P.I. Tchaikovsky and M. Ravel

“I’ve loved Tchaikovsky’s music ever since I can remember. And, like first love, it will never die,” said conductor Semyon Bychkov. As a student, he became an enthusiast of the composer and studied his music in detail. His approach to Tchaikovsky is a combination of a thorough analysis of the score and the ability to reveal its emotional essence. That is why Bychkov’s interpretations are so highly valued by musicians and listeners.

The same can be said about the Korean pianist Song Jin Cho in his attitude to the music of Maurice Ravel.
