Dear music lovers of Taiwan,

First of all, I would like to thank YOU, our audience, very much. I had the great opportunity to give 4 concerts in Weiwuying's magical concert hall. It was always a great pleasure. Hopefully this new CD with my fantastic colleague Wen-Sinn Yang makes this wonderful place, with the largest organ in Asia, even better known all over the world. Special thanks go to Maestro Wen-Pin and his excellent team who meticulously prepare everything and create a warm and excellent atmosphere.

To many wonderful musical experiences together in the future.
