Debut album of Marina Kondo, a pianist of Liszt's piano calligraphy, which is unraveled side by side with the second draft. It is released on her own label. The album includes the first draft of \"Obermann's Valley,\" an extremely difficult piece for which there are almost no recordings. Inspired by Senancourt's anguished novel \"Obermann,\" Liszt's piano piece \"Obermann's Valley\" was first written as one of the pieces in \"Album des Travellers,\" S.160, which was revised and included in \"Year of the Pilgrim,\" S.165. There are quite a few differences between the two drafts. The first draft has a lot of notes and is intensely difficult to play. The first manuscript has many notes and is very difficult to play. The score makes full use of pianism that pushes the limits, and it is no wonder that it is not often taken up. On the other hand, the second manuscript has a cleaner impression, but the core of the music emerges clearly, and one senses a shining refinement in the writing style. This is a very valuable and interesting album that allows the listener to compare the two and even listen to the Ossia in the second manuscript.The performance is also noteworthy for its excellence. Not only are all the notes sounded properly, but also the literary aspect of the piece is captured, and the flow of the melody and the balance of the sound are skillfully controlled. ＜Kondo began piano lessons at the age of 3, and received absolute pitch education from the age of 1.5 years old.
