As far as this new album is concerned, neither Glinka nor Dvorák are foreign words to Haiou Zhang, who is regarded as one of the most passionate pianists of his generation.

The Dvorák Piano Quintet and Glinka's Gran Sestetto have always been at the center of his chamber music repertoire. Haiou Zhang has performed these masterpieces in numerous concerts with ensembles.

"It took quite a while before I really felt ready for a recording. Both pieces are delicate and require great attention to achieve the perfect balance of sound and harmony." (Haiou Zhang)
