Inspiration

Shinnosuke Inugai is an exceptional artist: not only has he won numerous competitions and possesses a vast repertoire, the young Japanese pianist feels at home in jazz as well as in classical music and has a special gift for improvisation. Therefore, what could be more natural for Inugai than to record his own music on his new GENUIN album in addition to orchestral piano music from early Romanticism to Classical Modernism? Stravinsky, Schumann, Albéniz, and Scriabin frame sparkling improvisations in colorful interpretations: From playing with white keys to the reverberation of distant bells to echoes of folk music - utterly enchanting!
