Description:
Ten years after his death. The complete piano works of Mutsuro Shishido, who made great contributions to the world of contemporary Japanese composition, are now available! Includes Japanese obi commentary! Mutsuro Shishido was born in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, and studied under Tomojiro Ikeuchi, Akira Ifukube, and others at Tokyo University of the Arts before going to France. He studied under André Jolivet and Olivier Messiaen at the Conservatoire de Paris, and was decisively influenced by Jolivet's music and philosophy in particular. His musical ideas and works were composed in constant contemplation of two issues: how to confront or fuse Western music and Japanese identity, and how to reach the universality of Beethoven's music, which he most admired, as a Japanese living in the modern age. His works have a stately dignity, refusing to be easily influenced by nationalism or exoticism. Although Shishido's works are not numerous, they are all masterpieces that have been carefully studied and refined. This album contains all of Shishido's piano works and offers a glimpse into the essence of his art.Toccata II, a suite for keyboard written at the request of Akiko Miyazawa and inspired by his signature Chichibu Hayashi music performed at the famous Chichibu Night Festival, is a particular highlight. Pianist Akina Yura was awarded the Presser Prize while studying for her Doctor of Musical Arts at the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, where she studied, performed, and recorded Mutsuro Shishido's piano works, and as of 2017 she is actively performing in the United States, Europe, and Japan, as well as teaching younger students at her alma mater, the University of Miami. All of the various Japanese folk music elements deeply inherent in Shishido's music have been intelligently reworked and refined by Yura, and reborn with a luminous vitality. If you like Bartók, Stravinsky, Jolivet, Khachaturian, Akira Ifukube, and Teizo Matsumura, you should definitely listen to Shishido in the future! Tobu Land System
