Jonah Kim’s new Approaching Autumn release with pianist Robert Koenig and featuring a world premiere from Mark Abel landed a wonderful feature in The Whole Note‘s December 2021 Editor’s Corner:
“Kim’s…performance is outstanding – big, brash and gritty as called for in the outer movements; sensitive and lyrical in the Adagio (con gran espressione) – and his technique in this extremely challenging work is impressive. Kim is joined by pianist Robert Koenig for the remainder of the disc; the one-movement post-Romantic title work by American Mark Abel (b.1948) providing a kind of a bridge to Grieg’s Sonata for Cello and Piano Op.36 which concludes this excellent disc.”
—David Olds, The Whole Note
