About
For her sixth Linn recording KUNIKO has chosen to pay a personal tribute to one of Japan's most celebrated post-war composers: Akira Miyoshi (1933-2013). Showcasing Miyoshi's marimba works from the last four decades of the twentieth century, this recording represents a reference collection commemorating the composer's significant contribution to this repertoire. Solo marimba works include the Conversation Suite, Torse III, Rippleand the unpublished Six Prelude Etudes, the last piece for marimba that Miyoshi composed. The inclusion of Miyoshi's Concerto for marimba and string ensemble inspired an exciting collaboration between KUNIKO and Scottish Ensemble. This recording offers a compelling exploration of the marimba's remarkable sound-world, highlighting sharper and more percussive characteristics than those heard on KUNIKO's critically acclaimed album, J.S. Bach: Solo Works for Marimba. Tribute to Miyoshiis an important addition to the wider percussion catalogue and enhances KUNIKO's celebrated discography.
