Chinese pianist Yuja Wang has reunited with the Zürich Orchestra – the ensemble with whom she made her European debut in 2003 aged 15 – for her latest recording, Ravel.

Released in Hong Kong on Friday, the album is Wang's first foray into French repertoire on disc, and features Ravel's Piano Concerto in G major and the less familiar Piano Concerto for the Left Hand in D major.

Ravel follows Wang's acclaimed recording of concertos by Rachmaninov and Prokofiev last year with conductor Gustavo Dudamel.

The pianist will embark on a tour of Asia together with the Royal Orchestra of Amsterdam that includes stops in Taipei, Kyoto, Nagoya and Tokyo.
