Description:
The term "composer-pianist" refers to composers who were themselves excellent pianists. They have created new language using advanced techniques that only the best players could have achieved, and have greatly expanded the possibilities of piano expression. However, many of their works have become "phantom pieces" that are rarely performed or recorded because of the high barriers posed by their chillingly difficult techniques. This CD contains such "ultimate piano music" by these composers. The compositions on this CD trace the genealogy of composers/pianists over three centuries from the first half of the 19th century to the 21st century in chronological order.The Hexameron, a unique collaboration in which six contemporary composers, including Liszt, Chopin, and Czerny, competed with each other to show off their skills; Thalberg, a strong rival of Liszt, known for his "Duel at the Piano"; Alkan, who produced works so innovative that it is hard to believe he was a contemporary of Chopin; Sorabji, an eccentric pianist who never published any of his works, including contemporary works; and the incredibly charismatic and brilliantly talented American pianist, Godowsky. Godowsky, a self-taught pianist who is considered one of the best pianists of all time and places; Sorabji, an eccentric who wrote terribly complex and lengthy works but never published them; Lewenthal, an American pianist with amazing charisma; and today, in the 21st century, the world's piano enthusiasts. Marc-André Amurand, who is making piano enthusiasts around the world go wild in the 21st century. The recordings of Sorabji, Lewenthal, and Amran are world-class treasures, and of course, the first recordings in Japan (with the exception of Thalberg, all the others are also first recordings in Japan). Nishimura's playing is not only skillful, but also has an outstanding sense of rhythm and color, and a delicately controlled tone quality that beautifully brings out the brilliance of piano music at its peak, which lies beyond the difficulty of the piece.
