[K-CLASSIC] Lim Dong-hyek Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2, cosmic sound and ten-fingered magic (with Calliope Symphony Orchestra)

Lim Dong-hyek, who played Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2, is greeting the audience.

 

It's an ecstatic piece no matter who plays it, but Lim Dong-hyek is a different level.

Lim Dong-hyek is a pianist with 'expressions of masters'. In a different sense from the interpretation, his 'expression' differs from drawing only with lines. We can imagine a sense of color in his performance, even though it's just monochromatic lines.

When the color slowly begins to appear as if tea leaves are loosened in the hot water, the audience goes to "the other world."

On June 9, Lim Dong-hyek performed Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Kalliope Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jang Yun-sung.

In the cosmic sound of this work, Lim Dong-hyek took the helm firmly and steering the huge ship perfectly. Lim Dong-hyek's waterfall-like sound rose by tearing up the orchestra, and the delicate weak sound like rolling glass beads spread to every corner of the concert hall.

After wandering the fantasy under the spell created by his ten fingers, Lim Dong-hyek, who finished playing, was greeting the audience.

He looked pretty tired, but Lim Dong-hyek gave two encores. Scriabin Etude Op.8 No.12 and Bach's Corto Arioso.

The Calliope Symphony also played a pretty attractive sound. Surprisingly, the performance was the first official performance.

The orchestra also showed a slight deviation from Rachmaninov with Lim Dong-hyek, but the sound was revived in Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5. In particular, the soft woodwind part stood out. Sometimes I thought it was an "overplay," but the brass instruments clearly showed the appearance of a beast in the part where it should roar.

The encore song, Tchaikovsky Polonez, was played and the concert was marked with a "tap."

I felt like I had a windfall of 120% after expecting 70 percent.

It was a fun, healthy concert.
