Lu Siqing’s penetrating piano sound, precise pitch, just right phrase processing, and passionate performance are all shocking, but his most outstanding performance is that he puts his personality through every piece of music. A note bursts out, and the clear sound of the piano has the euphemism and delicacy of Chinese culture, the rationality and restraint of European culture, and the openness and enthusiasm of American culture. He is a musical genius and an unparalleled violinist!
