Description:

Rich expression and deep musicality. A Beethoven album full of fantasy. This is the new album by the young pianist Shi-Shan Wong (Fan Shuang-Yang). She studied with Bruno Canino and others in Switzerland, and made her debut at the age of 12 with the Netherlands Radio Orchestra. Although she specializes in romantic music, her wide repertoire from early classical to contemporary music is highly acclaimed. and more than 20 albums on various labels, including In recent years, his two albums for Sony Classical titled "Piano Movie Lounge" have been the talk of Europe, and his 2017 release "Chopin: Piano Concerto No. 1/Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 4 (Chamber Edition)" has become a bestseller.The album is a fitting anniversary release for the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth in 2020, and features works that the composer himself described as "fantasias" or "fantasias" (fantasias). The famous "Moonlight" is written in a free-form style, with the first movement fantastical with a foggy tone and the third movement an outpouring of emotion that develops with intense intensity. The 13th is also written in sonata form. No. 13 is also a fusion of sonata form and more free-flowing fantasy. The Fantasy in G minor is composed of multiple motifs with improvisatory character, reminiscent of J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fantasy and C.P.E. Bach's Fantasy, and changes key and tempo in rapid succession. The "Choral Fantasy" was composed around the same time as the symphonies "Destiny" and "The Countryside. It is said to have been a study for the "Ninth" at this point, but the lyrics and other details were carefully prepared, and the compositional techniques of the piano concerto and choral works are fully demonstrated in this work.Shi-Shan Wong, as he has done in the past with his unique programming of film music and other albums, has been performing fantastically with a piano that is rich in various expressions and deep in musicality, as if a different space is opening up.
