"Chinese born pianist Tianshu Wang...has not only selected an interesting and unique program for this recording, but brings it off with style and affection. ...There are no duds hereŠno boring pieces to have you clawing towards the exit. ...the entire enterprise is endlessly fascinating."

A fascinating look at the evolution of music for piano in China.
While the first piano made its appearance in China in the late 19th century, Chinese piano composition did not begin until the 1930s. The common thread with the music on this compact disc is the use of traditional Chinese elements and their manifestation of a Chinese spirit. The music selected, spanning the period from the 1930s to 2007, traces the formation and development of a true Chinese style of piano writing. Pianist Tianshu Wang has been acclaimed by the press as a "superbly talented pianist" who plays with "prodigious technique and eloquent phrasing." A Steinway artist, Ms. Wang has performed across the U.S., China, Mexico, Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan. She is on the faculty of Capital University's Conservatory of Music as well as the Shenyang Conservatory of Music in China.Contents:
