Hyeyoon wins prestigious German Critic’s award

Hyeyoon’s concerto disc ‘Silenced’ has won the ‘Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik’, a prestigious distinction awarded by a panel of expert critics from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Of the disc they wrote:

“Shostakovich's First Violin Concerto is a journey through hell. By the end of the Passacaglia, when the soloist must launch from the gruelling cadenza straight into the frenzied finale, the music seems to hover on the brink of total exhaustion. Psychological extremity is part of the design. Hyeyoon Park drives this virtuosic ordeal forward with astonishing stamina and focus, cutting through the orchestral maelstrom with unflagging intensity. As presented here, the rediscovery of Henriëtte Bosmans's »Concert Piece« is likely to remain a benchmark for a long time. Breathtaking to the very last note.”
