Seong-Jin Cho - Chopin: Scherzo No. 4 in E Major, Op. 54

Seong-Jin Cho - Chopin: Scherzo No. 4 in E Major, Op. 54
Listen to ‘Chopin: Piano Concerto No. 2 · Scherzi’: dgt.link/Cho-Chopin
With an overwhelming talent and innate musicality, @Seong-Jin Cho has made his mark as one of the consummate talents of his generation and most distinctive artists on the current music scene. His thoughtful and poetic, assertive and tender, virtuosic and colourful playing can combine panache with purity and is driven by an impressive natural sense of balance.
For his sixth and latest Deutsche Grammophon album, pianist @Seong-Jin Cho returns to the music of Frédéric Chopin with his Piano Concerto No. 2 and four Scherzi. The album features these best-loved works in interpretations characterised by thoughtful poetry and youthful ardour. Cho came to worldwide prominence in 2015 when he won First Prize at the Warsaw International Chopin Competition, the first South Korean pianist to achieve this feat. After the success of his first studio album for the Yellow Label, featuring Chopin’s First Concerto and the 4 Ballades, Cho is now realising his wish to follow that release with what he considers to be its logical companion, a pairing of the Second Concerto and the four Scherzi. Both albums were recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra and Gianandrea Noseda.

[@wcsxwcsx]

Right from the first few notes, you can tell he has the touch.

[@ClassicalDavid]

2:05 one of the best color changes ever

[@chazinko]

Playing like this is why Seong-Jin Cho is the winner of the Chopin International Competition. Bravo!

[@paulgreen6921]

The current crop of concert pianist are so brilliant it’s like comparing top grade flawless diamonds. I think it best to enjoy what each contribute by virtue of their individual, unique gifts of mastery. These young virtuosos SHINE! SHINE! SHINE! You know? PWG

[@irenagouchowska344]

My favorite pianist for years.

[@juhyunkim3438]

♡Thanks to DG and Dear Mr. Cho

[@paulgreen6921]

The current breed of young concert pianists are simply crazy phenomenal! They possess transcendental skills and musicality. This obviously comes from an outpouring of “labor of love”. Wish I could get a few of my brain cells to “ touch and agree” on that magnitude. This scherzo is improvisational from note A to Z. Ole Frederick Francois Chopin knew “whereof he affirmed”. PWG

[@roseliajs908]

Thank you... Wonderful... ✨🎼✨🎼✨👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@vekasvanidze]

The best pianist nowadays!!!

[@tomiclamor]

how is no one talking abt his attack and pedalling of that bass note like in 0:22 ?? like that just speaks to me with how thoughtful he was in interpreting this piece,, also just incredibly hard to pull of consistently!

[@comedyfriendsenglish]

Damn. The way he makes that left hand sing. Left hand melodies made sense in this interpretation that never felt like melodies to me before in other pianists interpretations

[@lettyr.saldana8847]

Seong-Jin Cho you are so charming and talented❣️ 😍 🎹🎼😍

[@lynnlister7927]

Flowing, dramatic and masterly, what I expect from Cho

[@user-hw3rb4pb8y]

He is the real winner! What a beautiful piano forte!

[@catherinebeduer3838]

Ahhh, Chopin !! 😍🌟❤ Wonderful performance !! 💖🥰 Brilliant Seong- Jin Cho 🙏🌞😍🎶🎹🎶😍👌💘 Congratulations and thank you so much, Seong-Jin Cho and DG. 💕💕🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹😊🌹❤🙋‍♀️

[@ML-wl3hh]

시..실화냐? 내가 2를 4로 잘못 본줄....ㅋㅋㅋㅋ4번 영상까지 박제가 되다니..이런 감동적인 선물을...😭 Thank you, Seong jin and DG!!💙💚💜

[@erlinhld8745]

Geile Sau! So eine geniale Chopin-Parodie und Interpretation zugleich. Stilsicher, flüssig und doch sehr eigenmächtig. Das gefällt mir!

[@yosserc]

Always so sad not to hear the roaring approval of an audience after a performance like that... BRAVO!

[@j.davidtaylor2565]

sublime, as always. A true aristocrat of the piano, not unlike Michelangeli

[@solaskriptu809]

Still the best

[@user-nd8qz3yf4h]

그래 이게 우승자지..

[@josarah3160]

The greatest 🙌 ❤

[@thatnicekid04]

This is really special playing

[@brahmsianer5899]

What a beautiful and crisp clear interpretation!

[@fantasticcho6811]

He plays an enormous amount of repertoire perfectly. I admire genius and epport.

[@christyna9100]

터치가 진짜 공기중에 떠다니는 공기방울같다.. 저렇게 섬세하면서도 힘이있는.. 쇼팽 다른거 듣다가 결국엔 허한거 달래려 조성진 연주 들으러오는 분들 많을듯ㅠ

[@athenodoros]

Great 👍

[@MrWibette]

Feel the difference. his love of music.

[@pollytan6030]

His clarity of tone and flawless touch amaze me no end. I just love to listen to him play.

[@ClassicalDavid]

I think this is the best Scherzo 4 i have listened to dont @ me

[@theUltimateLord]

Li Yundi is up there tho

[@Bruce.-Wayne]

​@@theUltimateLord....Yes, Yundi is not to be forgotten.....he was a Chopin contest winner as well

[@javascriptkiddie2718]

Bunin

[@ack7956]

One of his other performances was much better in my eyes, but it's since been taken down... Lamentable

[@amber40494]

Never heard this scherzo played so beautifully . Love the playfulness

[@balihong2618]

You are so 🤩 amazing

[@AngeloDeAngelis748]

Bravo

[@steph2890]

still can't believe i went to his recital~!!

[@catherinejones9396]

Another wonderful and beautiful recording from the magical S-J Cho. Thank you for this one. This little joke is handled really delicately.

[@beth9603]

3:50 so exquisite

[@jeremywu1238]

Seong-Jin Cho's performance has made me fall in love with this magnificent piece all over again! Bravo!

[@NanoRX81]

Bravo!

[@serendipity478]

Wow!! The sound quality is awesome! SeongJin Cho is always at the top of my list of the best pianists of today’s generation!

[@Jihyun-mp2nh]

Wow........👏👏👏

He is just music and music is him. I love you Seongjin and your music forever🧡

[@tatyanam.1213]

Seong-Jin Cho is talent woonderful and perfect. "The severrity of Time softened, The novelty of words is lost. Talent is the only news, That is always New...." B. Pasternak

[@iuliaujeniuc731]

Grazieeee!

[@br_arba]

침대에서 이런 명연주를 들을 수 있다니 전 행복에 겨웠습니다

[@hoonlee2026]

I don't judge or score pianists but Cho is my favorite pianist and I have been searching through all renditions on KZbin done by him. Best part of it is I don't get tired of doing it.

[@heran6899]

쇼팽곡은 감정선이 무슨 파이처럼 그 안에 뭐가 들었는지 알 수가 없고, 까도 까도 알기 어려운 신비의 세계같다. 쇼팽곡은 마치 시를 읽는 듯, 머리로는 완전히 이해는 안되는데 감정은 젖어들게 하는 그런 이야기 같다. 이 스케르죠는 왠지 "밝은 미소로 가장한 슬픔"같이 느껴진다. 조성진의 연주는 항상 느끼는 거지만, 그 음악을 만든 원곡자의 마음을 더 많이 느끼게 하는 것 같다.

[@my0n3636]

최근에 스케르초 2번만 계속 들었는데 요즘은 4번이 진짜 좋다 한 드라마에 나온 것 처럼 봄날의 햇살이라는 표현이 어울리는 곡 같다

[@user-ll6js4kj6r]

I've wanted to listen to this! Thanks!

[@Erik83474]

My all time favourite Chopin piece, in the best interpretation EVER. This is pure happiness.

[@Woodfinger]

와.... 이번것은 진짜 엄청난 연주가 나온 것 같습니다. ㄷㄷ

[@dryades1]

Amazing 👏 👍

[@jykang2464]

역대급 스케르쪼4번입니다. 머리속에 계속 떠올려지는 곡이군요.

[@eusebiusseo9809]

이런 영상의 분위기를 Zimmermann 연주로 보곤 했는데...아...조성진 이라니 정말 감개무량하다 조성진 연주를 듣고 하늘에 계신 Chopin 이 얼마나 흡족해 하실까 생각하니 눈물 나온다... 지구가 살아있는 동안 이 감동은 영원하리라🙏

[@dawikim2955]

How beautiful & exquisite performance is this !

[@claudettedelphis6476]

Quel Virtuose 🎋🎹 dont la musique 🎶 est d’une douceur inégale 🌺 Un Poète 💐 Merci pour nous inviter à ce merveilleux spectacle 🌷 Thank you so much for inviting and sharing with us this absolute brilliant Virtuoso whose music one would never interrupt 🥀🍂 Bravo Seong-Jim Cho for allowing us a very special time in our dream 🌜🌝🌛

So nostalgic. I love his interpretation and sound.

[@user-iq3ez2fl7j]

성진님!!정말멎져요 이렇게아룸다운연주와함께멎진모습은 여운을남깁니다.이깊어가는.가을밤처럼 클래식의향연이라.참로맨틱해요.

[@yumi1981]

I am enjoying this year's Chopin Competition. But I always come here last and listen to his performance. Thank you for the good video.

[@virginiabuhn9719]

That is exactly the pattern I followed, Yumi. Each day I listened with interest to this year's competitors, but could not end the day before hearing Seong-Jin Cho, with one of his beautiful, mature, masterly performances.

[@HoYanPiano]

Love how brilliant the sound is:)

[@lilyoh4642]

Always amazing!!! ♡♡

[@kyulane2572]

Wonderful !!!! 🙏😊😊

[@user-nq1ps8hp6e]

스케르초 하나씩 끝날 때마다 박수치고 싶은 거 겨우 참고 속으로 열렬히 쳤던 작년 리싸이틀이 생각납니다. 역시 비교불가 최고 연주입니다. 실연으론 심장 터질 듯함

[@hsk1443]

Wonderful !!!!

[@roxydbest11]

I'm not well versed in terms of classical music, but Seong Jin Cho have that story telling prowess that makes me just wanna close my eyes and feel every inch of my body shiver.Thank you for this . 👏💚

[@erezsolomon3838]

You already show that you know more- than-enough classical music

[@ryantoews1639]

This is without a doubt the best performance of this piece I have ever heard in my life. There was no doubt Seong-Jin Cho was a great Chopin interpreter when he won the competition in 2015, but I am truly astounded by his almost paradoxical ease and focus. It sounds like he practiced this entire piece purely staccato, no pedal at grave speed many many times with the kind of independence, strength, and especially purpose his fingers all have.

[@margarethansen7480]

It’s so amazing seeing Mr. Cho playing this lovely piece and others I’ve hear. He shows entronizing perfectly with Chopin ! Thanks for sharing! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Jenny-bu3iy]

정말 한음한음 탱글탱글 꽉찬소리 너무 좋아요 자신감있는 테크닉과 오케스트라같은 입체적소리 가을과 젤 어울리는 피아니스트이에요

[@jewel7122]

이번 리싸이틀에서 스케르초 4번을 듣는데 눈에서 눈물이 저절로 나오더라구요.. 리싸 마지막곡이어서 아쉬움까지 더해져서 눈물이 났던것같아요 앞으로도 이 곡을 들으면 그 순간이 계속 떠올라 가슴이 벅찰것같아요. 스케4의 아름다운 추억을 안겨줘서 감사해요♡

[@taec4961]

I have watched this same performance so many times and still listening. Simply stunning and perfectly played. Thank you Cho.

[@pedroballadares5253]

Ah , the beautiful Music of a great. Pianist , and with this Musical master piece I’m ready to enjoy my weekend, thanks for sharing!

[@pierreolivaux]

Hauntingly beautiful. Seong-Jin already is among the masters

[@fromsarang]

너무 죠타...🥰

[@SCRIABINIST]

The ending is one of the most magical things written from Chopin; 10:22 to End But the whole composition is a miracle itself

[@Lucmercurius]

Indeed. He brings all the textures and melodies togheter in a godlike harmony. Chopin was, at least for me, the greatest composer that ever lived.

[@ricard0720]

Beautifully played by Seong-Jin Cho, and a very nice quality recording by DG! Thanks for the upload!

[@m.y433]

다른분 연주한거 듣다가 들으니 다른곡 같네요 사람도 곡도 연주도 너무 사랑스럽다

[@virginiabuhn9719]

With any performance by Seong-Jin Cho, of course the greatest enjoyment comes from LISTENING, hearing how he is able to communicate the thoughts and feelings of each composer. But another joy comes from WATCHING him, seeing how even the most challenging passages are delivered with the utmost precision and ease. What a rare combination of supreme artistry and magnificent technique! Thank you, Cho, DG and KZbin for making this available to us!!

[@fantasticcho6811]

I agree with you.

!Excelente performance!. Muy buena grabación de Deutsche Grammophon. El señor Cho ha sido premiado en varios concursos de piano, entre ellos el primer lugar en el Concurso Chopin 2015. Ya pertenece a una élite de pianistas jóvenes que aseguran un futuro prometedor para la música clásica. Congratulaciones

[@de3ygd4y85]

어쩜 노트 하나하나가 저리 탱글탱글할까.. 강렬하지만 매우 부드럽고.. 조성진은 알파요 오메가🎵

Beautifully played, and what a great recording technique!

[@deutschegrammophon]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@erlinhld8745]

Unüberbietbare Meisterschaft.....es ist nicht möglich, das besser zu spielen, nur anders...! Wenn man "alles" gehört hat, kehrt man wieder zu diesen Kompositionen zurück, wie zu Rilke, und freut sich, dass "das" immer noch nicht besser geht als damals. Schumann ausgenommen, ein wunderbarer Zeitgenosse Chopins, nicht besser, aber sehr, sehr gut. Aber seitdem? Welcher Klavierkomponist kommt da noch mit? Und Seong-Jin Cho bringt das auf eine gewisse Höhe, die erfreut. Bisher gefiel mir am besten die Version von Daniil Trifonov, aber ihm fehlt diese unglaubliche Leichtigkeit bei gleichzeitiger Leidenschaft und technischer Präzision, mit der Cho spielt. Schön, dass es das gibt.

[@Jy-gr3xz]

Thanks a lot DG !! It’s my favorite piece of this album! Love it 😄

[@solafide60]

This brilliant and beautiful scherzo in his dark years...? It's stargazingly beautiful and evokes all the pleasant memories.And Chopin's passion and hope for the music even in his agony! I could mentally shake hands with Chopin through Cho's playing. Thanks!!Seong jin and Dg!🌹🍀🌹

[@findelka1810]

Not as trolling or anything, am just purely interested from which year do you count as his ‘dark years’? This scherzo is from 1842. While there is a distinct break in his spirit after Mallorca, around 1838; I find only in his last years did his music become almost unbearably painful (from around 1846-47, the breakup with Sand).

[@solafide60]

@@findelka1810 Well.... I thought this piece was composed in those suffering years of his... still lingering chronic disease(not completely recovered) and experiencing his friend's death. Not sure...mistaken,maybe.I just wrote my personal thinking about this piece.

[@msb5495]
