Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 3

2025Decca 4871023

Yunchan Lim’s electrifying interpretation of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 at the 2022 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition at the age of 18 is one of the most talked-about performances in recent classical music history. Lim, now 21, first gained international recognition with this very performance, which conductor Marin Alsop described as showing “an old soul, rather than a young performer.” Competition juror Anne-Marie McDermott shared, “About halfway through the first movement… we just knew: we’re experiencing something magical here.” Lim’s Van Clibunr performance has become the most-watched version of the concerto on YouTube, with over 17 million views. Following Yunchan Lim’s highly acclaimed debut album of Chopin Études, Decca Classics now releases a live recording of his Van Cliburn-winning performance with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Marin Alsop.
