Composing virtuoso pianists – Yeol Eum Son

South Korean pianist Yeol Eum Son is a grandmaster of the classical repertoire. But she also loves surprising concert programmes – in 2023 she made a deep impression in the Muziekgebouw with jazzy Ukrainian and Russian music. This time she will play works by six composers who were all celebrated master pianists in their time. A recipe for pianistic fireworks, with the complete Preludes op. 32 by keyboard lion Sergei Rachmaninov as the impressive finale.

Surprising music from celebrated master pianists

From Friedrich Gulda's swinging cycle Play piano play to Earl Wild's warm-blooded transcriptions of Disney's Snow White , Yeol Eum Son lets her audience tumble from one surprise to the next. Did you know that the great Alicia de Larrocha left behind a delightful Sonata antigua ? And that fin-de-siècle star Ignacy Jan Paderewski was also president of Poland in 1919? With her hyper-musical interpretations, Yeol Eum Son once again guarantees a dazzling concert.
