Yuja Wang

On a beautiful morning in July 2008, the then 21-year-old prodigy Yuja Wang stepped onto the stage of the Verbier Festival and gave her debut recital. The audience witnessed a performance of overwhelming virtuosity and extraordinary sensitivity. Everyone present knew they had experienced a pivotal moment at the beginning of a great musical career. Audiences worldwide were equally impressed: nearly nine million people have watched her brilliant interpretation of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee" on YouTube. With this release, Verbier Festival Gold proudly presents the complete recording of this unique concert.
