On January 22, Natsuho held a recital at the Musashino Civic Cultural Hall with Kaoruko Igarashi, but I didn't know about it and couldn't attend.
The performers were terrific, and the program was excellent, too. Those who could listen to the recital at the venue on the day must have had an unforgettable time. To put it bluntly, they were there at a moment of the century. The main program consisted of two pieces performed as encores on the day. What a luxurious and fertile concert it was! Meanwhile, the concert I managed to secure was a concert by children of genius level from around the world, organized by Keisin, and Natsuho was to perform as a guest artist, playing only one piece by Chausson/Poeme. I will rush to Tokyo and Yokohama to hear just that one piece.
Natsuho will be performing this piece, which was played by the greatest violinists of the 20th century, including Heifetz, who was called the “violinist of the century.” Natsuho will be performing this piece as a natural, super-class genius, so there is no way I can resist the temptation to attend.
In other words, not only has the violinist of the 21st century appeared in Japan, but thanks to her studying there, I can hear him in various places in Japan.
Witnessing the performance of the violinist of the 21st century is inevitable for me.
As I have already mentioned, I was blessed with a genius's mind.
That is why I didn't do any of the usual cramming for entrance exams, and I still managed to get into a top high school representing Japan.
As a junior high school student, instead of studying for exams, I was in a great romance with a wonderful beauty, the personification of Anna Karenina, The Lily of the Valley, The Red and the Black, and Paul and Virginie.
I am proud to think that I could write 'Anna Karenina of the 21st century', but after reading the works of Le Clézio, who was 'the other me' in this world, there is a strong possibility that I will end my life without writing it.
This is because my life is a life of richness and enjoyment every day.
This is because I have a best friend without whom I cannot spend any season.
Although I don't have a cat that jumps around between the books. Because I chose to live in an apartment where I can't keep a cat or dog, there is a high possibility that I will end my life like that.
Several times, I have written on my blog that “I am a Nobunaga living in the present.”
As my good friend teased me, “If that's the case, then quickly go and make 1,000 concubines.” the only thing that is my greatest misfortune is that I don't have a wonderful lover right now.
The central part of this piece is a performance by Ririko Takagi, which can be seen on YouTube. Ms. Takagi is also excellent. The depth of the Japanese classical music world is extraordinary, but this proves that the level of Japanese culture is the highest in the world. From this reality, two super-class geniuses, Natsuho Murata and Himari, appeared in Japan only four years apart. This is described in the previous article, "The Turntable of Civilization."
