Kamei, Ayano
My Treasure Box
An aural tokonoma (a Japanese "corner of the beautiful things" where music and memory are delicately intertwined. Each piece, a small treasure drawn from a lifetime of encounters and reveries. Baroque brilliance, Romantic tenderness, folkloric vitality, and French luminosity in dialogue. Masterworks by Bach, Schumann, Ginastera, Ravel, and Kapustin form a vibrant mosaic, and the pianist curates a musical space where sound and listener are united in beauty. Childhood echoes, dreamscapes, and distant landscapes unfold in vivid succession, in a collection assembled with the precision and poetry of a refined ikebana. An album that transcends eras and styles, preserving moments of pure emotion music becomes both memory and rediscovery, suspended between past and present. A luminous anthology where every note reflects a world of hidden wonders.
