WORKS: Piano Concerto (Memo Flora); While an Angel Falls into a Doze…
PERFORMER: Kyoko Tabe (piano); Manchester Camerata/Sachio Fujioka
CATALOGUE NO: CHAN 9652
The style is international pastel: quiet, tonal, cool. Yoshimatsu’s concerto is delicately melodic and playful. Strongest are the elegiac And Birds Are Still, and While an Angel Falls into a Doze..., with Pärt-like textures. Otherwise beautiful, but so unassertive that... zzzzz... Robert Maycock
