Frederic Chiu - Hymns Dervishes
Review by Milan Vydareny
Frederic Chiu's album Hymns Dervishes is a mesmerizing collection of classical piano pieces that showcases his virtuosity and musicality. The album features a diverse range of compositions, including works by Bach, Scriabin, and Debussy, as well as traditional Turkish and Sufi music.
Chiu's technical prowess is on full display throughout the album, as he navigates complex runs and intricate rhythms with ease. However, what truly sets Hymns Dervishes apart is Chiu's ability to infuse each piece with a sense of emotional depth and nuance.
Whether he is playing a haunting Turkish melody or a lively Bach fugue, Chiu is able to convey the essence of each piece with clarity and sensitivity. His playing is both technically impressive and deeply expressive, making for a truly captivating listening experience.
