YAMANAKA ATSUSHI

Description:

Atsushi Yamanaka is a musician whose activities never cease. His activities are diverse, and as a composer, arranger, and pianist, he has earned the trust of many well-known artists in Japan and abroad. In recent years, he has performed with top musicians such as Dai Miyata and Kohei Ueno, appeared as a soloist with orchestras, and was selected to perform the theme music for "News Station" composed by Yudai Bando. This album is the first solo album by Atsushi Yamanaka to be released nationwide, and is built around the theme of "Chopin," the royal road for pianists, from the viewpoint of Yamanaka, who is both a composer and a pianist. The album is built on the theme of "Chopin", the king of pianists, from the viewpoint of Yamanaka, who is both a composer and a pianist. The album weaves through Chopin's life, from rare works such as "Polonaise in A flat major" composed in his childhood to masterpieces representing his later years such as "Polonaise fantastique" and "Funakka", while effectively weaving in his own compositions that Yamanaka himself composed under Chopin's influence. The programming is also interwoven effectively with Yamanaka's own compositions inspired by Chopin. (C)RS
