A House Of Many Rooms: New Concert Music by Fred Hersch
Eunbi Kim (piano)
The virtuoso pianist Eunbi Kim performs concert music by the exploratory artist Fred Hersch on this recording. Kim's recital and recording projects are frequently sparked by a fresh artistic obsession, and often present the audience with intimate and challenging subject matter. Her genre-defying, often interdisciplinary recitals have been presented in prestigious venues across the United States. Kim is a perfect match for Fred Hersch's music, which is known for its personal and expressive pianistic style. While this is a recording of his concert music, Hersch is also well known as an innovative pianist in jazz, being credited with more than 40 albums. He is the author of Good Things Happen Slowly: A Life In and Out of Jazz.

"An experienced jazz artist, Fred Hersch has perfromed and recorded with various small groups and accompanied many vocalists So it is not surprising to learn that Hersch has written some "classical"compositions. He calls them "concert"pieces. Several are recorded here, in committed performances by pianist Eunbi Kim She [Kim] seems to have an emotional connection to this music, and her performances are impressive "
