Description:
The first release on the new label BRAVO Records A live recording of clear-sighted intelligence and fresh, vivid feeling Poulenc's Violin Sonata from Atsuko Sahara and Takehiko Yamada The first release on the new label BRAVO Records is a live recording by the violinist Atsuko Sahara and the pianist Takehiko Yamada. Alongside well-known works by Poulenc and Beethoven, it includes unaccompanied music by the Dutch composer Julius Röntgen, a composer Sahara has explored over many years. "This is the eagerly awaited new recording from Atsuko Sahara, one of Japan's finest violinists: a player of assured technique and of an exhilarating forward drive that keeps the music continually rising. Joining her in the Poulenc, full of esprit, and in that supreme masterpiece the Beethoven sonata, I shared in her startling sharpness and rich musicianship, and played with a real sense of happiness. And then the intensely romantic Röntgen of the Netherlands, a jewel of a repertoire that Atsuko Sahara has made her own over many years." Takehiko Yamada (from the liner notes) Atsuko Sahara A graduate of the Music High School attached to the Tokyo University of the Arts and of the university itself, she completed her master's degree in violin there. She studied abroad for two years as an overseas research fellow of the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs, completing the postgraduate chamber music course at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. She won first prize at the Uralsk International Violin Competition in 2004. She appears in recitals and at festivals throughout Japan as well as in England, Scotland, the United States, India and Kazakhstan. She has released "Atsuko Sahara: Works for Violin & Piano" on the British label Quartz and "Julius Röntgen: Chamber Music Vol. 1" on Toccata Classics, and has given the Japanese premieres of works by Röntgen. She has also been active in contemporary music, taking part while still a student in the Lucerne Festival Academy under the direction of the late Pierre Boulez; the quartet recording in which she took part, "Satoshi Minami: Second Air...", was named a Critics' Choice by Record Geijutsu. A former part-time lecturer in chamber music at the graduate school of the Tokyo University of the Arts, she is currently a member of the Geidai Philharmonia Orchestra (as a lecturer of the Tokyo University of the Arts) and of Ensemble of Tokyo.
