Yunchan Lim piano - Live at Wigmore Hall 

He is a genius who appears once every 100 years.

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.

I return once more and must ask: "Have we just witnessed a verifiable MIRACLE in our midst?" I am at a loss for words.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Today news: 🎉🎉🎉 Pianist Yunchan Lim’s recital is one of the most viewed Wigmore Hall livestreams to date;❤ at his request ❤ we’ve made his recital available again online for free so our audience can relive the memory of this incredibly special concert.

Unselfishness, purity, and nobility. He reminds me of at some point a highest priest or defender in music if it exists.

Serious, very difficult but not showy repertoire. The result: spectacular.

Yunchan Lim is a rare pianist who plays the characteristics of each era from the Renaissance to the Romantic period

The most amazing thing is that his play sounds attractive even to the normal listener who are not aware of piano.

I was lucky enough to attend this concert in person. Having listened to classical music pretty much my entire life, I have never listened to anyone play music that touched my soul so deeply, and this includes the masters of the past. During the performance I was completely at the mercy of his music, my heart felt so full and I had tears in my eyes. To this day I still can’t put my finger on exactly what makes me feel this way, only that whenever I listen to him I know that I’m beholding the art of a true genius and gift to this world. He is on a completely different level and his music transcends space and time. Luckily bumped into Yunchan and team after the concert, aside from this god given talent, he is also one of the most modest, kind, selfless and bashful people I have ever met!

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.

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?

His Eroica made me cry for joy. Truly, this young pianist is blessing for the humanity.

He is God's gift to mankind.

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.

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

Yunchan's left hand is a blessing.

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.

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☺

This performance proves what his teacher Prof Sohn Minsoo said, ”If there’s anyone was born to do music, it would be Yunchan Lim“

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.🙏❤️

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!

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.

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."

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!

Yunchan is deeply profound young soul and has nothing to do with old! He is the Genius!

I was lucky enough to witness this performance at the venue and his focus was palpable in the air! And of course I didn't know Yunchan had that convo with Michael White about Bagatelles until I watched this video. I have to vouch for him that many in the audience including myself had to let out a sigh of awe and really laughed a little after each one because they were so exquisite and charming. He says nothing has changed really after winning the competition but he's changing the classical world. Bravo maestro!

Those hands are double orchestras--dual operatic productions even. He has such precise dynamic control of each note and a well-developed sense of pacing. The contrast he brings out between the two hands and even in a single phrase in one hand keeps the music fresh, intriguing, and extremely compelling. His fortes are loud, but not overwhelming. His pianos are soft and delicate and his mezzo pianos and mezzo fortes are very well placed and clear as crystal. His choices of passagework with and without pedal, with staccato or legato, with crescendo, diminuendo, or at a steady volume are also all highly refreshing and mesmerizingly beautiful. All the aesthetic nuances were most tasteful, most artfully done, and such a pleasure for me to listen to. He creates such a unique audio landscape with each piece. What wonderful storytelling! Added to that, he is neither showy nor bombastic and lets the music be the centerpiece of your attention--what excellent playing. Sometimes I wish I could've heard some of the greats play--Chopin, Liszt, Schumann (Clara), Alkan, Mendelssohn (Felix and Fanny), Cramer, Field, etc. Today, I am a little less envious of those who could. For in our generation, a true virtuoso has arrived, and his name is Yunchan Lim.

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!

BRAVISIMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......................

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.

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)

his playing is nothing short of miraculous, and I do believe with all my heart that Liszt, Beethoven, Bach would all give standing ovations.

Sheer genius.

Finally, renaissance music played on piano by a relevant concert pianist since Gould. Beautiful.

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.

He played with all his soul.

Interpreting the music through the universe of his unique perception ! Truly an angel reaching through time and space NOW ±

Yunchan Lim is ‘rare artist who brings profound musicality and prodigious technique organically together.’ Thank you all.

So impressive that someone so young plays with such a mature level of sensitivity.

Thanks to Yunchan Lim's performance, I came to understand Beethoven's humor properly.

"Hats off, here is a genius!!" Yunchan is only 18 but plays like a 70 year old master pianist. He may have the potential to surpass virtuoso Uchida , who won second prize in Chopin competition in 1970. Hope that he does better than Ivo Pogorelich and Sultanov. He may soon be inducted to be one of the great pianists in the 21st century. Thank you so much Yunchan and Wigmore Hall. He may be a legendary artist in the making. Thank God.

Lim played all with absolutely unique, beautiful, creative, never-seen, touching, and truly musical interpretation!!! Furthermore, he played every of all notes with absolute sensitivities!!! He is not only a genius but a truthful musician we have seen recently!!!

Wow, nobody plays the Bach Sinfonias in concert, maybe not even Andras Schiff. Great program overall. It's refreshing to see a young talented pianist who is brave enough to go off the beaten path and finds his way around comfortably!

His repect to Gould is real lol. It's amazing a pinist with the best virtuosity in the era has also the highest spirit.

added high reliigiosity to classical music

What a sublime gift this young man is to all music lovers!

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👏

Oh my god the Bach..... beautiful... best since Gould.

I've heard these a thousand times, yet for the first time today.

Incredible voicing dynamics and phrasing considering the Byrd piece was probably written for harpsichord. His Bach is equally exquisite. This young musician is an invaluable gift to human civilization.

Just wonderful. As so many here have already eloquently and passionately described his pianistic mastery, I would just like to mention how impressed I am with Yunchan Lim's thoughtful choice of repertoire. These pieces are rarely performed in concert and are probably considered to be more suitable for students by many. But here, they are raised to the highest level in a way only a select few musicians could achieve. It demonstrates that a great pianist does not need the big warhorses to shine. And, in a humbling way, it shows that he knows his place, he knows that there is still room and time to grow.

Until today, I was not able to think of any better pianism than the Yunchan's performance in Van Cliburn by anybody even by himself. But wait... what's happening here? I can say that this is another legendary record of piano music. For sure.

Yuncham Lim, the future of the Music.

TREASURE

I don't like Bach or Liszt, but after Yuchan's performance I've changed my mind 😭😭💕💕💕💕💕💕

He never sounds just small or big rather his notes have their own texture color weight and I love it

4 minutes into the Byrd and I have tears in my eyes. This is stunning.

"Music does not convey emotions, it conveys the essence of emotions, the empty vessels!" That's why i like his music

The best no-coughing audience I ever heard!

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.

A promising young musician! seems modest and polite too, a quality which is going to help him in his career.

He is an incredible craftsman of sound.

I just bought my ticket for Yunchan's Carnegie Hall debut next February. I can hardly wait!!! Something marvelous to look forward to. I believe he is the greatest pianist of our time. There is something very soulful and driven about his playing. It's almost indescribable. Yet, I feel like we're witnessing a legend in the making.

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.

His every note is the portal to a ‘spiritual’ journey, a truly staggering feat only the artists of the highest order can aspire to.

4:16 1:43:33. 13:33 47:41 1:38:41 It is so extremely beautiful that there are no words to describe it. I learned that music can comfort and heal the wounds of the soul. I express my deep gratitude to Yunchan Lim and Wigmore Hall for giving me this new universe.

He’s the Generation Z’s answer to Evgeny Kissin! Bravissimo!

'좋아요'를 한 개만 누를 수밖에 없다는 사실이 슬프다. 하늘의 별만큼은 아니어도, 적어도 오늘 임윤찬이 연주한 음표의 숫자만큼은 누르고 싶다.

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.

So refreshing Bagatelles

Is not like I can name all the great pianists of the last decade. I don't have much of a point of reference but as a piano student let me tell you, I have fallen for Bach with this man better than with any of my teachers. I think I get it know. Thanks Yunchan

Over the many years I have listened to many pianists, Yungchan is the very best. His playing has me at the edge of my seat, he brings me in the moment where he is. His soul is playing and my soul is deeply touched. Music in its purest form, elevated, almost astral. He is truly a genius and adds a joy to my life. Thank you Yungchan, from the bottom of my heart.

This repertoire is perfect for Yunchan's humble and honest self-introduction: “I am a student who plays the piano.”

For those who need the transcript of Michael White, the recital host.. Welcome to Wigmore Hall, where you join me Michael White and a sold out audience for what we're all hoping will be a revelatory experience, the UK debut of Korean pianist Yun Chan Lim, who sensationally won last year's Van Cliburn competition, netting what I think is the biggest prize on the keyboard Circuit of a hundred thousand dollars and aged just 18, which makes him the youngest winner in the competition's history. He’s still just 18 though with more experience behind him since he spent the past months on a world tour that comes as part of his prize, fitting recitals like this one at the Wigmore around ongoing studies in Korea. And it starts with an interesting example of cultural outreach for a young Korean, a 17th century Pavana by English Renaissance composer William Byrd. It’s a timely choice because this year is a major anniversary for Byrd, four centuries since his death in 1623. And we have to make the most of Bird's death because there's no definite date for his birth. We can only guess that it was around 1450 (1550). He wrote a lot of keyboard music, much of it in the form of Pavana which were originally a stately dance in duple time. The Pavana we're going to hear is based on a tune by Byrd's younger contemporary John Dowland, his iconic Lachrymae, which started life as a lute solo, then became a song 'Flow My Tears' and was then adapted into other versions as it got more famous. Byrd's version is regarded as one of the best largely because it exploits the spaciousness of Dowland's music to enhance the tune with exquisite elaborations of a kind that early music Scholars spend their lives pouring over. Well, what Yunchan Lim makes of them we're about to find out as he opens this recital with Byrd's Pavana on a lute song of Lachrymae by John Dowland. It's worth saying that when I asked why he wanted to play this piece, his answer was that he thinks Byrd is the greatest of all British composers. William Byrd's tribute to his younger contemporary John Dowland, Pavana on Lachrymae played there by the young but brilliant winner of last year's Van Cliburn competition, Yunchan Lim. And when I said just now that Byrd was probably born in 1450, I'm afraid I meant 1550. Numbers never were my strong points. Either way, plenty of technical imagination went into that music and how you acquire technique was an abiding concern of Johann Sebastian Bach, who wrote several collections of pieces as learning exercises, albeit of an elevated kind. Around 1720 he put together a büchlein, a little book for his ten-year-old son, Wilhelm Friedman. Nothing but exercises in it and it included a set of pieces in two-part counterpoints pretty easy and three-part counterpoints not so easy. Then Bach later developed for other students. He called the two-parters Inventions. He called the three-parters Sinfonias. And there were 15 of each covering all the keys that you could comfortably play at that time, which was before equal temperament opened up the tuning system and gave you 24. Tonight issuing easy options, Yunchan Lim is going to play the 15 Sinfonias, the three parts. What you'll hear is that Counterpoint of that density edges them toward the sound world of a Fugue. In fact, these pieces step toward Bach's ultimate book of elevated exercises, the ‘Well-Tempered Clavier,’ which came later in the composer's chronology when equal temperament was taking hold. Here to demonstrate how this works is a pianist who may be playing on the world stage but is still pursuing studies back home in Korea, Yunchan Lim. Yunchan Lim there proving himself a conspicuously better than average students in the learning exercises, the Bach’s 15 Sinfonias. I'm not sure I'd have wanted to be taught by Bach, he can only have been a formidable mentor. You get a sense of that in the way he described the Sinfonias, its examples of forthright instruction to obtain not only good ideas and execute them well but to achieve a Cantabile style of playing and thereby acquire a strong fortes of composition. It is Germanic education for you. Well, I don't know what J.S. Bach would think of Yunchan's Cantabile style there, but it sounded exemplary to me. The rest of Yunchan Lim's recital is given over to Beethoven and the main item is a familiar piece with a perhaps misleading name officially known as set of 15 variations on an original theme Eroica Opus 35. Now that's fine except there are more than 15 variations. The theme isn't totally original and you can only call it Eroica with hindsight. To unpack all that, Beethoven was drawn to sets of variations throughout his life, especially variations on a theme that he called his own, but it actually owed a lot to another composer, (Muzio) Clementi. Beethoven first used this theme in dance music for a Viennese ball. Then he used it again for a ballet score, Creatures of Prometheus and he used it a third time in the set of variations we're about to hear. Then he used it a fourth time a year later in his Symphony Number Three, the Eroica, which is where the name stuck and got applied to Opus 35 variations retrospectively. As for the number of variations in Opus 35, the confusion is largely down to an unusual opening. You don't get the theme up front. You get a crashing E flat chord and then the skeletal bass line of the theme followed by some variations. Only then do you get the theme in all its glory and 15 variants. and after that there's a bonus, a Fugue with yet more variants. It all amounts to half an hour of music with more than you were promised, the rare thing in this day and age. But before he plays the Eroica, Yunchan is starting with a set of Beethoven Bagatelles. That also offers more than the name promises. Bagatelles are Trifles, throw away things and Beethoven was much drawn to that word as a title for piano pieces. He produced several sets of Trifles in his lifetime including the one we're about to hear. It was published at his Opus 33 in 1803 and it included material dating back two decades to when Beethoven was a teenager, amounting to an essentially rather random collection, compiled from jottings filed away in a bottom drawer. But that's what makes it interesting. It's possible to hear these Trifles as working notebooks where Beethoven salvages ideas that never made it into his larger scores, turning them into something. And the way Beethoven turned scraps of ideas into something is always fascinating. There are seven pieces in the set and here to play the Opus 33 Bagatelle followed by the Eroica Variations is Yunchan Lim. Beethoven's Variations Opus 35 on a supposedly original theme Eroica played there with, I don't know, cinemascopic panache by Yunchan Lim and prefaced by the throwaway Genius of Beethoven's Opus 33 Bagatelles. As I said in those Bagatelles you get a sense of scraps of ideas being worked into something of value before your ears and eyes. But you get something comfortable on grander terms in the Eroica Variations, which conjure up a whole universe of ideas and emotions, not least humor. It can be hard to track the humor in Beethoven, you might wonder if it's really there. But most pianists insist that it is and Yunchan Lim is one of them. I asked him earlier if you could really expect an audience to laugh out loud. Other things Beethoven does in the piece and he said to me I will try to make them. Well, the audience here are laughing now. Clearly absolutely delighted to get the chance to hear this incredible young player in the flesh. And there'll be even more plea if they get an encore. Well, he's keeping them waiting. It has to come now; half the audience are on their feet. There's a sense of demand in the air. First of all there’s a slightly oblique route, a transcription of Bach’s Cantata BWB 147, better known as ‘Jesus, Joy of Man's Desiring’ and a transcription of course made famous by Dame Myra Hess in her wartime concerts. I wasn't sure many Koreans would know about Myra Hess but Yunchan certainly does and he told me that anybody who plays the piano would share his admiration with her recordings. It's worth saying that there's an awful lot of Yunchan’s fellow countrymen and women here in the audience. He’s perhaps become a big name in Korea, evidently a challenge to K-pop. The third of Liszt’ Liebesträume, pieces that reflect on different kinds of love, that was number three based on a poem about mature-considered emotion that tells the reader ‘love as long as you can.’ The question now is whether Yunchan Lim has played as long as he can for one night. Well, the answer to that question is yes. That's the end of this recital given in the course of a world tour that's part of Yunchan Lim's prize for winning last year's Van Cliburn competition aged just 18. I asked him earlier how his life had changed since he won the competition and he told me very calmly no change at all. it may be that he's now playing to audiences around the world but he said all that matters is to make good music, him and the piano in totally focused relationship. That said he clearly has a major International career ahead. Next stop on his victory tour is Italy and it's been great to witness the early stages of it all here at the Wigmore Hall tonight captured on this live stream. But please remember Wigmore live streams come without charge but at a cost to make so we do ask you to consider a donation..

현존하는피아니스트 중에 가장 사랑함

This musician is on a star track upward. Evidence A: the live performance was being watched by 4,500 viewers-a number equal to 10 percent of Wigmore’s subscriber base. On a weekday. B: Four hours later this video is up to 26,000 views. Think Maestro Van Cliburn would approve. 🎉

"He is MUSIC incarnate"

This young pianist is so incredibly talented, not only can you hear the words just from his playing but you can feel them and the emotion that he puts into every key stroke. beautiful. 👏

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.

weight of this young man is incredible

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.

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

A once in a generation virtuoso, whose musicianship, technique, sound, and maturity are unparalleled. He doesn't have to throw in unnecessary gimmicks and histrionics. Not a stereotypical Korean pianist. Cannot wait to see him live.

Lim drew the light of Music from original score with only the clarity and the very accuracy. I’m moved by the subtle and distinct vibe from his finger tips. So lovely.

Sound is clean, pure, beautiful and personality

Yunchan's "Lievestraum" performance contains passion for love, and at the same time, it perfectly expresses regret and recollection of the unfulfilled love. So this performance made me doubt whether the feelings of love I knew were real, and at the same time, it made a big impression. Yunchan is the blessing of heaven.

Brilliant performance, with those crystal clear notes. I always get the feeling Yunchan Lim elevated whoever was in the room with him. Experiences that ranged from the sublime to the passionate... I am witnessing an artist who is devoted to music. This is why I'm interested in this young pianist.

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…

OMG? Why is it that every time I listen to Yun-Chan I cry? Thank you young man. Where does he get this stunning depth? Speechless!

After listening a little more to Yunchan Lim I have to say he already now is a brilliant pianist. The world is open for his genious.

It happened to me again. I can't stop repeating his play just as his Rach No3 last June. So beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful. .

What I most love about his piano is he makes every piece as Living being, it feels like the music becomes ALIVE, MOVING and I can feel the spirit in it who created the piece

Franz Liszt No3, love dream, is one of my favourite piece and this is the variation I have never heard. However, I really love it and just the beauty behind key control is amazing!

The best performance in Wigmore was Beethoven's Bagatelles. I've also heard the Bagatelles Yunchan lim play before, but this time was much better. The song was more lively, the points he wanted to convey in the score were well felt, and most of all, it was so beautiful. I support his unceasing growth.

Yunchan Lim - Phenomenal and Unrivaled

He plays the great music as a true maestro that he is with 18 year old sensibility. One of many reasons why his playing is utterly mesmerizing.
