About
In February 2023, at Walt Disney Hall, Classical piano superstar Yuja Wang joined forces with Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic for a sold-out and critically-acclaimed Rachmaninoff residency. All four of Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and his Paganini Rhapsody were captured by Deutsche Grammophon.

Awards and reviews
31st August 2023
Wang has recorded three of the works before...But however dazzling those performances are technically, she is a much more mature performer nowadays. While the flashy exuberance of the First Concerto and its quicksilver changes of mood suit both her and the slick reactions of Dudamel and his orchestra down to the ground, she equally teases out the lyricism of the Andante with great sensitivity.
30th August 2023
Wang is one of today’s most musically astonishing pianists. Across all four concertos, plus the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, her fingering is so effortlessly crisp and lithe that tingles might creep up your spine. On top of that, these vivid Walt Disney Concert Hall recordings seem to put you inside her piano, feeling the force of every fortissimo attack or, equally, pianissimo kiss. Not that Dudamel and the orchestra ever appear squashed.
