"I say to myself: let's see what happens" -William Youn
Critics have called him “a true poet of the piano” whose “brilliant touch” allows him to explore the “spiritual depths” of the music he plays: William Youn is one of the finest pianists of our day and has established an international reputation, particularly for his Schubert recordings. His playing is characterized by subtlety, emotional insight, and sensitive analysis. William joins Living the Classical Life for a discussion about stage, concentration, expectations, and a balanced life based on acceptance.
