Fresh from his win at the XVII International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, the 21-year-old South Korean Seong-Jin Cho makes his debut with a live recording made during the competition. The Op 28 Preludes-played with a poetry that found favour with a jury comprised of Dmitri Alexeev, Martha Argerich, Philippe Entremont, Nelson Goerner and Garrick Ohlsson-are delightfully varied and full of life. The Second Piano Sonata is fleet of foot, commanding and very convincing.
The Competition was born of the need to sustain familiarity with the music of Fryderyk Chopin and to perpetuate the piano playing tradition that was characteristic of his style. Today, when the Competition is organised on such a huge scale, attracting the greatest pianistic talents from all the countries of the world, and Chopin's music is enjoying the kind of popularity and recognition afforded virtually no other composer, it is hard to believe that after the First World War, just ninety years or so ago, Chopin's works were being played . Among those who contributed in no small way to the performance style that concerned the first organisers of the Chopin Competition were some of the composer's pupils (both his actual pupils and also a number of pianists who dubbed themselves such after the composer's death).
