deuschegrammophon 1: Yuja Wang & Dudamel: Prokofiev Piano Cto No. 2, Scherzo. Vivace

Watch Yuja Wang play Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor op. 16, Scherzo. Vivace from her new album with Gustavo Dudamel and the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela. The album contains Rachmaninov's piano concerto No. 3 and Prokofiev's piano concerto No. 2 and is released on Deutsche Grammophon.

The album captures the extraordinary energy levels of a very special evening in Caracas. Rachmaninov's hugely popular Piano Concerto No.3 is his longest, most ambitious and most technically complex work for piano and orchestra. Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.2 is phenomenally emotional and intense music that also presents huge technical challenges for the soloist - particularly in the long and ferociously complex first movement cadenza.
