this is an artist who unites seriousness and playfulness, intellectual curiosity and imagination. His refreshing programme is framed by the two books of Debussy’s dozen Études...Fu makes them sound as if they had just been written, his playing wonderfully clean and crisp, never overstated but of ten marvellous.

As for the Debussy Études, Fu’s recordings contain some of the most enchantingly characterised interpretations I’ve heard since those of Ju-Ying Song, Florent Boffard, Mitsuko Uchida and Jean-Efflam Bavouzet. Yes, they’re that good!
