"…her intellectual analysis and emotional engagement resulted in fresh, vigorous interpretations." - The New York Times

HJ Lim is a pianist of extraordinary imagination and vision; an artist who has won praise for refreshing and rediscovering the pinnacles of the piano repertoire, for the intellectual depths of her musical insight, and above all, as an artist who balances all of these talents with an undeniable flair and virtuosity. She created a sensation in the music world when, in 2010, she performed the complete Beethoven sonatas over eight consecutive days to sell-out performances in Paris. These extraordinary concerts were to be the catalyst to her ongoing success: when she recorded the complete cycle for EMI Classics the following year, she became not only the youngest interpreter to ever record these masterpieces, but the first and only classical pianist to debut at number one on the Billboard classical chart.
