Description:

A fantastic world of piano surrounded by magical tones. After graduating from the Tokyo University of the Arts and its graduate school, Mai Morimoto studied at the Munich State University of Music in Germany, where she studied with Gerhard Opitz. Since returning to Japan, she has been giving concerts throughout Japan and teaching younger students. This is her memorable debut album. The program is filled with Morimoto's passionate thoughts and feelings, and she delivers a bouquet of her appreciation for music. The program includes Chopin's Fantasy Impromptu, which she says she wants to continue performing throughout her life, and other pieces that expand into a fantastical world. The music will spread like magic, and the beautiful tones will envelop the audience. This album is a pleasant listen for classical music lovers as well as for those who are not so familiar with classical music.
