About the album

"I love to make my music as pure as possible and I also love to give an honest impression to the listener. These days a lot of musicians are making very complex and difficult music, which (although much of it is great music that I genuinely admire) I sometimes feel has something of the circus about it. Maybe this comes from my inability to play like that, but musical acrobatics have never spoken to me and I have always felt I should take a different approach - one which doesn’t emphasise technical prowess, but rather, focuses on serving the compositions and my ideas behind them.

We were all children once though, and we shouldn’t forget what that was like. Sometimes we should again think the way we did when we were children and see all the wonderful things in life that were once the only things we saw.

During the creation this album, I often took myself back to my childhood - where everything and anything seemed possible. I hope this comes across in my music and that it can make some people happy. I hope it will make people think about the things that inspired me when writing each composition." 
- Soo Cho in the linernotes of the CD 'Little Prince'
  • Als kind was Soo Cho gefascineerd door het boek De Kleine Prins van Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
  • Deze cd is een muzikale reis terug naar de kinderjaren waarin álles mogelijk was en puurheid en ongecompliceerdheid boventoon voerden
  • "I love to make my music as pure as possible and I also love to give an honest impression to the listener" - Soo Cho
  • "Her cd is all about space, rest and pure beautiful sound" - Jazzism over Soo Cho's vorige cd 'Prayer'
  • Soo Cho's composities zijn bloedmooi en haar puurheid en bescheidenheid net zo
Klischees existieren nicht ganz ohne Grund: Soo Cho lernte in S�dkorea ab dem 3. Lebensjahr intensiv das Piano-Spiel. Nur so ist ihre �berragende Technik zu erkl�ren. Seit knapp 10 Jahren lebt sie in Holland, studierte bei Gr��en wie Bert van den Brink und Rob van Bavel. 'Little Prince? ist eine Hommage an ihr Lieblingsbuch von St. Exupery - das wir auch alle kennen.
