Our inbox has clogged up with readers’ calls for to know what the brand new Yuja album is all about. So, if you happen to insist, it’s neither one factor nor the opposite.
It begins with Yuja enjoying a 4:34 minute solo by Michael Tilson Thomas, adopted by a half-hour piano concerto by Teddy Abrams. Each composers are, in the principle, conductors – and it reveals. The MTT vignette is a jazz-club vignette. The Abrams concerto falls halfway between Glenn Miller and Large Invoice Broonzy with a central patch of Hollywood marshmallow.

Yuja’s job entails honky-tonking round within the left hand with out a lot glitter in the suitable. She will be able to play these items, and far else, with out batting an eyelash. To what function is one other matter.
I sampled her piano solo on essentially the most superior audio-lab gear and requested my hosts in disbelief if Yuja was enjoying a Steinway. She was, however she has reached the purpose of trademarking her personal sound to the purpose the place the producer’s title virtually falls off. The resultant sonority is each distinctive and intriguing. She wants to search out higher composers in future.
Teddy Abrams, is conductor of the Louisville Orchestra and has been touted for some time as the approaching man with out really going anyplace, thus far. Appears he’s a university pal of Yuja’s and he or she’s returned a favour on this recording. Nothing in his piece modified my life, or my socks.
