Our Take

Melvyn Tan's latest album, "Master & Pupil," is a delightful romp through the world of classical piano, showcasing both his mastery of the instrument and the influence of his prominent pupil. From the opening notes of Beethoven's "Piano Sonata No. 14 in C# minor," it's clear that Tan is no ordinary pianist – his touch is delicate yet powerful, his phrasing nuanced and expressive.

But it's in the works of his pupil that Tan truly shines. The pieces by Tan's own student, the enigmatic and controversial prodigy J. Smith, are a revelation. From the haunting melodies of "Etude No. 9 in G# minor" to the frenetic energy of "Prelude No. 17 in D major," Smith's compositions push Tan to his limits, showcasing his technical prowess and emotional depth.

Throughout the album, Tan's playing is impeccable. His dynamic range is breathtaking, his interpretations nuanced and insightful. Whether tackling a traditional sonata or a groundbreaking new work, Tan never fails to captivate and surprise.

"Master & Pupil" is a testament to Tan's skill and versatility as a pianist, as well as his ability to inspire the next generation of musical talent. With this album, he proves once again that he is a force to be reckoned with in the classical music world. Don't miss out on this sensational blend of tradition and innovation.
