Tianyao is currently on her first tour of Japan ✨🎹
Following her concert at Suntory Hall in Tokyo on August 12, where she performed both Chopin Piano Concertos with members of the NHK Symphony Orchestra under Łukasz Borowicz, Japanese music critic Motoyuki Teranishi shared his impressions in ぶらあぼ (Bravo) 🌸
“Her shifts in tempo can be quite extreme, yet because they follow the natural flow of emotion, they never feel artificial. Rather, there is a sense of complete naturalness, as though the music were spontaneously welling up from within her — a sign of her extraordinary talent.”
“Through rich changes of tone colour, a remarkable variety of touch, and freely flexible tempi, she vividly brought to life the passion, lyricism and longing of the young Chopin.” 🎶
“The joy she finds in making music spread throughout the audience, drawing listeners instantly into her world.” ✨
“She is a naturally captivating artist. It will be impossible not to follow how she develops as an artist from here.”
