| Some Reviews |
“Liu’s performance revealed a rare combination
of strength and sensitivity…..His hands almost made one forget
that the piano is a percussion instrument.”
- Washington Post
“
Power, digitality and dynamic resources in great abundance.”
- Los Angeles Times
“
Liu is a musical visionary with unusual insights…..It was our good fortune
to hear a pianist whose playing sounded as natural as breathing.”
- The Toronto Star
“
Before he was off the stage, the Academy audience was on its feet,
awarding him a deserved standing ovation…..the young pianist dazzled the
audience.”
- Philadelphia Inquirer
