In February 2023, at Walt Disney Hall, Classical piano superstar Yuja Wang joined forces with Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic for a sold-out and critically-acclaimed Rachmaninoff residency. All four of Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and his Paganini Rhapsody were captured by Deutsche Grammophon.
