HonggiÂ Kim, winner of the 2018 Jaen Prize International Piano Competition, has chosen a fascinating recitalÂ programmeÂ for his Naxos recording debut. BothÂ ScarboÂ and LosÂ requiebrosÂ are pillars of the piano repertoire, brimming with expressive and technical challenges for any performer, as is Carl Vine's beautifully written but rarely heard Piano Sonata No. 1. Sanchez-Verdu'sÂ Jardin deÂ espejosÂ ('Garden of Mirrors') is influenced by the multiple layers in Islamic art, the 'mirrors' of the title lending shape to a tradition of listening, silence and echoes. TheÂ programmeÂ concludes with Schumann's Piano Quintet in E flat major, an outstanding work in the chamber-music literature.
