Joshua Kosman of the S.F. Chronicle thought Yuja Wang's performance remarkable and and waxed most enthusiastically, a very fine review. However the second half escaped his appreciation totally, but then we often disagreed.

Yoja Wang was brillant in Rach 2. The 2nd half of the show was a cultural experience that the american ear is not used to. worth seeing. A cultural learning experienceWritten on Nov 24 2009
