Every detail - thought through, internalized and spun into golden sound - matters to them. Their kind of music-making, not flashy or precious but oh-so virtuosic, grips the ear with its clarity. No matter how many "definitive" interpretations you may have heard, this one turned each phrase, each note, with the kind of fresh, crisp elegance that might have even gotten attention from the irascible composer himself. “ Bell and Chiu launched into the familiar Beethoven "Spring" Sonata No. “an original player like Chiu can be jarring…He basically nailed it…There was a real sense of freedom and spontaneity in his playing.” “The concerto demands technical brilliance throughout, but especially in the third movement, performed at a blazing tempo that left the audience breathless at its conclusion.” “Chiu leaves crowd spellbound, receives standing ovation” Power under control, balanced with an agile flexibility in his playing… Not a minute goes by without something interesting.” “Chiu is a physical pianist, with colossal energy. “Chiu puts the focus on the music, not himself… a pianist of uncommon intelligence and dexterity… Chiu's percussive touch turned the piano into a virtual war machine.” “He didn't just play this music he made it come alive… Chiu made his fingers do the impossible on the keyboard and brought spine-tingling excitement to this piece.” Chiu achieved some of the most exquisite pianissimos I’ve heard from any pianist – ever!…Chiu is a distinctive and bright light on the piano scene.” “He is more than a pianist, more than a player of music. “Chiu consistently sweeps away listeners with his performances of the music of Sergei Prokofiev…His performance was white-hot, both technically and musically.” “Sold out weeks in advance…Fans cheer return visit by masterful pianist Chiu” “Call of the Wild Genius – Clearly he has a career as more than a mere concert pianist.” “Every detail - thought through, internalized and spun into golden sound - matters. Como sucede con los mejores pianistas cuando abordan los mejores repertorios. Inmejorable segunda jornada de las cuatro de este ciclo Prokofiev de la Fundación March.” "Chiu concluyó aquí su espléndido recital, en el que virtuosismo y sentido se dieron una vez más la mano.
