Miki Kobayashi (Classical)

Description:

～The debut disc of up-and-coming violinist Miki Kobayashi! This is a Russian program that is evocative of the dazzling virtuosity and astonishing expressive power of the Russian violin. The Shostakovich concert was a live performance with a full sense of temperature, supported by the outstanding support of the Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Taijiro Iimori. In Prokofiev's Sonata No. 2, he and his sister, Arisa, were fresh and perfectly matched. Both pieces were performed in the ultimate Russian style by their former teacher, Pavel Vernikov, and the range of expression, unimaginable for a performance by a Japanese, shook the audience.
