Praised by The New York Times for “a propulsive and exciting performance, built block by block with the structural command of a musical architect,” pianist Hai-Kyung Suh returns to New York with In Love, a recital marking the 55th anniversary of her orchestral debut.
The first Asian pianist to win the top prize at the Busoni International Piano Competition and a laureate of Munich’s ARD International Music Competition, Suh has appeared with the Philadelphia Orchestra, London Philharmonic, and Moscow Philharmonic, working with renowned conductors including Riccardo Muti, Charles Dutoit, and Myung-Whun Chung. She has also recorded the complete piano concertos of Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky for Deutsche Grammophon.
Bound by a single theme, the program unfolds as one story in four chapters: love lost, in Gluck’s Melodie from Orfeo; love unspoken, in Brahms; love newly born, in the world premiere of Valse by Korean composer Jeajoon Ryu, written in Suh’s musical language for this anniversary; and love made poetry, in Liszt, closing in the festive light of Rhapsodie espagnole.
