When it shimmers and sparkles, when it is transparent and intense and at the same time radiates in all colors, then it quickly becomes clear who is sitting at the piano: the charismatic sound magician Seong-Jin Cho. Cho is a superstar in his home country of South Korea. In fact, he even enjoys pop status there, as you read about him time and again. Seong-Jin Cho can only shake his head at this. He is certainly not a pop star, says the pianist, who now lives in Berlin, in an interview with BR KLASSIK: "To be honest, I'm not interested in fame at all. What I want is to play concerts!" You believe him!
