Seong-Jin Cho plays Beethoven
Seong-Jin Cho plays Beethoven's poetic Fourth Piano Concerto.
You can’t keep inspiration down. Michael Tippett heard the chugging of a steamboat on a Swiss lake, and his Second Symphony burst into vibrant, bustling life. Wagner wrestled with faith and philosophy, and created music that seems to hover, glowing, in mid-air. And Ludwig van Beethoven sat down at the piano and drew music out of silence: a piano concerto more poetic, and more personal, than he’d ever created before. And with Seong-Jin Cho – a pianist making waves globally since winning the Chopin Competition – joining forces with Edward Gardner, they are sure to strike sparks off each other.
