Biography:
The Odin Interna<onal Music Online Compe<<on commented on Mr. Jen-Hao
Yeh’s performance of Frescobaldi’s toccata and Brahms’ first piano sonata that
“These were highly intelligent readings of not the most explored repertoire, full
of clarity and polyphonic interest as if the pianist was a conductor commanding
all his ten fingers to do his will…There was good contrast between Brahms’
grand orchestral piano sound and his melancholy introspec<on, into which he
was to re<re much later in his composing career. Mul< faceted played of great
convic<on!”
With the ability to create various colors in sound and contrasts between
different musical styles, Mr. Yeh has recently been awarded top prizes of
several compe<<ons, such as I Prize of Odin Interna<onal Music Online
Compe<<on, I Prize of Muse Interna<onal Compe<<on and I Prize of Golden
Classical Music Awards, which has invited Mr. Yeh to perform the Winners
Concerts at Carnegie Hall. Mr. Yeh has held a recital at The Na<onal Performing
Arts Center of Taiwan (R.O.C.), one of the most iconic concert halls in the
