    Seong-Jin Cho | piano

    Seong-Jin Cho, who has extraordinary technical ability but is an infrequent performer in France, has a gift for blending restraint with poetry.

    Chopin  Polonaise Op. 44
    Ravel  Menuet sur le nom de Haydn
    Le Tombeau de Couperin
    Liszt  Les Années de pèlerinage (Second Year, Italy)

    Seong-Jin Cho, winner of the prestigious Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 2015, was born in 1994, and is very conscious that Chopin is his lucky talisman. It therefore comes as no surprise that this former student of Michel Béroff at the Conservatoire de Paris opens his programme with Polonaise opus 44, whose central Tempo di mazurka offers respite from the tragic accents which run through the work. After a French interlude with Ravel – in which even the rare Menuet sur le nom de Haydn sounds French in style – the South Korean pianist transports us to Italy in the footsteps of Franz Liszt. Over the course of the second volume of Années de pèlerinage, we will admire Raphael and Michelangelo, listen to a Canzonetta attributed to Salvator Rosa, and read Petrarch and Dante. We can look forward to a marvellous Grand Tour.
