Description:
Kazune Shimizu’s 30th Anniversary Debut Album. Liszt: Piano Sonatas! In 2011, Kazune Shimizu celebrated the 30th anniversary of her debut. A pianist who is, in both name and reality, one of Japan’s leading artists, she has finally recorded Liszt’s piano sonatas—works that demand the highest levels of expressiveness, structural integrity, and every musical element among Romantic piano sonatas. Even among Liszt’s works—which are often perceived as overly technical—these sonatas demand exceptionally high technical skill. Shimizu’s performance, however, transcends that level, channeling all her technical prowess into the beauty of Liszt’s music. Her harmonic expression, grounded in a deep understanding of the musical structure, the beauty of the pianissimo in the recitative, the clear articulation of voices in the fugue, and his uniquely clear tone—one of Shimizu’s charms, dynamic yet never straining—all come together to bring Liszt’s music to life with ease, giving the technically demanding “Sonata in B minor,” which demands great diversity, a more three-dimensional expression. In the Petrarch Sonnet and the Consolation, Shimizu’s natural expression, combined with her unique tone, conveys the charm of Liszt’s miniatures. In the casual “pauses” between phrases, one catches a glimpse of Shimizu’s performance—as if she were smiling and engaging in a dialogue with Liszt’s music. From these exquisite performances—which could not be achieved without Shimizu’s witty personality—one can even sense her deep affection for Liszt. This new album distills Kazune Shimizu’s many years of performance experience, allowing listeners to truly appreciate her well-rounded balance, both technically and musically. Octavia Records
