DAISHIN KASHIMOTO

Daishin Kashimoto's CD with Chausson's Concerto for Piano, Violin and String Quartet, recorded together with Éric Le Sage and the Schumann Quartet, was released by Sony Classical in October 2024 and was promptly voted Album of the Week by BR Klassik radio.

"The international ensemble presents an excellent, feverishly pulsating recording of the forty-minute work, offering an emotional tour de force that is as finely tuned as is possible with this thematic density," says BR Klassik about the recording, which also includes the piano quintet by Louis Vierne.

Chausson's work has a particularly virtuoso violin part (the dedicatee was the Belgian violin legend Eugene Ysaÿe) and can therefore be considered a violin concerto with chamber music accompaniment.

In view of the line-up of Éric Le Sage, Daishin Kashimoto and the Schumann Quartet, BR Klassik's verdict on the sonically opulent, late-romantic album is: "It doesn't get more international than this. And probably no more beautiful."
