Seong-Jin Cho - Ravel: Jeux D'Eau, M.30

“I’ve always been fascinated by the ideas, colours and emotions to be found in Ravel’s music, and it has been an honour to record his complete solo piano works and concertos” (Seong-Jin Cho)

Having loved Ravel since childhood and immersed himself in the composer while studying at the Paris Conservatoire, the young Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho has chosen to mark the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth in 2025 by recording his complete solo piano music and the two piano concertos, where he collaborates with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Andris Nelsons.

One of today’s most elegant and accomplished pianists, ten years on from his Chopin Competition victory, Cho releases the album Ravel: The Complete Solo Piano Works. The pianist has always felt a close connection with the French piano literature and found himself fully discussing the challenges of the solo works, pointing to the composer’s orchestral sound and meticulous attention to detail. “Ravel really knew what he wanted, so I try to follow his specific markings,” he says.

너무 아름다운 크리스탈 성에 있는 것 같다.... 온기 없는 차가운 공간같지만 따스한 온기가 슬며시 올라와 감싸는 것 같다..🥹

This playing reminds me of the saying, “Art not only imitates nature, but it also completes its deficiencies”.

[김지선-lk]

연주는 말할것도 없고, 가늘고 긴 하얀손, 손목의 움직임까지 너무 우아합니다.

[krystynam.]

Beautiful album 📀 Thank you Cho and Deutsche Grammophon 🌟❤️🌟👌💐👍

2:05 하행 때 페달 사악 빼면서 그냥 옥구슬 소리 그 자체를 내어버리네요. 쇼팽 에튀드 10-1 후반부에도 이런 식으로 해서 미친 질감을 내셨는데 이 정도면 디테일의 끝판왕이신듯...!

[staffanolofsson]

A magic interpretation, Seong-Jin Cho!

[Eclante]

여러 연주가분의 물의 유희를 들었지만..조성진님이 어릴적부터 쳐왔던 이 곡이 가장 물의 소리와 가깝게 들려요. 뽀글뽀글 소리..졸졸 흐르는 소리 때때로는 폭포처럼 쏟아지다가도 돌에 부딪치다가도..
라벨은 어떻게 이런 곡을 작곡했을까요. 그리고 어떻게 이렇게 정형화된 음 속에서 자연의 소리를 느끼게 하는걸까요!~👏

[이윤주-uy]

최고의 연주를 들려주는 성진의 빛나는 연주에 무한한 찬사와 감사를 드립니다. 💟💟

[readygo]

조성진이 연주하는 물의 유희는 연주가 끝나는게 아쉬워서 한 번으론 만족 안 되고 반복해서 재생하게 됨...최고.

[the_eternal_paradox]

learning this piece right now! how incredible it is to hear Cho play it today :) happy birthday, Ravel!

[소네트jh]

What a marvelous!!! Cho is a piano virtuoso!!!

[tomekkobialka]

Impeccable performance and impeccable sound quality

[katieparker]

Wow! It's so vivid, I can almost taste the water in the air. Beautiful!

[ThesimpleSoldier]

Wonderful Interpretation; the choice of rapidity/tempo, the Staccato in certain passages, the agility, the fantasy behind it. Appreciated indeed.

[AlfieTheProducer]

You know he came alive when he ripped those pentatonic arpeggios at the end lol. Sublime

[manuhara]

분수대 앞에서 물방울이 장난칩니다 햇빛에 비춰서 가끔 무지갯빛으로 빛나는 물줄기를 귀로 만져보세요
