Description

Yarlung Records recorded this American Debut Album for pianist David Fung in advance of his 2005 world concert tour. Following his celebrated concerts with the Sydney and Melbourne Symphony Orchestras, David won the International Klaviersommer Festival Competition in Germany in 2004. And after also capturing the festival’s People’s Choice Award, David quickly became a young artist in demand around the world.

We recorded this album on June 27th and 28th, 2005 in Herbert Zipper Hall in the Colburn School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles. David started with the Liszt B-Minor Sonata, and played it straight through in one take.

In his own words, David Fung describes his intention with A Journey from Hubris to Humility: “When making this recording, we wanted to give the listener the experience of a concert performance in a great concert hall, not the surgical “in-your-face” sound one hears so often in new recordings. I hope you feel like you are sitting in the tenth row of magnificent Zipper Hall.”
