The Korean pianist Su Yeon Kim achieved international acclaim when she won the first prize at the Concours musical international de Montréal 2021 and the second prize at the International Mozart Competition 2020 in Salzburg. For her debut album on the Steinway & Sons label Su Yeon Kim displays her passion and gift for performing the music of Mozart with some of his most beloved piano works as well as a few rarities.Where to begin with the wonders of this album by the young pianist Su Yeon Kim, making her debut on the Steinway & Sons label? She should fit right in there, mixing charisma with the bold pianistic approach the label favors. Kim manages to dredge up some Mozart works that are genuinely unfamiliar, make good cases for them, and execute them brilliantly. Consider the Variations on “Unser dummer Pöbel meint,” K. 455, where Mozart builds some of the most virtuosic music he ever wrote onto an almost absurdly clumsy theme. Kim’s reading is absolutely clean, and she catches the spontaneity and humor Mozart’s pianism must have had in its own day. Equally obscure are the four excerpts from the 12 Contredanses for Count Czernin, K. 269b, which also have a variation aspect; they are multistrain dances unlike anything else Mozart wrote (except for his other contradances), and Kim again sees how Mozart could bring original thinking even to music in such a small form. The two piano sonatas that form the centerpieces of the program are full of structural insights; Kim has a precise touch that does not lose warmth. Most of the music is lighthearted, which makes the grim Adagio in B minor, K. 540, all the more moving. There are many more attractions here for listeners to discover, among them Steinway’s clear sound from the Sono Luminus studios, in one of the finest Mozart recitals to come along in some time. May there be more from where this one came. – James Manheim
