Info zu Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 15 & 6 Piano Pieces, Op. 118

Star conductor Myung-Whun Chung is a cultural ambassador of his home country South Korea and has dedicated himself for many years to promoting young Korean artists. Since pianist Sunwook Kim won the prestigious Leeds International Piano Competition in 2006 at the age of 18, he and Chung have enjoyed a close musical partnership. Sunwook Kim has received outstanding international reviews for his previous solo recordings of piano works by Beethoven, Brahms and Franck. The composer Johannes Brahms is very close to the pianist’s heart and it is no coincidence that his Piano Concerto No. 1 was at the heart of Kim’s Asia tour with the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden and its first guest conductor in the fall of 2019.

Sunwook also made his US orchestra debut with the Milwaukee Symphony orchestra and in Europe with the Orchestre National de Belgique and at the Bergen International Festival performing Unsuk Chin’s Piano Concerto with the Bergen Philharmonic conducted by Edward Gardner.

In 19/20 Sunwook will return to the USA for subscription debut concerts with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Kirill Karabits as well as touring Asia with the Staatskapelle Dresden conducted by Myung-Whun Chung.

Sunwook Kim’s debut recital disc was released on the Accentus label in October 2015, featuring Beethoven’s Waldstein and Hammerklavier sonatas. This was followed by a recording of Franck’s Prelude, choral et fugue paired with Brahms Sonata No.3 and a further disc of Beethoven; Sonata No. 8; Pathetique, Sonata No. 14; Moonlight and Sonata No. 23; Appassionata. His discography also includes two concerto recordings, both on Deutsche Grammophon and with the Seoul Philharmonic conducted by Myung-Whun Chung: a CD featuring Unsuk Chin’s Piano Concerto (2014) which attracted outstanding reviews and awards from BBC Music Magazine and International Classical Music Awards, and a CD featuring Beethoven Concerto No.5 (2013).

Born in Seoul in 1988, Sunwook completed an MA in conducting at the Royal Academy of Music and was subsequently made a fellow (FRAM) of the Royal Academy of Music in 2019. Besides Leeds, international awards include the first prize at the 2004 Ettlingen Competition (Germany) and the 2005 Clara Haskil Competition (Switzerland). In 2013, Sunwook was selected by the Beethoven-Haus Bonn to become the first beneficiary of its new Mentoring.
