Sensational Pianist Shares His Love for Handel on 180g Double LP!
Each Work Is Brilliantly Full of Character & Life!

The sensational South Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho shares his love for an often neglected corner of the keyboard repertoire: Handel's keyboard suites. Each suite is brilliantly characterful and brimming with life, and Cho has selected his three absolute favorites to play in full. Another lover of Handel's keyboard suites was Johannes Brahms - so Cho pairs the suites with the later composer's spectacular Handel Variations op. 24.

His are powerful readings of the suites, with great variety in articulation and tempo. At times, one thinks of Glenn Gould; Cho is much more sparing in his use of the pedal, but he is that commanding and charismatic. This is a strong program, brilliantly executed, and it marks the arrival of Cho in the pianistic top rank.
