¡Takahiro Sonoda
¡Takahiro Sonoda (piano)
Description
[Machine Translation] Takahiro Sonoda (1928-2004) is a giant of the Japanese piano world in the 20th century in both performance and teaching. After studying with his father and Leo Sirota, Sonoda went to Europe in 1950 to study in Berlin and Paris, where he performed with the NHK Symphony Orchestra under Karajan on its first visit to Japan in 1954. He had a wide repertoire, but his appeal lay in his profound German music. The three works on this album, all of which require great technical skill and compositional ability, are a perfect match for Sonoda's musicality. With good support from Sawallisch, Sonoda brings out the German sound from the NHK Symphony Orchestra. Includes Japanese obi and commentary. Recordings: November 10, 1964 (1), April 17, 1969 (2) / Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, October 23, 1999 (3) / NHK Hall (live) [Performer] Takahiro Sonoda (piano), Wolfgang Sawallisch (1) (2), Ilzh Kohout (conductor), NHK Symphony Orchestra
