Review: Yuja Wang plays with poetry, precision

"Sunday's San Francisco Performances program, rescheduled from April, was yet another case in point. In three Schubert-Liszt song transcriptions to open the evening, Wang paid full homage to both composers. Her readings reminded a listener of how tender and dramatically resonant Schubert's original songs are and of how ingeniously Liszt captured those qualities in his versions for the piano alone."
I love Liszt, and I love his transcriptions, though I'm not sure if I've heard these ones. A pianist, in any event, to look up.
