Description:

The long-awaited debut CD by Mio Hatakeyama, a chromatic harmonica player who delicately, gracefully, and sometimes daringly travels through the world of sound, is now available. The CD includes the title piece and other classical masterpieces, her own compositions, and arrangements from "Hoshi Tsuki Yoru," a collection of piano pieces by popular composer Hideki Chihara (Zen Ongaku Shuppan Shuppansha). The accompaniment by Yumi Tanahashi, a pianist who studied in the Czech Republic and continues to be active internationally, also shines through. Please enjoy the profound world of chromatic harmonica. (C)RS
