An extravagant review that's right on the mark.  She really was that
good.  A passage in the Adagio ranks with my most memorable musical
experiences.  She is still in Davies Hall tonight and tomorrow (but I
am going to hear Formenti [performances.org] again instead: rather than
the Beethoven Second, it's PINTSCHER, LUCIER, LACHENMANN, HAAS, SCIARRINO,
USTWOLSKAYA - played surpassingly well; a more than fair exchange).

   "Wednesday's concert by the San Francisco Symphony introduced
   most listeners to an extraordinary new musical talent: pianist
   Yuja Wang.  Perhaps the only thing more remarkable than the
   splendor of her performance was the fact that she made her mark
   in the comparatively flimsy vehicle of Beethoven's Second Piano

   youth and the probing sensitivity that in most artists comes
   only with maturity -- as well as the keyboard technique to put
   all her ideas flawlessly into action. To hear an artist so
   extravagantly gifted on every front is to realize how much
   compromise is usually involved in hearing even the most impressive
   virtuosos. ..."
