Kanno / Ogawa,Noriko Light Water Rainbow Super-Audio CD

In the compositions of Yoshihiro Kanno (b. 1953) he bases himself on three idioms: Western instrumental music, Japanese traditional instruments and computer music. Combining these various elements freely, he creates scores for Japanese instruments and computer as well as for Western and Japanese instruments. The pianist Noriko Ogawa, acclaimed for a wide-ranging discography comprising music by Mozart and Debussy to Takemitsu and Graham Fitkin, is a champion of Kanno's music, having commissioned three of the works on the present disc, the so-called 'Particle of Piano' series.

1. The Remains of the Light III, 'Angel's Ladder' 2. A Particle of Light 3. A Particle of Water 4. A Particle of Rainbow 5. Lunar Rainbow 6. Prelude for Angel
