Dear Angela, Thank you very much for your two night recitals in Tokyo last week. Ever since we went to your first debut concert in Japan last year, we were very attracted by your well-prepared program and performance. You amazed us by playing the Goldberg (fully repeated version) for 80 minutes non-stop with the unique Italian piano FAZIOLI 278. It delivered us clear sound for each phrase and each note produced by your ten fingers. I felt high-density, brilliant-cut, integrity, softness, delicate and well-balanced tune, but honestly speaking they were beyond description. The second night program of Chopin's three nocturnes and Ravel fascinated us as well. It sounded very new and fresh gained by contrast with the first half of Bach works. What a great and smart program it was!
Also, you looked fabulous on stage. I remember you appeared last year in Tokyo with a different colored dress each night. You always seem to impress us with your dress, and wanted to tell you that you are the best pianist dresser! We're so lucky to find out about your site as we can now see your dress. We noticed this year that your musical moment motions during performance were so stylish and even Oscar award actress cannot duplicate such actions. I am still expecting you to present the Scarlatti's sonatas by FAZIOLI piano
and I am very excited to find out about the first Trasimeno Music Festival. At the opening concert on July 2, I see that you are going to play Händel, Scarlatti and Bach, big three genius boys born in 1685. What an intelligent program! I wish I could be there and will try to think of a way to get there to see you perform.
Thanks again for your appearance in Tokyo. Warm Regards, Kazunori SHIBUYA
