Great Performers: Yuja Wang

One of the most dazzlingly virtuosic pianists of her generation, Yuja Wang has wowed audiences around the world for nearly two decades – she made her European debut in 2003 and gave a breakthrough performance in Boston in 2007, when she jumped in to replace Martha Argerich. She has been described by one critic as "quite simply, the most dazzlingly, uncannily gifted pianist in the concert world today", and Yuja Wang’s brilliant technique and unapologetically stellar stage presence are complemented by the utmost musicality, sensitivity and an unfailing instinct as a performer, making her a favourite both with audiences and fellow musicians alike.
