About this product
The Japanese-born pianist Kenji Miura, winner of the 2019 Long-Thibaud-Crespin Competition in Paris, ponders on the issue of identity, combining music of the French school with two pieces by Toru Takemitsu, a Japanese composer strongly influenced by French composers and by the Second Viennese School. The main works on the album are Franck's Prélude, Fugue et Variation, Ravel's Valses nobles et sentimentales and Debussy's Six épigraphes antiques. Born in Kobe in 1993, Kenji Miura studied in the UK and in Berlin, where he is now based. InchThis album is a reflection of my own personal struggle with identity,Inch he writes. InchWe live in an increasingly multi-ethnic and multicultural society - my torn-between-worlds feeling is shared by many around the world. This is my small musical letter to all those struggling with the many aspects of identity - a concept that should help us embrace who we are and our complicated, beautiful lives.Inch

Arthur Grumiaux (1921-1986) was one of the most important exponents of the so-called Franco-Belgian school of violin playing. He had a pure, refined and elegant performance style and his tone had a beautiful bloom that served him well particularly in Mozart. He had an admirable technical facility that projected assurance and ease, with a clean articulation and a calm flamboyance. Arthur Rubinstein wrote of grumiaux InchOne of the great interpreters... Mozart playing brings tears to my eyes.Inch Grumiaux was a Inchcomplete musicianInch. Like Oistrakh, Menuhin and Heifetz, he regularly combined solo playing with chamber music. In particular, the InchGrumiaux TrioInch was active on stage and in recordings for many years. Boris Schwartz, in his survey of InchGreat Masters of the ViolinInch referred to Grumiaux's Inchsensuous warmthInch coupled with Inchnobility and uncompromising musicianship.Inch All items here are live performances, and some are first ever.
