Izumi Tateno, new recording at 86 years old. Most of the program is a collection of works dedicated to Tateno, and the piano is perfectly suited to the individuality and breath of these contemporary composers. He casts a warm gaze on the light and shadow of each song, and the depth and gentleness of the sound is sincerely woven. Its taste is similar to the rain of dry weather, and it sinks into the listener's earth comfortably.
An album that slowly and quietly unfolds as a hymn to human life.
