Description:

This is the debut album by Jitsukawa Kaze, a young piano virtuoso who won the third prize at the 2015 Ron Thibaud-Crespin International Competition. The songs on this album are new session recordings of the pieces that stirred the audience at the competition to a frenzy of excitement, and their earnest, unadorned, royal pianism foreshadows his flight to the rank of a master. Jitsukawa's pianism, which always pursues the essence of the art of music while maintaining the styles of classical, modern, and contemporary music, is a universal beauty that transcends time and national borders.
