Seong Jin Cho (조성진) – Chopin: Nocturne in C sharp minor No. 20 Op.Posth. Concert 2017.
How fortunate you are, Dolly! My exposure so far is only through recordings, and I am enjoying listening to Seong Jin Cho (almost!) as much as Thierry de Brunhoff – and I never thought anyone could come close. 😊
We have annual Chopin festivals here, so we are privileged to listen to the best. De Brunoff is superb, of course, but please enjoy the magnificent Bella: https://youtu.be/OUQKa2DcLf4?si=rJvTFl3zL9q38vSe
She is 96 now and still plays concerts!
The pleasure is mine, dear friend. I’ve been a “Bella fan” since my early teenage years, when she came to Odessa, and my mother took me to her concert. It was breathtaking!

Thank you! I love the Chopin Nocturnes. They are all so soothing to me. Have a great week ahead.

I’ve heard him before and consider him one of the best Chopin players. The delicate tremolos building to a powerful crescendo are superb.
