"In the first major piano recital of the season, Tian Ying set the bar unimaginably high.
If we are lucky others will play as well; no one is going to play better... Ying is an ideal Rachmaninoff pianist, an imaginative storyteller and landscape painter, tireless, passionate - and tasteful. And in Tian Ying's hands, a black box filled with hammers and strings become a treasure hoard of glints and colors."

"Perfection is an elusive goal in music - insight, intent, and realization become one, just for now, and that's what Tian Ying at his best achieved!"

THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR "This was mesmerizing, poetic, unforgettable musicianship."

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER "Mr. Ying's exquisite exploration of the piano produced some of the most beautiful playing..."

FANFARE "For even more impressive than his technique is the quality of interpretations, which steadfastly refuse to fall into any stylistic niche. On one hand, his playing is often modernistically sharp, even biting. One the other hand, his pearly legato and artfully sculpted dynamics can seduce your ear. What remains absolutely consistent from beginning to end, though, is the freshness of his musical vision."

THE BAKERSFIELD CALIFORNIAN "Ying's performance was not only perfect, it was joyous, playful, even original... His energy, his drive, his phrasing breathed new
life."

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS "Ying is one of the finest pianistic technicians I have ever heard."

THE EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD "I have never heard it (Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20) played more compellingly than Ying did. It was a musical even that will not be forgotten. Ever!"

Winner of many prestigious awards, including high honors at the Eighth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 1989, Tian Ying has become well known for his eloquent, poetic, dramatically intense performances.
