About

The very first notes of this CD are enchanting: the delicate sounds that Kanahi Yamashita draws from the strings of her guitar immediately transport us to a world filled with sounds and songs that illuminate the various facets between night and dream. In the songs by John Dowland and the variations by Segei Rudnev, the darkness and depth of the night allude to death and it's eternal silence. Frank Martin's composition, Quatre pieces breves, reflects both the tranquility and the restlessness of the darkness, much like Benjamin Britten's Nocturnal after John Dowland. The journey through the night concludes with the 1953 piece Alba by Swiss composer Hans Haug, whose gentle string sounds herald the dawn - the night ends and a new day begins. Full of hope, tenderness, and melancholy, qualities so characteristic of Kanahi Yamashita's playing. Kanahi Yamashita was born in Nagasaki in 1997 and received her musical training from her parents, the renowned - and recently deceased - guitarist Kazuhito Yamashita and composer Keiko Fujiie. From a young age, she performed worldwide in a duo with her father. At the age of 13, she made her solo debut in Turin. She has lived in Berlin since 2015, where she studied at the Berlin University of the Arts with Prof. Thomas Muller-Pering and at the Nuremberg University of Music with Prof. Bjorn Colell, graduating with honors in 2026.
