Hyung-ki Joo, piano
HE IS DEFINITELY A MUSICIAN TO BE HEARD
 Richard Goode/pianist,
"

His excellent command of the instrument is put at the service of a fine sensibility and a quite personal voice. In addition, he plays with a certain rhythmic freedom and an individual style I find very refreshing. He is definitely a musician to be heard

AN UNUSUAL TYPE OF TALENT
 Ferenc Rados/pianist,
"

I find him an unusual type of talent who does not belong to the endless row of successful or unsuccessful 'piano key hunters'.

SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO EXPRESS ALL THE NUANCES

I wanted a true virtuoso, someone who knows how to express all the nuances, who intuitively understands all the dynamics, and who can deliver a bravura performance.

REVIEW from
HYUNG-KI JOO IS THE PERFECT CHAMBER-MUSIC PIANIST
 The Classical Source,
"

Hyung-ki Joo is the perfect chamber-music pianist, one who is perfectly balanced with his colleagues and who has an imaginative response to the music he plays without drawing attention to himself.
