“Playing Liszt is like entering a state of ecstasy.” In his latest album, the Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho explores three peaks of the piano repertoire – Liszt’s Sonata in B minor, Schubert’s “Wanderer” Fantasy and Berg’s Sonata Op. 1. Completed in 1853 and dedicated to Robert Schumann, Liszt’s B minor Sonata shocked many early audiences with its symphonic scale and revolutionary single-movement form. “It deals with life, love and death, with Mephistopheles and Faust,” Seong-Jin Cho comments. “I see these thirty minutes of music as a life cycle, with the climax in the middle.”

Since winning the International Chopin Piano Competition in 2015, one of the most prestigious of all prizes for young artists, Cho has become a regular at the world’s leading concert halls. His latest album, “The Wanderer”, follows critically acclaimed recordings of works by Mozart and Debussy.
