Seong - Jin Cho The Wanderer Schubert - Berg - Liszt CD
With his victory at the prestigious Chopin International Piano Competition in 2015, South Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho immediately became an international star.
After the success of his albums of works by Debussy and Mozart he now embarks on an interesting journey exploring Schubert, Liszt and Berg.
The Wanderer Fantasia is one of Schubert's finest piano pieces which Seong-Jin Cho interprets with great naturalness.
In Liszt's Sonata, known for its difficulty, the young pianist manages to express all his technical potential which places him at the highest world levels.
The Romantic theme of the wanderer, the free spirit undertaking a journey into the self, runs through Seong-Jin Cho’s latest solo album. The globetrotting Korean pianist’s programme includes two monuments of the 19th-century repertoire – Schubert’s “Wanderer” Fantasy and Liszt’s Piano Sonata in B minor. Set for international release on 3 April 2020, The Wanderer also contains Alban Berg’s Piano Sonata Op. 1, a single-movement work of extraordinary intensity. All three compositions grow from a simple theme or melodic gesture which is then transformed in the course of a voyage of variation, development and discovery. “This music looks forwards and backwards at once,” notes Cho. “What fascinates me is the (three) composers’s ability to create great art from just a few elements. The way they develop the works’ entire fabric from a single motif is fascinating. What creativity! What imagination!” The album is available for pre-order today along with the 2nd movement of Schubert’s Wanderer Fantasy as a pre-release track.
