Since winning the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2022, every new step of Yunchan Lim’s career has been followed with great anticipation. Last week, he released his latest album, Tchaikovsky: The Seasons , and on the same day unveiled a video performance of the eleventh piece, “November (Troïka. Allegro moderato)”.
In his own words:
“The eleventh and twelfth pieces seek to calm the restless heart, moving forward without looking back at the path behind. The music has now ripened to perfection – never harsh and always graceful. The troika has already departed, and the man can only watch its riders fade into the distance. He prepares to say goodbye to all that is slowly drifting away. And yet a lingering regret remains, for there is no place for him next to the woman he loves. In the end, he bids farewell without hesitation, thus bringing The Seasons to its close.” – Yunchan Lim
