Mao Fujita, the acclaimed pianist, presents an extraordinary journey through the world of preludes with his latest album, "72 Preludes," set to release on September 6, 2024, via Sony Classical. This ambitious double album showcases the 24 Preludes from three master composers: Frédéric Chopin, Alexander Scriabin, and Akio Yashiro. Fujita's virtuosic performances bring together pieces from different eras and continents, offering a rich and diverse listening experience.
The album features a total of 48 tracks, each prelude meticulously performed by Fujita, highlighting his technical prowess and deep musical understanding. The preludes span a variety of moods and tempos, from the lively "Allegro" of Chopin's Prelude No. 1 in C Major to the introspective "Lento" of Scriabin's Prelude No. 4 in E Minor. Fujita's interpretation of these works is both respectful of their historical context and innovative, making this album a standout in the classical piano repertoire.
"72 Preludes" is a testament to Fujita's versatility and artistic vision. Following his critically acclaimed traversal of Mozart's complete piano sonatas, this new release further solidifies his reputation as a pianist of exceptional talent and depth. The album's duration of 1 hour and 12 minutes ensures a comprehensive exploration of the prelude form, making it an essential addition to any classical music enthusiast's collection.
