Jae-Hyuck Cho; Royal Philharmonic Orchestra; Hans Graf - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 20 & 23

Acclaimed pianist and organist Jae-Hyuck Cho, one of the most active concert artists in South Korea, returns to Orchid with an album of piano concertos by Mozart, partnered by Hans Graf and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. For this new album Cho has created a programme which draws on two unique works featuring piano. The piano concerto No.20 in D minor, with its distinctive interactions between soloist and orchestra, is part of the pantheon of great Mozart works in D Minor, while the Piano Concerto No.23 in A major is known for a remarkable second movement in the lesser-explored key of F-sharp minor. In addition to being a soloist in recitals and appearing in front of large orchestras, Jae-Hyuck Cho is also widely known as a musical mediator, initiating new concert formats and making regular appearances on various broadcasting formats. He has been described as a musician who is nearing perfection with an extraordinary breadth of expression, flawless technique, composition, sensitivity, intelligence, insightful and detailed playing without exaggeration.
