Ueno Yuko

Description:

Yuko Ueno's second CD, which has been performed in France and other European countries, features delicate and delicate lyric expression, heartbreaking contrasts and color changes in a thousand shades of purple and red, fresh poetic sentiment, and overwhelming dynamism that weaves the composer's mental landscape with great care. When the music is fused with Mr. Ueno's immeasurable sympathy and respect for the composer and his music, as well as his exceptional imagination, it soars to the heights of art with a freshness as if it had just been born. This is an album that should be listened to carefully and long (from Yudai Majima's liner notes). I would like to especially recommend the pianist Yuko Ueno, who is a wonderful artist. We who can listen to her enchanting and beautiful performances have the greatest bliss and luck in the world. ＜After graduating from Toho Women's High School of Music, Yuko Ueno went to Europe in her second year of college, where she received a diploma in piano from the International Piano Academy in Imola, Italy, and a concertist diploma in piano from the Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris, France, recognized by Argerich, El-Basha, and Katsaris.
