description
The hugely talented pianist, Chiyan Wong makes his recording debut with the phenomenally difficult Liszt transcriptions of well-known opera melodies. A broad and thoughtful musician, Wong's special interest in the music of Franz Liszt has led to him perfecting his own editions of these popular operatic fantasies. Following Liszt's own advice regarding transcriptions, Wong concentrates on communicating the spirit and intention of the music whilst applying his own personal touches. Chiyan Wong has been astonishing audiences with not just the sincerity and sheer authority of his playing, but also feted by critics and colleagues as a rising star of the piano world. Wong was the sole recipient of the Bernard van Zuiden Music Fund of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra in 2007 and won first prize at the Jaques Samuel Pianos Intercollegiate Piano Competition in 2001. "Chiyan Wong is an exciting, original and thoughtful pianist. Nothing sounds "bought in"; everything sounds freshly but not self-consciously conceived." (Stephen Hough) "chiyan Wong possessed remarkable sophistication in his piano playing" (Trouw)
