Yuja Wang, Piano

Yuja Wang, whizbang of the keyboard, has chosen a program for her first Carnegie Hall recital in two seasons that looks scattershot in the extreme, ricocheting from romantic Chopin to contrapuntal Bach, then to chromatic Berg, then to chromatic Wagner (arranged by Liszt), next to Spanish-scented Albéniz, and finally to psychedelic Scriabin, all in bites of about 10 minutes max. Honestly, who throws together programs like this? A wild ride is guaranteed. —M.G.
