Review: YUNCHAN LIM STUNS WITH GOLDBERG VARIATIONS at Carnegie Hall
by Peter Danish - May 2, 2025
Yunchan Lim’s performance of Bach’s Goldberg Variations at Carnegie Hall was a masterclass in both technique and emotional depth, showcasing his extraordinary maturity and artistry for such a young performer. From the moment he began, it was clear that Lim was not just playing the piece; he was telling a story. Through his interpretation, he transformed the Goldberg Variations from a set of intricate variations into a profound narrative of a man’s life, from youth to old age.
