星屑の冷めたさに似て菊膾 （大木あまり）
食用の菊をさっと茹でて冷水にさらし、三杯酢で和えた菊膾（きくなます）。新潟や山形の「もってのほか」「柿のもと」が有名です。その冷たさとしゃきしゃきとした歯ざわりに星屑を感じ、思いは遠く星空へ向かいます。（季語＝菊膾）
・・・数日前、金山の古い家に母といる夢を見た。久しぶりに会えてうれしかった・・・。母が所蔵している本の話をしたように思うけど、忘れてしまった。また、会いたいものだ。目の手術をして「危機」があったので見たのかもしれない。

圧倒的才能、さらに極まる！繊細な抒情を完璧な美音で奏でる名手による至高のショパン。
2015年第17回ショパン国際ピアノ・コンクールで優勝した名手による待望のショパン・アルバム。
4曲のスケルツォは、ショパンの全創作の中でも、その激しさや深刻な曲調において非常に際立った世界を形作ってる。ピアノ協奏曲第2番は、若きショパンが満を持して作曲した最初の大作で、随所に創意が凝らされ、片思いの初恋の想いを込めた第２楽章が有名な非常にロマンティックな作品。チョ・ソンジンは完璧にコントロールされたタッチによる研ぎ澄まされた美音と、抑制の中から溢れる豊かな情感により、ショパン作品の情緒と美しさを最大限にひき出している。協奏曲は、2016年録音の「ショパン：ピアノ協奏曲第1番」でも好サポートを示したノセダ指揮ロンドン交響楽団との共演。(ユニバーサル ミュージック ジャパンより)
日本でも超有名だったのだ。知らなかったのは私のほう。10月に横須賀芸術劇場に来るはずだったとは驚き！！
2015年コンクールの最初のステージで弾いた幻想即興曲（「雪の降る街を」！）がこちら。
趙さんのピアノが素晴らしすぎて今回の参加者のピアノの影が薄れてしまう。反田恭平さんと「かてぃんCateen」角野隼人くんは応援してるけど。
Aurelia Maria After watching chopin competition 2021, I came back here again. I’m not a musician, just an ordinary person who enjoy music. But in my opinion this guy is the best of all. Thanks Cho for your magical sound. You made me falling in love with Chopin.
Summer Sonata Indeed, I fall in love with this song since I watch Chopin competition and Seong-Jin Cho plays it so beautiful that steals my heart away…
Frinna Lu Feel like reliving Cho’s version again after this year’s finals. No one in 2021 comes close to him.hi Although Bruce’s performance was excellent, this performance is definitely on another level.. Fastmoving but flowing like water.. Cho once said “at some point, I realized I was just singing and my hands were moving by it self”..
Jung Kim올해 콩쿠르 연주자들도 물론 훌륭하지만 조성진 연주 만큼의 완성도와 감동이 느껴지진 않더군요. 성진초는 정말 세기에 한번 나오기도 힘든 귀한 연주자인것 같아요. 올해 콩쿨 보다가 성진초 영상 보니 확실히 듣기 편안하고 천상의 소리인듯 아름답게 연주하는게 느껴지네요.
今年コンクール奏者たちももちろん素晴らしいですが、チョ・ソンジン演奏ほどの完成度と感動が感じられませんでしたね。ソンジンチョは本当に世紀に一度出るのも大変な貴重な演奏者のようです。今年のコンクールよりもソンジンチョの映像を見ると、確実に聞くのが楽で、天上の音のように美しく演奏するのが感じられますね。
Jane Bryan After watching the 2021 final round, this is still the best – the legendary performance for me. My teacher always says that don’t try to interpret the music, be the music and let it ring every bell in the flow of our emotions… And Cho did it excellently!
“Probably the greatest recorded version of this etude in history.”

Legendary German baritone Matthias Goerne, one of the world’s most renowned Lieder singers, is joined by pianist Seong-Jin Cho, a star of the younger generation in an album of late Romantic works by Richard Wagner, Hans Pfitzner and Richard Strauss.
“It’s almost impossible to describe the experience of exploring songs that speak so profoundly to what it is to be human with a great young performer like Seong-Jin Cho,” says Goerne.
The last in a set of four songs written as a wedding present for his wife, the soprano Pauline de Ahna, Richard Strauss’ enchanting “Traum durch die Dämmerung” highlights the unearthly light of Strauss’ writing.

The young South Korean pianist, who has recently recorded the four Scherzi, won the International Chopin Piano Competition in 2015 and now enjoys a flourishing recital and concert career. Among critical reactions to his playing, that of the Wall Street Journal is typical. ‘Cho is a master. He displayed an impressive variety of tonal colour and a remarkable technique, dispatched with jaw-dropping panache’.

Skill and spontaneity: Seong-Jin Cho at Wigmore Hall
By Roy Westbrook, 26 October 2021
Janáček’s Piano Sonata 1. X. 1905 “From the Street”, a two-movement torso of a sonata whose finale was destroyed and whose other movements were nearly lost also, makes a bold statement opening a recital.
It was provoked by tragic events in Brno concerning a protester killed demonstrating for the creation of a Czech University in the city. The composer sounds as if writing under direct pressure of the shock of the fatality – this is far from Wordsworth’s creative aim of “emotion recollected in tranquillity”. Janáček saw truth, not beauty, as the artistic goal. The sonata’s style, with characteristic folk-derived short motifs and even its longer themes fragmented, can sound more like a transcription than original piano music. Seong-Jin Cho’s immaculate playing at Wigmore Hall made it sound like real piano music alright, even if in so doing something of its terse, tragic, haunted quality was missed. But it is hardly his fault that it always feels so unfinished.
Ravel’s Gaspard de la nuit has different challenges, technical and stylistic, but Cho produced a most impressive account of the opening Ondine. The water sprite’s quiet oscillation in the right hand was not quite perfect initially, but after that the difficulties were all mastered in the service of the music and its picturesque poetic backdrop. Ravel wanted it “wedded closely to the poem’s framework” and made one player read all Aloysius Bertrand’s poems before learning Gaspard. He also spoke of the “suggestive magic” of the glissandi, where Cho drew the most exquisite, pearly sounds from his instrument. Le Gibet needs a very slow rock-steady pulse, observed by Cho even if its sans expression marking was not quite (how can it be in such a gothic horror piece with its tolling bell?). Scarbo was majestically done and though it might not need quite such a headlong tempo, Cho managed to play fast, accurately and above all, with a grip on the propulsive rhythm.
This gifted young South Korean pianist has recently recorded Chopin’s Four Scherzi and here made the idea of playing a second half with them all in sequence work live. The opening gesture and turbulent main theme of Scherzo no. 1 sounded here like a precursor of Gaspard, which in a way it is. The Polish carol in the trio sounded like balm, or calm, after the storm, beautifully phrased. The crucial silences in Scherzo no. 2 were tense. Between the crashing chords and rumbling first motif to set up the drama before the D flat melody made its entry is progress properly intense in Cho’s hands, his rubato<the temporary disregarding of strict tempo to allow an expressive quickening or slackening, usually without altering the overall pace.> as natural as breathing.
Scherzo no. 4, one of the master’s greatest works and one of the trickiest in the range of its moods to manage, was close to perfection. I rarely listen to discs of it, since they can’t come close to Richter in Carnegie Hall in the 1960s, but I might have to reconsider. The long melody in the middle – one of Chopin’s finest, no arguments – floated effortlessly out into the auditorium, casting a spell such as few artists achieve.
Cho has a remarkable technique (this programme has nowhere to hide), but also a temperament to match. If some aspects of his interpretations sounded here more spontaneous than settled, that is one reason we go to live concerts and why we will return to hear what such a talented young artist offers next. Someone still near the start of his career and already this remarkably accomplished will be well worth following, as his numerous compatriots in the audience knew long ago.

Seong-Jin Cho – Chopin: Impromptu No. 1 in A Flat Major, Op. 29 Listen to ‘Chopin: Piano Concerto No. 2 · Scherzi’: https://dgt.link/Cho-Chopin
With an overwhelming talent and innate musicality, @Seong-Jin Cho has made his mark as one of the consummate talents of his generation and most distinctive artists on the current music scene. His thoughtful and poetic, assertive and tender, virtuosic and colourful playing can combine panache with purity and is driven by an impressive natural sense of balance.
For his sixth and latest Deutsche Grammophon album, pianist @Seong-Jin Cho returns to the music of Frédéric Chopin with his Piano Concerto No. 2 and four Scherzi. The album features these best-loved works in interpretations characterised by thoughtful poetry and youthful ardour. 정말멎져요. 성진님.한국에서.연주하는것. 봽고싶어요.언제쯤오시려나.이렇게라도.자주!!

Kenがひょっこり訪ねてきた。「ここはいいなぁ。この眺めは別世界！」という。子どもに会うのはいつもうれしい。スパゲティを作った。サラダもスープも「いらない。時間がないから」といい、水だけ飲んで帰った。KGの小山学長さんへのインタビューの仕事で横浜へ。あ、それからメダカを職場で飼うのでそれをもらいに来たのだった。
上の階に住むお目めのかわいい坊や一家とも外で話をした。メダカの話。坊やはメダカの水槽を1，2，3と数えて、次に「ボク」と「女のコのイモウト」で家族は5人という。「ママは？」と訊いたら「あ、それなら 6」。「パパは？」「あ、もうひとつ、7だ」と言う。なんとかわいい！

民族の対立、衝突、他国による侵攻への抵抗を繰り返した道のり; アフガニスタンは山と砂漠に囲まれた内陸国だ。その歴史は、1747年にパシュトゥン人指導者アハマド・シャー・ドゥラーニが敵対していた各部族を統合しアフガン帝国を設立して以来、周囲の敵対する国々との戦争と外交によって形作られてきた。 TEXT
