This is how Belgian Stéphanie Huang sounded in the final Queen Elisabeth Competition: audience blazing, herself “reasonably satisfied”

This concerto by Antonin Dvořák is Stéphanie Huang’s favorite piece and its performance was also liked by the commentators on Canvas and Klara. Veerle Simoens, cellist and director of the Festival van Vlaanderen Gent, calls Huang “a poet” and cellist and teacher Viviane Spanoghe praises her “carried and controlled” performance, “where virtuosity is at the service of the music”. De Zes, the youth jury of six Flemish cello students, also unanimously found Stéphanie Huang’s playing “phenomenal”.
