Scenery

[Machine Translation] Ryo Fukui is a renowned pianist born in Hokkaido, Japan. His fresh and delicate playing has attracted many listeners, and his first album, "Scenery," has been highly acclaimed worldwide. The earnest performance of his youthful days shakes the listener's emotions in a pleasant way. It Could Happen To You" swings as if it were strutting, "Early Summer" is exhilarating and full of joy, and "Scenery" seems to contain the night air of late autumn. The "Hokkaido sentiment" that blends with Fukui's qualities, combining a large scale and subtlety, is pleasant to listen to. The green leaves sprouting, the clear stream dazzling, the sky clear, the snow falling without a sound.... Here, the beautiful scenery spun by Ryo Fukui = scenery lives on forever. Red vinyl.

北海道が生んだ名ピアニスト、福居良。その瑞々しく繊細なプレイは多くのリスナーを魅了し、ファースト・アルバムである本作『Scenery』は世界的にも高く評価されるようになった。22歳でピアノを始めた福居が本作を録音したのは28歳のとき。若き日のひたむきな演奏が聴く者の感情を心地良く揺さ振ってくる。闊歩するように大らかにスウィングする「It Could Happen To You」、爽快で歓びに満ちた「Early Summer」、晩秋の夜気を含んだような「Scenery」。福居の資質に溶け込んだ、スケールの大きさと機微を兼ね備えた"北海道的情感"が心地良い。萌える緑、眩い清流、澄明な空、音もなく落ちる雪・・・。ここには、福居良が紡いだ美しき風景=シーナリィが永遠に息づいている。レッドヴァイナル仕様。
