Wow Yuja has incredible technique she's a truly amazing pianist and musician,not to go off topic & it's a totally different genre but the pianist who continually blows my mind with his technique and musicality is Chucho Valdez,any Chucho fans here?

Oh, I really like Chucho!
He's awesome. I'm not sure I would consider myself his "fan", but the man is a freaking legend and I enjoy listening to him!

Yuja Wang and he are like apples and oranges, I agree.

Technically, I think she clearly has no peers. She's the goddess of piano dexterity, and a dynamics master. Those gorgeous pianissimos after her brutal fortissimos are jaw-dropping. Her clarity... She still will get even better as she matures.

And she's much cuter too :)
