With an overwhelming talent and innate musicality, @seong-Jin Cho has made his mark as one of the consummate talents of his generation and most distinctive artists on the current music scene. His thoughtful and poetic, assertive and tender, virtuosic and colourful playing can combine panache with purity and is driven by an impressive natural sense of balance.
For his sixth and latest Deutsche Grammophon album, pianist @seong-Jin Cho returns to the music of Frédéric Chopin with his Piano Concerto No. 2 and four Scherzi. The album features these best-loved works in interpretations characterised by thoughtful poetry and youthful ardour. Cho came to worldwide prominence in 2015 when he won First Prize at the Warsaw International Chopin Competition, the first South Korean pianist to achieve this feat. After the success of his first studio album for the Yellow Label, featuring Chopin’s First Concerto and the 4 Ballades, Cho is now realising his wish to follow that release with what he considers to be its logical companion, a pairing of the Second Concerto and the four Scherzi. Both albums were recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra and Gianandrea Noseda.
