Seong-Jin Cho: The Wanderer (USA-import)
The Romantic theme of the wanderer, the free spirit undertaking a journey into the self, runs through Seong-Jin Cho's latest solo album. The globetrotting Korean pianist's programme includes two monuments of the 19th-century repertoire - Schubert's "Wanderer" Fantasy and Liszt's Piano Sonata in B minor. Set for international release by Deutsche Grammophon on 3 April 2020, The Wanderer also contains Alban Berg's Piano Sonata Op. 1, a single-movement work of extraordinary intensity.
