About this product
Celebrated Japanese pianist Yu Kosuge embarks on an exciting project four releases inspired by the Greek concept of the four elements, Water, Fire, Air, Earth. Many composers have been drawn to the properties of these elements when seeking inspiration for their music, but Kosuge's theme goes deeper, dating back to her successful Beethoven cycle InchWhen you understand that Shakespeare's plays, read ardently by Beethoven, refer to Greek mythology, or that Beethoven himself composed some works based on the Prometheus myth, you would know that an artist who is searching for human nature would surely look to Greek mythology or philosophy...Inch In Water, Yu Kosuge interprets a rich array of repertoire, from Liszt and Wagner to acclaimed contemporary composer Dai Fujikura. The 'barcarolle' takes it's rocking rhythms from the motion of a boat we hear examples by Chopin and Fauré, as well as Venetian Gondola 'Songs Without Words' by Mendelssohn. Album Tracks 1.

Prometheus defied the gods to steal fire and give it to humanity. The ancient titan's priceless gift, used since for good and ill, has never lost it's fascination. Yo Kosuge, praised for her immaculate technique and penetrating artistry, explores creative responses to fire in the second volume of her Four Elements project. The Berlin-based Japanese pianist's latest Orchid Classics album moves from pieces filled with nostalgic warmth to others animated by hell's tormenting flames. InchBy showing these many different aspects of fire, I want to lead the listener through different stories as told by composers, from the Romantic to contemporary periods,Inch comments Yu Kosuge. Four Elements Fire is built around compositions written during the First World War, each hallmarked by harmonic daring and searing emotions. It's tracklist includes a selection of Max Reger's sublime Traume am Kamin, fireside dreams preserved in the form of musical miniatures; Vers la flamme, among Alexander Scriabin's final compositions and one his most intense; Debussy's breathtaking Feux d'artifice, a pyrotechnic tour de force; and the Ritual Fire Dance from Manuel de Falla's ballet El amor brujo. Yu's programme also embraces earlier works. She opens with 'January At the Fireside' from Tchaikovsky's The Seasons before unleashing the scorching energy of Liszt's Symphonic Poem No.5 'Prometheus'. Four Elements Fire concludes with six excerpts from Stravinsky's The Firebird, the work that made it's young composer's name. Album Tracks 1.
