TV Anime "Piano no Mori" Favorite Collection And More

[Machine Translation] The authentic classical music TV anime "Piano Forest" reached its emotional final episode in April 2019. In the drama, world-class pianists who will lead the next generation of classical music, such as Kyohei Tanda, Ryoma Takagi, and Nyu Nyu, play along with the characters. The "dubbed piano" performance by world-class pianists became a major hit, and many related CDs ranked No. 1 on the Oricon Classical Charts. This new release includes many popular piano pieces from the first and second series. The CD also includes a number of pieces that are important to the story of each character, including the main character Umi Ichinose, Sousuke Ajino, Shuhei Amamiya, and Pang Wei. The collection includes "Waltz of the Little Dog" and "Mozart: Piano Sonata No. 2" from their elementary school days, as well as key pieces from each character's appearance at the Chopin Competition. It also includes "Piano Concerto No. 1" recorded with the Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra at the Philharmonic Hall in Warsaw, Poland, where the Chopin Competition was held, and the moving scene at the climax of the anime in which Kai and Ajino play two pianos together. Rachmaninoff: Romance from the Suite for Two Pianos," which was so moving when Kai and Ajino played together on two pianos at the climax of the anime, will also be included. The CD also includes a performance by Eiko Maruyama, "Moonlight Sonata in Three Movements," which Kai improvised and arranged after an accident at a competition when a piano string broke, "Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise" (Kai), "Funakka" (Pan Wei), and others that have not been previously released on CD and have never been released on CD before. The CD also includes pieces that have never been released on CD before, and are being released on CD for the first time.
