Cellist Hee-Young Lim's newest from Sony Classical and the London Symphony Orchestra adds to her growing list of impressive collaborations.
Praised by the Washington Post as “a deeply gifted musician, with a full, singing tone, near- flawless technique and a natural lyricism that infused nearly every note she played,” Lim was also recently appointed as the Principal Solo Cellist of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra under Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
In addition to her recording and live performance credentials, Hee-Young has also been a featured guest artist with a long list of broadcasters including Korean Radio, Radio Polski, WETA/Washington DC, WFMT/Chicago, KUHF/Houston, and more.
French Cello Concertos is the name of Lim's most recent recording. It's just that - and more. Lim explores two of the great cello standards by Camille Saint-Saens and Eduard Lalo, plus the lesser-known but delightful jazz-flavored concerto by Darius Milhaud.
Works by Jules Massenet and Jacques Offenbach round out the disc. We'll feature French Cello Concertos throughout February on WKAR.
