The performance that launched Yunchan Lim's career, reaching over 16 million views on YouTube and making him a global star overnight.
 
In June 2022, Yunchan Lim became the youngest gold medal winner of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition; his performances demonstrated a “magical ability” and a “natural, instinctive quality” (La Scena) that astonished listeners around the world. The jury chairman Marin Alsop commented as follows: “Yunchan is the rare artist who organically combines deep musicality and amazing technique.” 
 
His artistic ability and connection with the audience also secured him the Audience Award and the prize for the best performance of a new work. The young Korean's subsequent rise to international fame has been meteoric.
 
Now, just in time for this year's Van Cliburn Competition, Decca Classics is releasing Lim's phenomenal, critically and fan-acclaimed performance of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No.3 for the first time physically and in Dolby Atmos, with additional liner notes by Jed Distler and a special text by jury chairman Marin Alsop.
