Masaya Kamei

Description:

In 1919, Kamei attracted attention by winning the Grand Prix of the Pittina Piano Competition Special Class and the 1st Prize of the Japan Music Competition, and in 2010, he won the 3rd Prize at the Maria Canals International Competition and was a semi-finalist at the Van Cliburn International Competition. The long-awaited 1st full-length album by 20-year-old pianist Seiya Kamei has been released. This album includes virtuoso works such as "La Campanella" and "Mazeppa," pieces that require superb technique among the works of Liszt, who was called the wizard of the piano, and "Islamei" and "Scarbo," which are considered the most difficult piano pieces. This recording was made at Suntory Hall. (C)RS
