International Chopin Piano Competition-winner Seong-Jin Cho is one of the world鈥檚 most exciting young pianists, praised for his 鈥榬emarkable technique鈥� and the elegance of his interpretations. Who better to perform Chopin鈥檚 Piano Concerto No. 1 鈥� a heady combination of brilliance and poetry, its slow movement a vision of 鈥榓 beloved landscape on a moonlit spring night鈥�. Could that landscape perhaps be Italian? Italy鈥檚 warmth and summer sunshine suffuse both Elgar鈥檚 bucolic In the South overture and Strauss鈥檚 tone-poem Aus Italien, each inspired by a visit to the country. The Philharmonia Orchestra is led by its Finnish-born Principal Conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali.
