If you missed the introductory speeches, the Ching-Yun Hu piano recital Saturday at the William Way Center seemed so at home as to be a typical occurrence rather than the first in a new series of fine arts events.

The program, held in the grand reception era of the pre-Civil War building at 1315 Spruce St. that once housed the Engineers' Club of Philadelphia, was smart and ambitious. The full-house audience knew what it was hearing, and the demographics were fairly close to, say, an Astral Artists event, though with more same-sex couples, as one might expect at Philadelphia's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community center... www.sogi.com.twRead more

Petite Ching-Yun Hu is already a remarkable pianist. She’s also young, by the way. In Tchaikovsky’s fearsome Piano Concerto No 1 in B flat minor, Op 23 she demonstrated brilliantly and with great feeling for musical line that this concerto also has delectable inner voices which are all too often overlooked... www.sogi.com.twRead more

PLAYING TO THE HORDE; CHING-YUN HU AT THE MUSEUM
March 26, 2010
www.sogi.com.twOriginal link

Nothing has left me so heartened as the sight in the past few weeks of thousands of ordinary people queuing in the cold and rain to see a few bits of dirty old gold. Few of them, myself included, would have answered positively to the question; "Of course, you're interested in ancient history, aren't you?" None, I suspect, if asked a direct question, would have been willing to give their own hard-earned cash to support Stoke on Trent museum... www.sogi.com.twRead more

Wigmore Hall review, Musical Opinion
March-April, 2009

Rubinstein Piano Competition Winners

"Ching-Yun Hu displayed the maturity to infuse El Amor y la Muerte, from the Goyescas by Granados, with a profound depth of emotion in a beautifully-shaped, expansive perfromance. She followed it with Chopin's relatively unfamiliar E-flat Rondo, Op. 16, negotiating its fast-flowing passages with cool control, elegance and ease. To conclude, she offered a highly accomplished account of Rachmaninov's Second Sonata in B-flat minor, Op. 36, the dramatic opening of the Allegro agitato compelling attention, while the concluding Allegro molto was the ideal showcase for Hu's virtuosity as sh propelled the movement to an emphatic climax."
Margaret Davis, Musical Opinion, UK (on Wigmore Hall recital of Feb. 5, 2009)

A New Look at the Winners

"As in the competition, the audience remains favoring the Taiwanese pianist, Ching-Yun Hu. After the 4 hands of Schubert Fantasie and Stravinsky's Petrouska, Hu played with mesmorizing, magic touch in the Chopin Barcarolle, and even more so shown in the Ravel Gaspard de la Nuit. And the transcription of the Strauss Blue Danube, like a marvelous "desert", was played with great virtuosity..."
