Jinhyung Park - Jinhyung Park Piano Recital - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A graduate of the Toho Gakuen School of Music and the Feliks Nowowiejski Academy of Music in Bydgoszcz, Arishima has given numerous recitals in Japan and Poland and also performed with orchestras including the Kyushu Symphony Orchestra, Sendai Philharmonic Orchestra and Cracow Chamber Orchestra. For her debut recording, the Japanese artist offers a combination of two very distant worlds the Romantic embodied by the music of Chopin and the twentieth century represented by the work of Karol Szymanowski, Kaziemierz Serocki and Arishima's compatriot Toru Takemitsu.

Young-Choon Park began her career as a child prodigy at age seven. Today as an adult with a fully mature talent she embarks on an ambitious recital series for Intim Musik. The first of the series features Park masterfully exploring favorites like Mozart's Sonata No. 11 in a major (K331) and Beethoven's Sonatas Nos. 17 and 23.

Studio drummer Max Albright's only session as a leader. A variety of top L.A.-based musicians (including trumpeter John Anderson, Buddy Collette and William Green on reeds and pianist Gerald Wiggins) are heard from on the octet date. Most of the charts are by Buddy Collette.
