Info for César Franck: Prélude, Choral Et Fugue Fwv 21 - Johannes Brahms: Piano Sonata No. 3 in F Minor, Op. 5

Korean pianist Sunwook Kim came to international recognition when he won the prestigious “Leeds International Piano Competition” in 2006 aged just 18, becoming the competition’s youngest winner for 40 years, as well as its first Asian winner. Since then, he has established a reputation as one of the finest pianists of his generation, appearing as a concerto soloist in the subscription series of many of the world’s foremost orchestras and giving recitals in leading concert halls.

In this second Accentus Music recording Sunwook Kim compares and contrasts César Franck’s Prélude, Choral et Fugue of 1884 and Johannes Brahms’s Third Piano Sonata in F minor op. 5 of 1853. In spite of the manifest differences in their musical language, there are certain points that the Belgian composer shares with his younger German colleague: both men were pianists, both venerated the musical forms of the past, especially Bachian polyphony, and both revered the spirit of Classicism. To these qualities may be added a love of proportion and a genius for organization and well‐ordered architectural structures, which are also reflected by the works presented on this CD.

“Sunwook Kim brings some splendid pianism and conceptual thinking to both works: a full-toned touch and resonant atmosphere connects the Prelude, Choral et Fugue strongly to Franck’s organ works. The Brahms Sonata is likewise rugged, full and somewhat chunky, its introverted, deeply serious aspect much to the fore” (BBC Music Magazine)

“Kim's deep feelings for Franck are obvious in the breadth and emotional resonance he brings to the Prelude, Chorale and Fugue. The fluttering figurations of the Prelude speak with a delicate poignancy and the Fugue blossoms into that ecstatic exaltaton so characteristic of Franck…this may not be the last word in the Brahms F minor but there can be little doubt that Kim will be back to share with us his evolving love of this fantastically challenging music” (Gramophone Magazine)

Sunwook Kim
Kims internationale Karriere begann 2006, als er mit 18 Jahren den ersten Preis beim renommierten Internationalen Klavierwettbewerb von Leeds gewann – er war der jüngste Gewinner seit 40 Jahren sowie der erste aus Asien. Die beeindruckende Riege der Preisträger in der Geschichte des Wettbewerbs beinhaltet Namen wie Radu Lupu, Murray Perahia, Mitsuko Uchida, András Schiff und Lars Vogt.

Unter seinen Auftritten der letzten Jahre sind folgende Konzerte hervorzuheben: in Paris, in der renommierten Konzertreihe „Piano 4 Étoiles“ (in der Salle Pleyel und in der Philharmonie), in London in der Wigmore Hall und in der Queen Elizabeth Hall bei den International Piano Series, im Konserthuset in Stockholm, im Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, beim Klarafestival in Brüssel, im Beethoven-Haus Bonn, beim Klavier- Festival Ruhr, in der Kioi Hall in Tokio, in der Symphony Hall in Osaka sowie im Arts Center in Seoul. Als Solist ist Sunwook Kim Gast in den Abonnementskonzerten zahlreicher international renommierter Orchester, darunter das London Symphony Orchestra, das Concertgebouw Amsterdam, das NDR Sinfonieorchester, das NHK Symphony Orchestra in Tokio, das Hallé Orchestra in Manchester und das Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, mit dem er im Sommer 2014 bei den BBC Proms in London debütierte. Auf Einladung von Elena Bashkirova spielte Sunwook Kim Anfang September 2015 beim International Jerusalem Chamber Music Festival.

Neben dem ersten Preis in Leeds 2006 gewann er außerdem 2005 den Concours Clara Haskil sowie 2004 den Internationalen Wettbewerb in Ettlingen. 2013 bekam Sunwook Kim als erster junger Konzertpianist ein Residenz- und Arbeitsstipendium im Bonner Beethoven-Haus, und dadurch einen exklusiven Zutritt zum einzigartigen Archiv dieses ehrwürdigen Hauses. Seit 2008 lebt Sunwook Kim in London.
