World Premiere – Seong-Jin Cho: The Unknown Mozart

What better way to celebrate Mozart’s birthday than with the world premiere of one of his compositions? @seong-jincho is set to do just that in the Great Hall of the Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation, opening the Foundation’s first virtual Mozartwoche festival. The acclaimed pianist will be performing the recently rediscovered Allegro in D K626b/16 for the first time ever as a world premiere!

“Like every cultural institution in the world, we are facing enormous challenges right now” comments Rolando Villazón, Artistic Director of the Mozartwoche. “The world premiere of the Allegro in D is the icing on the birthday cake for our beloved Mozart. I am thrilled it will be presented by the outstanding pianist Seong-Jin Cho, who has such a marvellous feeling for the tender humanity of Mozart’s melodies. Mozart’s music brings us solace in difficult times and is the shining light that lets us look forward to the time when audiences and performers will be able to meet again. For now, we have the chance to share the Mozartwoche experience online and witness a special moment in music history with this world premiere.”

“It is a great honour to be invited to give the premiere of a formerly unknown work by Mozart in the city where he was born and where it may have been written” – Seong-Jin Cho

In collaboration with Mozarteum Foundation Salzburg, Mozartwoche and Moonlake Entertainment.

모차르트곡을 세계 첫 연주!!
조성진님 자랑스럽스럽니다!!
정말 영광이자 기쁨입니다.

오스트리아인 모차르트가 1773년에 이탈리아에 있을 때 작곡했던 곡을 2021년에 한국인 조성진이 초연하고 그 영상을 독일 클래식 레이블을 통해 본다라.. 모차르트가 이 광경을 보고 있다면... 얼마나 마음이 벅찼을지..

[mikyungkim]

짧은 곡이지만 모차르트스러운 위트와 서정이 곡 전체에서 느껴지네요. 조성진 피아니스트의 해석은 말이 필요없이 아름답구요. 역시 월드클래스 피아니스트! Wonderful music & extraordinary pianist!

[다정한미술관-lo]

2021년 새벽에 18세기 모차르트의 신곡을 듣다니 정말 낭만적이네요

[jsb]

조성진님 최고네요.와~ 초연이라니 역사적인 순간 ... 뜻깊은 연주 축하합니다~^^

I literally felt goosebump when Cho started playing Mozart’s new piece. Just mind blowing how Cho played so well and perfectly fit into Mozart himself. Much respect to this guy always.

[virginiabuhn]

What a delightful gem has been added to the Mozart repertoire! And as expected, Seong-Jin Cho presented it with ideal Mozart style. His clarity and sparkle, lyricism and phrasing, articulation and dynamics all contributed to a feeling of pure joy. Thank you for letting us share this very special way of saying 'Happy Birthday, dear Mozart!'

[Octavio]

So glad Mozart is still dropping new pieces

[MatthewMingLi]

This is indeed historic! It's not everyday that you hear a Mozart composition is being premiered. This is going straight into music history textbooks!

[pgmpark]

시작 전에 저도 엄청 떨리던데 성진님은 어떠셨을지....
이 역사적인 순간에 성진님이 연주해주셔서 더 기대가 됐었고 더 감동적이었습니다.
터치 하나하나가 살아 숨쉬는 너무나 아름다운 연주였어요.
모차르트 미발표곡 세계초연하신거 진심으로 축하드리고 자랑스럽습니다.👍❤

[joeowens]

A truly delightful piece, played by the most delightful Mozartean pianist playing before the public today!! Thrilling.

[내가누구게-nk]

관계자분들의 벅찬 기쁨과 설렘이 영상 너머에서도 전해져서 함께 설레게 되네요 모짜르트의 미발표곡 첫 연주자가 조성진이라는 사실도 너무 감격스럽구요...
연주모습을 보면서 모짜르트의 모습이 오버랩되며 상상이 되었습니다 아~ 언제쯤 쌩눈과 쌩귀에 연주실황을 담아볼 수 있을까요... 조성진씨, 모쪼록 이 시국에 건강하게 잘 계셔주세요... 💪💪💜💜

[jsy]

조성진님 모짜르트 신곡 초연 축하드려요 개인적으로 영광이겠죠? 곡이 너무 아름답습니다

[stephencostanza]

Bravo, Seong-Jin Cho! Bravo, Mozart! Happy Birthday Wolfgang!!

[snorefest]

The jumps and stuffs are really hard glad that a pianist can play it so well!

[orangegrove]

I can feel Mozart's pure soul and joy for music in this piece. This is a precious present from Mozart to us living in this era. I’m so thrilled and thankful.
The Mozarteum Foundation's choice was excellent. Seong-Jin Cho, he is honest toward music. He goes very well with Mozart. The meeting of two noble souls. How historic it is!

[원영-sm]

와 모차르트가 17세때 작곡했었던 미공개곡을 같은 나이때인 17살일때 듣는다니 대박이네요
열여덟 되기 50시간도 안남았는데 지나가기 전에 언넝 듣고싶네요

[애리랑]

성진님의 모차르트 초연을 봐야죠...잠이야 하루 못자면 그만이죠... 이런 설레임을 참
