Description:
From Wagner’s infinite melodies to elegant chansons. A world of transcriptions where every piece takes center stage!
Kotaro Fukuma’s 21st album, *The World of Piano Transcriptions*, features piano arrangements of a wide variety of musical works from across time and cultures, ranging from art songs to opera, ballet, and chansons. The album features the grand piece *"Prelude to Tristan und Isolde" (Wagner)*, arranged by Fukuma himself; *"Ave Maria" (Bach-Gounod)* and *"Danse des Heures" (Ponchielli)*, arranged by the late Walter Flemings, whose sheet music publication Fukuma supported; "Recollections of Turandot" (Puccini) by Leslie Howard, a Liszt scholar, and Fukuma’s signature repertoire, the "Chanson Medley," which has been requested by fans worldwide—all 14 tracks are star-studded highlights.
