Tzu-Yu Yang deserves applause for her two magnificent instruments from 1806 and 1815 respectively. She takes full advantage of the chromatic variety of these five- and six-pedal pianos, which are capable of modifying the sound separately for the right and left hands. The articulation is crystal clear and the phrasing is luminously transparent.
Scherzo
One of the leading historical keyboard instruments specialists of her generation, Tzu-Yu Yang currently works as a collaborative fortepianist and harpsichordist at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. Her recording of Beethoven’s 3rd and 4th Piano Concerto in the Lachner version together with Thibault Back de Surany and The Van Swietens was released by IBS Classical España in June 2024 to great critical success.
A graduate of the Mozarteum University in Salzburg and the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover, she is a much sought-after accompanist and chamber music partner.
She has performed around Europe and Asia in venues such as Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht, Musikverein in Vienna, Stiftung Mozarteum in Salzburg and the National Concert Hall in Taipei.
Pedagogy is at the very core of Tzu-Yu’s musical life: she is co-founder and director of Concerto Taipei, the first Academy dedicated to Classical and Romantic Performance Practice in Asia.
