The Berlin Album is Yuja Wang’s passionate survey of compositions by Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Ligeti and Prokofiev.
Yuja Wang’s philosophy of music is both simple and profoundly complex. “I want to relate all life to music,” she recently told veteran British critic Fiona Maddocks.
The Beijing-born pianist’s latest album for Deutsche Grammophon was released on 23 November 2018, and it captures the passion of solo works by Rachmaninov, Prokofiev, Scriabin and Ligeti, a trio of Russians together with one of the late 20th-century’s greatest composers.
The Berlin Recital was recorded live this summer at the Berlin Philharmonie’s Kammermusiksaal during Yuja’s extensive solo tour of North America and Europe.
