Fou Ts’ong – described by Time magazine as the greatest Chinese musician alive today – was born in Shanghai in 1934. He studied in Warsaw, winning the Chopin Competition, and then settled in London in 1960. In recent years, he has performed again in China, and in 1998 played in Beijing and Shanghai, donating his fees to the victims of recent floods. He has performed worldwide on every continent, given master classes, and made numerous acclaimed recordings, including more than a dozen on Meridian. Fou Ts’ong is famous for his beautifully controlled cantabile playing and his sensitivity to the nuances of the music he loves.
