Our good friend Frederic Chiu announces the release of his new album “Distant Voices”.
Frederic Chiu’s acclaimed discography features two dozen recordings ranging from the complete works of Prokofiev to rare piano transcriptions to major works of Chopin. In 2015 he emerges from the recording studio in full force, with two major recordings.
The first release is also a premiere for Yamaha Entertainment Group – their first Classical album launching a new series of high-end projects that include audio, video and DisklavierTV.
“Distant Voices” includes music of Claude Debussy – whose music Frederic has played in concert for 30 years but has never recorded before now. It also introduces the music of Gao Ping, inspired by Debussy as well as the culture of his Chinese homeland in Chengdu. Frederic pushes the boundaries with Gao Ping’s pieces for Vocalizing Pianist. You have to see it (and hear it!) to believe it.
