Description:

Mayumi Kanekawa, born in Germany, is currently attracting worldwide attention for her brilliant prize-winning record that includes the second prize at the 2018 Ron Thibaud International Competition and the fourth prize at the following year's International Tchaikovsky Competition. The program is a classic one, with expressive Takemitsu and Debussy interspersed with masterpieces from the German Baroque and Classical periods. From the eye-catching Bach to the final Kreutzer, the music breathes and moves in a broad arc throughout. With Guarrera on the piano, Kanekawa's masterful Strado instrument showcased his overwhelming technique and sensitivity with fluidity and fluidity. Please listen to the appearance of a shining new star. (C)RS
