I hadn't connected this work with innocence,

richness is not something you usually expect
from Yuja, and I think that's why both Dan
and I reacted positively to it.

It is a good performance, though not the
greatest, worth hearing once or twice if
nothing more interesting is at hand.
Looking back at La Wang's performances on
stage and on YT one cannot help but notice
that she sounds better in chamber music
works than in solo works. She has also
been improving musically, though at the
rate she is improving she would probably
be 100 before she can be a match for a
serious pianist like Volodos or HJ Lim.
Cheers!
