A trilogy of solo performances by pianist Mana Fukui that unite the intersecting trajectories of Japonism’s ‘past’ and ‘future,’ successfully crossing the boundaries of time and culture. The recording includes pieces by composers whowere influenced by Japonism, such as Debussy, Scriabin, and Szymanowski, as wellas those by Toru Takemitsu, whose work strongly reflects the legacy of French　music exemplified by Debussy and Messiaen. By ruminating on “Japonism” as a　theme, these masterful performances draw allusions to French music, the Orient,　and the interwoven fabric of East and West.
