She has captivated audiences around the world with her overwhelming presence and rich musicality, and to mark her 70th birthday in 2018, she is releasing a collection of French music. The music is delicate, nuanced, and soft. The Fauré Violin Sonata is her first recording. This piece, written at the earliest stage of Fauré's chamber music, is a masterpiece with flowing and uplifting music, but also with the profundity of his later works. She pours a tender eye throughout the piece, meticulously playing the melody, paying close attention to every phrase. Her dialogue with the piano is also superb. In particular, the singing of the melody in the last movement was exquisitely timed and heartfelt, as only a woman who knows everything about music can do. You can hear beautiful and majestic Fauré.Franck's sonatas are more solidly structured and full of firm musical ideas, but her performance is not a minute too short, and the entire work is meticulously constructed. The other four pieces, each with a different nuance, are as exciting as a series of paintings. The instrument used is a Stradivarius named after the Archduke of Bavaria, "King Maximilian (1702)," Warner Music Japan.
