When Yunchan Lim became the youngest ever winner of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2022 at the age of 18, he began a meteoric rise to worldwide fame. Now he presents his most personal and thought-provoking work to date - The Seasons - one of Tchaikovsky's most intimate piano works. Recorded live in England, Lim views the twelve pieces not just in the classical series of months - but as a story describing the last year of a person's life.

Each piece reflects a different moment or feeling, from sadness and quiet thoughts to joy, love and peace. The music begins with a man sitting by the fire thinking about the past and ends with a peaceful farewell.
In the 2023 to 2024 concert season, his live performances of the work received rave reviews from both critics and audiences.

"I have resolved to live my life only for the sake of music, and I have decided to give up everything for music... I want my music to become deeper, and if this desire reaches the audience, I will be happy," - says the young Korean - and proves it impressively on this album.

The album cover designed by Lim's good friend Ho-yeon Choi with the title “How Much Do the Petals Weigh?” reflects the feelings and questions that underlie the music.
