Yuja Wang is one of the most important artists of her generation and knows how to captivate listeners of all ages. »She has an unforced, brilliant piano playing that would have made Prokofiev – who was a great pianist – as envious as the legendary Horowitz,« the Los Angeles Times said of Wang. Critics highlight her virtuosity and technical mastery, as well as her charismatic stage presence. But for the pianist, her art is in the service of emotional expression and musical interpretation; technique must never be an end in itself. Her artistic credo is both simple and complex: »I want to relate all of life to music,« she recently told the Observer.
