Pianist Yung Wook Yoo, who in 1998 won the Grand
Prize and Gold Medal of the XIII Paloma O’Shea
Santander International Piano Competition, has
embarked on a concert career that now takes him
around the world. For a recent solo recital in
Kennedy  Center’s
Terrace Theater, Washington Post reviewer Ronald
Broun wrote; "Yoo has a big technique that
lets his imagination roam free…" Of
his New York debut, New York Times reviewer Allan
Kozinn wrote, "…(Yoo) is a mature player
with interesting ideas and the means to convey
them…not content to dazzle his listeners
with speed and volume, but sought ways to bring
out the music hidden within the gymnastics."
Violinist Julia Sakharova, a scholarship student
at Juilliard School of Music, has won awards in
this country and in her native Russia for her
passionate playing. A review in the French publication,
"L’Alsace," describes "an
incredible temperament, very fine sensitivity,
remarkable colors."
Cellist Margrét Arnadóttir, of
Reykjavik, Iceland, is a student at The Juilliard
School, and has appeared as soloist with the Iceland
Symphony Orchestra. The Tavros recording emphasizes
her ability for passionate, insightful interpretation.
