Verbier Festival 2018: Seong-Jin Cho plays Debussy, Schumann & Chopin

Seong-jin Cho, pays tribute to Debussy on the occasion the 100th anniversary of the French composer’s death. Cho’s refined palette of color and superb technical mastery is perfectly suited for revealing the subtle harmonic invention of Images.
Schumann’s Fantasiestücke Op. 12 are rarely featured in concert programs. This half-hour long cycle is a challenge for the performer who has to demonstrate an extreme versatility of moods ranging from the dark. Des Abends, the angst-filled In der Nacht to the virtuosic Traumeswirren.
With Chopin’s Op. 58, Cho shows his ability in the grand sonata form and his affinity for the composer that earned him the distinction by winning the First Prize of the 2015 Chopin competition.
