Junichi Ito, who studied at the three major conservatories in France, Paris National, Lyon National, and Paris Ecole Normale, and won the Grand Prix at the international competitions in Chatou (France), Stefano Malizza (Italy), Mauro Paolo Monopoli (Italy), and Nice (France), has released his long-awaited second album. This is the long-awaited second album by Junichi Ito. Ito's refined interpretation and transparent tone, which can only come from a genuine French background, are the true essence of his music. Please enjoy the true spirit of his music, which is unrivaled. On the album \"L'espoir \"We are pleased to release our second album \"L'espoir\" and would like to thank once again all those who were involved in its production. The word \"L'espoir\" means \"hope\" or \"expectation\" in French, and I named the album \"L'espoir\" because I wanted to feel or find that in the songs. After the release of my debut album, I decided that my second album would focus exclusively on French works, and this time I have included works by the leading French composers Fauré, Debussy, and Ravel, as well as a work by Lavina, who was unknown at the time and performed in music salons. I have tried to express the French sensibility that I felt during my eight years of study in France, even if only a little, by expanding my imagination and working on a wide variety of tonal variations. The three leading French composers have completely different atmospheres and sound personalities, even though they are the same French people, and I have tried to express this clearly. Also, Lavina's piece is a piece with a light and familiar melody that was played in salons at the time, so I tried to play it with lightness and a story in mind. At times, we are in difficult times when we may lose hope, but we will never lose sight of the essence of the music, and we will continue to walk toward the future with music with high expectations. Junichi Ito (December 2023)Junichi Ito, the charm of his pianism--fullness of will and the art of sound modelingThe charm of a performer varies.Some pianists attract people with an impactful first impression, while others reveal their charms little by little each time they are heard. For first-time listeners, it is probably difficult to fully grasp the appeal of Ito's playing in a single performance. However, this does not mean that Ito's performances lack impact. The impact of Ito's performance will slowly permeate those who take the time to listen to it, just like rain soaking into the earth.
