The young pianist Yukeong Ji has already had an impressive career. However, despite all the prizes and hymns of praise from the critics, she does not lose her footing. Her debut album, featuring extremely rare repertoire by Uzong Choe, Toru Takemitsu, Bertold Hummel, Maurice Ravel and Olivier Messiaen, proves this. We experience fascinating reflections in this music, which sheds new light on other works of music or traces non-musical contents. Yukeong Ji plays crystal clear and with broad phrases. She breathes life into sophisticated literature and captivates the listener. Exceptional! "Ji becomes a poet, letting the melody sing and shaping the sound into the very finest of pianissimos." (Virginie Borgeaud from the "Jeane Critique") "The audience could experience the essence of the music in the wake of her emotional style." (Martin Winrich Becker, Wolfenbutteler Zeitung)
