Julian Joseph presents a concert set featuring the Japanese pianist Makoto Kuriya and Peter Sarik from Hungary recorded as part of the Steinway Two Piano Festival in London, April 2011.
Japanese born pianist Makoto Kuriya has performed and studied at West Virginia University and the University of Pittsburgh. He has toured with Grammy winning artist Chuck Mangione in the late 80's and has produced many high profile Japanese recordings including that of best selling pop artist, Ken Hirai.He has also performed the soundtrack for the platinum winning "Neo Genesis Evangelion" and in 2002, he completed the score for the movie "Nitaboh" performed by the Warsaw Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Makoto has performed with Herbie Hancock at 'Tokyo Jazz', and in Paris for "International Music Day", with such greats as Billy Cobham and John Faddis. Emerging pianist, Hungarian artist Peter Sarik, is a gifted composer and pianist who has participated in many prestigious songwriting competitions, and this duelling piano set features Peter and Makoto in a highly charged performance playing at the top of their game.
Plus Julian interviews Saxophonist Tony Woods and Pete Churchill of the 'Avalon Trio', profiling their brand new album, "Forlana". The recording celebrates the rich tapestry of lyricism that inspired the work of early 20th century English composers Frederick Delius, Gerald Finzi and Ralph Vaughan Williams.
