Chopin Concerto No. 2

Do we need another recording of Chopin’s Nocturnes? Not really! But when one hears this brand new double-CD from Claire Huangci, which comes out on 5th May, the answer is yes!

Süddeutsche Zeitung, CD-Tipp, 6/4/2017

This is not a dreamy quasi-improvisation or playful salon music, and neither does the interpretation go after gut feeling. On the contrary, this is an extremely clear and pure recording with gravitas, significance and considerable appeal which certainly must be taken seriously.

Pizzicato, Remy Franck, 22/5/2017, on the Chopin-CD

In Claire Huangci’s playing, the flow of the music does not run away with itself or become arbitrary, but rather remains intensely alert: her attack is delicate yet distinct. (…) Irresistible yet always considerate and alert, Claire Huangci lets herself become captured by the magic of [Chopin’s] music.

PianoNews, Hans-Dieter Grünefeld, September 2017

A whirlwind at the keyboard with an immense enthusiasm for playing, the pianist has also developed a musicality and a colour-rich tone, which, along with her apparent technical ease, is merely a springboard for a wholly individual musical conception.

Rondo, Christoph Forsthoff, February 2018

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

SRF, Moritz Weber, 13/6/2018

She [Claire Huangci] mastered Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 with a performance that was full of character and measured forcefulness, and won the competition.

Neue Züricher Zeitung, Christian Berzins, 17/6/2018
