This album is the live recording of the concert, "Okuru Ongaku (Gift of Music)" at Hamarikyu Asahi Hall, Tokyo on November 23, 2017. WingTsan Wong, the pianist in meditation, performs 12 pieces of his most popular ones with Aska Strings led by Aska Maret (Kaneko). It is truly his best selection. The beautiful melodies of the piano merge with the passionate sound of the 16-piece string ensemble to create a space of serenity and dynamism.
Wong WingTsan, called "The Pianist in Meditation", is the leading figure in Japan's New Age Music scene. Born in Kobe in 1949 and raised in Tokyo, he started his professional career as a musician at the age of nineteen playing Jazz, Soul and Modern Music. A meditative experience in 1987 led to his discovery of the music in him, prompting him to set up Satowa Music in 1992. He has since released almost 30 CDs from his label, each album a long-seller. He also wrote the theme music for "Kokoro no Jidai" on NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation, Japan's only public broadcaster) Educational TV, "Nippon Kikou" and "Mokugeki! Nippon" on NHK General TV. His solo piano interlaced with soulful improvisations is what makes his piano unique. You could feel the essence of clear and beautiful piano music of Wong WingTsan.
