A bunch of (mostly) Youtube videos of Yuja Wang

60s

I was introduced to Yuja Wang by this piece by Rick Beato The Impossible Virtuosity of Yuja Wang

Yuja is a pretty amazing person with skills that are quite unbelievable. There’s tons of Yuja’s music and interviews on-line and in youtube and I modify the list as I come on others. I've numbered a few neat ones to jump in with, as well as some I starred *. I like listening to her and seeing her ability of total immersion into something so precise and complex. She clearly loves what she does. Watching her arms seem to delicately float, as her fingers gently stroke the keys, transitioning to a blur as the cameras are often unable to keep up with her fingers. It’s particularly neat watching her as she grows up. Enjoy
