This review is from: Just for Me: Noriko Ogawa plays Japanese Piano Music (Audio CD)
The risk-taking young Noriko Ogawa is a golden pianist. She records whole movements in single takes, and is best known for her Rachmaninov. Her rich tone, superb control, and stylistic sensitivity is fully captured on this BIS disk.Despite the title this is a "classical" sampler rather than pop music. Most of the 11 Japanese composers featured here worked with European forms or styles--between 1900 and 1981, in a huge gamut of styles ranging from Chopinesque to modern dissonant--but there is a notable tendency to incorporate lovely native pentatonal scales, especially in music from the nationalistic 1930s. The overall feeling is mostly calming and nocturnal, rather like Carol Rosenberger's selection of impressionist "Night Moods" on Delos 3030. Informative notes to composers mostly unknown here are included. |
