piano must have exploded after she left the stage....too much awesomeness. o_O i agree to this

[bloodgrss]

@Spass674 Hmmm--hadn't realized these pieces had "meaning" beyond tempo's called for in the score's--bravo Yuja!

Genius. I saw her performing Scriabin and Liszt earlier this winter. She captures the barbaric masculinity of Prokofiev but still maintains a feminine attention to detail. Also, her back and arm muscles are jacked.

3:34 the guy behind her was like "WTF?"

Yuja Wang and Frederic Chiu are the best Prokofiev interpreters.

Putting together the YT Orchestra is a great idea to promote the musicians - But then again what's with the Yuja role in all that? DG bankrolling this thing? It must take someone of great intelligence and extraordinary musical sensitivity to grasp "why Yuja"! LOL
