'Kristian Chong is the brightest star in the heady firmanent of young pianists emerging from
Melbourne (Australia) today... His performance of Rachmaninoff's 1st concerto was done with such
simplicity and depth of tone that highlighted Rachmaninoff's prodigious melodic gift....The
deafening applause that erupted as the last bravura chord was struck was testament indeed
to the huge pianistic career Chong will most certainly enjoy. '
Herald Sun (Australia)

'Kristian Chong is a pianist of impressive talent and sensitivity...'

...a true chamber musician at work...'
The Age (Australia)

'This was playing with finesse and strength in the best proportions'
Croydon Advertiser (London)
