Interview
Yuja Wang in conversation with Andreas Ottensamer
Yuja Wang’s debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker
This performance had been eagerly anticipated: In May 2015, the Chinese pianist Yuja Wang made her first appearance with the Berliner Philharmoniker, playing Sergei Prokofiev’s Second Piano Concerto, one of the most difficult pieces of the repertoire. Conductor Paavo Järvi also performs Dmitri Shostakovich’s First Symphony – a masterstroke by the 19-year-old!
