Esa-Pekka Salonen & Yuja Wang

Debussy’s Images outlines a vivid realm of ancient dances, sun-splashed Spanish ballads, and intoxicating orchestral colors. The endlessly inventive Yuja Wang brings her dramatic flair and interpretive finesse to two piano concertos: Maurice Ravel’s dark and intense Piano Concerto for the Left Hand and Einojuhani Rautavaara’s post-modern Piano Concerto No. 1, which the composer described as a return to “the aesthetics of expressiveness.”
