The winner of the 17th International Chopin Piano Competition in 2015, he is set to release the new album, titled, "Chopin: Piano Concerto No. 2 Scherzi," with Deutsche Grammophon, covering Chopin's "Piano Concerto No. 2" and four Scherzos.
It has been a little over a year since he released his last album, "The Wanderer," featuring pieces by Schubert, Berg and Liszt, in May of last year. Deutsche Grammophon's parent company, Universal Music, has said that this new album is Cho's first recording of Chopin's "Piano Concerto No. 2."
The digital album and a deluxe edition to be released exclusively online in Korea will include an additional three works, "Etude Op. 10, No. 12," "Impromptu Op. 29, No. 1" and "Nocturne, Op. 9, No.2."
Also featured on this album is the London Symphony Orchestra led by conductor Gianandrea Noseda, who also took part in Cho's first studio-recorded album in 2016.
