Pianist Haochen Zhang, https://haochenzhang.com/

“Such a combination of enchanting, sensitive lyricism and hypnotizing forcefulness is a phenomenon encountered very rarely.” – Ury Eppstein, The Jerusalem Post

“… He displayed poetic temperament as much as technical power… A pianist with ample reserves of power whose imagination seems nonetheless most kindled by subtle delicacy.” – Matthew Guerrieri, The Boston Globe

“He made the Allegretto dance with Mendelssohnian lightness and Lisztian diablerie,
and played the melody of the Quasi Adagio with melting softness.” – Ivan Hewitt, The Telegraph
