HSIA-JUNG CHANG'S NEW CD
Chopin Etudes Op. 10 & Op. 25
"Hsia-Jung Chang lets these Etudes flow in an effortless motion, in nuances of might and tenderness, light fingertippings and heavily flexing biceps."

HSIA-JUNG CHANG'S EXPERIMENTAL CD
Inside the Piano –
21st Century Improvisations
Structured improvisation using mostly the inside of the piano rather than the keys, with unconventional sounds reminiscent of the meditative instruments qin, wood blocks, bells, ancient Asian melodies, willow talk, creaking doorways, bugs, and Chopin.
This CD has become a favorite of experimental music DJs across the country.
"This is a fascinating collection of experimental music that is accessible, surprising, witty, reflective and often eerily beautiful (especially the lovely ‘Drunk on Taiji’ - watch video ).
The album is highly recommended, as are Hsia-Jung Chang’s recordings of Chopin Etudes and Preludes."

Love songs in 5 languages!
HO LAN (biografía en Español aquí)
Echo from Deep Valley
1960s Taiwanese phenomenon, guitar-playing, whistling, and yodeling songstress Ho Lan sings four Mexican standards Maria Elena, Cucurrucucu Paloma, La Malagueña Salerorsa and Granada, followed by Mike Velarde Jr.'s poignant love song Ikaw sung in Tagalog. Also included on this multi-lingual, cross-cultural album are three songs sung in Mandarin Chinese: Echo from Deep Valley and Heart's Wish by Ho Lan, and her own arrangement of the Chinese folk song Jasmine Blossom, familiar to Western ears thanks to Puccini's Turandot. Ho Lan sings a yodeling rendition of the American campfire favorite Home on the Range, the Polynesian/English version of the Hawaiian Wedding Song, and a dynamic big band arrangement of Rudolf Friml's 1920s hit Indian Love Call.

HSIA-JUNG CHANG
Chopin: Complete Préludes
recorded on a rebuilt 1907 Pleyel, Chopin's favorite make of pianos,
featuring pianist Hsia-Jung Chang.
Hsia-Jung Chang's CD is unique to me, not only in that it has brought me some peace of mind and some consolation in a time of heartbreak, but also because I can stack it on the shelf alongside Josef Hoffman and Ignaz Friedman with a conviction of it's natural domiciliary rights up there!
It goes without saying that nothing is flawed in the pianist's technique, far from it. Instead I should stress that she executes these vulnerable pieces of Chopin with the ease of breathing; it's amazing and elating.
- Ingvar Loco Nordin, Swedish music critic

One of the features this recording offers, and therefore recommends it de facto to the listener, is an excursion into a facsimile of Chopin's own sound world.

HSIA-JUNG CHANG
Chopin: 4 Ballades, Impromptus, Berceuse
Complete Impromptus, Ballades, Berceuse of Frédéric
Chopin played by pianist Hsia-Jung Chang.
Ms. Chang's interpretation of the four Ballades has been hailed by
New York critic Harris Goldsmith as:
". . . thrillingly revelatory and inspired rethinkings of
four of Chopin's supreme masterpieces. Such clear-headedness and selfless
honesty are exciting to encounter - all the more so since Chopin is
so frequently mauled by 'Tradition.'"
