Sun looking to shine brighter

Young pianist Sun Yutong performs German composer Johannes Brahms' last pieces for solo piano at the Beijing Concert Hall on Aug 19. To celebrate the 190th anniversary of German composer Johannes Brahms' birth, young pianist Sun Yutong was ambitious in leading his audience through pieces from the composer's later years. "I hope, through these piano miniatures, I can bring my audience into the world of Brahms' introspection of later life," Sun said before a recital at the Beijing Concert Hall on Aug 19. "Playing piano, for me, is to faithfully convey my understanding of the works and the composers and to try my best to maximize personal temperament so that the audience can feel something fresh," Sun says.
