Critics around the world are praising Yuja Wang for her “impressive virtuosity and poise” (Boston Globe), and she has thrilled audiences worldwide with her “superhuman keyboard technique with artistic eloquence that is second to none” (San Francisco Chronicle). Almost no musical work has had such a powerful influence or evoked as much controversy as Igor Stravinsky's ballet score The Rite of Spring. The work’s premiere was scandalous. In addition to the outrageous costumes, unusual choreography, and bizarre story of pagan sacrifice, Stravinsky's musical innovations tested the patience of the audience to the fullest.
