About

Born in 1999 in the Chinese province of Gansu, Chen Xue-Hong was quickly selected as part of the training program for the most talented students at the Beijing Central Conservatory of Music, where he studied with Zhang Xinning, Wei Danwen, and Du Taihang. He has won several national and international competitions as a young pianist, including the Chopin Competition in Beijing, the Astana Competition, the Horowitz Competition, and the St. Petersburg Competition. He has also already given numerous concerts in China as well as at prestigious venues in Europe and the United States. As a pianist of rare musical integrity and concentration, with a unique blend of depth and exceptional technical facilities, Chen Xue-Hong is currently studying in Beijing while pursuing his promising career as a concert soloist. Frédéric Chopin is one of Chen Xue-Hong’s favorite composers. He loves both the brilliant musician and the personality of his compositions. This recording was realized by Accentus Music in partnership with the Académie France-Chine. The academy was launched in 2018 by the outstanding pianist Zhu Xiao-Mei with the support of Cartier. The purpose of the academy is to promote music education and training, to encourage the emergence of highly talented young artists and to foster cultural exchange between Europe and China.

January/February 2020

The touchstone of the concert is the First Ballade. From its opening notes, a dramatic context is evoked. Chen’s approach to its form is so complete that it is like an expanding universe, its rhythmic pulse lengthening and contracting so that the work’s manifold emotions seem like a single idea. believe this is the first time, in over a decade of reviewing, that I have recommended a teenager’s Chopin playing. All I can say is, what’s next?
