KINNERET

This album presents a new genre of relaxing and soothing classical music type melodies performed by a piano virtuoso.

"The Sea of Galilee in Israel is also known by the Hebrew name of a Biblical city called "Kinneret." When the composer Norimasa Matsuda visited the land where Jesus lived and walked, he was so emotionally moved by his meditation on the time that Jesus spent there that he was inspired to write melodies. These melodies were arranged into a trilogy entitled "Kinneret I, II, and III" included in this selection.

The recording and mastering was undertaken by Yoshio Ishiwatari, a master engineer at A-K-laboratory who has worked on many excellent recordings. He says: "The work I did aimed for rich attractive sounds rather than just producing 'good' sounds."
