This debut recording of pianist Quentin Kim includes works
by Weber, Brahms, Saint-Sans, Liszt as well as Kim’s own compositions. Quentin
Kim boasts degrees from Yale and Juilliard as well as prizes at national and
international competitions.“Listening
to him is an experience of pure pleasure” - Jerome Lowenthal; “elegant
virtuosity and unfailingly polished playing” - Boris Berman; “extremely beautiful from all points of view” - Claude Frank.
These kinds may be young but they get around, with premiere performances of works by John Burge and Ellen Taafe Zwillich to their credit, as well as a gig on the Naxos recording of William Bolcom’s Songs of Innocence and Experience that won a Grammy Award in 2006. (Slatkin was on the podium.) Here they sound admirably accomplished.

style and balance is ideal.
In every piece, one hears a refinement of style in each of the
instruments, and each of their styles blends with the others. No one
musician plays his or her line above the others where it is merely
subordinate, and no one line ever seems to be covered up or lost in the
texture. (Read Full Review)

This is a fine recording. It will surely appeal to oboists and Britten and Hindemith fans. (Read Full Review)
