{"product_id":"identity","title":"IDENTITY","description":"The Japanese-born pianist Kenji Miura, winner of the 2019 Long-Thibaud-Crespin Competition in Paris, ponders on the issue of identity, combining music of the French school with two pieces by Toru Takemitsu, a Japanese composer strongly influenced by French composers and by the Second Viennese School. The main works on the album are Franck's Pr�lude, Fugue et Variation, Ravel's Valses nobles et sentimentales and Debussy's Six �pigraphes antiques. Born in Kobe in 1993, Kenji Miura studied in the UK and in Berlin, where he is now based. \"This album is a reflection of my own personal struggle with identity,\" he writes. \"We live in an increasingly multi-ethnic and multicultural society - my torn-between-worlds feeling is shared by many around the world. This is my small musical letter to all those struggling with the many aspects of identity - a concept that should help us embrace who we are and our complicated, beautiful lives.\"","brand":"WARNER CLASSICS","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49232770892056,"sku":"190296154584","price":17.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4154588-3455005.jpg?v=1771960303","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/identity","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
