Hai-Kyung Suh – Mozart Fantasia in D minor K397

Mozart Fantasia in D minor K397.

Hai-Kyung Suh is known for her rich, round tone, and singing voice-like phrasing, characteristics of the Romantic style of piano playing that was predominant in the Golden Age of pianism.

She studied with Nadia Reisenberg and Sascha Gorodnitzki, and won the top prize in the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition in 1980. Suh gave her US debut recital at Lincoln Center in 1985 as the winner of the William Petschek Prize, and was one of 25 world renowned pianists invited to perform at a Carnegie Hall gala concert commemorating Steinway & Sons’ 135th anniversary.

Although Suh is especially noted for her performances of the works of Russian Romantic composers such as Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, and Rachmaninov, her repertoire ranges from Mozart through Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Schumann, Brahms, to Debussy and Ravel, and contemporary composers such as Lowell Liebermann.

Suh has recorded the complete piano concerti of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov with Alexander Dmitriev and the Saint Petersburg Academic Symphony Orchestra, and four Mozart piano concerti with Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.
