About
The star pianist joins forces with his regular collaborator and ‘musical soulmate’ Santtu-Matias Rouvali, and the outstanding Philharmonia Orchestra. First comes Borodin’s atmospheric musical picture of a caravan of merchants and their camels crossing the steppe, with gorgeous moments in the spotlight for some of the Philharmonia’s woodwind principals. Then it’s time for Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto, one of the peaks of the piano repertoire. From its majestic opening chords to the fiery fingerwork of its finale, with many a sweep-you-off-your-feet melody along the way, it gives Seong-Jin Cho the chance to show every aspect of his virtuosity.
