Pianist and Etucationalist
“I heard Wang Yang’s musical personality as always: delicate, gentle and lovely, flexible and changeable. Compared to her teenage years, her music is more mature and personal.” – Jin Tang. Professor of Piano, The Music Middle School Affiliated to Shanghai Conservatory of Music Pianist and Etucationalist
“In a sunny and refreshing spring afternoon, with flowers competing to bloom and birds competing to sing, the music being played back from the new piano solo album of Yang Wang just glorifies the best season of the year. This album consisting of ten pieces of lovely music that Yang Wang loves the most is a heartfelt dedication to music and to listeners. Her playing and interpretation honestly and truly unfolds her cleaning world of jolly and beauty that shows the best God gives her and the best she can offer, seemingly sentimental but secretly rich and profound from within. Her interpretation of all the music in this new album exhibits a fascinating world of human feelings from an adorable and beautiful young pianist. I am so proud of her as her teacher and her true listener as well.
When I heard that Yang Wang donated to her alma mater the prize money of over ten thousand Yuan that she won from an international piano competition that she partook for the first time, I was so moved and took it an honor to introduce her debut recording CD to everyone I can reach. I believe that there are something more in what she recorded in this new album of hers, music that has been accompanying her for her growth in music learning and her formative growing years, which makes wonderful girl as what she is today. I would like to call this album An Album of Unforgettable Music Scenery or A Music Journey of A Scented Girl.” – Ms.Hong Huang. Professor at Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and expert exclusively selected by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China
