Liszt / Shin - Changyong Shin Plays Music CD

Passionate, inspired performances and brilliant technique are the hallmark of pianist ChangYong Shin. He brings those qualities to meditative yet virtuosic works by Beethoven, Liszt and Chopin. With performances in South Korea, Italy, France, the UK, and across the United States, and a growing reputation for compelling interpretations, Mr. Shin is developing an international career as a soloist and chamber musician. Mr. Shin released his debut album on the Steinway & Sons label in January 2018. Comprising works by Bach, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, the acclaimed album was listed as one of the "Best New Recordings of 2018" by WQXR. Shin began piano studies at the Yewon School in South Korea, then at the Korea National Institute for the Gifted in Arts. In 2011, he emigrated to the United States to study at the Curtis Institute of Music under Robert McDonald, where, as a recipient of a Paul G. Mechklin Scholarship, he received his Bachelor of Music in May 2016. In 2018, he earned a Master of Music degree from the Juilliard School, where he is currently enrolled in the Artist Diploma Program.
