"Four Stars ... his performance is ravishing ... the wonderfully crisp, unfussy articulation one quickly takes for granted, but the restraint and subtle discrimination of Cho’s playing, combined with his silvery, never fulsome sound, is constantly beguiling."
- The Guardian
In its 88 year history, the International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition has earned a reputation as one of the world's top piano events, opening international careers to young pianists. In 2015 for the first time, the competition collaborated with Deutsche Grammophon to award a recording contract to the first prize winner, South Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho. This live album contains highlights from the 21-year-old musician's recital rounds, accompanied by the Symphony Orchestra of the Warsaw Philharmonic under Jacek Kaspszyk.
"It has been a wonderful experience for me to be part of this great competition and a dream come true to be named as winner of its first prize. Chopin’s music tells us so much about the human condition and speaks directly to the heart. I hope that this recording will move all those who hear it."
- Seong-Jin Cho
