In July 2008, on a beautiful morning, the pianist Yuja Wang, then a 21-year-old prodigy, graced the stage at Verbier Festival for her debut concert. What ensued was a display of astonishing virtuosity and remarkable sensitivity, marking a pivotal moment in the early career of this legendary musician. The global audience, now equally astounded, witnessed her exceptional performance of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee" on YouTube, with nearly nine million viewers enraptured. Verbier Festival Gold is thrilled to unveil the complete recording of this extraordinary showcase, commemorating a shining moment in musical history.
