Mahler Chamber Orchestra
Yuja Wang: the Brahms marathon
Yuja Wang’s combination of technical ease, colouristic range and sheer power has always been remarkable … but these days there is an ever-greater depth to her musicianship, drawing you into the world of each composer with compelling immediacy. Financial Times
Yuja Wang returns to DE SINGEL with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and two Brahms piano concertos that are polar opposites, yet together form an irresistible whole.
The Piano Concerto No. 1 opens with symphonic power and technical fireworks, the perfect stage for Wang to showcase her virtuosity and passion. The Piano Concerto No. 2 reveals another side of Brahms: a restrained love letter to Clara Schumann, full of warmth and delicate lyricism, in which Wang allows her sensitivity and musicality to resonate deeply.
Together with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, she creates a magical, almost tangible atmosphere in which her versatility shines through. The result is an evening brimming with intensity, pure elegance, and a sense of wonder that will linger long after.
