She plays the Bösendorfer with her heart in every note." Kembanist" Mizumuko Tsukatani. Her life's work is the performance and study of the Goltberg Variations, and she has released four different recordings so far. The album [Black Disc / Recorded in 2012 (PCD-1204)], in which she performed on the large Müller organ at St. Bapho Church, which is said to have been played by Mozart, Mendelssohn, and Liszt, was an exceptional hit for an organ album, and the following year she released an album of the smallest Positif organ with only three registers, "The Goltberg Variations". The following year, he released a new album [white disc/2013 (PCD-1305)], performed on the smallest Positif organ with only three resists. Later, he opened a new door with a piano performance of the Busoni arranged version [orange disc/recorded in 2017 (PCD-1712)], and this album was also highly acclaimed. The "Kembanist" Mizunako Tsukatani does not stop here! She has released an album [Red Disc/Recorded in 2018 (PCD-1812)], in which she performed on as many as 60 toy pianos. This performance, in which she played a number of toy pianos as if she was changing the registration of the organ, was the talk of the town in various magazines. Ten years have passed since the release of the black disc.Finally, the fifth volume is here! Tsukatani's remarkable new recording, which has been "shaped" by his unusual persistence, is the "original version" with piano [blue disc / recorded in 2021 (PCD-2110)]! This time, all the pieces are performed without repeats, and the performance is like an epilogue to his past progress. The recording is the culmination of her efforts and accumulations over the past 10 years, and it is truly profound in a way that only she can express. The instrument used is a Bösendorfer from the Chabohiba Hall in Tachikawa, the same as the orange disc. This instrument has 92 keys, and the depth of the low notes and the beauty of the high notes are very attractive. Tsukatani says, "I played in accordance with 18th century keyboard technique, style, and mannerisms. We hope you will enjoy this profound performance. The recording engineer is Hironori Kosaka of OMF label. (1/2) King International
