Ravel Piano Concertos + Faure Ballade, Op. 19

Ravel Piano Concertos + Faure Ballade, Op. 19
- For pianist Yuja Wang's newest album on DG, she wows with two perennial hits: Ravel's Piano Concerto in G major and The Piano Concerto for the Left Hand in D major
Yuja Wang has established herself as an international sensation. She plays with the worlds leading orchestras including those of New York, London, Amsterdam, and Berlin regularly joining them on tours of the Americas, Europe, and Asia

The New York Times states: She seems to have everything: speed, flexibility, pianistic thunder and interpretive nuance. And Gramophone says: Every new release by this marvelous gifted pianist is eagerly anticipated

On her eagerly expected new orchestral album she wows with two perennial hits: Ravels Piano Concerto in G major and The Piano Concerto for the Left Hand in D major. Both are heavily influenced by jazz, which Ravel had encountered on a concert tour of the United States in 1928.

He composed both concertos between 1929 and 1930. The latter was commissioned by the Austrian pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm during World War I.

Yuja, young stellar conductor Lionel Bringuier and celebrated Tonhalle-Orchester ZÃ¼rich are the perfect match to inflame Ravels vibrant sound.

The melding of Yujas legendary technical skills with her interpretative intelligence transforms this album into a profound musical experience with a haunting and jazzy sound.
