Overview
The young South Korean pianist, who has recently recorded the four Scherzi, won the International Chopin Piano Competition in 2015 and now enjoys a flourishing recital and concert career. Among critical reactions to his playing, that of the Wall Street Journal is typical. ‘Cho is a master. He displayed an impressive variety of tonal colour and a remarkable technique, dispatched with jaw-dropping panache’.
