Decca Announces Yunchan Lim Rachmaninoff Album

Decca Classics has announced the forthcoming release of one of the most talked-about performances in recent classical music history: Yunchan Lim’s electrifying interpretation of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3, recorded live with Marin Alsop and the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra during the Final Round of the 2022 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, when he was just 18 years old.

Now 21, Yunchan first gained international recognition with this very performance, which conductor Marin Alsop described as showing “an old soul, rather than a young performer.” Since then, it has become the most-watched version of the concerto on YouTube, with over 17 million views. Mixed and available in Dolby Atmos, the recording will be released on May 16, 2025.
