Joyce Yang Releases Wild Dreams, Her Second Avie Solo Album, on March 11
Joyce Yang's debut solo album for Avie Records, Collage, was hailed by American Record Guide as "an outstanding first recording." Now the pianist – a silver medalist at the Cliburn competition and recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant – presents her sophomore Avie release, Wild Dreams, on which she plays Schumann's Fantasiestücke, Hindemith's In einer Nacht, Bartók's Out of Doors suite, Rachmaninoff's Piano Sonata No. 2, and Rachmaninoff songs in solo piano arrangements by Earl Wild. The album's March 11 release coincides with that of her new Alexander String Quartet collaboration for the Foghorn Classics label (March 11) and follows on the heels of her Bridge Records recording of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto (Feb 1). Equally sought after as a solo recitalist, chamber musician, and orchestral soloist, Yang demonstrates once again why she has been hailed as "one of the most versatile and thoughtful of the rising pianists of our time" (D Magazine).
