Seong-Jin Cho by Ben Wolf

Less than a decade since his New York recital debut at Carnegie Hall, Seong-Jin Cho already ranks among themost in-demand artists. J. S. Bach’s Partita No. 1 sets the perfect stage for Cho’s anticipated matinee recital, representing one of the composer’s greatest balancing acts between technical bravado and exquisite musicianship. Schoenberg’s Suite for Piano is a thorny, almost breathlessly urgent musical expression, and it contrasts wonderfully with the wit and revelry of Robert Schumann’s Faschingsschwank aus Wien (Carnival Jest from Vienna). In the second half of the concert, Cho performs 14 waltzes by Chopin——a collection of works even more varied yet in their moods, intentions, and unique challenges.
