" . . . I felt that she gave the most imaginative, fiery and ultimately convincing account of her pianism and musicianship-the erstwhile prevailing carefulness was often superseded by infusions of whimsical humor, passionate poetry and, even once or twice, a modicum of anger."

Harris Goldsmith, New York Concert Review

" . . . Chang brought skill and sensitivity to bear upon challenging essays from two masters of the piano . . . she strung a liquid, wire-fine melody above the G-major ostinato, delicately clouded by prudent pedaling and approached the chorda episodes tenderly, voicing them with a chorale-lie reverence . . .  her account of the polonaise retained the delicacy and tender sensibility in its ornamentation, mixing with it a balanced portion of animation and thrust to bring to life the gregarious cadence of the Polish dance . . . Chang very appropriately brought a bit of that filmy, contemplative quality to Liszt, but never employed it at the expense to his formidable virtuosity . . . "

Clifton J. Noble, Jr., Springfield Republican

" . . . Dr. Anita Chang assayed the formidable Liszt Tarantella.  Against the giant-handed Liszt's hurtling measure, the diminutive artist more than held her own with octaval leaps, swift arpeggios and compressed intricacy that won both praise and wonder, while finding its frugal melodic terms . . . "

Clarence Anderson, Palos Verdes Peninsula News

"  . . . Outstanding pianist!"

--Laredo Morning Times

" . . . Of all the music, I was most attracted to the concise, incisive Three Erocations.  Pianist Anita Chang captured the first movement's somber demeanor, her crisper phrasing was effective . . . "
