Yuja Wang

m.critcher

In her early 20s, Yuja Wang is internationally admired for 'a practically superhuman keyboard technique with an artistic eloquence that is second to none' (San Francisco Chronicle) and 'playing that possesses urgency, personality, imagination and colour' (International Piano).

The young Chinese musician gained international recognition while still in her teens, with a debut concert in Canada conducted by Pinchas Zukerman in 2005. Named 2009's Young Artist of the Year at the Classic FM Gramophone Awards, she has signed an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon and her second CD, entitled Transformation, was Gramophone's Record of the Month on its release in 2010.

'Simply the most important pianist to appear in recent years, period' (The Detroit News).

French Impressionists

Sir Simon Rattle conducts a programme of Romantic music, featuring Pierre-Laurent Aimard performing Ravel's Piano Concerto for the left hand.

Our season ends with a bang as we bring our Principal Artist Sir Simon Rattle and the renowned pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard to London, following a European tour.

The concert features four masterpieces rarely heard on period instruments, with all the added clarity and energy that they can bring.

The evening concludes with Debussy's powerful and sublimely detailed evocation of the sea - it's almost like seeing a picture painted in front of your eyes... but by an orchestra.

£70 Premium Box seats include an interval wine reception.
