CD Reviews

Frederick Chiu Profoundly Understands Prokofiev
Tosh Ogawo | 10/10/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Frederick Chiu has recorded most of, if not ALL of the piano works of Prokofiev. His performances of "Cinderella", and "Romeo & Juliette" are immensely gratifying! I can not imagine a finer performance! Every line and nuance is made with heart and intelligence. I have listened to his interpretation many times and it is always deeply poetic and technically perfect. This artist is one of the GREAT performing pianists of this decade. His understanding seems to be based on an exquisite feeling for the music and he expresses those feelings in a very powerful way through his unexcelled performance on the piano. Thank you Mr. Chiu for your gift to us."
Sparklingly clean, articulate

"What stands out most about Chiu's playing is how clean he plays. He really makes sure that he plays everything correctly and in a well-defined manner.



I'm not sure whether these pieces were composed before their orchestral counterparts, but you can recognize the famous melodies.



Occassionally, one has to smile at the wit displayed in these pieces. The odd ending, the surprise chord."
