Her Schubert has lyrical grace and extroverted power, compelling effects and soft vocalism. […] Schubert has rarely been heard so thrilling, so modern, so replete with tension.

Badische Zeitung, Roswitha Frey, 27/11/2018

Claire Huangci’s fanciful, highly intimate and refined playing [captures] the Shakespearean summer night magic and takes works by Beethoven, Scriabin and Chopin on a magical journey.

Süddeutsche Zeitung, Stephan Schwarz-Peters, 9/7/2018

Her performance of [Rachmaninoff] Préludes is brilliant, clear, and flowing, with a remarkable sense of polyphonic structures while at the same time poetic and dynamic in the tonal qualities.

Pianist, first edition 2019, Mario-Felix Vogt, 15/3/2019

If looking for characteristics of Huangci’s piano playing […] one finds them in her superior focus, imaginative abilities, and the resulting poetics of her interpretation.

NZZ, Thomas Schacher, 2/3/2019

Her Mozart Concerto was captivating, a flawless performance with lively, sparkling runs, and an abundance of musical ideas.

SRF, Moritz Weber, 13/6/2018

[Claire Huangci] gives an arc to her interpretation of the four pieces [of Schubert’s Impromptus op. 142]. Distinguished, delicate, in a flowing melodic current, full of dramatic shading and expressive modulations.

Schwäbische Zeitung, Gerd Kurat, 1/9/2019
