{"product_id":"chopin-kosuge-four-elements-1","title":"Chopin \/ Kosuge- Four Elements 1 (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCelebrated Japanese pianist Yu Kosuge embarks on an exciting project: four releases inspired by the Greek concept of the four elements, Water, Fire, Air, Earth. Many composers have been drawn to the properties of these elements when seeking inspiration for their music, but Kosuge's theme goes deeper, dating back to her successful Beethoven cycle: \"When you understand that Shakespeare's plays, read ardently by Beethoven, refer to Greek mythology, or that Beethoven himself composed some works based on the Prometheus myth, you would know that an artist who is searching for human nature would surely look to Greek mythology or philosophy...\" In Water, Yu Kosuge interprets a rich array of repertoire, from Liszt and Wagner to acclaimed contemporary composer Dai Fujikura. The 'barcarolle' takes it's rocking rhythms from the motion of a boat: we hear examples by Chopin and Fauré, as well as Venetian Gondola 'Songs Without Words' by Mendelssohn.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSongs Without Words, Book 2, Op. 30: No. 6 In F-Sharp Minor, Mwv U 110 \u0026amp;quot;Venetianisches Gondellied\u0026amp;quot;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarcarolle No. 5 In F-Sharp Minor, Op. 66\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSongs Without Words, Book 5, Op. 62: No. 5 In A Minor, Mwv U 151 \u0026amp;quot;Venetianisches Gondellied\u0026amp;quot;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarcarolle No. 10 In A Minor, Op. 104 No. 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSongs Without Words, Book 1, Op. 19b: No. 6 In G Minor, Mwv U 78 \u0026amp;quot;Venetianisches Gondellied\u0026amp;quot;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarcarolle No. 11 In G Minor, Op. 105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeux D\u0026amp;#39;eau, M. 30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarcarolle In F-Sharp Major, Op. 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRain Tree Sketch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRain Tree Sketch II \u0026amp;quot;In Memoriam Olivier Messiaen\u0026amp;quot;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnn\u0026amp;eacute;es De P\u0026amp;egrave;lerinage III, S. 163: No. 4, Les Jeux D\u0026amp;#39;eaux \u0026amp;Agrave; La Villa D\u0026amp;#39;este\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBallade No. 2 In B Minor, S. 171\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsoldes Liebestod, S. 447 (After R.
