"Different from other musical performers, for pianists, controlling instruments is a challenge , cause we always want to show the perfect sound on the stage to express the best interpretation of the works. With its ever-changing sound and the pianists’ imagination, Bechstein is the ideal musical partner. I always feel confident about my performance with its companion!"
