About
The premiere disc from this remarkable young Chinese-American pianist and composer. Features music by Rachmaninov and Ravel, as well as compositions by Conrad himself, including an inspired work for iPad and piano. Also a work by New York born composer, Meredith Monk.
Conrad describes this album as being “about iridescence, about color, shifting, Perception, hallucinatory shapes”.
“He is exceptionally gifted, and an 18 year old teenager of the digital era. Quite a catch for the future.” Jean Philippe Rolland, President of A&R, EMI Classics

September 2013
Tao brings a fresh vitality and terrific momentum to [Gaspard]...this is a thoroughly enjoyable and consistently impressive recording from Tao, blending old with new, conventional with less conventional...There is more than sufficient variety to hold the interest and I must say Tao's compositions are really growing on me
New York Times 25th November 2015
All of these pieces, in different ways, evoke images and people through music...Though his account of “Pictures at an Exhibition” is sometimes a little percussive for my taste, he plays it with enormous imagination, color and command.
