Description: | After becoming the youngest ever winner of the Van Cliburn Competition in June 2022, pianist Yunchan Lim became an overnight sensation. Yunchan was catapulted to stardom at home in Korea, and he has ignited an avid global audience, with both classical and non-classical fans describing how moved they are by the experience of watching him play. This fanbase has led him to be called â??classical musicâ??s answer to K-Popâ? (The New York Times).
His winning performance of Rachmaninoffâ??s 3rd Piano Concerto has 12 million views alone, and became the most viewed rendition of the work on YouTube. Critics are naming the 19-year-old the next great pianist with unanimous acclaim for his performances. He is now selling out concert halls all over the world and being booked by the most prestigious orchestras and festivals.
So Decca Classics is particularly proud to release his debut studio album: the Chopin Ã?tudes, Op.10 & Op.25. - Yunchan Lim is the one of the most talked-about classical artists on the planet. In 2024 he presents his debut studio album on Decca Classics - the Chopin Études, Op.10 & Op.25. "To me, Chopin is a composer who yearned for the past. I wanted the album cover to feel like solitude and nostalgia, and to look like you have come across an old photo." - Yunchan LimRecording location: Henry Wood Hall, London (17-20 Dec 2023)
Including 24-page insert with interview by Jessica Duchen (??? ??? ??)
