People are Talking: UMS Presents Yuja Wang at Hill Auditorium [plus AUDIO]:
That was the most amazing piano playing I have ever heard. Juja Wang sang out the melody no matter where it was: imbedded in exceptionally difficult passages, in the inner fingers, bringing it forth with gorgeous tone from the first note she sounded. I felt she must be imagining either visual images or dance-like movement—-in any case it made me see splashes of images and movement. I know nothing about Juja except that I went to her concert and I’m so glad I did. Never have I heard the tones, the lyricism and the technical brilliance that she played with. Brava! I’m glad we all had a chance to hear her. Thanks, UMS and Juja, and thanks for the great program, including the encores!
