In this video, recorded at the Steinway showroom in West Hollywood, Yuja plays two pieces by Gluck and Liszt, stopping briefly in between. It's wonderful to watch her change pace and mood and see the concentration and deep feeling in her expression. At the end, it's almost as if she emerges from an intense dream, smiling, and telling us, "This piano's nice."
