Blossoming greenery, dazzling clear streams, clear skies, silently falling snow... This is
the beautiful scenery, or scenery, woven by Hokkaido-born renowned pianist Ryo Fukui. Here, forever.
His fresh and sensitive playing captivated listeners, and his debut album, "Scenery," earned him international acclaim. Fukui, who began playing the piano at age 22, recorded this album at age 28. The earnest performance of his youth pleasantly stirs the emotions of listeners. From the striding, generous swing of "It Could Happen To You" to the exhilarating and joyful "Early Summer," to the late autumn night air of "Scenery," Fukui's signature qualities blend in with the grand scale and subtlety of his "Hokkaido-esque" aesthetic. Here, the beautiful scenery, or scenery, woven by Ryo Fukui, lives on forever.
