Staatskapelle Dresden
Myung-Whun Chung (conductor)
Explosively virtuosic and a thrilling live performer, Yuja Wang is the soloist in Rachmaninov鈥檚 emotionally expansive and technically demanding Third Piano Concerto 鈥� one of the most challenging in the repertoire.
She joins conductor Myung-Whun Chung and the Staatskapelle Dresden 鈥� the second of this week鈥檚 visiting European orchestras 鈥� for a concert that also includes Brahms鈥檚 genial Symphony No. 2, whose freshness and spontaneity have drawn comparisons with Beethoven鈥檚 鈥楶astoral鈥� Symphony.
