Tchaikovsky : Violin Concerto in D major op.35

Sayaka Shoji is the first Japanese and youngest winner at the Paganini Competition in Genoa in 1999.
She was born into an artistic family and spent her childhood in Siena, Italy. She studied at Hochschule für Musik Köln under Zakhar Bron and graduated in 2004. Her other teachers have included Sashko Gawrillow, Uto Ughi and Shlomo Mintz.

Zubin Mehta has been her strong supporter. When Shoji auditioned for him in 2000, he immediately changed his schedule in order to make her first recording with the Israel Philharmonic possible in the following month, then invited her to perform with Bavarian State Opera and Los Angeles Philharmonic.

なぜか突然、チャイコフスキーのバイオリン協奏曲を聴きたい気分になっちゃいました。ワタシは 20:22 からの第二楽章が大好きです。そして 27:04 からの第三楽章でガラリと曲調が変わるダイナミックな変化が好きです。庄司紗矢香(Sayaka Shoji)さんの小柄な身体からあふれ出すエネルギー、そしてそれを支える繊細な弦のテクニックに魅せられますよね。「やってやるワ」という向こう意気も感じられて、素敵です。
