Fumito Nunoya is considered the custodian of the marimba. In the preface
to this album, the Japanese musician explains why the marimba is still
not a main instrument in the classical music scene. But with an exciting
programme ranging from the Baroque to Modernism, he impressively proves
the opposite, at least for the inclined listener of this recording.
Marimbist Fumito Nunoya is gaining international recognition as one of
today’s leading marimbists. Born in Odate, Japan, he currently lives in
Kreis Herford, Germany. He has taught marimba at the Hochschule fur
Musik Detmold in Germany since 2009. In addition to performances in
Germany and around Europe, he regularly travels to perform in Japan and
the United States.
This
gloriously played disc explores the marimba in various guises, from
nimble Baroque stick-work in a transcription of Vivaldi to Nobunaga’s atmospheric concerto. —
