Info for Ravel: The Complete Solo Piano Works and Concertos

Diese HiRes-Edition enthält Ravel's gesamten Werke für Klavier Solo und die beiden Klavierkonzerte. Letztere nahm Seong-Jin Cho zusammen mit dem Boston Symphony Orchestra unter der Leitung von Andris Nelsons auf. Chos einfühlsame Ravel-Interpretationen werden weltweit sowohl vom Publikum als auch von Kritikern gefeiert. Sie unterstreichen seinen Status als einer der elegantesten und versiertesten Pianisten der Gegenwart – zehn Jahre nach seinem Sieg beim Chopin-Wettbewerb.

"Die Gedanken, Farben und Gefühle in Ravels Musik haben mich schon immer fasziniert. Ich empfinde es als Ehre, seine gesamten Werke für Klavier solo und die Klavierkonzerte aufzunehmen." (Seong-Jin Cho)

"Chos Stärke liegt in seinem kompromisslosen Streben nach Präzision und Klarheit – bis hinein in die feinste Nuancierung jedes einzelnen Akkords, selbst bei höchstem Tempo, nie klingt das steril oder rein virtuos. Ravel-Interpretationen von solcher Perfektion im Detail sind nur selten zu hören." (Financial Times über Ravel: The Complete Solo Piano Works)

Seong-Jin Cho/strong>
has established himself worldwide as one of the leading pianists of his generation and most distinctive artists on the current music scene. With an innate musicality and consummate artistry, his thoughtful and poetic, virtuosic, and colourful playing can combine panache with purity and is driven by an impressive natural sense of balance. He is celebrated unanimously across the globe for his expressive magic and illuminative insights.

Seong-Jin Cho was brought to the world’s attention in 2015 when he won First Prize at the Chopin International Competition in Warsaw, and his career has rapidly ascended since. In early 2016, he signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon and, in 2023, Cho was awarded the prestigious Samsung Ho-Am Prize in the Arts in recognition of his exceptional contributions to the world of classical music. An artist high in demand, Cho works with the world’s most prestigious orchestras including Berliner Philharmoniker, Wiener Philharmoniker, London Symphony Orchestra, Concertgebouworkest, and Boston Symphony Orchestra. Conductors he regularly collaborates with include Myung-Whun Chung, Gustavo Dudamel, Andris Nelsons, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Gianandrea Noseda, Sir Antonio Pappano, Sir Simon Rattle, Santtu-Matias Rouvali, Esa-Pekka Salonen, and Lahav Shani.

In the 2024/25 season Seong-Jin Cho takes up the mantle of Artist in Residence with the Berliner Philharmoniker, a position which sees Cho work with the orchestra on multiple projects across the season including concerto performances, chamber music collaborations, on tour to the Osterfestspiele Baden-Baden, and in recital. Elsewhere, he notably returns to London’s BBC Proms, to the Philadelphia Orchestra to open their season with Yannick Nézet-Séguin, to New York Philharmonic and Chicago Symphony Orchestra with Santtu-Matias Rouvali, and to The Cleveland Orchestra under Franz Welser-Möst. Cho embarks on several international tours, including his notable return to Wiener Philharmoniker with Andris Nelsons in Korea and to Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks with Sir Simon Rattle in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, following a performance of Brahms Piano Concerto. No. 2 in Munich.
