“He has the potential to become a once-in-generation pianist, one who combines astounding virtuosity with interpretive depth.”
– The New Yorker
Yunchan Lim presents his debut studio album – the Chopin Études, Op.10 & Op.25 on Decca Classics. The South Korean pianist became the youngest ever winner of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2022, aged only 18; his performance of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 moved his conductor Marin Alsop to tears and gathered unprecedented millions of online viewers. In the months following, his rise to stardom has been meteoric, with invitations from the most prestigious concert halls and orchestras. Now, setting down the Études, Lim is putting himself in a direct line with some of the greatest pianists of the past. He has grown up listening to great pianists recording this music, including some of his favourites – Vladimir Ashkenazy, Alfred Cortot, Ignaz Friedman, Joseph Lhevinne, Mark Hambourg and Sergio Fiorentino, among others.
