Yunchan Lim, one of the most talked-about classical artists on the planet right now, announces the release of his debut studio album, Chopin Études via Decca Classics, on 19th April 2024. Hailed as a “One-in-a-million talent” (Dallas Morning News) and having “the potential to become a once-in-generation pianist, one who combines astounding virtuosity with interpretive depth.” (The New Yorker), Yunchan will be performing the Chopin Études at his Carnegie Hall debut on 21st February.
He is the pianist everyone wanted to sign, and hit the headlines (again) when Decca proudly released the news that they had snapped up the musician, following a prolonged bidding war. Known as the 'Classical answer to K-Pop,' he became the youngest-ever winner of the Van Cliburn Competition in June 2022. His magnetic stage presence, combined with deep musicality, has garnered him a devoted global fanbase, leading to sold-out concert halls worldwide. The public has described the teenager's performances as “visceral,” “magnetic,” and “poetic.” His blazing rendition of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No.3 in Texas moved conductor Marin Alsop to tears and reached 13 million streams online. The New York Times named his interpretation in the finals one of the top 10 classical performances of 2022, and The Economist stated, “Anyone needing a break from doomscrolling is advised to join the millions of listeners enthralled by Mr. Lim’s Rach 3.”

    SFCV - Richard S. Ginell writes…..Here’s a new semi-mathematical equation for the day: Beethoven + Tchaikovsky + Dudamel + Lim = Sold-out event at Hollywood Bowl.Well, not quite a sold-out crowd. A Los Angeles Philharmonic spokesperson said that the attendance count Thursday night (Aug. 29) was a little over 13,000 (out of 17,500 seats), although it looked like a lot more to this inveterate Bowl-goer.

  • Yunchan Lim's 'Chopin Studies' are a triumph / GRAMOPHONE
    Posted At: May 23, 2024 12:00 AM
    GRAMOPHONE writes….Ever since Yunchan Lim became the youngest-ever winner of the Van Cliburn Gold Medal in June 2022, the piano grapevine has been buzzing with news of his prowess. Audiences in Fort Worth were blown away by his Rachmaninov Third Concerto in the final round, as they had been by his complete Liszt Transcendental Studies in the semi-final, the latter now available as a live recording and revie...
