Yeol Eum Son _piano

Described by the Guardian as ‘a noted musical omnivore’ and praised for her ‘superb artistry’ by Bachtrack, Yeol Eum Son probes rarely explored depths of expression in her poetic interpretations. Her latest Wigmore Hall recital offers a gem of a programme, crowned by the formidable technical, musical and spiritual demands of Beethoven’s ‘Hammerklavier’ Sonata, among the greatest of his late works. She begins deep in Romantic territory with Franz Bendel’s exquisite improvisatory variation on Brahms’s Lullaby and a charming mazurka by Pauline Viardot.
