Complete video at: fora.tv Concert piano virtuoso Jung Lin performs Franz Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2.” This excerpt is taken from a program entitled “The Piano in World Civi­lization,” featuring commentary by piano expert David Dubal. —– “The Piano in World Civi­lization” with David Dubal and Jung Lin in discussion and perfor­mance at the 2007 Aspen Ideas Festival. In this, its third year, Aspen Ideas Festival once again gathers scien­tists, artists, politi­cians, histo­rians, educators, activists, and other great thinkers around some of the most important and fasci­nating ideas of our time. As these thinkers present their provocative ideas, they engage a sophis­ti­cated and highly moti­vated audience. 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.
