Yuja Wang plays Albéniz in Verbier

Here is a new recording, this time with a quality sound, of the two pieces by Albeniz that Yuja has programmed for her recital this year 2022. In these pieces, which are so difficult that one can hardly follow them on the score, she seems to have fun, putting so much life into them! One can also admire its contrasts of sound intensity, with forte of a great plenitude and pianissimi of a rare softness. A small amusing detail: in Lavapiés, she omits 4 bars from 6' 39'’16'’' and 8 bars from 7'00’’23'’'. As she can see the score, these very slight shortcuts are perhaps voluntary. Mystery. Malaga : 0:08’’ Lavapiés : 05:02’’
