Info for Ludwig Van Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 21, Waldstein & Piano Sonata No. 29, Hammerklavier
Sunwook Kim came to international recognition when he won the prestigious Leeds International Piano Competition in 2006, aged just 18, becoming the competition’s youngest winner for 40 years, as well as its first Asian winner. He has established a reputation as one of the finest pianists of his generation, appearing as a concerto soloist in the subscription series of some of the world’s leading orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra, Concertgebouw Orchestra, Radio‐France Philharmonic, NHK Symphony, Hallé Orchestra, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (for his BBC Proms debut in Summer
2014) and many more. As a recitalist, Sunwook Kim is a regular guest at Salle Pleyel and Philharmonie in Paris, and has also made noted appearances at the Wigmore Hall, the London International Piano Series (Queen Elizabeth Hall), Teatro Colon Buenos Aires, Kioi Hall in Tokyo, Symphony Hall Osaka, Seoul Arts Centre, Brussels Klara Festival, Beethoven‐Haus Bonn, Klavier‐Festival Ruhr and Mecklenburg‐Vorpommern Festspiele.
Besides Leeds, international awards include the first prize at the 2004 Ettlingen Competition (Germany) and the 2005 Clara Haskil Competition (Switzerland). In 2013, Sunwook was selected by the Beethoven‐Haus Bonn to become the first beneficiary of its new Mentoring Programme, a status which grants him exclusive access to the house’s unique collections and resources.
“The Waldstein is…quite impressive, with its dazzling opening movement thrown off with apparent ease, the slow introduction to the finale admirably sustained, and the controversial blurred pedal effects of the concluding rondo itself intelligently handled” (BBC Music Magazine)
“[Sunwook Kim] has chosen two of Beethoven's big pyrotechnic showpieces; or at least this is the aspect his playing highlights. Textures are phenomenally clear throughout - the octave glissandos in the finale of the Waldstein, for instance, are despatched with consummate ease - and if anything in the Hammerklavier made Kim sweat, you wouldn't know it…hats off.” (Gramophone Magazine)

Kims internationale Karriere begann 2006, als er mit 18 Jahren den ersten Preis beim renommierten Internationalen Klavierwettbewerb von Leeds gewann – er war der jüngste Gewinner seit 40 Jahren sowie der erste aus Asien. Die beeindruckende Riege der Preisträger in der Geschichte des Wettbewerbs beinhaltet Namen wie Radu Lupu, Murray Perahia, Mitsuko Uchida, András Schiff und Lars Vogt.
Unter seinen Auftritten der letzten Jahre sind folgende Konzerte hervorzuheben: in Paris, in der renommierten Konzertreihe „Piano 4 Étoiles“ (in der Salle Pleyel und in der Philharmonie), in London in der Wigmore Hall und in der Queen Elizabeth Hall bei den International Piano Series, im Konserthuset in Stockholm, im Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, beim Klarafestival in Brüssel, im Beethoven-Haus Bonn, beim Klavier- Festival Ruhr, in der Kioi Hall in Tokio, in der Symphony Hall in Osaka sowie im Arts Center in Seoul. Als Solist ist Sunwook Kim Gast in den Abonnementskonzerten zahlreicher international renommierter Orchester, darunter das London Symphony Orchestra, das Concertgebouw Amsterdam, das NDR Sinfonieorchester, das NHK Symphony Orchestra in Tokio, das Hallé Orchestra in Manchester und das Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, mit dem er im Sommer 2014 bei den BBC Proms in London debütierte. Auf Einladung von Elena Bashkirova spielte Sunwook Kim Anfang September 2015 beim International Jerusalem Chamber Music Festival.
Neben dem ersten Preis in Leeds 2006 gewann er außerdem 2005 den Concours Clara Haskil sowie 2004 den Internationalen Wettbewerb in Ettlingen. 2013 bekam Sunwook Kim als erster junger Konzertpianist ein Residenz- und Arbeitsstipendium im Bonner Beethoven-Haus, und dadurch einen exklusiven Zutritt zum einzigartigen Archiv dieses ehrwürdigen Hauses. Seit 2008 lebt Sunwook Kim in London.
