It should be the sum total of a composer's experiences. - Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninov There have been so many couplings of these concertos done in recent years, and yet it is not often that we get a woman pianist at the keyboard. If I am not mistaken the last lady pianist to do so was Zilberstein on DG (439 930-2). Noriko Ogawa's other discs in her discography have consisted of Takemitsu piano music (BIS 805) and Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition (BIS 905 - to be reviewed soon), which has been received warmly and widely by her peers and reviewers alike. Noriko Ogawa came to prominence when she walked away with the Third Prize in the prestigious Leeds Competition of 1987 and has since played with the leading orchestras of Europe. This puts her in the same echelons as pianists like Radu Lupu and Murray Perahia. I had the honour of listening to her "live" rendition of the Emperor Concerto by Beethoven last year with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra ( Click here for review ) and I must say that it was one of the most exhilarating renditions I have heard in a long time. She has this ability to play with a certain sense of controlled recklessness which makes her interesting to hear "live".

And Noriko Ogawa most assuredly sets her standard here, which places her as a leading exponent of this music, surely the greatest piano music of the 20th century. It is a remarkable achievement, not least because she is so young. But by every standard of Debussy playing - subtlety, atmosphere, phrasing, shading, precision - she is excellent. Her attention to the composer's carefully expressed instructions resounds to the music's details with due care and attention, with the result that the performances achieve a special insight. The very opening of the programme reflects these particular strengths, and is really compelling.

A fastidious ear and touch are prerequisites for playing Debussy, and Ogawa certainly has them. What sets her apart from other pianists is her wonderful sense of timing. It is easy to overdo Debussy's hesitations and sudden rushes; we know he maintained a fairly strict pulse in performance. Ogawa though, allows the music to breathe, while maintaining the forward momentum. IH Gramophone August 2001 "Noriko Ogawa is a young pianist with an uncanny empathy for Debussy's elliptical music."

NORIKO OGAWA Pianist Artist Manager: Caroline Oakes When Noriko Ogawa was awarded third prize in the 1987 Leeds International Piano Competition, the scholarships she had won and support she had inspired over the years were amply rewarded. Since then, she has achieved considerable renown in Europe, America and, of course, in her native Japan where she is a national celebrity. In 1999, Noriko Ogawa was awarded the Japanses Ministry of Education's Art Prize in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the cultural profile of Japan throughout the world. Here she remains much in demand, appearing at major arts festivals, performing regularly with the major orchestras and making regular radio and television broadcasts for both NHK and Nippon television. Noriko Ogawa's recent releases for BIS Records have consolidated her major profile in Japan. Following her success at Leeds, Noriko Ogawa has gained a devoted following in the UK, such that she now spends over half the year in Europe. She records regularly for the BBC as recitalist and soloist, gives chamber recitals - in particular with Korean violinist Dong-Suk Kang - and appears regularly with the major UK orchestras, which have included The Philharmonia, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, BBC Philharmonic, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Ulster Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, Orchestra of St John's Smith Square, Philomusica of London and London Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. Amongst the leading conductors she has worked with are Hans Vonk, Leonard Slatkin, Tadaaki Otaka, Gennady Rozhdestvensky, Yan Pascal Tortelier, Kasper de Roo and Gunther Herbig.

NORIKO OGAWA Pianist Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra Manfred Honeck Ravel Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in G major The relationship of Göteborg's Symphony Orchestra with Mozart's music is not wholly uncomplicated. This week it was the E flat major symphony which was on the programme and Manfred Honeck who held the conductor's baton, and not even that helped. Fresh as a spring flood, lively and positive. A symphony with such content should surely not cause problems. But that is precisely what it did. Honeck obviously felt the need for a fairly substantial touch. Perhaps in order to keep a hold on the ensemble, but it isn't a good way of reaching the soul of Mozart. On the contrary it was a rather rough and rugged experience. Manfred Honeck has been the guest conductor many times in recent years and in the main he has succeeded in getting on the right musical wavelength with exceptional skill. He also managed to do that this time, but not until it was the name of Ravel on the score. Bolero does not offer any great difficulties of interpretation, nor the piano concerto. But both works are founded to a great extent on technical perfection, imagination and rhythmic pregnancy.

Modest MUSSORGSKY Pictures from an Exhibition (from handwritten manuscript) Coronation Scene and Polonaise from Boris Godunov Prelude (Dawn over the Moscow River) Dance of the Persian Slave Girls (Act 4, Sc.1) Prelude to Act 4, sc 2 The Banishment of Prince Golitsyn from Khovanshchina Fair Scene and Gopak from Sorochintsy Fair NORIKO OGAWA piano BIS Records BIS-CD-905 [74'00"] full-price by Johann D'Souza Modest-ly speaking, Mussorgsky was not really known to be an experienced musician. However we are told that he was a competent pianist, having taught himself with little instruction from Balakirev, both members of The Five. (I have full respect for pianist-composers - because they write the most difficult pieces as well as the most sublime pieces for the piano). Mussorgsky did not really compose a wide selection of pieces in his short life of 42 years, but many of his works are dearly remembered. Mussorgsky (right, painted in his final year by Ilya Repin) suffered from psychological problems and alcoholism. It is surprising, but I am now in full belief that you have to be mentally unstable, depressed, and/or turbulent in order to compose works of great inspiration. Eg. Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.6 and Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No.2

No.673 November 23rd, 1999 Welcome to the on-line edition of the Japan Newsletter published by the Japan Information and Cultural Centre. Through publishing in electronic form, we hope to bring news about Japan and the UK to as many people as possible. If there is a story that may be suitable for the Japan Newsletter, or you have any feedback, then please contact the Editor Caroline Lewis by e-mail: cml@japanesematters.co.uk This edition's articles: Ambassador Hayashi opens Exhibition at Yorkshire Sculpture Park Britain and Japan: Prospects for the 21st Century Genetic Engineering in the UK and Japan Japan Society holds Autumn Supper ... Japan 2001 Update There is also a section for archived newsletters Ambassador Hayashi opens Exhibition at Yorkshire Sculpture Park Ambassador Sadayuki Hayashi opened a new international exhibition by Japanese artist Noriaki Maeda at Yorkshire Sculpture Park on November 5. The exhibition marks the first one person show in Britain for Noriaki Maeda, who graduated with an MA in sculpture from the National Academy of Fine Art, Tokyo in 1988. In 1998 he was awarded a grant to study in London as a postgraduate student attached to the Royal Academy Schools. The exhibition at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park comprises a group of six heavy and beautifully worked abstract organic steel sculptures made between 1995 and 1997, as well as an installation in the Pavilion Gallery which spills out into the surrounding Bothy Gardens. After an opening address by Mr Peter Murray, OBE, Executive Director of Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Ambassador Hayashi declared the exhibition open. Many distinguished figures from the Japanese arts world had flown to the UK especially for the event, which Foreign and Commonwealth Office Minister John Battle, MP, members of the Japanese business community, and Councillors for local authorities also attended. The opening therefore provided a valuable opportunity to further strengthen the important regional and cultural links between the two countries.

JAPANESE TONE PAINTING Takemitsu, Schumann and Musorgsky. MALCOLM MILLER at a recent recital by Noriko Ogawa An attractively colourful tonal palette and appealing communicability were amongst the qualities in a highly enjoyable recital on 28 April 2001 by the Japanese pianist Noriko Ogawa. Since her prize in the 1987 Leeds Competition Miss Ogawa has developed a reputation especially for the music of Japanese composers, and Takemitsu in particular, whose complete piano works she has recorded (Bis label). Takemitsu's works featured heavily in her London Wigmore Hall recital on 29 April, but a beautiful performance of one work, Rain Sketch II also formed part of an entirely different recital (!) on the previous night at Trinity Church in Golders Green. Presented by the Hendon Music Society, the last concert of its impressive 42nd Season, her programme on this occasion also regaled a capacity audience with stirring accounts of two major works, Schumann's , and Musorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition Takemitsu's exquisite miniature is one of a trilogy, including
