Stanislas Emanuel Kim - Postscriptum - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Franz Schubert established the musical genre of the Moments Musicaux small, characteristic piano pieces that attempt to capture the moment or make it eternal. These qualities of the genre fascinate the Korean pianist Yeseul Kim. On her new GENUIN , she combines Schubert and Rachmaninoff together with the world premiere recording of the Moments Musicaux by the Seoul-based composer Uzong Choe. On this carefully curated album, the prizewinner of numerous music competitions presents herself as a subtle yet gripping pianist of stature-a true discovery!

Emocion is the debut of German-Chilean soprano Carolina Ullrich and Brazilian pianist Marcelo Amaral featuring works by Fernando J Obradors, Reynaldo Hahn, Richard Strauss and Francisco E. Braga. Carolina Ullrich is a winner of the 2008-09 YCA International Auditions in New York and the 2008 European YCA Auditions in Leipzig. She has appeared in numerous roles on the opera stage and pursues a busy schedule of song recitals and appearances with symphony orchestras throughout Europe.

Large industrial complexes, built of solid brick tell the story of industrialization of 19th century Leipzig. Where spinning wheels once rattled, chimneys smoked and thousands of workers carried out their daily work, new life has moved in over the past few years. Today, former factories are home to artists' studios, galleries and manufactories. The term Inchindustrial cultureInch is taken literally here. The Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig is one of these buildings that tell the story of time and was now the chosen location for a very special audio and video production the exceptional Korean pianist Sunwook Kim played Ludwig van Beethoven's last three Piano Sonatas op. 109-111 in an industrial setting framed by light projections that filled the brick hall. Beethoven's last three piano sonatas occupy a very special place within his oeuvre. Completely deaf by then, the composer puts three of his most intimate and personal works on paper, which at the same time radiate optimism and point musically into the future like hardly any other works.
