Vol.2 Amane Yamada: Melodies of a Next-Generation Violinist
In this session, Yamada and Taniguchi perform a duo rendition of Ravel’s Sonata for Violin and Cello. Yamada also presents solo performances of Bach’s Adagio from Sonata No. 1 for Solo Violin and his original works, including Buzama (Clumsy), Koe ga kikitaku natta (I Wanted to Hear Your Voice).
A program that combines classical masterpieces with his own compositions, this setlist reflects Yamada’s artistic identity and the unique position he occupies in the musical landscape today.
The second half of the video features a special interview with Yamada by Junya Suzuki, Chairman of the NISSHA FOUNDATION. The conversation explores what led him to pursue the violin, the sources of inspiration behind his original works, and the everyday life of a young artist. The video offers insights not only into his performance, but also into the essence of his creative process.
We hope you enjoy watching!
