"... knockout performances of two of the most difficult concertos in the repertory."
- ClassicalCDReview.com
"... powerful playing ... the monstrously difficult cadenza in the Prokofiev seems like child's play in her hands."
- Pianist
“Editor's Choice: a very special talent indeed ... a wonderfully gifted and thoughtful musician, capable of both superb technical artistry and emotional reflection.”
- Gramophone
Yuja Wang brings a fantastic and youthful energy to this 2013 live recording, featuring her spritely, lively and highly focussed rendition of Prokofiev's Op. 16 concerto which displays her deep understanding of the work. Joined by Gustavo Dudamel and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, Wang dazzles and delights, combining passion, excitement, intensity and flawless technique.
"I recorded those composers because I feel I’m confident enough now to record them. But Prokofiev, I feel very close to because he’s really naughty and sarcastic with all those really edgy, saucy colours."
- Yuja Wang
