Piano Transfiguration

[Machine Translation] Aki Takahashi has earned the trust of prominent contemporary composers for her earnest performances that highlight the essence of her works. This CD contains piano works by six composers who were deeply involved in Takahashi's creation, including a work that Yun composed with Takahashi in mind and dedicated to her with the initial A in the title, a work written by Yuasa for her recital, and a work in which she was directly exposed to Feldman's musical views and considered how to play with him at the piano. In addition to rare sound recordings of works by Yorinori Matsudaira, whose scores have never been published, and works by Yorioaki Matsudaira written for her husband Kuniharu Akiyama, the liner notes in which Takahashi describes episodes from the composers and works are of high documentary value.
