Bocheng Wang, Wigmore Hall review - extraordinary agility and technical fluidity
A pianist who prides discipline over flashiness
Bocheng Wang delivered a masterful performance at Wigmore Hall, blending technical precision with expressive depth in Rachmaninov’s demanding Corelli Variations. His disciplined approach shone in Bach’s Italian Concerto, though some emotional nuances were subdued. The fiery agility of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite (arranged by Agosti) highlighted his virtuosity. A rising talent, Wang balances control and flair, leaving audiences eager for more. Two encores capped the impressive recital.
Bocheng Wang’s Wigmore Hall recital showcased his virtuosity in Bach’s Italian Concerto, Rachmaninoff’s Corelli Variations, and Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite (arr. Agosti). While the Bach was spirited but uneven, his Rachmaninoff balanced technical prowess with youthful impulsiveness. The Firebird was the standout—a dazzling, high-speed tour de force, blending precision with vivid color. A thrilling display of his formidable talent and potential.
