Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto 2, Paganini Rhapsody - Yuja Wang

Wang, Gramophone's "Young Artist of the Year" in 2009 joins the legendary maestro, Claudio Abbado on her first orchestral album and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. To the challenging Rachmaninov Piano Concerto no. 2, she adds the daunting Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. "Whereas many pianists try to dominate this set of variations, she worked with it. This approach simply gave more punch to the places in which the piano should jump out of the texture" (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette).
