Pianist Dong Hyek Lim grew from a prodigal childhood into an adulthood marked by performances at major concert halls and festivals. His training was notable for its diversity, including Korean, Russian, German, and American elements. Dong Hyek Lim (sometimes transliterated as Dong-Hyek Lim) was born July 25, 1984, in Seoul. His older brother Dong Min Lim is also a noted pianist, and the pair tied for the third prize at the 2005 International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw. Lim attended Korea's National Conservatory as a child and won a nationwide newspaper competition at age nine. He moved to Moscow the following year for studies at the city's Central Music School, where he graduated in 1998. Lim went on to the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory, for studies with Lev Naumov, to the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hannover, Germany, working with Arie Vardi, and to the Juilliard School in New York, where he studied with Emanuel Ax.

From Schütz to Bräutigam by way of Schumann, Reger, Mauersberger, Poulenc and Werner – this recording by the Chamber Choir of the Freiburg University of Music under the direction of Morten Schuldt-Jensen takes the listener through the entire history of the motet. All of these compositions have one thing in common: their uniquely personal expressive force. The Drei Paulusmotetten by Fritz Werner, a contemporary of Poulenc, appear for the first time on HIGHRESAUDIO. These brilliant motets reflect the period and events of the time of their creation. The works by Werner and Mauersberger, for instance, were composed during the horrors of the Second World War.

Born in 1976 in Nazareth, Israel, pianist Saleem Ashkar is a double minority in his home country: he is of Palestinian Christian background. His younger brother, Nabeel Abboud Ashkar, is a noted violinist. Both brothers are alumni of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra (the name is taken from an Arab-themed volume of poetry by Goethe), founded by conductor/pianist Daniel Barenboim in 1999 as a vehicle for promoting Arab-Israeli cooperation through classical music. Saleem Ashkar also had encouragement from conductor Zubin Mehta, who programmed a performance of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor, Op. 23, with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra when Saleem was 17.
