14th International Tchaikovsky Competition Round 1 Tchaikovsky - Dumka, Op. 59 Piano : Seong-jin Cho (He was 17 years old, 3rd Prize) Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, June 18, 2011
Seong-Jin Cho, I believe, must be still a favourite of Valery Gergieve, seeing that the young pianist goes pretty often to Moscow to perform, even in these days. Anyway, it would be interesting if Seong-Jin would play the above piece now, after 10 years and listerners can see and feel the difference, if any' between the 2.
In 2011 Seong-Jin Cho was already 17-year-old. The 16-year-old Grygory Sokolov won the gold medal in 1966, he remains the competition’s youngest ever laureate.
@@scriabinist434 Maybe they changed it some time after Sokolov's win? Gergiev himself said he changed the age requirement for Cho. english.chosun.com/m/svc/article.html?contid=2012022901008 But yeah technically Sokolov is still the youngest laureate
조성진 부모님은 아들이 얼마나 대단해보이고 이쁠까요 .. 초3때부터 진로 딱! 정해서 그 때부터 한 우물만 판 게 너무 대견해요. 난 초3때 피아노 다니고 있었긴 했지만 친구들과 놀았는데ㅜㅜ 성진님은 그 때부터 일반인의 삶을 포기하고 너무 열심히 달려왔으니 지금 이렇게 크게 성공했겠죠 ?
Acuna770 - Yes, truly. Because Pletnev is co-author, co-thinker. He is not "perfomer", "executor"... Perhaps no one, like Pletnev, can carry on a dialogue with an instrument like that.
