Seong-Jin Cho plays Ravel: Piano Masterpieces

Ravel’s piano music represents one of the most important bodies of work composed for the instrument in the first half of the 20th century: a collection of masterpieces that contain the distilled essence of this great composer’s art. And few pianists today are better equipped to tackle them than Seong-Jin Cho, a musician whose art marries apparently effortless technical brilliance with sensitivity, imagination and unfailing musicality. Filmed in concert at New York’s legendary Carnegie Hall, he here presents three favourite Ravel piano masterpieces – Gaspard de la nuit, Valses nobles et sentimentales and Le Tombeau de Couperin – alongside the delicate Prelude in A minor.
