Mozart (Piano Concerto No. 20, K. 466; Sonatas, K. 281 & 332)

Seong-Jin Cho, winner of the 2015 International Chopin Competition, has long been steeped in the music of Mozart: "For me, Mozart has everything: his music has so many layers." For this album, Cho collaborates with Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe: perfect, sensitive partners in the dramatic D minor Concerto K. 466. Two major-key piano sonatas provide contrast: the joyful K. 281 and the technically demanding K. 332.
