"TOP 30 UNDER 30: The New Generation Classical"
KDFC, 102.1 Classical, April 2007


"Some pianists emerge from the womb with serious pianistic chops, as did Evgeny Kissin, who astonished the music world when he was 13 years old. Such a gifted pianist would also seem to be 16-year-old Chloe Pang, who blew us away yesterday afternoon as she performed in the Concert Hall of the San Francisco Conservatory a massive program that contained on its second half the Rachmaninoff Third Piano Concerto in its entirety...This was the playing of a mature artist...Ms. Pang's performance of the Rachmaninoff was technically masterful and musically compelling. Hers was big and powerful. We heard a formidable performance. Chloe Pang was obviously born to make music and born to play the piano."
"Chloe Pang Produces Powerful Performances" by Lyn Bronson, Peninsula Reviews, April 27, 2008


"Truly a cause of interest and celebration...supertalented...mature artistry...engaging...Pang unleashed her inner demon, which allowed the performance (of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3) to grow in dramatic intensity toward the climactic coda, where every last resource of the pianist is called upon to bring this piece to a triumphant conclusion. The audience responded with a howling ovation."
"Inner Demons Unleashed" by Vera Breheda, San Francisco Classical Voice, April 29, 2008


"It's been a while since I've listened transfixed to a new recording of the mighty Goldberg Variations - the fact that Chloe Christian Pang was only twelve years old when she made it is quite frankly astonishing...she is a natural musician right to the ends of her eloquent finger tips...to be able to experience a performance of this epic work that holds heart and mind in such perfect balance is treasurable."
Julian Haylock, International Piano Magazine, July/August 2005


"The orchestra was absolutely mesmerized with this young artist. Chloe Pang combines flawless technique with confidence, intelligence and heart far beyond her years. You must hear her play!"
Martha Stoddard, Artistic Director, Oakland Civic Orchestra


"Chloe Pang dazzle on George Gershwin's 'Rhapsody'...Pang has introduced something new: an overlay of elegance. Her finger control on the keys is so sensitive and expressive and her timing and pauses so artistically controlled, that it may only be described as exquisite."
Keith Kreitman, Inside Bay Area, March 29, 2007


"Poised beyond her years...radiated the kind of poise, confidence, and musical assurance usually reserved for musicians many years her senior."
Georgia Rowe, Contra Costa Times


"Bold, athletic ferocity. Pang boasts a nimble technique and a gift for wiry intensity, as well as a particularly strong rhythmic command."
Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle


"Bach's future seems secure in the hands of Chloe Pang, a remarkable 12 year old pianist who performs the Goldberg Variations with an understanding and perfection far beyond her years."
Martin Canin, The Juilliard School
Faculty since 1959, assistant to Rosina Lhevinne, 1959-76
