Keiko Shichijo - Solo Keyboard Works - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Fortepianist Keiko Shichijo presents a radically fresh view of Mozart's keyboard music. Neal Peres Da Costa, Professor of Historical Performance at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music writes InchKeiko Shichijo has been inspired to reimagine a Mozart that is highly expressive, rhetorical, and even occasionally volatile.Inch Shichijo's brilliant Mozart was recorded on an original Frère et Soeur Stein d'Augsbourg à Vienne dated 1802. Mr. Da Costa calls the instrument Inchabsolutely ravishing in sound, with a clarity, crispness, and resonance that is ideally suited to Mozart's piano writing.Inch Keiko Shichijo is a special voice in both the Classical and new music worlds. Her traditional Japanese sensibilities combined with her knowledge of European historical performance practices shape her unique vision, and this is reflected in her feeling for the music, the instruments and the story behind them.
