Info for Schubert: Sonata in C Minor, D. 958, 4 Impromptus, D. 935 & Rondo, D. 951

Aimi Kobayashi, die als Preisträgerin des Internationalen Chopin-Klavierwettbewerbs 2021 bekannt wurde, wurde von Gramophone als eine Pianistin gelobt, die „die Aufmerksamkeit durch fein gezeichnete Linien und gedämpfte Dynamik ebenso fesseln kann wie durch lebhafte Gesten und brachiale Kraft“.

Nach Chopin- und Liszt-Alben bei Warner Classics folgt nun ein Schubert-Recital: die vier Impromptus D935, die Sonate in c-Moll D958 und das Rondo in A-Dur D951, ein umfangreiches Werk für zwei Spieler an einem Klavier.

Im Duett mit ihr spielt Kyohei Sorita, ein weiterer Preisträger des Chopin-Wettbewerbs - und auch ihr Ehemann.

„Schuberts Musik hat eine besondere Schönheit, die nur ihm eigen ist“, sagt sie. „Die Stücke, die ich für das Album aufgenommen habe, wurden gegen Ende seines Lebens geschrieben, als er 30 oder 31 Jahre alt war. Ich werde im Jahr 2025 30 Jahre alt ... Ich dachte, es wäre sinnvoll, sie in dem Alter zu spielen, in dem dieser geniale Komponist sie geschrieben hat ... Schuberts Werke sind einsam, aber voller Zärtlichkeit ... Es ist, als ob der Komponist sich des Todes bewusst ist, aber inmitten dieses Todes entdeckt er ein wenig Glück und drückt es in seiner Musik aus.“

She is considered one of the most sought-after pianists in Japan of her generation.

Aimi was born in 1995 in Ube, Japan. She started playing piano at age three, made her concerto debut at age eight, and started her international career at age nine.

She studied with Meng-Chieh Liu at the Curtis Institute of Music.

In 2009, she won the junior section prize of the Asia-Pacific International Chopin Piano Competition in Korea. Then in 2011, she was the gold medalist at the Asia International Chopin Competition for her performance in the concerto section, and in the same year, she won the Yasuko Fukuda prize.

She gave her first recital at Carnegie Hall for the Japan NYC Festival – of which Seiji Ozawa was the musical director – before giving a recital at the Tokyo Opera City the following month.

She has already performed with several major orchestras, both in Japan and overseas, including the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century under Frans Bruggen and the Moscow Virtuosi under Vladimir Spivakov.

In Japan she regularly performs with Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra, Japan Philharmonic Orchestra and New Japan Philharmonic. She has recorded pieces by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin and Liszt for Warner Classics. In 2015, she became one of ten finalists at the 17th Chopin Piano Competition of 452 entrants from 45 countries. In July 2019, she played Mozart’s Piano concerto No.20 in D minor K.466 with Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège under Christian Arming.
