A jaw-dropping pianist who steals the show…with effortless finesse.
— Washington Post
...the programme concept [referring to Amy Yang’s solo album, “Resonance”] is absolutely inspired, for each of these three works [by Bach, Caroline Shaw, and Schumann], though stylistically divergent, embodies wide contrasts of mood. [Yang brings] fervency and audacity...to her Bach. The Ouverture’s introduction comes to vivid life through Yang’s coiled freedom and deft ornaments. Her lily-gilded Allemande...made me smile.
Yang’s freedom reaches epic proportions throughout the Schumann... Still, the music readily absorbs Yang’s subjective touches... Perhaps her big ideas translate into even bigger, juicier pianism live in concert; I’d love to find out.

Yang elevated joy to the edge of rapture.

A magnificent artist and poet with a Midas touch for tone and music. Everything she touches turns to gold.

Amy Yang gave a seamless, hypnotic account of the Schumann-Debussy...

Cynthia Raim and Amy Yang were scrupulous in the care they gave to each motif, as it was passed gently back and forth between them.

I’m playing a piece of Schumann four-hands with a fine pianist named Amy Yang.

...the excellent performance [of Crumb’s ‘Vox Balaenae’] showed continuity with Marlboro’s spirit. It was refreshing to see that idea applied as faithfully to Crumb as to Mozart and Dvorak. ...flutist Marina Piccinini, cellist Susan Babini, and pianist Amy Yang - made it a highly invigorating experience.
— Boston Globe
Amy Yang [in a] wonderful program of Bach and Schumann, spiced the gracious [Bach] meloies with fast turns and lightning connecting scales. Throughout Schumann, Yang conveyed the exuberance and enthusiasm of youth. Her warm tone suggested both illusionary lightness and physical freedom. Even stormy moments reflected exhilaration.

Amy Yang is an extraordinarily beautiful and sensitive young pianist. Hearing her play, one cannot help loving and admiring her and her music making infinitely. Few pianists her age can hold an audience to that extent.
