Prom 63: Yuja Wang plays Rachmaninov by Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff, Brahms, Aπό (2019/2019), αγωγός Myung-Whun Chung, Royal Albert Hall, London, United Kingdom

Yuja Wang is the soloist in Rachmaninov’s emotionally expansive and technically demanding Third Piano Concerto. She joins conductor Myung-Whun Chung and the Staatskapelle Dresden for a Prom that also includes Brahms’s genial Symphony No. 2. Explosively virtuosic and a thrilling live performer, Yuja Wang is the soloist in Rachmaninov’s emotionally expansive and technically demanding Third Piano Concerto – one of the most challenging in the repertoire. She joins conductor Myung-Whun Chung and the Staatskapelle Dresden – the second of this week’s visiting European orchestras – for a concert that also includes Brahms’s genial Symphony No. 2, whose freshness and spontaneity have drawn comparisons with Beethoven’s ‘Pastoral’ Symphony.
