Reviews
“His programme was carefully crafted to present a very wide variety of repertoire while creating an overall sense of shape. His poise, technical command and musicality were never in doubt, but the outstanding feature of his playing was his ability to elucidate the structure of the music. This reached its climax in a spellbinding account of Michael Tippett’s Sonata No 3. This taxing work held the audience enthralled and he received a tremendous ovation.
Alan Stockbridge, Chairman of the Church Stretton Arts Festival wrote ‘Lee Jae Phang provided a solo piano performance that demonstrated his great ability to play a wide variety of repertoire with great interpretation and passion. His dexterity in Tippett’s third piano sonata, which he informed us has an average of 89 notes to the bar, was simply amazing.’
After a buzzing interval the audience returned for the journey of the second half of the programme, music by Haydn, Chopin and Liszt in which Lee Jae Phang built on the rapport already established with the audience."
— Claire Tocknell, Musical Director of the Church Stretton Arts Festival
“His coherent and deeply felt Beethoven (the E major Sonata op 109) was followed by two vital and colourful Debussy Preludes. These led logically to the rarity on the programme: the sixth and last of Ligeti’s epochmaking Etudes Book One, “Automne à Varsovie” (Warsaw Autumn). Having given the UK premiere myself, I know how blisteringly difficult the piece is, yet Lee Jae gave an effortlessly fluent account which, more importantly, found the musicality and haunting poetry in this most beautiful of contemporary etudes."
— Julian Jacobson, renowned British concert pianist and BPSE Chairman
