"Singapore native Margaret Leng Tan is one of the leading New Music pianists around. Tan plays all the works with grace, sympathy and power. Watch for her."In this second recording from the "diva of the avant-garde", Margaret Leng Tan features a feast of contemporary piano works by three composers: John Cage (USA), Somei Satoh (Japan) and Ge Gan-ru (China/USA). By exploring the effects of Asian aestehtics on contemporary American composers and the influences of American composers on their Asian counterparts, she displays an extreme sensitivity to the beauty and expressive power of sound that creates the modern day multi-cultural soundscape.—San Francisco Chronicle
