About
Also known as: Yeol Eum Son, Сон Йорым
Yeol Eum Son is a South Korean classical pianist whose performances of Mozart have earned her a genuinely unusual kind of internet fame: her recording of the Mozart Piano Concerto No. 21 at the International Tchaikovsky Competition racked up an estimated 31 million views online, thought to be a record for a live Mozart performance. She took Silver at that same 2011 competition, picking up prizes for Best Chamber Concerto Performance and Best Performance of the Commissioned Work along the way. Two years earlier she had won Silver at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition as well. Her repertoire stretches from Haydn and Mozart through to Rachmaninoff and Ravel, and she has played as soloist with an extraordinary range of orchestras, from the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonics to the London Symphony Orchestra and the Mariinsky. She had planned to record the complete Mozart piano concertos with Sir Neville Marriner, and after his sudden death she performed the Mozart concertos in Seoul as a tribute to him.
