In February 2023, at Walt Disney Hall, Classical piano superstar Yuja Wang joined forces with Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic for a sold-out and critically-acclaimed Rachmaninoff residency. All four of Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and his Paganini Rhapsody were captured by Deutsche Grammophon.

"One takes it for granted by now that Wang’s technical command, at 36, is all but absolute…maturity has brought artistic evolution to her musical instincts…when all of these elements coalesce, as they do here, the music-making becomes inspired and inspiring. In their freshness and vibrancy, they are perfect for anyone who has begun to tire of these ubiquitous concertos." - Fanfare, Jan/Feb 2024
