Music is a language we all share. I was born in S. Korea, I was raised in the United States, and I have lived in Europe. To an extent, music has been my passport to the world. The composers I am fortunate enough to work with on this album have also taken their own journeys through music. From different backgrounds, experiences, and heritage, they use the language of music to tell their stories. From around the world and forged in America, each brings their own style, expression, and beauty to music. That is what is boundless in this life – passion, creativity, enthusiasm, love! Music is the language capable of speaking those things universally. I am honored to perform these works from three extraordinary American composers.

With love and gratitude, Minju.

“The sonata-form opening movement, meditative central span and concluding toccata are terrifically well realised by Choi…it is the most characterful work in the programme and Choi plays it superbly." - Gramophone

“A highly skilled piano lady kicking it out solo that didn't get grabbed by Steinway first. Playing modern classical with passion, this repeat award winner shows how it's done here. With a texture that doesn't have to rely on white space for you to take a breather, she keeps it coming in most fine style. Highlighting three composers here, it seems safe to say they probably never sounded so good. A solid must for serious, classical piano fans that are clamoring for some fresh repertoire.” - Midwest Record

“It displays Choi’s virtuosic technique and abilities to create crystal clear articulations and textures. In the hands of Minju Choi, one may overlook the difficulty of these often virtuosic vehicles which she has so perfectly mastered here. The recording itself is stunning in its capture of the sound. It is a highly-recommended release.” - Cinemusical

“The three composers share a language that is largely tonal and combines a wonderfully creative inclination for rhythmic interest.” - The Whole Note
