Description:

Superb! "Twelve Exercises in Minor Keys"! Amlan's shocking collection of his own compositions!　Marc-André Amrand, the "super virtuoso pianist" of the century, has conquered a succession of extremely difficult pieces by Alkan, Godowsky, Kapustin, and others, with a virtuosity that cannot be considered a human feat. Amrand, who has astonished audiences with his numerous superbly crafted works, will be challenging himself, and no one else, here. The recording of the complete works of "12 Exercises in Minor Keys," the epic work of "Composer Amran," which has already been the talk of the town among piano fans on the Internet, has finally been released!　Amran's "12 Exercises in Minor", completed in 2009 after 25 years of planning and composition, was inspired by Alkan's difficult "12 Exercises in Minor, Op.39", which includes "Symphony for Solo Piano" and "Concerto for Solo Piano", Its level of difficulty is now on another level.The "Chopin Etudes" and "La Campanella," which have been reborn as even more difficult pieces, as well as his own "Grotesque Toccata" and "Preludes and Fugues," will surely have an unprecedented impact on the audience. Amurán's music played by Amurán" will surely have an unprecedented impact! The great appeal of this collection of Amuran's own compositions is that you can enjoy not only the "12 Exercises" but also "Theme and Variations," which is a message to his fiancée, Kathy Fuller, and other pieces by Amuran to the fullest extent. The "super virtuoso pianist" Marc-André Amrand pushes the limits of piano performance by human hands! This is one of the biggest breakthroughs in Amran's recording history! Tokyo M-Plus
