Buenos Aires no Shiki

[Machine Translation] This is a collection of Piazzolla's masterpieces by Kazuma Miura, the prince of the Japanese bandoneon world, released on the 90th anniversary of Piazzolla's birth. The main part of this album is "The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires," which consists of four parts. Of these, "Summer" and "Winter" are especially famous among Piazzolla's works (figure skater Daisuke Takahashi used them in his free skate in 2010), but it is rare to find a recording of all four seasons together. There is only one live recording of Piazzolla's own performance. The title piece, "Delicatissimo" and "Libertango" were recorded using the quintet (string ensemble) Piazzolla devised in 1960. The three duo pieces with piano, "Tengen no mingaro" (Angel's mingaro), "Toast" and "Libertango" were related to the pieces performed by Kazuma Miura at the 2008 International Piazzolla Competition, in which he was the first Japanese runner-up.

ピアソラ生誕90周年に放つ、日本バンドネオン界のプリンス 三浦一馬のピアソラ名曲集。本作のメインは、四部構成から成る「ブエノスアイレスの四季」の全曲収録。その内、「夏」や「冬」はピアソラ作品の中でも特に有名(フィギュア・スケートの高橋大輔も2010年のフリー演技で使用している)だが、「四季」すべてが揃った録音は希少。ピアソラ本人による演奏もライヴ盤1枚を残すのみとなっている。タイトル曲をはじめ「デリカシモ」、「リベルタンゴ」はピアソラが1960年に考案したキンテート(弦楽合奏)編成で録音。ピアノとのデュオによる「天使のミンガロ」、「乾杯」、「リベルタンゴ」の3曲は三浦一馬が日本人初の準優勝を果たした2008年「国際ピアソラ・コンクール」で演奏した所縁の楽曲。
