A major new recording ... this recording easily places itself among the best interpretations, those that serve as benchmarks for Debussy's sound world ...
Marvin J. Ward, Classical Voice of North Carolina Full Review -
This is, in the best sense of the word, not a modern recording ... I never tire of listening!

Chopin
- Études Op. 10 & Op. 25
- In the media:
-
Hsia-Jung Chang lets these Etudes flow in an effortless motion, in nuances of might and tenderness, light fingertippings and heavily flexing biceps.
Ingvar Nordin, Swedish Music Critic Full Review -
Hsia-Jung Chang follows her recording of Chopin Preludes with this excellent new album of Etudes, revealing the power as well as the poetry in these spectacular works.
John Pitt, New Classics UK -
Hsia-Jung Chang serves up good, honest Chopin Etudes.

Inside the Piano
- 21st Century Improvisations
- Structured improvisation using mostly the inside of the piano rather than the keys, with unconventional sounds reminiscent of the meditative instruments qin, wood blocks, bells, ancient Asian melodies, willow talk, creaking doorways, bugs, and Chopin.
- In the media:
-
This is a fascinating collection of experimental music that is accessible, surprising, witty, reflective and often eerily beautiful, especially the lovely Drunk on Taiji. The album is highly recommended ...

Chopin
- Complete Préludes

Frédéric Chopin - In the media:
-
Hsia-Jung Chang's CD is unique to me, not only in that it has brought me some peace of mind and some consolation in a time of heartbreak, but also because I can stack it on the shelf alongside Josef Hoffman and Ignaz Friedman with a conviction of it's natural domiciliary rights up there!
Ingvar Nordin, Swedish Music Critic -
... an excursion into a facsimile of Chopin's own sound world. Few, if any of the many other recordings of these works available on the market, offer this kind of sonic perspective.
