This is the debut album by Osamu Nakamura, a precocious pianist born in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, who started performing on stage at the age of 10 as a pianist for her mother Yuko Nakamura, a ballet dancer, and has since devoted her life to discovering and introducing composers who have been buried in history. Produced by the audio critic Okihiko Kanno, brother of Kunihiko Kanno. The music of composers such as Bernd Alois Zimmermann, Paolo Castaldi, Niccolo Castigloni, Anton Von Webern and Heinz Holliger is performed with great expressiveness. The highlight is Nakamura's own original score from B1 to B6, which evokes a deep spirituality that seems to appeal to the depths of the subconscious, and at the time of recording Nakamura was only 16 years old. Please give it a listen.
B1: Piece for Piano
B3: Piano Sonata
