Haiou Zhang (piano)About
‘I still clearly remember when, for the first time, I heard a couple of bars in the last movement of Beethoven’s Opus 109 – it was about 20 years ago and I felt deeply touched and captured at that moment ... It was something truly indescribable to me. I felt that this composition would grow as if it were an extension of my own musical language. It is now very clear to me that Opus 109 will always be the music to accompany me through all the ups and downs of life, and the same is also true for Opus 111 .
It has to be admitted that I totally fell in love with the variations to be found in Opus 111. I desperately wanted to be part of that particular world encompassed by the fragile and sublime colours which are to be found between the “pp” and “ppp” (“very quiet” and “extremely quiet”) parts of the work, which permeate the whole special atmosphere. It seems as if one is being driven towards infinity – somehow it might even take one to a sublime place without conflicts, pain and evil.
‘Every Sunday morning – these two Bach Transcriptions (Largo from BWV 529 and Aria from BWV 208) are part of my confession. They are part of a better realisation of my true self, and the recognition and change of myself for the past few years. They form part of a sincere internal dialogue with myself without any pressure and expectations.’
