Description

« It is very unusual for a teenager to possess such technique, but what is truly remarkable about Niu Niu is his deep musicality. » The Telegraph. The young pianist Niu Niu is now 15 years old and studied in Boston. Trained by his father from the age of 4, he gave his first concerts at the age of 6, and has performed many times in China. He made his debut in London at Wigmore Hall in 2006 and at Royal Festival Hall in 2007, and in the USA at the Queens Festival in New York. Paul Badura-Skoda speaks of him as "a major talent of this century." This calling card recording is dedicated to transcriptions of Schubert, Saint-Saëns, Paganini, and Wagner by Liszt and Liszt's Danse macabre by Horowitz. This program demands both a very high level of virtuosity and flawless musicality, qualities that are often contradictory, which Niu Niu brings together with mastery.
