The beginning of our summer started out in UK, with a very special concert at the Eastbourne Grand Hotel, where Debussy completed his masterpiece La Mer, overlooking the English Channel from his hotel room balcony.  Well, guess what we played?  La Mer of course.    The room where Debussy stayed is now called the Debussy suite, and the room is kept exactly the same as it was back in his days, though it is a normal guestroom.  We did not stay in this room, however it was free one day and we were able to take a tour.  I could not resist going to the balcony where Debussy stood looking at the sea!

Last year, I had the great privilege of recording some of my favorite repertoire, the Faure Nocturnes. This under the most ideal condition, in Japan with a fabulous team of engineers (Octavia) and a beautiful Yamaha concert grand CX. We are so excited to launch this new CD, "Nocturnes". For those of you who might find all Faure Nocturnes difficult to digest, I have also put in more familiar Chopin Nocturnes as well. I hope you will enjoy the CD, as I have thoroughly enjoyed recording this. More info could be found in the recording category.

Here is a link of the long article about it in Japanese on the Yamaha website.
