Every year, he continues to give recitals at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan Small Hall, and has released a CD of these concerts on the SONARE label. This album is a live recording of the recital "Takeyuki Lai / Piano Recital 2023" held on October 9, 2023. Schubert and Beethoven are the main repertoire of his performance. His delicate and refined tone has been further refined, and he performs with a particularly brilliant tone. Schubert is played with a gentle sound that seems to speak to the audience, Beethoven with a majestic performance, and Ravel with a variety of tones that are unique to Ladai. He says that Schubert and Beethoven, who were active in Vienna, are very close to his heart. When he walks around the city, he can feel their breath everywhere. In this performance, Ladai successfully combined the sense of familiarity derived from this feeling with the sublimity of the works. (Akemi Hara, from the liner notes) (King International)
