#15 Yuja In Our Time
Monday, 30 June, 2025

Pianist Yuja Wang is a phenomena in our time. A remarkable artist who is young enough in mind to make shockingly original music on stage, while being experienced enough to navigate the sometimes cut throat world of the classical music industry. Between the bars host Yannick Dondelinger joins Yuja Wang for a taxi ride to Amsterdam, and an especially informal chat about the genius of Rachmaninov, the joy of China's cuisine, living in the USA, religion, the privacy of Bachs music, performing with the late and great Claudio Abbado, and many many more topics….. enjoy the ride. For a full transcript of the episode, please visit our website. photo: Yuja Wang © Julia Wesely music excerpts: © Deutsche Grammophon (2011): Yuja Wang/Mahler Chamber Orchestra/Claudio Abbado: Rachmaninov - Paganini Rhapsody
