Seong-Jin Cho: A Ravel-athon 150th Anniversary Tribute
Barbican Hall, EC2Y 8DS , [Venue Details]A sold-out hall greeted Seong-Jin Cho’s Barbican debut in 2023. His much-anticipated return navigates a scintillating all-Ravel programme, saluting the composer in his 150th anniversary year.
Bookended by the early serenade and the last piano suite, which honours his inheritance, Ravel’s piano music is laid before us, from the wistful Pavane that made his name, through the haute couture tailoring of the Sonatine and endlessly atmospheric Miroirs, to the overwhelming tour de force that is Gaspard de la nuit. But en route Seong-Jin Cho doesn’t overlook such minor miniatures as the ingenious tribute to Haydn, nor two affectionate pastiches of Borodin and Chabrier.
Winner of the 17th Warsaw International Chopin Piano Competition and currently the Berlin Philharmonic’s Artist-in-Residence, Cho brings ‘something fresh to the table’. (Limelight Magazine). ‘Like all great performers’, observes Bachtrack, ‘he draws you into his vision and holds you there’.
