  • "Summer" by Jo Hisaishi "Kikujiro" - 菊次郎の夏 久石譲 [ピアノ]
    One of Hisaishi's most famous piano pieces, Summer from the film "Kikujiro" by Takeshi Kitano.
    A bit different from what I usually post, but I've always loved Hisaishi's film scores in his Studio Ghibli films 😍 I recorded this for a Japanese "online recital" which I gave a couple of days ago 😊 Hope you like it!

    こんなsummerは聴いた事がない。
    素人の自分にも分かる。
    リズムの緩急、音の強弱、すべてが美しい。

    Similar to our friend in Chicago, We are having record breaking freezing temperatures here in Texas. So this was very welcome. It’s great to see your versatility. I loved the glissando effect, It was like your fingers were floating over the keyboard, I would love to hear more from this composer.☀️💐💐💐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️

    I play this all the time and have said that if I had to choose one piece to listen to the rest of my life, this would be it. Played it for my 13-month-old granddaughter this morning, and she was enthralled. Thank you.

    If we can’t get a real summer yet, music is the next best thing. It reminds me of a market area in summer, street side cafes, shopping, a produce stand, people walking with friends and family talking and laughing.

    George, Richard here in a very, very coollldddd Texas. Have never seen anything like it in N. Texas. Below zero temperatures this morning-not a record as -11 was recorded in 1899, but the length of below freezing and this low temps for a week+ is a record. And, I love every minute of it.
    Now as to this wonderful performance, you just warmed up my bedroom by at least 10º F. I am not familiar with this Japanese composer, but reading the comments, he apparently is very popular in Japan and this piece is well know as well. What makes it so beautiful, of course, it the man who was playing it-you, George. Your light touch, the glissando-like run over the keyboard made me smile. As always, you surprise and emote such feeling with each and every performance. And, as I once said many moons ago, your breadth of composers is ever deepening. I apologize for not being around much, but now I am back. Keep it coming.

    How nice!!!👏👏👏The important thing is to give space to what we like even if it is not "in the canons".Creativity needs different spaces. I also like this composition too...We always need joy and lightness, especially during this period. You don't think George?👍👍👍
