Live in Tokyo: Kyoko Hashimoto Plays Schubert and Debussy
NAMI RECORDS WWCC-7664, 2011
selected for Rob Cowan's programme of 'great Schubert performances' during the BBC radio 3 'Spirit of Schubert' season in March 2012:
"...impressed me hugely, the Schubert in particular. What I enjoyed most was that sense of relishing every harmony … the warmth and liveliness of the playing - no, not liveliness, 'alert' would be a better word. She also has an impeccable sense of musical timing." - Rob Cowan, BBC Radio 3, critic of The Independent
Scriabin & Shostakovich - 24 Preludes
NAMI RECORDS WWCC-7526, 2006
" ...master pianist Kyoko Hashimoto interprets these pieces brilliantly and
convincingly." - "Lesson no Tomo", (Friends of Lessons), Japan
"In the D major Prelude of Scriabin, she shows mature wisdom rather than
succumbing to common sentimentality; in the b minor, sublime dynamism and
masterly technique. Never sounding rushed, Hashimoto always maintains complete control of the pieces ... it is impossible to hail her performance as anything less than splendid." - "Record Geijutsu" (The Art of Recording ), Japan
Schumann Bunte Blätter, Op.99 And Albumblätter, Op.124
