Seong-Jin Cho Interpretiert Beethovens Fünftes Klavierkonzert by Janáček, Bartók, Beethoven, Sat 15 Márt 2025, Ó (2025/2025), Seoltóir Jakub Hrůša, Berliner Philharmonie, Berlin, Germany

Aleady as a child, artist in Residence Seong-Jin Cho was impressed by “the brilliant and dramatic expression” of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5. His view has since evolved, he says: “This music is not only fiery, but also lyrical, deep and broad”. He will perform the work with Jakub Hrůša, chief conductor of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra. The Concerto for Orchestra, which shifts between melancholy and joie de vivre, is also one of Béla Bartók’s most popular works. Leoš Janáček’s folk suite from the opera Osud (Fate), on the other hand, is a rarely performed.
