” (..) and everything he (Ning An) touched had plangent tone and melting, poetic sensitivity. Each piece seemed to grow from within rather than being hammered into shape from the outside. Even the “Dante” Sonata, for all its searing bravura, glowed with tender tone coloring, and Chopin’s Third Sonata, so hard to hold together, seemed all of a piece in Ning’s hands. This is a young pianist to watch….”
Miami Herald, June 2000

“It is rare, even in these days of burgeoning talent, to encounter a pianist who combines a flawless technique and mastery of the instrument with an expressive power that is fueled not only by the local beauties of Chopin’s music, but equally powerfully with a profound and insightful understanding of Chopin’s harmonic and formal dramaturgy. ( …. ) Ning An impresses with his developed musicianship, his discerning sense of form and style, his penetrating and illuminating interpretation, and his perfect technical command. I have no doubt that he will join the ranks of the finest interpreters of Chopin.”
New York Concert Review, April 2000

“Ning An’s personal and involving style, backed by a prodigious technique carried the day, as it should have. The 26-year-old, Chinese-born, Boston-based musician is a remarkable artist, a find.”
Tim Smith, Baltimore Sun, 2003

“La facildad tecnica de este pianista es asombrosa, como lo es tambien su capacidad para concentrarse en la musica. Tocando Bach, la partita no.5 su sonido era transparente y la manera de tocar permitia escuchar todas las voces con una claridad admirable.”
Translation:
“The technical facility of this pianist is amazing, as it is also his capacity to concentrate itself in the music. Playing the Bach partita no.5 one found sound that was transparent and found the way to permit one to listen to all the voices with an admirable clarity.”
Angel Cordoba, Diario de Cordoba, 2003

“An is, without doubt, among the two or three most technically gifted pianists to ever play on the Young Pianists Series, the alumni list of which includes a number of pianists who have gone on to mega careers.”
Harold Duckett, Knoxville News Sentinel 2004

“Deep down, An seems to be a Chopin man. He played the three Ballades with a compelling combination of intensity and a sense of leisure. He allowed the music to breathe and the sound to well out of the piano, and he had the patience and concentration needed to allow everything to happen in its own time. Its not easy to make them sound new and breathtaking, but An did.”
Joan Reinthler, Washington Post, 2004

“In his Chopin program, Ning An again shared magisterial artistry. His account of the Sonata in B minor blended heavenly lyricism, emotional fervor and keyboard fireworks. The “Black Keys” etude went by like a refreshing wind.”
Donald Rosenberg, Cleveland Plain Dealer, 2005
