Description:

Kyoko Tabe's commemorative CD debut 25th anniversary is marked by an album of Grieg's music. Grieg's piano concerto, which she has had many opportunities to perform, is a performance that is truly in her hands. With supple sensitivity and firm pianism, she spins the music dynamically and delicately. Supported by the rich sound of Kenichiro Kobayashi and the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, the piano's fine-grained sound shines through. What stands out in the smaller pieces is the delicate touch and lyrical songfulness. The beautiful, yet somewhat shadowy, enchanting performance reveals the "now" of Kyoko Tabe as a pianist. Recorded April 12-13 and June 10, 2018 at Fujimi Civic Cultural Hall Kirari Fujimi and Muza Kawasaki Symphony Hall, Saitama, Japan (DSD 11.2MHz recording)
