Momentary sketches, moments of eternity: The works that pianist Minsoo Hong has selected for his new GENUIN CD make up a compelling and diverse program and present a portrait of the composers on this recording. The young, upcoming musician, who has already won various international prizes – including the Busoni Piano Competition and the Franz Liszt Piano Competition in Utrecht – has recorded Franz Liszt's Deux légendes, Karol Szymanowski's Masques and Robert Schumann's Carnaval. On this album, he not only demonstrates his highly virtuosic pianistic skills but also offers the listener a poetic reflection on identity and facade, art and that which defines our lives!
