Yuja Wang was sensational. I loved her energy and all the stamina she had by performing FOUR encores after a challenging program.

Can someone please tell me:

1) The arranger of “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” that she played.

2) Title and composer of her 3rd and 4th encores.

Thank you!

I forgot to ask–can someone please tell me the name of the encore piece?

I enjoyed the concert overall. I liked his equisite tone in Mozart. While he could play L’isle joyeuse technically well, personally I wuold have liked him to take more time in certain spots to “sing” more in melodic lines. I am completely unfamiliar with the Szymanowski’s piece so I can’t comment on that. But I noticed one thing and I’m curious whether other people felt the same way–did anyone think the upper register of the piano is not bright enough? It seems to me that the sounds that came from the upper register of the piano didn’t project as much as I would have liked to hear. Could this be due to where I was sitting (Section 9, Mezzanine)?

I enjoyed the second half of the program more, probably because I’m more familiar with the pieces. Again, I noticed that if the upper register of the piano has brighter tone quality,or somehow if the upper register can project more powerful sound, I would have even enjoyed the pieces more.

I’m most impressed with the amount of mental and physical energy it takes to play a solo program such as the one tonight. Thank you for bringing Mr. Blechacz to Ann Arbor.
