Seong-Jin Cho / Piano Recital

Tue, May 13, 2025, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Seong-Jin Cho (Piano)

When it sparkles and shimmers, when it becomes transparent and at the same time shines in all colours, then it quickly becomes clear who is sitting at the piano: Seong-Jin Cho, a distinctive artist who shot to fame in 2015 when he won the prestigious Chopin Competition – and a contract as an exclusive artist with Deutsche Grammophon quickly followed. He was already considered a pop star in his native South Korea. A fame that he himself only acknowledges with a smile. Because what really inspires him are the soundscapes of each composer, into which he delves deeply with each new programme: Chopin was followed by Debussy, Mozart by Schubert and Handel. Somehow it is clear that he is now setting out to explore the colourful cosmos of the French composer in 2025, the 150th birthday of Ravel.
