Description:
A new milestone for the soulful pianist Junko Urayama! Dazzling musical pleasure...an invitation to the open sky...not many performances can lift the listener's spirits like this one. Junko Urayama's piano concertos by Chopin and Rachmaninoff. The presence of the piano was overwhelming, from the massive bass notes that seemed to ring out, to the high notes that sparkled as if stars were falling from the sky. The gradation of the music is nothing short of brilliant. The dazzling musical pleasure was thus born. This is the birth of an album that you should always have by your side and listen to with great care.
