Vienna Teng (born Cynthia Yih Shih on October 3, 1978) is a Taiwanese American pianist and singer-songwriter based in New York City. She began studying classical piano at the age of 5. She took her stage name “Vienna” from the Austrian city famous for its musical history, and “Teng” from the surname of famous Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng.

Teng’s musical style incorporates folk, pop, classical piano, and a cappella influences. She uses piano as her primary instrument and charges her lyrics with emotion, narrative, and personal history. Teng is a baseline alto but sings over a wide range.

Teng has released four studio albums: Waking Hour (2002), Warm Strangers (2004), Dreaming Through The Noise (2006), and Inland Territory (2009).

The chick with piano thing get's old very fast but Vienna here takes it to an entirely different level. Her albums need a 'Premium Quality' sticker of sorts.

Happy birthday [2] It was just today I've been struck by the overflowing beauty of 'Passage'. I was already taken by it, but today I've finally come to terms with it's intensity.

It'll always amaze me how her music is instantly recognisable from album to album, yet each one is still obviously different. She's a master of the understated. :)

every day i put a different song of hers on repeat. when i first discovered her it was eric's song. a week ago it was homecoming, then it was city hall, then it was nothing without you, and now it's shasta. i feel like i need to listen to her songs every day. it just helps me get through. (:

Inland Territory actually may have dethroned Waking Hour as my favorite Vienna album...and that's not an easy thing to do. Brilliant artist. Can't wait for the live-recording concerts in SF.

I think all of her albums improve with several listens. They each vary greatly from one another, but I think each of them is a masterpiece in its own way.

i love everything of hers so much. it's taking me a while to get into inland territory though, it feels kind of different to her other albums. not in a bad way, just seems to take some getting used to.
