Mozart: The Complete Piano Sonatas Vol. 1 – Jae-Hyuck Cho

Welcome to the first volume of my Mozart Piano Sonata recordings. When I began this journey, I wanted to see if I could play Mozart’s piano music as if it were sung – not confined by the idea of being “pure” or “delicate,” but alive, breathing, and vividly expressive, like his operas. To me, Mozart’s keyboard writing is inseparable from his vocal world. His sonatas contain dialogue, wit, and drama – characters who love, tease, and suffer. Each phrase seems to ask not for perfection, but for truth. I hope this recording captures that spirit of Mozart speaking, laughing, and sighing through the piano’s voice.
Warmly, Jae-Hyuck Cho
