Description:

Presented by Yoshishige Tanaka, a master pianist highly praised by Pollini! Beethoven’s Piano Concertos No. 3 and No. 5 (“Emperor”) now available in piano sextet arrangements Recorded and produced by the acclaimed violinist Hisanari Sato! This collaboration among musicians brimming with ambition, a sense of purpose, and artistic curiosity not only vividly conveys the essence and charm of Beethoven’s music but also allows listeners to savor the unique appeal and enjoyment of this chamber music arrangement. (Masayoshi Iwashita) ★ Acclaimed pianist Yoshishige Tanaka records Beethoven’s Piano Concertos No. 3 and No. 5 in chamber music arrangements! This recording stems from a concert series featuring chamber music arrangements of Beethoven’s complete piano concertos, which Yoshishige Tanaka organized from 2010 to 2011. For the No. 3 and No. 5 (“Emperor”) concertos included here, he personally commissioned Japanese composers to create the arrangements. For the arrangements, a detailed analysis of the original scores was conducted, with the conditions that Beethoven’s spirit be respected and that the solo piano parts remain unaltered. The instrumentation for this recording—piano, two violins, viola, cello, and double bass—brilliantly recreates the original orchestration. The ensemble features the Quartet Excelsior—a young string quartet renowned for both its popularity and artistic merit—along with Koji Akaike on double bass. Yoshishige Tanaka (Piano) Born in Tokyo in 1973. He studied at Toho Gakuen School of Music, its graduate school, the Cologne University of Music, and the Department of Contemporary Music and Chamber Music at its graduate school. In 2001, he took the seminar audition led by Maurizio Pollini at the Accademia Chigi in Italy; he was highly praised by Pollini and accepted into the program. Since then, he has been performing primarily in Japan. He has a particularly deep understanding of Beethoven’s music; since 2005, he has undertaken the challenge of performing Beethoven’s complete piano sonatas, and from 2010 to 2011, he performed chamber music arrangements of all five of Beethoven’s concertos as part of this project. Praised for “satisfying both a sense of scale and the expression of musical ideas” (Music Friend magazine), he is considered one of the most promising Japanese pianists of the future. He has released a CD album with violinist Hisanari Sato. King International
