You boys'll start listening 'cos she dresses sexy. You stay listening 'cos she's really, really good.

The virtuosity displayed in the "warmup" Utube was exquisite. Preferred it to the short skirt, but that's just me.
Well. There goes getting anything done today.
Watch her rip Prokofiev a new one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3wxsA2_EQk
People tend to forget that the piano is a percussion instrument, and a very large and physical one at that. Not only is she fantastically dextrous, she is strong!
It brings to mind the old line about how good a dancer Ginger Rogers was, "Backwards and in High Heels". She's an amazing pianist.
I've bought three albums (so far) by Yuja Wang, and have occasionally featured her on the blog for possibly nonmusical reasons.
If you have half an hour to spare, she delivers what I think is the second-best reading of Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto, only slightly behind the legendary recording by Vladimir Ashkenazy.
She's excellent, but she probably shouldn't take suggestions for stage names from 14 year old boys.

Very impressive so far.
