The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Classical charts, topping crossover stars Andrea Bocelli and Jackie Evancho and veteran classical artists such as Yo-Yo Ma and Hilary Hahn.

A special 8-volume box set of HJ’s Complete Beethoven Sonatas, featuring her extraordinarily in-depth and thoughtful liner notes, which break down her reasoning behind the themes and the groupings of sonatas, make it clear that she has reflected at length about each of these 30 works. Says Lim: “To perform Beethoven’s sonatas is not just to interpret music, but also an attempt to understand the multi-faceted psychology of a human being.”
