Jun 28, 2010 - Yuja inhabits the composer and music. The man who introduces her is maestro Michael TIlson Thomas, conductor of the San Francisco Symphony. He created the YouTube Symphony, enabling young musicians worldwide to audition via YouTube perform before a huge worldwide audience. He also founded the New World Symphony for talented young musicians, many of whom go onto play with world-class symphonies. Every professional classical musician I know wishes they could play for MTT.

And, by the way, I heard that Yuja adores him.

Jul 11, 2010 - One of the major problems with an interplanetary expedition to Mars (as oppesed to the Moon), is that it takes so freaking long because you can't afford to carry the the fuel to jack up the propulsion. Now we have a solution: the flame power out Mr.MTT's rear end will take care of the NASA's problem. Solutions to these problems come frrom unexpected places, don't they? Maybe we can put that thing to use in the Gulf, too.

Aug 25, 2010 - I only wish that the endlessly hammy Lang Lang would take a lesson from Yuja Wang and realize that it is possible to have astonishing technical virtuosity without all the neck-craning and face-making he goes through.

Aug 28, 2010 - It is kind refreshing to see another Chinese Pianist after Lang Lang, Yundi LI. They all have their style and superior technic and amazing maturity in piano playing.
