Description:
Sawano Studio is pleased to introduce a new talent that we have fallen in love with. She is Naoko Sakata, a 27-year-old female pianist. Why did we fall in love with her? Representative Yoshiaki Sawano says, "Her piano sound is just amazing. She has an interesting way of expressing herself, and once, after the rehearsal of a self-initiated concert, she was impressed by the sound of the piano, saying, "Pianos sound like this! After having listened to a lot of piano jazz, he is now in a position to introduce this and that to others. I should say that it is a pureness to the point of defenselessness. That is why we can trust his ear for "sound. His saying "amazing" means that he is not just a guy. I'll try to let it slide, but Sakata (from Nara Prefecture) is enrolled in the improvised music department of the Gothenburg School of Music in Sweden, and has been recognized in numerous competitions. He has been recognized in numerous competitions. But what we do at school is just study. That's not what we want to know. However, when I listened to the actual recorded performance, I thought that it was indeed amazing. As I have said many times before, technology is only a means to an end. No matter how good the technique is, if the imagination to be expressed is poor, it will only produce poor music.How about Sakata? What unfolds is a kaleidoscope of sound that oscillates between reality and fantasy (as can be imagined from the titles of the songs), pushing the possibilities of the piano trio format. The beautiful and deep soundscape may be a daydream you have never experienced before. There is nothing more important to a great artist than his or her first album, so this is a work that you should definitely listen to. Text by Hiiragi Kitami (from the liner notes) Sawano Kobo
