CD:
Chopin – Schumann – Scriabin

The three CDs feature young Chinese pianists and were realised in partnership with the Académie France-Chine. Worldwide release on 7 June 2019.

In June, Accentus Music releases three CDs with piano works by Frédéric Chopin, Robert Schumann and Alexander Scriabin. The recordings were realised in partnership with the Académie France-Chine. The academy was launched in 2018 by world-renowned pianist Zhu Xiao-Mei with the support of Cartier. The purpose of the academy is to promote music education and training, to encourage the emergence of highly talented young artists and to foster cultural exchange between Europe and China.

On 25 May 2019, Chen-Xue Hong, Zhang Cheng, and Chen Yunjie, together with the fourth academy laureate Chen Sa performed in a festive piano recital at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris. The concert was filmed by Accentus Music in 4K HDR and a screener will be available by the end of June.
