Info for Rachmaninoff: The Piano Concertos & Paganini Rhapsody
Anlässlich des 150. Geburtstags von Sergej Rachmaninow (1873-1943) führten Yuja Wang und das L. A. Philharmonic unter der Leitung von Gustavo Dudamel an zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Wochenenden alle vier Klavierkonzerte des Komponisten sowie seine Rhapsodie über ein Thema von Paganini auf. Dieses ehrgeizige Projekt fand in der Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles statt, der Stadt, in der Rachmaninoff die letzten Monate seines Lebens verbrachte. Jetzt veröffentlicht Deutsche Grammophon die Aufnahme dieser ausverkauften und von der Kritik gefeierten Aufführungen. "Wang spielte mit außergewöhnlicher Kraft, Tiefe und Brillanz. Dudamel suchte die Erleuchtung. Der Pianist und der Dirigent haben eine lange musikalische Beziehung, und das zeigte sich. Was am meisten beeindruckte, war die Konzentration. Sobald jede Aufführung begann, schien alles andere zu verschwinden." (Los Angeles Times) Rachmaninow, selbst ein außerordentlich begabter Pianist, schrieb eine breite Palette ausdrucksstarker, idiomatischer Musik für sein Instrument, darunter diese fünf groß angelegten Werke für Klavier und Orchester. Sie gehören seit Beginn von Yuja Wangs Karriere zu ihrem Repertoire, und sie bereichert deren kaleidoskopischen Reichtum immer wieder mit neuen Erkenntnissen. Sie hat mehrfach mit Gustavo Dudamel und dem Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra zusammengearbeitet, und diese Aufführungen vermitteln ein starkes Gefühl von gegenseitigem Respekt und Verständnis. Wie Dudamel bemerkt: "Wir verbinden uns, als ob wir Kammermusik spielen würden.
"[Yuja] spielte mit außergewöhnlicher Kraft, Tiefe und Brillanz. Als Begleiter sorgte Dudamel für Erleuchtung. Die Pianistin und der Dirigent haben eine lange musikalische Beziehung, und das zeigte sich. Was am meisten beeindruckte, war die Konzentration. Sobald jede Aufführung begann, schien alles andere zu verschwinden." (Los Angeles Times)
"Yujas Darbietung [der Rhapsodie über ein Thema von Paganini] war in der Tat ein Blender, der mit Fingern aus feinem rostfreiem Stahl, mit Donner und Zartheit in detailliertem Gleichgewicht rasselte. ... Von diesem Punkt an stieg Yuja wirklich auf eine andere Ebene auf und drehte am Ende die technische Brillanz zu einem fast unglaublichen Grad auf." (San Francisco Classical Voice)

Yuja Wang
Critical superlatives and audience ovations have continuously followed Yuja Wang’s dazzling career. The Beijing-born pianist, celebrated for her charismatic artistry and captivating stage presence, is set to achieve new heights during the 2019-20 season, which features recitals, concert series, as well as season residencies and extensive tours with some of the world’s most venerated ensembles and conductors. Season highlights include Yuja’s year-long “Artist Spotlight” at the Barbican Centre, where she curates and performs in four distinct events: the first London performance of John Adams’ newest piano concerto (premiered by her in Spring 2019) titled “Must the Devil Have All the Good Tunes?” with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Maestro Gustavo Dudamel, which they take to Boston and New York City; recitals featuring cellist Gautier Capuçon and clarinetist Andreas Ottensamer; and she concludes the residency with a solo recital.
In autumn of 2019, she tours China with the Wiener Philharmoniker, presenting concerts in Macao, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Wuhan. The beginning of 2020 sees Yuja and Gautier Capuçon reuniting for a recital tour featuring eleven dates presented in Europe’s premiere venues, including the Philharmonie de Paris and the Wiener Konzerthaus. She then embarks on an extensive solo recital tour, appearing in renowned concert halls throughout North America and Europe, including Carnegie Hall, Davies Symphony Hall, and the Het Concertgebouw, running from February to April.
Additionally, Ms. Wang will be the featured soloist with some of the leading orchestras of North America, including the Boston Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Andris Nelsons; the Toronto Symphony, conducted by Gustavo Gimeno; the San Francisco Symphony, led by Michael Tilson Thomas; and the Philadelphia Orchestra, under the musical direction of Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
Yuja Wang was born into a musical family in Beijing. After childhood piano studies in China, she received advanced training in Canada and at Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music under Gary Graffman. Her international breakthrough came in 2007 when she replaced Martha Argerich as soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Two years later, she signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon and has since established her place among the world’s leading artists, with a succession of critically acclaimed performances and recordings.
Yuja was named Musical America’s Artist of the Year in 2017.
