Many Chinese and East Asian films are very successful due to their fantastic creativity and innovation. Here are a selection that deserve your attention. Rawle Austin presents... A Young Master of the Piano
Niu Niu was born on July 11 1997. His early advanced musical ability lead to his father Zhang Chengfeng (the headmaster of Aixin Training school) training him from the age of four. After a succession of noted tutors he is now guided by his current mentor William Chen. His repertoire includes eighteen Mozart concertos, and concertos by Chopin and Beetoven which is simply astounding for a boy of his age. Niu Niu’s first public performance was in Xiamen in August 2003.
I was struck by seeing this nine year old, dressed to the nines in full suit and tails, given his small stature. He gave a bow to the audience before sitting at the grand piano. And then he began to play.
All the while, Niu Niu’s parents watched proudly from the front row. I felt privileged to be listening to a legend unfold before my very ears. The finale saw Niu Niu duet with the Shostakovich Chamber Players (a mini orchestra) lead by Ania Safonova and Andrew Crowley on solo trumpet.
So remember, this will not be the last time that you hear about the captivating sounds from the fingers of Niu Niu. Long may his musical career flourish!
