Notes & Reviews:

Acclaimed pianist Sa Chen now turns her talents to this stunning recording of virtuoso piano works. Sa Chen was a prize winner at the Warsaw International Chopin Piano Competition in 2000 and the first Chinese prize winner at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2005

"Sa Chens playing matches virtuosity with poetry. She is fastidiously controlled and allows the passagework to emerge organically out of the music fabric, so there is always a sense of direction and structural cohesion. In the slow movements she is exquisitely lyrical without ever over-sentimentalising..." -BBC Music Magazine
