Debussy

• The 2015 Chopin Competition winner Seong-Jin Cho explores the music of Claude Debussy on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the great French composer’s death.
• After two best-selling all-Chopin releases, it’s fitting that Seong-Jin dedicates his 3rd CD to some of Debussy’s most popular piano works.
• Chopin, who spent his main creative years in Paris, was considered by Debussy to be the most important omposer of his time, and for Seong-Jin’s, whose formative years have been spent in Paris, Debussy is a composer with whom he feels a very strong affinity.
• For his new album Seong-Jin has brought together some of Debussy’s most popular works and cycles such as Images I & II”, Suite Bergamasque (including the beloved “Clair de Lune”, well-known from various oundtrack features) and Children’s Corner, which contains favourites of every young aspiring piano student.
• Debussy marked the beginning of Seong-Jin’s career, as Children’s Corner was on the program of his first ever appearance on stage.
