Description:

September 2018: Won 2nd Place at the “1st Chopin International Period Instrument Competition”! An album by pianist Shigehiko Kawaguchi, who brings to life the sounds of Chopin’s era. At the age of 20, pianist Shigehiko Kawaguchi encountered an exquisite replica of a fortepiano by “Anton Walter” (a Viennese keyboard instrument maker active from the late 18th to the 19th century), an experience that opened his eyes to the splendor of instruments from that era. Captivated by the delicate and varied timbres of period instruments, he has thoroughly researched their appeal and capabilities to the utmost, dedicating himself to recreating the sounds of the 19th century. Recorded in 2017, this Schubert album conveys his thoughts at that time and marks the beginning of a new leap forward in his career. Kawaguchi’s performance reflects his belief that the history of the piano is one of “transformation” rather than “development,” and that there are many subtle nuances that can only be expressed using the instruments from the time the works were composed. Please enjoy this beautiful and ever-changing sound. Naxos Japan
