Extractions: [an error occurred while processing this directive] Music Reviews Mar 19, 1999 - Pianist Tian Jiang Plays Brilliant Pioneer Center Concert By Jack Neal The exceptional Chinese pianist Tian Jiang played a beautifully packaged recital at the Pioneer Center Thursday night. Unfortunately, the concert - sponsored by Washoe County Community Concerts - was not well attended, which is a loss for the students of piano artistry who would have enjoyed and learned much from what Tian has to offer. Tian brought distinctive insights to all he played for a presentation of rare subtlety and delicate coloration. His playing is a blend of the European culture his extensive gifts obviously embrace, and the artistic refinement of the land of his birth. His hands-across-the-sea approach worked wonderfully. The three traditional European works - Chopin's Scherzo No. 2 in B flat minor, Op. 31, Prokofiev's Sonata No. 3 in A minor, Op. 28, and Schumann's monumental Carnaval, Op. 9 - were splendidly brought to life amidst fluttering pianissimos, discrete inflections, and - when rapture called - grittier flights of bombast. It was quite a show. It was also quite an achievement; show never, ever overshadowed grace, charm and enchantment. His Chopin was both lovely and seductive - a hard-to-come-by combination. Just for navigational purposes, the work's bigger-than-life structure requires virtuosity in the nth degree. Tian has the technical facility to traverse the Chopin's scary peaks and crevasses and then some. With Tian, the ardent anxiety of the Scherzo's lyrical second theme had a defiance fueled by the prolongation of harmonic tension over long stretches, that was not just a nod in the direction of the work's underlying turbulence, it was deep down and scrumptious Chopinesque playing.
