Frederic Chopin

Chopin: Etudes

£37.99

Released: 7th June 2024. Yunchan Lim is the one of the most talked-about classical artists on the planet. In 2024 he presented his debut studio album on Decca Classics - the 'Chopin Etudes, Op.10 & Op.25'. Yunchan Lim became the youngest ever winner of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2022, aged only 18; his performance of Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 moved his conductor 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 'Op. 10' and 'Op. 25 Etudes', Lim is putting himself in a direct line with some of the greatest pianists of the past. Lim says 'a huge universe of pianists played this repertoire, and I have always wanted to become a fundamental musician like them, so I decided to follow their route'. He has grown up listening to great pianists recording this music, including some of his favourites - Alfred Cortot, Ignaz Friedman, Jo'.
