Yunchan Lim - Tchaikovsky: The Seasons

Yunchan Lim — Tchaikovsky: The Seasons

"The beauty and mastery over the piano contains something almost unreal ... one would never have believed that The Seasons could produce such an effect on the audience." — Diapason

Pianist Yunchan Lim has taken the world by storm at the age of 21. He now presents Tchaikovsky's timeless and rarely recorded piano suite, The Seasons, his third release on Decca Classics. In just a few short years, Lim's technical flourish, deft control and unprecedented mastery has seen him amass an avid international following — this interpretation of The Seasons delivers on the young pianist's already formidable reputation.
