Lush green landscapes, dazzling clear streams, a crystalline sky, and snow that falls without a sound— these are the beautiful scenes woven into Scenery, created by Ryo Fukui, the renowned pianist born in Hokkaido.
Here, they live on forever. His fresh, delicate playing has captivated countless listeners, and his debut album Scenery has come to be highly acclaimed around the world. Fukui, who began playing the piano at the age of 22, recorded this album when he was
just 28. The earnest passion of his youth resonates throughout the music, gently stirring the emotions of those who listen.
The spacious, confident swing of “It Could Happen To You”, the refreshing joy radiating from “Early Summer”, the late autumn coolness imbued in the title track “Scenery” each embodies the uniquely expansive yet nuanced “Hokkaido sensibility” that flowed naturally from Fukui’s artistry. Within this album, the beautiful landscapes that Ryo Fukui crafted his Scenery continue to breathe eternally.
