Described as an artist who "plays with the white-hot energy, steel-fingered, power and athletic virtuosity... has impetuosity and undeniably impressive technique.” The world-renowned Taiwanese-Austrian pianist Rueibin Chen has successfully showed that he can play with delicacy and imagination. As the youngest prize winner of the International Rachmaninoff Piano Competition, Chen is deeply influenced by his teacher, Lazar Berman, who is descended from Liszt, Siloti, Goldenweiser and Rachmaninoff. The tour “Total Rachmaninoff” is named after Rachmaninoff and is held in honor of the 140th anniversary of his birth.
