Yunchan Lim: Chopin: Études Op 10 & Op 25 album review – prodigiously gifted young pianist confirms he’s something special
Thu, 02 May 2024 13:45:45 GMT
(Decca)
The South Korean musician’s first recording for Decca features thrilling and original performances
Very soon in 2022 after becoming the youngest ever winner of the Van Cliburn piano competition in Fort Worth, Texas at the age of 18, word got around that the South Korean Yunchan Lim was something special. His London debut at the Wigmore Hall the following year, in a programme that avoided the high romantic repertoire that had so impressed the Cliburn judges, confirmed that this was a prodigiously gifted, immensely exciting pianist, and one who still had room to mature and grow further as an artist.
Lim’s first disc for Decca more than reinforces those first impressions. These are thrilling performances of Chopin’s studies, the technique dazzlingly immaculate and the musical impulses propelling it often startlingly original. There are still moments when youthful impetuosity leads him to misjudge things or rush them just a bit too much, but those are few and far between, and it’s much better to enjoy the brilliance of Lim’s playing, whether in the breathtaking evenness of the A minor study Op 10 no 2, the sheer delicacy of Op 25 no 6 in G sharp minor, or in the fresh details he consistently reveals, especially in the left hand.

Pro-Israel groups target Republican House candidate they deem antisemitic
Thu, 02 May 2024 10:00:05 GMT
Former Indiana congressman John Hostettler wants his old seat back, but past remarks have prompted attacks from pro-Israel groups
Pro-Israel groups are wading into a Republican congressional primary, marking a departure from their recent focus on attacking progressive candidates and offering the latest test of the pro-Israel lobby’s strength as the war in Gaza weighs heavily on voters’ minds.
The former Indiana congressman John Hostettler, who served in the House from 1995 to 2007 and will compete in a crowded primary on Tuesday, is looking to return to the chamber to represent the state’s eighth district. Hostettler’s allies praise him as an “America first conservative” who will help terminate financial aid to Ukraine, so his primary will also test Republicans’ embrace of isolationism, which has gained popularity in the party amid the rise of Donald Trump. But Jewish groups have criticized some of his past comments about the start of the Iraq war as antisemitic.

‘Who wants to stare at a computer?’ Pop duo the Lemon Twigs on the joys of analogue life
Thu, 02 May 2024 14:11:32 GMT
As teenagers, the New York brothers swiftly rose to become retro pop darlings – until they weren’t. Now older, wiser and taking inspiration from the travails of their family, they’re making their best music yet
The Lemon Twigs are deep in one of the great songwriting grooves of the 21st century. Or is it the previous century? Their new album, A Dream is All We Know, is a fabulous pop confection that magically transports the listener to the idyll of Abbey Road studios in 1966, if the Beatles were actually two brothers in their mid-20s from Long Island, New York. However, Brian and Michael D’Addario are reluctant to write off their music as nostalgic escapism.
“Yes, we record on analogue tape, and we don’t think being on phones all day is a good way to live our lives,” sighs Michael at their Brooklyn studio. “But it’s not like we’re rejecting ‘contemporary life’. And I don’t know what we’re really excluding from our lives by not using social media or recording on Pro Tools, anyway. Who wants to stare at a computer when they’re doing something that’s supposed to be fun?”
