Info zu Tomono Kawamura: Reminiscence

In ihrem neuen Album nimmt die gefeierte Pianistin Tomono Kawamura die Zuhörer mit auf eine Reise durch die Welt der klassischen Klaviermusik. Tomonos tiefe Verbindung zum Klavier wird in jedem Stück deutlich, in dem sie persönliche Favoriten mit zeitlosen Meisterwerken mischt. Das Album erkundet verschiedene Stilepochen mit einer Auswahl von Scarlatti, Rachmaninoff, Debussy und Grieg. Ein Höhepunkt von „Reminiscence“ ist Tomonos Originalkomposition „Variations“, die eine Brücke zwischen klassischer Form und zeitgenössischem Ausdruck schlägt. Tomono Kawamura wurde in Japan geboren, begann mit drei Jahren mit dem Klavierspiel und gab mit fünfzehn Jahren ihr Orchesterdebüt. Nachdem sie zahlreiche Wettbewerbe in Japan gewonnen hatte, erhielt sie ein Stipendium für ein Studium an der Royal Academy of Music in London, wo sie mit Auszeichnung abschloss. Tomono ist als Solistin in ganz Asien, Europa und Großbritannien aufgetreten.
