Fanfare Reviews Frederic Chiu Beethoven Symphonies V & VII

PURCHASE! 

The inner workings of Beethoven's musical thoughts are brought to our attention with a focus only the sharpest of today's HIP orchestras can match. Chiu also has the technique to manage Liszt's challenges at speed, working up quite a head of steam in the finales of both symphonies...It is a delight to see any new recording from Frederic Chiu. This excellent musician does not visit the recording studio often enough. July/August Fanfare Magazine

Inaugural DPS Summer Session! Inner-work and Innovation a huge success!

A tornado launched by Tropical Storm Isaias could not keep Frederic from leading his first Inner-work and Innovation Week on Zoom! Despite losing power, internet and cell service, Frederic brought together a group of dedicated pianists across 5 timezones stretching from Seoul to Los Angeles. During the week, they learned and performed from memory a new piece without ever practicing it, learned Meditation For Pianists, attended a masterclass and bonded over the unique pleasures and challenges of being a pianist. In the words of one of the participants, "Frederic takes the 'whole person pianist' seriously in a way that I've never encountered before." LINK
