In the media:
A major new recording ... this recording easily places itself
among the best interpretations, those that serve as benchmarks
for Debussy's sound world ...

This is, in the best sense of the word, not a modern recording
... I never tire of listening!
Ingvar Nordin, Swedish Music CriticFull Review
Her playing is outstanding, and her interpretations interesting
... I look forward to hearing more from this artist.
My delight of the week.

Chopin
Études Op. 10 & Op. 25
In the media:
Hsia-Jung Chang lets these Etudes flow in an effortless motion,
in nuances of might and tenderness, light fingertippings and
heavily flexing biceps.
Ingvar Nordin, Swedish Music CriticFull Review
Hsia-Jung Chang follows her recording of Chopin Preludes with
this excellent new album of Etudes, revealing the power as well
as the poetry in these spectacular works.
John Pitt, New Classics UK
Structured improvisation using mostly the inside of the piano
rather than the keys, with unconventional sounds reminiscent of
the meditative instruments qin, wood blocks, bells, ancient Asian
melodies, willow talk, creaking doorways, bugs, and Chopin.
In the media:
This is a fascinating collection of experimental music that is
accessible, surprising, witty, reflective and often eerily
beautiful, especially the lovely Drunk on Taiji.
The album is highly recommended ...

Complete Préludes
The Complete Préludes of Frédéric Chopin, recorded in digital stereo on a rebuilt 1907 Pleyel.
Pleyel's pianos are the last word in perfection.Frédéric Chopin
In the media:
Hsia-Jung Chang's CD is unique to me, not only in that it has
brought me some peace of mind and some consolation in a time of
heartbreak, but also because I can stack it on the shelf
alongside Josef Hoffman and Ignaz Friedman with a conviction of
it's natural domiciliary rights up there!
Ingvar Nordin, Swedish Music Critic
... an excursion into a facsimile of Chopin's own sound world.
Few, if any of the many other recordings of these works
available on the market, offer this kind of sonic perspective.
