(Tokihiko Umezu)\nYoung violinist Tatsuki Narita has consistently placed among the top finalists at the Queen Elisabeth International Competition, the Long-Thibaud International Competition, and the Sendai International Competition. While a live recording from the 2012 Queen Elisabeth International Competition (QEC2012ENC) has been released, this album marks his full-fledged solo debut. The program features the dazzlingly virtuosic “Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso,” Franck’s works, which pursue the utmost in beauty of tone, the challenging Fauré Violin Sonata No. 2, and, to conclude, Paganini’s virtuosic masterpieces—a program structured much like a one-night recital. It’s a magnificent debut album that has us eagerly anticipating his future success!\n\n“The first time I heard Narita play was when he was in middle school, at the All-Japan Student Music Competition, where he performed Saint-Saëns’ ‘Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso.’ I was astonished and predicted to him, ‘You will undoubtedly become a world-class violinist,’ and ever since, every time I’ve heard him play Paganini’s concertos or Schumann’s sonatas, I’ve witnessed that prediction coming true. This fact was further proven by his second-place finish at the Elisabeth International Competition, considered one of the world’s most challenging. However, I cannot help but be amazed once again by the masterful performances he delivers on this CD and in his recent recitals. It can be said that this is the result of his recent, meticulous approach to selecting timbres that are perfectly suited to each piece.” (From the liner notes by Tokihiko Umezu)\n\nTatsuki Narita Profile\nBorn in 1992.
