Steinway & Sons begins their celebration of the Beethoven Anniversary year with a new recording from an artist who was born to play this music. These performances, recorded at Steinway Hall in New York, were immediately recognized as definitive recordings to serve in the essential series of Steinway Classics. Praised for her “thrilling blend of fury and finesse” (San Antonio Express-News) and regarded as “… a polished and serious-minded pianist” (Gramophone), pianist Young-Ah Tak enjoys a remarkable international career with performances throughout the United States, Canada, Austria, Germany, Italy, Korea and Japan. Ms. Tak received her Bachelor of Music from The Juilliard School, her Master of Music and Graduate Diploma from the New England Conservatory as a recipient of NEC’s Presidential Scholarship, and her Doctor of Musical Arts from The Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University. Ms. Tak currently serves as an Associate Professor of Piano and Head of the Piano Area at the Crane School of Music of the State University of New York at Potsdam.
