Fou Ts’ong (1934-2020) was a Chinese-born pianist, internationally admired for Chopin, Mozart, Schubert and Debussy. He became one of the first Chinese pianists to build a major career in the West.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert and Debussy recordings from the late twentieth century.

Fou’s playing was poetic, refined and inwardly alive, with a particular gift for tonal shading and expressive flexibility. His Chopin could feel both natural and deeply considered.

His page is essential in this piano strand. Fou Ts’ong brings a delicate but unmistakable flame to the keyboard shelf.
