Mayuko Kamio

Description:

[Best Classics 100] In June 2007, Mayuko Kamio won the first prize in the violin section of the 13th International Tchaikovsky Competition held in Moscow, and her accomplishment made her a world-famous artist. Recorded the following year, this debut album captures the essence of Kamio's true virtuosity, and includes not only the Tchaikovsky works she played to great acclaim at the competition, but also masterpieces for violin that demand extremely high skill and deep musicality. Kamio brings out a wide variety of tones and sounds from these works, and the audience can fully enjoy the fascination of listening to the violin as an instrument. ◇Blu-spec CD2 / Year of recording: March 16-19, 2008 / Location: ZOK-Haus, Zurich
