"Five Stars ... keen, speculative intelligence is evident in many aspects of her playing, complemented by a fairly staggering technique ... one of the most stimulating recitals I've heard this year."
- BBC Music Magazine
"... (Wang) plays with extraordinary power. More to the point, she approaches repertory staples with original, illuminating ideas. Her sharp articulation and the deftness with which she moves between thunder and sparkle yield vivid performances ..."
- The New York Times
"... Wang plays with a rare, frankly exquisite combination of feeling and delicacy ... she has a dazzling way of lightening even the heaviest textures so that her entire performance gleams with an astonishing brilliance and verve ... this entire recital leaves you in no doubt that at 23 Yuja Wang is already among the most brilliantly gifted of today's pianists."
- Gramophone
"Yuja Wang transforms virtuoso standards ... scintillating ... marks her as one of the most exciting young performers today ... the sound is as if we’ve been given a seat right in front of the piano ... Wang is reminiscent of the incendiary Martha Argerich. There is abundant virtuosity on display but it never comes over as flamboyancy. There is zest here, but with close attention to the quietest details."
- Limelight
Critics could barely find enough superlatives to praise this 2010 recital album from pianist Yuja Wang, recorded when she was in her early 20s. For her sophomore release, Wang carefully selected and constructed the solo programme featuring Brahms, Ravel, Scarlatti and Stravinsky.
