Terashima

Beautiful melodies of melancholy loved beyond borders and time. We will open the 23rd year of "Jazz Bar," Japan's best-selling and steadfast best jazz compilation. Everyone enjoys jazz in his or her own way, and the word "jazz" is full of various kinds of music. "Jazz Bar" features melodies tinged with melancholy that tug at the heartstrings. If such music were played at a jazz bar on a street corner, you might find yourself frequenting the place. This is the best compilation that has been released every year since 2001, contributing to the discovery of new masterpieces that can be considered next-generation standards and new-generation musicians. Please enjoy the beautiful songs and melodies that Yasukuni Terashima has discovered over the past year tonight.

The box comprises all (live) recordings made by Martha Argerich at the Lugano Festival, from 2002 to the last edition in 2016, and released by EMI Classics and Warner Classics. An impressive collection of 22CDs without equivalent. It includes a variety of genres: some solo piano music, lots of music for piano duo and among them many arrangements, chamber works and concertos.

The term ‘living legend’ is genuinely apt to Martha Argerich, whose dazzling amalgam of virtuosity, insight, eclecticism, generosity and mystery makes her a pianist of unrivalled fascination. Argentinian-born, Viennese-trained, and winner of the 1965 Chopin Competition, she became a sometimes elusive figure whose every appearance and recording aroused eager anticipation. This collection presents Argerich in solo works, concertos and chamber collaborations.
