Ruth Leon recommends… Yunchan Lim – Chopin and Tchaikovsky
Daily Comfort ZoneYunchan Lim – Chopin and Tchaikovsky
I was lucky enough to have been invited to Wigmore Hall’s Gala this month which presented a great selection of musicians and music. Among those participating musicians was the 19-year old Yunchan Lim and Wigmore Hall is making his contribution to the Gala available free for the whole month.
Already a prodigious success at various international competitions, Yunchan Lim received the Gold Medal at the 2022 Van Cliburn Competition in Fort Worth at the age of 18 – the youngest ever winner. ‘Lim is a one-in-a-million talent’, wrote the Dallas Morning News, while for jury chair Marin Alsop he is ‘that rare artist who brings profound musicality and prodigious technique organically together.’
The programme is:
Tchikovsky’s The Seasons Op.37a:
March (Song of the Lark)/ May (White Nights)/ June (Barcarolle)/ September (The Hunt)/October (Autumn Song)
and Chopin’s Etudes:Etude in E Op. 10 No. 3
