In 2022, Yunchan Lim became the youngest person to win the Gold Medal at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. As Jury Chair Marin Alsop expressed, “Yunchan is that rare artist who brings profound musicality and prodigious technique organically together.” The depth of his artistry and connection to listeners also secured him the Audience Award and Best Performance of a New Work. Lim’s astounding performance of Liszt’s complete Transcendental Etudes from the semifinal round of the competition is available on his Steinway & Sons debut album.
