Franz Schubert: Six Moments Musicaux, D 780, Op. 94
Franz Liszt: “Funérailles” from Harmonies poétiques et religieuses, S. 173
Maurice Ravel: “Prelude” from Menuet sur le nom d’Haydn
Franz Liszt: Sonata in B minor, S. 178
Sergei Rachmaninoff: Études-Tableaux in D major, Op. 39 No. 9
Acclaimed by critics in the United States and abroad for performances of stunning virtuosity, refinement, and communicative power, Chuang’s playing has been named the equal of Vladimir Ashkenazy, Garrick Ohlsson, and Idil Biret (Boston Musical Intelligencer), and Alfred Brendel has praised her as “a pianist of extraordinary ability, intelligence, sensitivity and command . . . approaching the height of her powers.” Commenting on her newly released Chopin/Liszt recording, Brendel stated, "If you want to listen to Chopin and Liszt with different ears, Ya-Fei Chuang's ecstatic performances cannot leave you cold, and her pianism is staggering."Scott Noriega of Fanfare magazine also wrote “She is indeed a pianist of staggering abilities," and Remy Franck called Chuang's playing "...masterful...thrilling...phenomenal" (Classical Music Journal, Luxembourg). Reviewing her live recording of the Mendelssohn Piano Concerto No.1, Fanfare magazine hailed her “delicacy and fluidity of touch ... this version now sits at the top of the pile of Mendelssohn Firsts, alongside Perahia, [Rudolf] Serkin, and John Ogdon.”
