The best thing I saw in 2025 was Yuja Wang

Yuja Wang slayed in this performance of Prokofiev‘s 2nd piano concerto with the Boston Symphony.

And she did it in a little sparkly mini-dress and spiked heels. The entire performance was stunning. The clip is when she stops the entire audience from breathing with the First Movement’s cadenza.
