About
At the beginning of his Mozart cycle with Oehms Classics and the Bavarian Broadcasting Company, William Youn stated in an interview: 'I would like to play a Mozart that can be sensed and felt. After all, many say that Mozart always sounds the same, but I don’t feel that way. I would like to show how differentiated and exciting Mozart can describe the most varied emotions and colours of people –through music'. When one has heard all 5 CDs, there is actually nothing more to add to that. His plan has been wonderfully realised.

January 2018
An irresistible account of the Sonata in D, K284 opens this exceptionally engaging and warmly recorded Mozart recital. Korean pianist William Youn, performing on a modern instrument, brings a sparkling array of colours to the quasi-orchestral textures of the opening Allegro…The rest of the work is equally enthralling.
September 2017
Here we have playing that is absolutely at the service of the composer yet also full of personality...Youn’s reading of the Fantasy is one of the highlights here: he is fully alive to the importance of the silences within it, while also letting the music build and billow without ever lapsing into melodrama...This is beguiling Mozart-playing – innate, intelligent, honest and fiercely musical.
August 2017
This last issue in Youn’s survey of the complete Mozart sonatas puts the seal on a highly desirable set in exemplary sound.
