Every year, he releases live recordings of his recitals at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan Small Hall on the SONARE label, all of which have received high acclaim. This album captures the recital held in October 2025.\nThe program opens with the brilliant short piece “Mozart: Rondo in D Major, K. 485,” composed in 1786. It is a brief yet highly polished work, characterized by its clear sense of form and graceful melodies. This is followed by the cheerful and lively “J.S. Bach: Italian Concerto in F Major, BWV 971.” The program continues with “Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 10,” which is more approachable and charming compared to his later works, and “Brahms: Three Intermezzi, Op. 117,” a masterpiece brimming with deep lyricism.\nThe program concludes with “Children’s Corner,” which Debussy dedicated to his beloved daughter. This is truly a gem of a program where you can fully savor Hashigo’s elegant and delicate piano sound.\n\n\u003ctsuyoshi hashigo\u003e\nBorn on August 2, 1977, in Tokyo to parents who were both musicians.
