Jung Lin
Jung Lin is a classical pianist who has been acclaimed for her poetic and virtuosic performances. A native of Taiwan, she conducted her own orchestral works at age 12 and has won numerous competitions. At 16, her symphonic poem, The Black Wedding, was given its premiere by the Juilliard Symphony under Miguel Harth-Bedoya. Lin graduated with honors from the Juilliard School, and she has performed at such prestigious venues as the International Keyboard Institute and Festival, the Summit Festival in China, and at Alice Tully Hall at the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts. Late this year, Naxos will release Jung Lin’s two all-Medtner CDs, including the first complete recording of the Russian composer’s 38 Fairy Tales.
I love watching and listening to this very attractive pianist but the stuffed shirt needs to go. Please cut him out. What a pompous windbag. Doesn't even know his music history.
Thank You I could listen to her for hours. Some one said life without music is a mistake, this piano history of, speech less, if you have peace within tears will fall freely, music sets you free. Thanks It is a pleasure to watch Jung play she is very emotional and very strong hands, The hands are the eyes of the body, eyes of the mind together spirit survives.
Be careful, Domenico Scarlatti was born in Naples, Italy, in 1685! Not in Spain!
He is Italian, not Spanish!
True that he spent much of his life in Spain and Portugal.
Please correct!
