Clearly, Seong-Jin Cho is one of those exceptional talents who not only have perfect command of their instrument, but also have the gift of telling exciting musical stories. The Korean pianist's program ranges from the
sound magician Mozart to the dramatic Prokofiev and Jörg Widmann. The works themselves tell stories: of the tragic love of Romeo and Juliet, of Mozart's poetic fantasy in C minor, of the lyrical warmth of the Sonata No. 8 in B flat major op. 84 and of the playful, light-hearted dialog between past and present in Widmann's "Sonatina facile". An evening full of virtuosity, expressiveness and narrative depth.
