Shigehiko Kawaguchi Forte Piano Recital Unofficial

This is a recital by Shigehiko Kawaguchi, a leading fortepiano player born in Iwate Prefecture and based in the Netherlands, who has many brilliant achievements, including the second prize at the First International Chopin Competition for Period Instruments and the highest prize at the Bruges International Classical Competition. This performance is composed entirely of Chopin's programs, and the most attractive feature is that it will be performed on the fortepiano, the instrument of the era in which Chopin lived. Chopin's works reproduced in the tone of those days have a delicate and rich expression different from that of the modern piano, inviting the audience to the salons of the 19th century. We hope you will enjoy the supreme sound of this world-renowned virtuoso to your heart's content in the large space of Rias Hall.
