Description
See Siang Wong is a Swiss-Malaysian pianist.
Wong's parents, both Chinese, were born in Singapore and Malaysia. Wong studied in the Netherlands with Marjès Benoist and in Switzerland with the pianists Homero Francesch and Bruno Canino. He made his debut at age 12, accompanied by the Dutch Radio Orchestra.
In addition to his performances of standard repertoire, Wong has an interest in contemporary music. In 2008, he initiated the Project "Swiss Piano", in which he is promoting the creation of new piano works. Many Swiss composers have contributed to this project already and dedicated piano pieces to him, including Daniel Fueter, Hans Ulrich Lehmann, Laurent Mettraux, Jürg Wyttenbach, Gérard Zinsstag, and Alfred Zimmerlin.
On the Decca Label Wong has released six albums:
Chopin: Waltzes and Nocturnes
Claude Debussy: Early piano works
Mozart: Piano Sonatas
Schumann: Piano Works
Beethoven: Piano Sonatas
Haydn/Mozart: Piano Concertos.
In 2012, he released his first album on the RCA Red Seal Label with piano works of Franz Schubert, which won the Golden Label Award of the Belgian classical critics.
