This album is a recording of the memorable first live performance held on December 9, 2014. His lively, dynamic, and sensitive performance, which expresses the beauty of life as it is, leaves the listener with a refreshing impression. The limpid piano playing of Atsushi Yamanaka, a young and talented composer, is also noteworthy.
