Kyoko Tabe,japanese pianist. The youngest winner of Whole Japan Music Competition in1984,gradueted at the top of the school and postgraduate course of the Berlin University of Arts. While in college,, won the 1st.prize in Epinal International Piano Competition and Schnabel Piano Competition.Her discography covers Schubert,Brahms, Beethoven and Mendelssohn. Several TH-cam Videos. I love especially her Schubert and Brahms.
Great music, fully alive! sometimes tender, sometimes soothing,clear like water, playful as small children, loving, full of color, a real ode to piano music. Thank you to Takashi and Kyoko. Thanks also to the publisher and TH-cam!!!!
Really amazing! It reminds me very much of Bartók's Mikrokosmos. Bartók's harmonies use much more dissonance though. This is like Bartók but a bit more accessible. There's some really beautiful pieces in here though.
A Japanese pianist friend gave this to me on minidisc, which i lost some years ago when the label fell off. So glad to have found it again! Really beautiful and evocative of Japan (or at least it is for me!) Thanks.

Really enjoyed this whole album. In particular, Dance Toward East. (22:57) Mr. Yoshimatsu is extremely talented. Just found out about him thanks to TH-cam Recommendations. How curious...
I am immersed in pleasure while listening to this comfortable music . From Tokyo in the dizzying megalopolis ablaze with neon Which national are you watching this video ？
I think Yoshimatsu has successfully imparted a distinct flavor of space and universe thanks to the time signatures with top numerals of prime numbers (5, 7, 11...)
amazing. the moment i saw ixis' question, i thought - hey, that looks like paul jenkins. what is ur connection to that artist? i discovered his work in France in th 80's. he is not super famous (i wonder if he's still alive) but has a recognizable style (obviously) :) i'm also a big fan of takashi yoshimatsu. cheers.
Hello, I am researching musics of that type, I would like to discover new authors similar to this one - I love Ryuichi Sakamoto or Hisaishi, I try to understand music of Takemitsu, does someone know others authors of this type of "contemproain classical music" ?
+Dhyan69 I've found them, recorded by the same artist as this version, Kyoko Tabe. www.amazon.co.uk/Pleiades-Dances-2-Kyoko-Tabe/dp/B00005LCJ8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1456080382&sr=8-2&keywords=kyoko+tabe
Ben Adams: Thank you very much! I love the CD in this posting, having discovered it in a record shop and first asked the shop owner to play it on his hifi system. It took me a few minutes, then I bought it. Another customer wanted to buy it immediately after me. Never knew about a spin off recording.

Takashi Yoshimatsu has a way with the piano. Very enjoyable.
That's music of high aesthetics. Real pleasure. And great playing, also.

Really beautiful...
know yourself in these melodies
This is one of my favorites. I can listen to this and just get in the flow.
Very interesting music. There is something I like very much about Japanese musicians.

Hermoso sin duda, no había sentido lo mismo desde que escuché a debussy cuando era niño.
As beautiful as a kiss.
Touches the heart, touches the soul. Beautiful...

Muy bella música. Me recuerda a las piezas de Chick Corea y a las danzas eslavas de Bartók.
Wonderful, delicate music

Really enjoyed this whole album.
In particular, Dance Toward East. (22:57)
Mr. Yoshimatsu is extremely talented. Just found out about him thanks to TH-cam Recommendations. How curious...
Misterioso. Enigmático. Exótico.
The painter is Paul Jenkins
messer citrazzo what does that paint means?
Its title is "Phenomena Sun over the Hour Glass" painted in 1966.
Pregunta ociosa. Lo que el espectador siente; ése es el sentido.
I am immersed in pleasure while listening to this comfortable music .
From Tokyo in the dizzying megalopolis ablaze with neon
Which national are you watching this video ？
I think Yoshimatsu has successfully imparted a distinct flavor of space and universe thanks to the time signatures with top numerals of prime numbers (5, 7, 11...)
Thanks ty
this is so great. Noel in Midnight (36:54) is my favorite.
I don't know about free download, but I bought the complete Yoshimatsu Pleiades Dances in score sheets in the Hutchins and Rea website. good luck!
Very Good
ah，so amazing
Most beautiful piece: 46:00
WHAT IS THIS ART
amazing. the moment i saw ixis' question, i thought - hey, that looks like paul jenkins. what is ur connection to that artist? i discovered his work in France in th 80's. he is not super famous (i wonder if he's still alive) but has a recognizable style (obviously) :) i'm also a big fan of takashi yoshimatsu. cheers.
......Beautiful......
My favorite is Romance from the past 2:56
fine composer strongly influence by early french music not influenced by the stuffy serialist at all
so are you

Does anyone know if the Pleiades Dances VII, VIII and IX have ever been recorded?
Good question, I would love to hear them too!
+Dhyan69 I've found them, recorded by the same artist as this version, Kyoko Tabe. www.amazon.co.uk/Pleiades-Dances-2-Kyoko-Tabe/dp/B00005LCJ8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1456080382&sr=8-2&keywords=kyoko+tabe

Does anyone know what the image being used for the video is? Who's the artist?
wcm05 paul jenkins
Please: could anyone tell me who the painter is?
00:01:29
00:00:00
Soberbio
The first movement is quite reminiscent of the first movement of Yoshimatsu's work for Guitar, Water Color Scalor.
This video makes me hungry. Fancy music always goes great with anime.
