Having loved the French composer since childhood and immersed himself in him while studying at the Paris Conservatoire, Cho has chosen to mark the 150th anniversary of the composer&rsquo;s birth in 2025 by recording his complete solo piano music and the two piano concertos. The pianist has always felt a close connection with the French piano literature and found himself fully discussing the challenges of the solo works, pointing to the composer&rsquo;s orchestral sound and meticulous attention to detail. &ldquo;Ravel really knew what he wanted, so I try to follow his specific markings,&rdquo; he says. His insightful performance of Ravel&rsquo;s works underlines Cho's statue as one of today&rsquo;s most elegant and accomplished pianists.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}">&nbsp;
The album is released digitally and on CD.

Seong-Jin Cho plays Ravel: The Complete Solo Piano Works, live from Carnegie Hall on STAGE+

Seong-Jin Cho, a musician whose art marries apparently effortless technical brilliance with sensitivity, imagination and unfailing musicality, presents a highly-anticipated concert streaming live from <a href="https://www.stage-plus.com/video/live_concert_9HKNCPA3DTN66PBIEHFJGC9M" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carnegie Hall</a> on <a href="https://www.stage-plus.com/video/live_concert_9HKNCPA3DTN66PBIEHFJGC9M" target="_blank" rel="noopener">STAGE+</a> on <a href="https://www.stage-plus.com/video/live_concert_9HKNCPA3DTN66PBIEHFJGC9M" target="_blank" rel="noopener">February 5th</a>, in which he presents <a href="https://www.stage-plus.com/video/live_concert_9HKNCPA3DTN66PBIEHFJGC9M" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ravel&rsquo;s solo piano works</a> complete in <a href="https://www.stage-plus.com/video/live_concert_9HKNCPA3DTN66PBIEHFJGC9M" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one single concert</a>.
Ravel&rsquo;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&rsquo;s art, running the gamut from touching simplicity to, in the formidable Gaspard de la Nuit, hair-raising virtuosity.&nbsp;
Seong-Jin Cho has always felt a close connection with the French piano literature, and found himself fully immersed in Ravel while studying at the Paris Conservatoire. Discussing the challenges of the solo works, he points to the composer&rsquo;s orchestral sound and meticulous attention to detail. &ldquo;Ravel really knew what he wanted, so I try to follow his specific markings,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;Miroirs, for example, is incredibly technically demanding. It&rsquo;s so sensitive and dramatic, full of imagination and colour &ndash; it&rsquo;s almost impossible to apply every marking, but I try my best!&rdquo;
