About

In June 2022, Yunchan Lim became the youngest person ever to win gold at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition; his performances throughout showcased a “magical ability” and a “natural, instinctive quality” (La Scena) that astounded listeners around the world. As Jury Chair Marin Alsop expressed: “Yunchan is that rare artist who brings profound musicality and prodigious technique organically together.”?The depth of his artistry and connection to listeners also secured him the Audience Award and Best Performance of a New Work. Lim’s astounding performance of Liszt’s complete Transcendental Etudes from the semi-final round of the Van Cliburn Competition is available on his Steinway & Sons debut album.

Nov/Dec 2023

Lim rises to the occasion with some of his most satisfying playing and no hint of callowness. He has the invaluable gift of presence, which a star cannot do without. Lim has already distinguished himself in remarkable ways, so a boundless future seems to be in the offing.

This is certainly one of the finest and most compelling performances of the Transcendental Études I have ever heard.

The New York Times 31st August 2023

this Liszt performance, from the competition’s semifinal round, which can also be seen online, is stupefying...Yes, Lim is rough on his Steinway, and no, not every bar of every étude works out. But when he can play “Feux follets” like the devil, it’s hard really to care.
