Filmed in late May at the Seoul Arts Center, Yekwon Sunwoo returns to his home audience in a programme that juxtaposes Schubert and Liszt. The winner of the 2017 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition opens with one of the great pillars of the Romantic repertoire: Schubert’s Piano Sonata in A major, D. 959, its four movements unfolding from the poised opening to the inward world of the Andantino and the expansive final Rondo. After the interval, the focus shifts to the flair and theatricality of Liszt: the Rigoletto Paraphrase, Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 and the Mephisto Waltz No. 1 – virtuosic showpieces guaranteed to bring the house down. This video is part of Yekown Sunwoo's latest album of works by Liszt: https://yekwonsunwoo.lnk.to/liszt “Liszt is a poet of sound,” says Sunwoo. “He captures the essence of the human voice, while allowing it to reimagine it through the infinite possibilities of the piano.” For Sunwoo, placing Liszt at the centre of this album is a way of reconnecting his journey that shaped him as a pianist. In choosing Franz Liszt for his new album, Sunwoo turns his attention to the song and drama that lie beneath the surface of a composer often remembered for brilliance and virtuosity. Through Sunwoo’s performance, melodies breathe like the human voice, while Liszt’s sense of drama is brought vividly to life through a single piano.
