Yuja Wang returns to David Hockney’s Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) installation at London's Lightroom for a truly immersive recital. 

There are few composers for the piano as viscerally exciting as Franz Liszt and there are few pianists today who perform his music with as much visceral excitement as Khatia Buniatishvili. 

Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvilli dazzled and delighted in a highly accomplished performance of music by Mussorgsky and Liszt.

As I settled into my seat in the Kaufman Theater at the 92nd Street Y, the man next to me turned to his wife to say: “This concert is going to be quite the journey.” Snickering to myself, I dismissed the man’s comment as trite. But by the end of the all-Liszt program, I felt bulldozed by Garrick Ohlsson’s performance.

Vadym Kholodenko ist ein Klangmagier: sein Spiel war äußerst sprechend, bilderreich, mit blühender Agogik erzählend-plastisch und dabei unprätentiös: große Klavierkunst!

Khatia Buniatishvili gestattete weder sich noch dem Publikum eine Atempause in diesem hamburger Konzert voller fingertechnischer Drahtseilakte.
