Fumiaki Miura

Description:

The youngest ever winner of the Hanover International Violin Competition, one of the world's three major violin competitions, the violinist was described as "an astonishing talent whose performance has sucked the life out of the Hanover International Violin Competition". His performance was described as "astonishing, and it sucked everything out of the Hanover International Violin Competition". The overwhelming virtuosity and devilishly inspired musicality that shocks listeners were disclosed here. The dense ensemble with Itamar Golan, who has been called the world's best acompanist, is also a masterpiece; the moment I heard the performance by Fumiaki Miura, a rising star who dashingly appeared in the 21st century, I was convinced that "the original devilish charm of the violin" had returned. Although his appearance still retains the innocence of a boy, once the performance began, his brazen and luminous sound, which is far from Japanese, his large scale performance design, and the intensity with which he approaches the inner work convinced all listeners of the fact that he is a rare talent. Golan's piano also responds to Miura's sound, deepening its mystique. Even in one scene where Golan skillfully accelerates Miura to help him run, the true joy of chamber music is in full force.As the performance heats up, the spirit of improvisation increases, finally renewing the desire to revive the demonic world.
