se le nota su educación norteamericana.

Can someone tell me what was that piece she was playing in the middle of the video? Thank you

[BarryWahLee]

I had Viennese friend with whom I felt unusually safe in a shifting emotional world I was and still am in. Music can soothe that too if it understands and respects that.

Гениальность этой пианистки очень сомнительна. Просто хорошая пианистка-шоумен.
