Description:

Collection Album Vol. 21: The Graf Piano Collection Vol. 21 of the Hamamatsu Museum of Musical Instruments Collection Series features works by Schumann, Schubert, Mendelssohn, and others played on the 1820 Viennese fortepiano by Graf...19. This album is full of the mellow fragrance of the German Romanticism of the first half of the 19th century. Inspired by the words of this era, when literature and music had a strong relationship, Takako Ogura sings gracefully and with dignity the world depicted by sound. Following the highly acclaimed previous album "Beautiful Mendelssohn - On the Wings of Song" (Series Vol. 20), the charm of Graf's piano shines even brighter, as do the songs by Gi Fumi Hata.
