Description:

You can hear the spirit of that era. A new recording of Debussy's "Preludes, Volume 2. Here, Debussy depicts a moment of wind, fog that obscures distant objects, light that intermingles with each other, and the hidden emotions of the heart that are mixed up in the light, all of which resonate naturally with different breathing sounds, thus revealing their outlines with deep depth. Or the sound of the snowflakes falling while looking here and there just like a child's eyes in "A Child's Domain". Listening to the piece, it becomes clear that this is the sound and echo that Debussy was describing. Keiko Toyama has restored piano music performance that has been lost in the modern age. [Tokihiko Toyama has been playing beautiful and lustrous tones since her talent was recognized by Alfred Cortot at a young age. Her activities include not only performing highly acclaimed concertos and chamber music with Viennese virtuosi, but also serving as a competition judge and lecturer at music festivals, both in and out of the country.The works recorded for the first time in a long time are the Preludes, Vol. 2 and Children's Domain from Debussy, which are said to show Keiko Toyama's most distinctive style. The refined phrasing, transparent touch, and natural intervals that are as natural as breathing are characteristic of Keiko Toyama, who wears the spirit of the good old days of France. Debussy as Keiko Toyama perceives it today. Camerata Tokyo
