Jae Hong Park in Florence & Milan
The poetic sensibility and virtuosity of a great musician
A standing ovation for the 2021 Busoni Winner in the Harold Acton Library in Florence with a ‘Bouquet of Flowers ‘ from Scriabin with his 24 Preludes op 11 and the Canons covered in Flowers of Rachmaninov with his elusive First Sonata op.1 . The last in the present series of Busoni winners presented by the Keyboard Trust going British in Florence.
A quite extraordinary ‘tour de force’ of poetic sensibility and virtuosity but above all intelligence from the refined palette of a deeply dedicated musician.Jae Hong had swept the board in Bolzano with a ‘Hammerklavier’ that will go down in the history of the competition.
