#berlinphiltour

Pianist Seong-Jin Cho accompanies us on this Asia tour to Seoul with Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4. In his favourite museum, the Leeum Museum of Art, he talks to us about the inseparable connection between fine art and classical music. He also tells us how a “slightly talented” little boy became an acclaimed pianist.

Cho emphasized that "Learning music is an endless journey." I take pleasure in continually observing his "endless journey." I love his music!😍

It’s wonderful to be able to hear in Cho’s own warm and low voice what is flowing through in his mind as it helps understand his current music making much better. Huge thanks to the Berliner Philharmoniker!

“音楽を学ぶことは終わりのない旅” 貴重なお話をありがとう。 心から尊敬しています。

My favorite guy in the world. Seong-jin is humble and very handsome🤎.

[@heathern9317]

I'm very happy to live in his Era. I'd love to listen to an album performed in collaboration with the Berlin Philharmonic in the future 😊

Wow, thanks for the upload, lovely! Valery Gergiev, in an interview, said he was shocked to hear young Cho, 16 years old, play and demanded the International Tchaikovsky Competition organizer bend the rule. They lowered the age requirement from 18 to 16 so that Cho could enter the competition.This was even after they made an announcement for the competition. Cho, who barely turned 17, won third prize in the competition. ​Cho was 15 when he claimed the top prize at the 2009 Hamamatsu International Piano Competition.The second prize winner, Gasanov Elmar, was 26. Other previous top prize winners include Sergei Babayan, Alessio Bax, Rafal Blechacz-tied. Cho is still the youngest winner in the competition's history.

He is fast becoming my favorite pianist of all time. I believe he has the potential to make into the virtuous circle of the greats. I hope Berlin Phil has a plan to a concerto with Cho.

[@user-vg5mk6zh6y]

I hope to listen and enjoy his playing for the rest of my life. 😊

Dear Berliner Philharmoniker, thank you for producing this video and sharing it with us. I think the subtitle at 2:20 should be corrected -- Seong-Jin Cho meant "the music is an art of timing". Meanwhile, I LOVE the way that Cho narrates his musical trajectory, his appreciation of arts, and his openness to different interpretations (that may change over time and depend on varied contexts of the artist’s playing). The museum’s art objects and the background music (the 2nd movement in Ravel's piano concerto) beautifully embellish Cho’s narration, and together they make this video clip artistically inspiring. Heart-felt congratulations to Cho for being selected as the 2024-2025 artist-in-residence for the Berliner Philharmoniker and I am thrilled to witness your mutually reinforcing musical collaboration with the BP! Warmest greetings from the US!

성진씨는 천상 예술가입니다. 어쩌면 이렇게 차분하게 설명도 잘할까요. 귀에 쏙 들어옵니다 베를린 필도 최고의 선택을 하셨음을 축하드립니다. 최고의 시너지를 낼거예요.💟

Thank you for the uploaded video! I'm very interested at pianists and they are absolutely smart. This is the first time to see and know him, but I guess he is also one of the most famous pianist in the world. Love from Japan and love to the Berlin Philharmoniker🇯🇵🇩🇪

Oh, and thank you so much for the translation/subtitles :D Did he say "an 80 year-old's walking tempo" or "an 8 year old's"?

[@berlinphil]

He said 80, we will adjust the subtitles!

안단테는 "조금 느리게"로 알고 있었는데. "걷는 속도의 빠르기로". 이렇게 표현하기도 하는군요.

[@user-mv8cq8vn1q]

[@gerbs139]

The second movement of Ravel’s Concerto in G - this movement begins with a long solo.
