Yunchan Lim piano
Already a prodigious success at various international competitions, the Korean pianist 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.’
PROGRAMME
John Dowland (1563-1626)
Pavana Lachrymae
(arranged by William Byrd)
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
15 Sinfonias BWV787-801
INTERVAL
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)
7 Bagatelles Op. 33
15 Variations and a Fugue on an Original Theme in E flat 'Eroica Variations' Op. 35
He is a genius who appears once every 100 years.
Agreed. We all are blessed to witness this once in a century genius.
Agreed. He just a genious. He just in the different level
Indeed.
What a raging sycophantic liar. His Liszt is questionable at best and built on the failures of many so-called pianists who are actually poor mediocres. His Chopin, the real test of virtuosity, etude No.2 and No.4 - now he uses all pedals for the No.2 and is not up to speed, while No.4 is a disaster in my standards.
You guys commenting are a bunch of sycophants who can't or don't play piano.
Yunchan Lim is now barely 20. But he has the musical soul of someone much older...and with decades more experience! When he performs it's like being transported to another world entirely...a world in which the music is everything!
South Korea, thank you for your humble, civilized, polite Yunchan Lim, pianist, winner. His beautiful behavior is a lesson for us Westerners. 🌷🌷🌷 (The Netherlands)
I return once more and must ask: "Have we just witnessed a verifiable MIRACLE in our midst?"
I am at a loss for words.
BRAVISIMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......................
Yunchan Lim is a rare pianist who plays the characteristics of each era from the Renaissance to the Romantic period
Absolument incroyable de maîtrise, de sculpture sonore, d'inventivité et de tant d'autres choses.... La perfection existe-t-elle ? On a tendance à y croire après ce concert.
Sheer genius.
He is God's gift to mankind.
He truly is.
This performance proves what his teacher Prof Sohn Minsoo said, ”If there’s anyone was born to do music, it would be Yunchan Lim“
that's why I edit and published also SOHN MINSOO performaces of Appassionata, Mazeppa and RAVEL LA VALSE piano duo version with Yunchan Lim ! It's important to listen the genesis, because music doesn't raise from "nothing" but is a tradition and hours of hard excercise and never stop! The goal is in the path not in a point! 🙇♂🙇♂🙇♂
I believe this is the performance that proved to some of the toughest and serious music reviewers - who had been wondering if the whole post major-competition noise was yet another hype - that Yunchan is the real deal. He won them over. How could he not…😊
Interpreting the music through the universe of his unique perception ! Truly an angel reaching through time and space NOW ±

ME TOO❤
So refreshing Bagatelles
Yunchan's left hand is a blessing.
So is his right hand
So is his brain
So is his hair
😂😍❤️
나는 엄청난 연습의 결과인 윤찬의 왼손 타건과, 영롱한 멜러디와 그의 레가토를 사랑합니다.
Beethoven biographer Edmund Morris reports that when Beethoven played in Prussia, he so stunned his listeners that "they crowded around his piano, weeping." I cried as I listened here to Yunchan Lim play Beethoven. I reiterate my awe from when he overwhelmed us with his Emperor: Dear Yunchan Lim, Thank you for such dedication to your art. Thank you for every hour you spend practicing alone. Thank you for bringing us this wonderful music in its most sublime glory. And please don't ever change.
As you told me the anecdote of Edmund Morris, I was able to better understand Yoonchan's interpretation of Beethoven's music. His music seems to have the magical power to deeply touch people's hearts. thank you. enough explanation
YES to ‘don’t ever change’.
peut-on vraiment faire confiance à cette biographie d'Edmund Morris? C'est un écrivain américain spécialisé dans l'histoire des présidents des Etats-Unis... Déjà dans la biographie de Manyard Solomon (américain également), on trouve quelques erreurs... Can we really trust this biography of Edmund Morris? He is an American writer specializing in the history of the presidents of the United States... Already in the biography of Manyard Solomon (also American), there are some errors/mistakes...
What would intellectual musicians like Leslie Howard, Stephen Hough, Nigel Simeone, Alan Walker (...) think of this?
what you wrote here is truly beautiful and thoughtful as well
This is absolutely the best recital. His brilliant talent is God's greatest gift to mankind. His performance is spectacular but very delicate, accurate, modest and sublime. Yunchan is the first artist who thought it was breathtakingly beautiful while listening to the piano. I hope he will be the happiest pianist. God bless you always.🙏❤️
この若さで、ここまで静謐で、流麗で、高貴で、耽美な演奏が出来るなんて…
あぁ、素晴らしい才能よ…
静かに飛翔する音の連なりよ…
今、この瞬間…世界は平穏なのですね…
あなたの存在のなんて輝かしいこと…
ただただ、あなたの存在に感謝です…
Google translation: At such a young age, I can't believe that he can play such a tranquil, flowing, noble, and aesthetically pleasing performance...
wow, what a great talent...
A series of quietly flying sounds...
Right now, at this moment... the world is at peace...
How glorious your existence is...
I just want to thank you for your existence...

God bless you.
Unselfishness, purity, and nobility. He reminds me of at some point a highest priest or defender in music if it exists.
L nO
If Beethoven had heard this concert, he would have kissed not only Yunchan’s forehead (as he did with Liszt), but also his hands and his heart. He goes right into my soul, whenever I hear him play anything. He is on his own class, not only at a higher, but at a deeper level. I can only praise God for giving him to all of us in this world.
☆You must be beautiful person♡
I can feel the sincerity in your words,like a confession of faith...
Couldn’t agree with you more!!!❤️🎹
Completely agree with this from my heart
Yes!!! We are all blessed with his celestial music. Hopefully his music could change the world more beautiful.
I agree with you. Every time I listen to him playing I have tears flowing and goosebumps.
His playing touches deep inside this old lady’s heart.
You are a blessing young man.
I went to see his performance at Wigmore Hall in person. I've never seen a pianist like him who creates this kind of piano music in my entire life. He's a pianist who shows everything beyond imagination.
I realized for the first time that the piano could produce this kind of sound, and that Bach and Beethoven were geniuses among geniuses.
WoW !!!!! Envy you !!
Oh my god the Bach..... beautiful... best since Gould.
What a sublime gift this young man is to all music lovers!
'좋아요'를 한 개만 누를 수밖에 없다는 사실이 슬프다.
하늘의 별만큼은 아니어도, 적어도 오늘 임윤찬이 연주한 음표의 숫자만큼은 누르고 싶다.
오 맞아맞아요 ㅋㅋㅋ 왕공감
좋아요가 한번 뿐이라니 ㅠ
👍👍👍👍
The most amazing thing is that his play sounds attractive even to the normal listener who are not aware of piano.
Agree~
Agree
이거에요
The "normal listener who are (sic) not aware of piano" are more likely to find recitals impressive, because they don't really understand what is going on, and assume is it excellent.
@@jacobschiller4486 what are you saying about? you intended to say it is not that much excellent?
His music is 'watching music'

이 친구 음악을 듣다보면...
가끔 숨 쉬는 것을 잊는다.
I've heard these a thousand times, yet for the first time today.
He’s the Generation Z’s answer to Evgeny Kissin!
Bravissimo!
Wow… great compliment ever.
Listening to this concert yet again, I wonder how many of us really recognise the clearly analytical thought, time, patience and attention to every detail that Yunchan has put into it, or seen that at eighteen he was already clearly a force to be reckoned with. It's a bit like an early history of piano and delivered brilliantly, every piece in it was a masterpiece. Thank you Yunchan and Wigmore
@catherinejones9396. You are absolutely right. It most certainly looks and sounds like he has given a great deal of thought to every single note and every interval and considered exactly how it should sound. He thinks every detail through and considers every detail of how it should sound. As they say it is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration but the results speak for themselves! I read some time ago that when he was interviewed by the critic Richard Morrison after one of his concerts he told him that on one occasion he spent an entire day working out how best to play 4 bars of a Schubert sonata! If that is how he approaches his work it is no wonder the results are so spectacular. I am excited that I will be attending his recital at the Royal Albert Hall in London next Monday where he will play all the Chopin etudes.
Thank you, dear Catherine!
@@Ariadne-cg4cq If you mean the BBC PROMS, doesn't Yunchan play in a concerto, not a recital?😯😯
@@user-dz1nr3ed2n At the Proms he will play Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto on the 29th of July with the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Paavo Jarvi. I already booked my ticket.
His Eroica made me cry for joy.
Truly, this young pianist is blessing for the humanity.
Right
Thanks to Yunchan Lim's performance, I came to understand Beethoven's humor properly.
So do I
can't agree more
Charles Rosen once told me that, as great as he was, Rudolph Serkin complete did not understand humor in Beethoven. As you point out Yunchan has clearly grasped and mastered this aspect of Beethoven
added high reliigiosity to classical music
weight of this young man is incredible
Yunchan Lim is, I'm pretty sure, the pianist of this generation. And maybe the generation before, too. I'm in my mid 40's, and I can't think of a single pianist who compares in my lifetime.
Just amazing.
Couldn’t agree more
I'm in my 80s and agree with you entirely.
he is paying very close attention and feeling the music very fully... I think he is in league with Martha Argerich and Murray Perehia and I hope his recording career flourishes as much or more than theirs
I do appreciate Yunchan Lim's (and Inmo Yang's) well-placed restraint and smooth warmth and lyricality in his playing
He is probably not the only pianist his age. I, for instance, am but 5 days older.

Please let us watch this marvelous concert forever.
Mr. Lim continues to demonstrate that even very young people can speak with artistic integrity and show us something new, even with music we know well. He gives me hope for the future of human beings.
❤
Yunchan's left hand is for punctuation and underlining. And it gives the effect of increasing the size of the first letter of the sentence.
Love your poetic metaphor!
I saw an angel😂😂 piano prince, lovely
The best no-coughing audience I ever heard!
It's really sad coz I could give you just one lke.

얼마전 프랑스 연주회 정말 기침소리 장난 아니었어요 어느 댓글에 병원에 위문공연인줄 착각했다고 우리 윤찬님 짠하고 방해받았을것같은 느낌 기침소리 너무 심해서
Thank God for giving your player to mankind!
TREASURE
his playing is nothing short of miraculous, and I do believe with all my heart that Liszt, Beethoven, Bach would all give standing ovations.
It is astonishing that such a young artist should have such a complete grasp of so many types of music, and should play them all with such depth of feeling as well as technical mastery. There has been no-one quite like him - long may he flourish.
Said it before..IMHO, the only comparison to Yunchan Lim is when Tiger Woods first debuted. Yunchan just dominates every performance, while the few but older naysayers complain about his lack of experience, or is too emotional, etc. Yunchan is a once in generation pianist and like what Tiger did for golf, Yunchan will attract more fond interest in the Classical music genre. Also, he's not the next Lang Lang or Danil or even Horowitz...he's Yunchan Lim.
Well said! 🎉🌹
Thanks God he's not another overrated Lang Lang!! 🙏🏼
Lang lang is complete clown you should not even dare to say is name next to danil trifonov or the great Horowitz
@@lazaroazar4761
Well said, well said.
I totally agree with you.
@@lazaroazar4761Lang Lang lost something along the way, or he never had anything... he plays like a lounge act in Vegas 🙄

Thank you S. Korea for the young man Yunchan Lim a wonderful pianist. 🌷🌷🌷 (Holland)
To borrow the words of an older master and Van Cliburn 2022 juror (Jean-Efflam Bavouzet)
"A young master at work. A young master at work."
Yunchan is deeply profound young soul and has nothing to do with old! He is the Genius!
Serious, very difficult but not showy repertoire. The result: spectacular.
Can’t agree more
I don't like Bach or Liszt, but after Yuchan's performance I've changed my mind 😭😭💕💕💕💕💕💕
Yunchan Lim is a phenomenon!!!
He played with all his soul.
임윤찬 피아니스트의 베르비에, 프롬스 데뷔를 축하합니다🎉🎉🎉
I can listen to Lim's piano all day.
Finally, renaissance music played on piano by a relevant concert pianist since Gould. Beautiful.
I agree. ❤❤❤
Totally!
4 minutes into the Byrd and I have tears in my eyes. This is stunning.
Yunchan Lim is ‘rare artist who brings profound musicality and prodigious technique organically together.’ Thank you all.
Marin Alsop ^^
There just aren't enough superlatives to describe the talent and genius we have before us today. Such beauty in an ugly and hateful world. Blessings from somewhere beyond on us all.
Did anyone notice how beautiful his hands are?
Yes I did notice. Everything about him is beautiful! 😊
We all know I guess as long as we have eyes to appreciate them. Actually what is not beautiful about him?
Absolutely we all already knew the sublime beauty of his hands. 😂
Small hands
Yes, and that's why he's so handsome too 😉
The audience must be the most blessed people in the new year.
Jesu, joy of man's desiring. It comforts me who had a hard time today and allows me to move on to tomorrow.
A concert program from a very musician.
Yunchan Lim can’t save my soul but he is “The Only” pianist who can cleanses and purify my soul.
Yuncham Lim, the future of the Music.
When I listen to his playing, I feel strangely that only he, his performance, and me exist in the world. It's quite unfamiliar because I've never experienced it when listening to other musicians' playing. It is a very special experience, intimate and moving.
Liszt is back 😍😍😍
i agree~~
William Byrd is my direct ancestor and Bach saved my soul once upon a troubled time. The young prince of classical piano, in my lounge, with their music, is the most wondrous and joyous thing. Climb every mountain, Lim Yunchan, you amazing young man, old soul.
I was moved by your comment.
true, young man, old soul :)
heart speaks to heart ~~~ very grateful to your sharing
Truly inspiring comment
Climb every mountain to give penetrating encouragement and consolation
Climb every mountain -my favorite song! Your comment is beautiful
OMG.. Im glad this video is still alive. 😭 Everyone was surprised.
A new maestro has born.. He is the pianist we been waiting for so long. Pure talent and not exaggerate playing. He is beyond langlang. He is beyond his peer. He just stunning
Absolutely beyond Lang Lang.. 100000% agreed!! I can't even bear to listen to Lang Lang due to his overbearing shallow showmanship
@@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094 to mention Lang Lang in the same breath is sacrilege. He is a piano playing shallow entertainer for the masses. Yunchan Lim is an artist of the highest calibre who interprets the sublime music of the great composers such as Bach and Beethoven to convey to us, the public, what they wanted to express and to make us feel their feelings. He is a true musician of the highest order. Long may he continue to flourish and to perform at such a truly high level of artistic excellence
Why compare? You can express your preference but don’t disparage the artistry of other artists… Lang Lang is fantastic in his own way. Listen to some not so “showy” stuff he plays. He does it so well. And no, I am not a chinese fan.
@@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094Yunchan is extraordinary but before saying those words about Lang Lang which is also a great pianist you should know the story behind him.
Yunchan is my favorite pianist and I can watch his playing all day! Let’s not disparaging other artists though. Each has own beauty.❤
His every note is the portal to a ‘spiritual’ journey, a truly staggering feat only the artists of the highest order can aspire to.
Great comments on this very special pianist who truly deserves all the accolades. He is touched by angels
연주의 훌륭함을 논하기 전에
청중을 집중하게 만드는 힘이
어마어마하다.
듣고 있으면
아니 보고 있으면
그의 연주는
손만이 아니라
온몸에서 뿜어져 나오는 것 같아
연주자만큼이나
청중도 초집중하게 되니
시간이 어떻게 가는지 모르게 된다.
그야말로 그가 이끄는
음악의 세계로 빠져드는 것이다.
클래식과 팝의 차이는 단 하나.
클래식은 긴 연주시간을 가진 음악이다.
참을 수 없을 만치 긴 ~ 시간을
참고 견딜 수 있게 해 주는
아니 잊게 해 주는
마법의 연주자만이
클래식의 세계로
청중을 인도할 수 있으니,
그런 연주자가 나타났다.
그의 이름은 임윤찬이다.
온몸에서 뿜어져 나온다는
말씀 공감해요
임은 앵콜곡이 임팩트해서 작년에 잊지 않으려고 애썼던 기억이..연주 끝나가는 게 예상되니까 아쉬워서 더 숨죽이고 듣게됨 이건 영상인데도 같은느낌 위그모어홀에서 들으신 분은 어땠을까
맞습니다.
그 자신을 온전히 음악에 푹 빠져있는데,
그러라고 하지 않았음에도
덩달아 청중도 그의 음악에 푹 같이 침참하게 되는 그 마력!
위대한 한국인!!!
깊이 공감 백배
Sound is clean, pure, beautiful and personality
Synfonia no. 5 best play ever!
Yunchan Lim is composer's assistant, friend n instrument! He's playing makes a sound of nature. I wish he could be live Yunchan Lim's own undestroyable world.
So impressive that someone so young plays with such a mature level of sensitivity.
He is an old soul!
Nous ne serons jamais assez reconnaissants à tous ces jeunes Prodiges d´avoir dompté et soumis leur jeunesse...aux disciplines ardues et barbares parfois, de la musique... pour satisfaire ainsi nos besoins intellectuels et affectifs en cette matière
Comment ont-ils pu préservé leurs dispositions d´origine... sous le coût que cela leur a demandé en s´exerçant aux disciplines de leur entrainement ?...
La rétribution de la seule Gloire en fin de compte ne doit leur sembler que bien artificiel au vu de tout de qu´ils ont du investir de leur humanité et personnalité pour être exact aux volontés des oeuvres des Maîtres leur répertoire. !...
Merci humblement Messieurs les Artistes et Musiciens prodiges.
Merci à la Korée du Sud de nous apporter une telle manne d´Artistes aussi beaux distingués
que talentueux.
Merci profond d´un mélomane âgé et ému.
A qui adresse t-il Yunchan Lim... au final de cette prestation... cette déclaration d´Amour..si profonde délicate réservée et recueillie ???
À la musique elle-même peut-être.
What i love abt this young pianist is his honesty and humbleness. He is totally focused .12 hours a day disciplined practice gave him the finest ear. His own teacher said his ears are unbelievable. If you listen 12 etude by F Liszt just amazing ( in order to understand composers intention He read all of F petrarca . He could memorise most of his verses.) so so amazing !!
@@hisukserjeant5204 Eh bien je ne savais que ce Jeune YUNCHAN avait mémorisé Petrarque.!.Un Asiatique mémorisant un Latin... c´est demander à un Latin de mémoriserdu Mandchou....Personne ne s´y frotte dans nos esprits contemporains. Si jeune ! Voilà qui fait réfléchir sur la Nature de ce Yunchan qui ne cesse de nous faire des plaies au coeur et fait triturer notre esprit....Bienvenue à ce messager d´un autre monde !
The second of the sinfonias has never sounded so lovely, he is a completely natural master of any music he plays.
Thank you Yunchan lim.. ❤
Superb playing....a rare artist who allows the essence of the music to bloom without unnecessary mannerisms or gimmickry. One is left with the feeling that this is simply how the music should sound. I am sure the grateful composers are somewhere smiling in happiness☺
Absolutely agreed!
Precisely and absolutely perfect performance by such a gifted young but brilliant pianist ever
His repect to Gould is real lol.
It's amazing a pinist with the best virtuosity in the era has also the highest spirit.
어떤 힘도 이만큼 사랑을 가진 힘은 드물것이다. 이 영상 내리지말아 주세요!!
"Music does not convey emotions, it conveys the essence of emotions, the empty vessels!"
That's why i like his music
I compose piano pieces, and your comment has made me think what exactly am I doing? Interesting.
What an insightful comment. Great!
I don't know why I keep crying while listening to his performance. I think Yunchan's music certainly has the power to tap quietly but firmly deep inside.He is a really good pianist👏
Damn, what a concert! I love that he said his life hasn't changed. It's all about the music for him. He's like a being from another world bringing beauty and joy to our troubled, strife-ridden world!
"All that matters is to make good music. Him and the piano in totally focused relationship" - I love this pianist!
A bright star in the future.
I think Yunchan's honesty makes his performance very special. When he plays, he does not hide his intentions and feelings. He plays with all his heart and sincerity as much as everyone can feel. He delivers the composer's message to the audience faithfully to the score, finds hidden notes and plays them so beautifully in his own way. It seems that the audience is immersed in the music and they are greatly impressed because he does not hide himself and approaches without embellishment.
So do I, IAW
So we’ll commented.
임윤찬 피아니스트가 특별한 이유는 철학을 품은 음악성이어서 입니다. 제가 영어를 못 해 아쉽습니다.
Вы правы!
Genuine mesmerizing young man
I watched it live and his playing just leaves me speechless every. time. I feel blessed to live in the same era as him. May God keep him healthy. (The very first piece he played I never heard before and i just keep going back to that one WOW)
Damn, now I think I really have to sit down and listen to his playing with all my attentions for long hours. He perfectly knows what's lying under the notes being played. I have never ever listened to any similar playing of "Jesu Joy of Mans' Desiring" like this. Even fear and omnipresence of eternal love are present together, being transformed onto another celestial level. Can't belive that he is only 18 years old.
14:37 my favorite Sinfonia, maybe I can learn to play it. The way he plays it touches my heart.
long live the king!
I've never had thought about living longer. But today I found the reason to do that, which is to enjoy his music more . Especially I hope that he would play Goldberg variations live before I die.
I just got tix for his Goldberg variations at Carnegie Hall next year!! I hope you can make it there too!
@@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094I hope to go too! but I cannot find any individual tickets….😢
To wax lyrical over the timeless beauty of it all would defeat the purpose of Music itself, which in the hands of Yunchan Lim realises itself as the voice of the sublime. How he serves the art that defines him, and with such a humble heart. Yunchan, God bless you!
Totally, well said !
@@takyeeaw2639 Blessings!
cheers
Can’t agree more. He in fact stated his intention to do just that in an interview he gave in Korea after he won the Van Cliburn.
@@liberty2308 I have seen a couple of interviews he has done, one in which he said a melody by Mozart caused his heart to shake! That was beautiful!
Can we please please keep this most beautiful video ……
The student as Master. What a stunning display of musicianship and depth of interpretation. I look forward to following his blossoming career, and am so thankful that he presented this program. We all know he "could" have presented the complete Transcendental Etudes by Liszt, but this was such an insightful and bold choice... I adore what it demonstrated in him as an artist.
Genius of a clear soul, the meaning of my life.
You are already the best pianist in the world to me. It is irreplaceable. Thank you Yunchan.
Out of this world.
Why am I crying…
Yunchan Lim….please record a vinyl album of your Cliburn competition pieces!
