Seong-Jin Cho in conversation with Kyoungmin Park
Andris Nelsons and Seong-Jin Cho
“There are few poets at the piano today – one of them is Seong-Jin Cho,” was the verdict of Simon Rattle after the young Korean made his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2017. In December 2020, he played Franz Liszt’s lyrical Second Piano Concerto under the baton of Andris Nelsons. His performance was framed by Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture and the momentous Fifth Symphony, which brought the Beethoven anniversary celebrations slowly to a close.
