Technique to Burn

Joo is not on the list.
Anthony Tommasini of The New York Times has written a feature article about how there are so many technically astonishing pianists in the world today. He puts forward an impressive list: Yuja Wang, Lang Lang, Yundi Li, Kirill Gerstein, Danil Trifanov, Nicolai Lugansky, Alexander Romanovsky, Piotr Anderszewsky, Richard Goode, Mitsuko Uchida, Andras Schiff, Garrick Ohlsson, Leif Ove Andsnes, Martha Argerich, Krystian Zimerman, Marc-André Hamelin, Evgenyi Kissin and Stephen Hough.

Tommasini also said that Jean-Yves Thibaudet is “probably” on the list – which leaves the unfortunate pianist in a state of limbo, neither included nor excluded. (Pull up your red socks, man, and get to work!)

Personally, I think the musical world would be better served by more pianists with truly distinctive musical personalities than with technique to burn.

Hyung-ki Joo seems to have plenty of both. See below for a distinctive and formidable technique!

I'm finding them for my sister. I'm trying to find the most recipes with pictures and the ages of baby for the recipes. Blogs are usually where I would expect to find them..

    Eatock Daily

    I'm a composer based in Toronto – and this is my classical music blog, Eatock Daily.

    When I first started blogging, Eatock Daily was a place to re-post the articles I wrote for Toronto’s Globe and Mail and National Post newspapers, the Houston Chronicle, the Kansas City Star and other publications.

    But now I have stepped back from professional music journalism, and I'm spending more time composing.

    These days, my blog posts are infrequent, and are mostly concerned with my own music. However, I do still occasionally post comments on musical topics, including works I've discovered, enjoyed, and wish to share with others.
