Pinanist Yuja Wang Receives Grammy Award Nomination for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance for her Rercording Sonatas and Etudes
Sonatas & Etudes has been praised as an extraordinary debut recording by The New York Times, which added Ms. Wang offers technically stunning, interpretively compelling accounts of Chopins Funeral March Sonata and Liszts B minor Sonata along with dazzling high-energy performances of Scriabins Sonata No. 2 and a pair of Ligeti tudes. Gramophone magazine, which named Yuja the Classic FM Gramophone Awards 2009 Young Artist of the Year, also wrote that Yujas performance on the recording suggests a combination of blazing technique and a rare instinct for poetry. Sonatas & Etudes was also named Best Debut Album of 2009 by International Piano magazine.
Recognized for playing that combines the spontaneity and fearless imagination of youth with the discipline and precision of a mature artist, Yuja is noted for her authority over the most complex technical demands of the repertoire, the depth of her musical insight, as well as her fresh interpretations and graceful, charismatic stage presence. She has been praised for her controlled, prodigious technique and her command of the piano has been described as astounding and superhuman.
