Frederic Chiu (born 20 October 1964) is a Chinese American classical concert pianist. 　　After his studies, he moved to France, where he lived for 12 years. His career developed without entering the circuit of international piano competitions. His recording career began in 1991 with Harmonia Mundi USA, with the well-received release of a program of piano transcriptions. He followed that with a large project of recording the complete Piano Sonatas of Sergei Prokofiev. His recorded repertoire includes Mendelssohn, Rossini, Chopin, Liszt, Grieg, Brahms, Ravel, Decaux, Schoenberg, Schubert, Prokofiev and Saint-Saëns. He recorded the Liszt transcription for solo piano of the Beethoven Symphony #5. In 2015, he released the first Classical piano recording on the Yamaha Entertainment Group label, Distant Voices: piano music of Claude Debussy & Gao Ping. Chiu's most recent recording is called "Hymns and Dervishes" and comprises a selection of Middle-eastern inspired works and Western inspired works by Gurdjieff/de Hartmann. It will be released by Centaur Records in early 2016.
