Ji Yukyeong, piano

The young pianist Yukeong Ji already has an impressive career to her name. Yet, despite all the prizes she has won and the critical acclaim she has received, she remains firmly grounded. This is also evident from her GENUIN debut CD, featuring an extremely rare repertoire by Uzong Choe, Toru Takemitsu, Bertold Hummel, Maurice Ravel and Olivier Messiaen. We experience fascinating reflections in this music, which sheds new light on other works or traces extra-musical themes. Yukeong Ji plays with crystal-clear precision and sweeping phrases. She breathes life into this demanding repertoire, captivating the listener in the process. Extraordinary!
