Awards and reviews

October 2019

Beautifully played and well recorded, First and Last Words is a fascinating concept. Kim shapes the early Abegg Variations with finesse and golden tone, eschewing the hard edge of a Pollini for a more fantastical approach. ...the Aphorisms are fragmentary explorations of a musical space, a different musical world but one which Kim understands just as keenly.
