Description:

Yuzuru Sakimoto’s 45th Anniversary and 100th Anniversary of the Chromatic Harmonica Commemorative Album Yuzuru Sakimoto’s unique world of harmonica expands Yuzuru Sakimoto is a musician who has continuously pursued the harmonica’s untapped potential and the depth of its expressive power. Over the years, numerous composers have provided masterpieces across various genres specifically for this small instrument. It is no exaggeration to say that these works have sparked a revolution in the world of the harmonica. Haruki Minno (From the booklet) On this album, Haruki Minno’s “Five Faded Photographs,” written specifically for Yuzuru Sakimoto, and Toots Thielemans’ classic “Blue Zet” are brought to life through Sakimoto’s distinctive harmonica playing, characterized by a sense of peace, tranquility, and nostalgia. ● Yuzuru Sakimoto (Harmonica) Studied under Shuuro Sato. Held his first recital in Tokyo in 1967. In 1970, he enrolled at the Trossingen Municipal Conservatory in West Germany, where he studied under Helmut Herold. In 1971, he studied under Tommy Riley in London. He garnered attention by winning second place in the soloist category at the 13th World Harmonica Competition. In 1973, he held a homecoming recital featuring an all-original harmonica program. In 1978, he performed Villa-Lobos’s Harmonica Concerto with the NHK Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Hiroyuki Iwaki during a regular concert series, and has since performed with major orchestras throughout Japan. He has performed in various countries, including the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom. His recitals feature varied and ambitious programs. In 1997, he held a concert celebrating the 30th anniversary of his performing career, featuring guest artists Mie Mikki on accordion, Miko Miyake on harp, Haruna Miyake on piano, and Haruki Mino. Furthermore, he holds annual concerts featuring Yuzuru Sakimoto and his colleagues, and has been conducting summer harmonica seminars for over 20 years. In 2007, he celebrated the 40th anniversary of his performing career. He has released numerous albums on Camerata, including solo works and collaborations with Haruki Minno, Miko Miyake, and others. His album “Poem Harmonica,” a collaboration with Mie Mikio, won the Excellence Award at the Heisei 14 Agency for Cultural Affairs Arts Festival. He has served as a judge for the harmonica competition organized by F.I.H. Japan since its first edition in 1981. Camerata Tokyo
