The young Korean pianist Yeseul Moon has not let herself be deterred and on her MDG debut is presenting a breathtaking new recording in MDG's surround sound SACD.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe Sunday Times says of this recording:\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'Korean pianist Yeseul Moon gives a scintillating performance, muscular and cogent. She's equally impressive in the all-American Op 20 Excursions, the thoughtfully impassioned Op 46 Ballade and the lovely Chopinesque resonances of the Op 33 Nocturne.
