Chloe Jiyeong Mun at the British Institute of Florence
A musical feast of whispered secrets and ravishing beauty
Magnificent Schubertiade from Chloe Jiyeong Mun in the Harold Acton Library in the British Institute in Florence.
The eight Impromptus played with such rapt concentration and subtle ravishing beauty that you could have heard a pin drop such was the atmosphere created.
Winner, like Martha Argerich, of both Geneva and Busoni competitions when only a teenager. Just twenty four hours before the recital she was still working with Andras Schiff in Berlin extracting the secrets together that are hidden deep in the music and that only very few can find the key to.
A musical feast was guaranteed for this last recital of the season with three past winners of Busoni presented in collaboration with the Keyboard Trust.
An old Bechstein that she adored and gave her the means to transmit the magic world of Schubert with freedom and beauty.
Whispered secrets drew the audience in to her with the intimate confessions of a composer who was to have such a short life on this earth but who lives on forever in his seemingly endless outpouring of poetry and poignant beauty.
The magic carpet that had brought her to Florence at the last minute from Berlin was waiting to whisk her off to Korea during the night.
