Acclaim
“He has an absolutely fluent technique, and he puts it to good musical use, with effective but not overstated articulation, a natural rise and fall in the dynamics of the phrases, and a good feeling for the dance rhythms.” (Fanfare magazine, USA 11,12/1990 )
“...that this interpretation could develop into a standard recording of Bach’s lute works.” (Concerto – Germany 12/1990-01/1991)
“...very impressive Bach interpretation ...exceptionally clean in both areas, tone production as well as articulation.” (Gramophon – UK 03/1991)
“...unique breadth of the conception, and beauty of the general line... his decisions concerning the harmony, tempo, articulation, and embellishments are certainly the most convincing and delightful among all the [Bach] recordings... masterful homage to the Thomaskantor.” (Diapason - France 02/1992 )
“This performer’s playing is like wit: the wit of a precise, accomplished, polished mind. … The spirit of the plucked strings of the golden age reigns here.” (Diapason – France 04/ 1995)
“Imamura’s confidence, underscored by his choice of forward-moving tempi, imbues these sonatas and also, strangely, the prelude and fugue, with a luminous quality” (Le Monde de la Musique – France 12 /1997 )
“the listener perceives a richness of sound that is all the more alluring that this liveliness never overshadows sensitivity or the clarity of the counterpoint” (Le Monde de la Musique – France 12 /1997 )
“… it is hardly surprising that Yasunori Imamura is an extremely sought-after soloist” (le dauphine, France – France 13 / 5 / 2000 )
“Yasunori Imamura cultivates a subtle rhythmic freedom, following the harmonic tensions as much as the dancer’s steps” (« Diapason d’Or » Award // Diapason – France 07-08 /2006 )
“The rhetoric is bold, the tempi often lively, the dynamic range extremely rich…” (« Diapason d’Or » Award // Diapason – France 07-08 /2006 )
“Eschewing the “atmospheric” style of playing, Imamura dares to be extroverted without becoming superficial, his sound blossoming around a solid structure. He restores to these sonatas something of the brilliance of a master musician who was admired by all of Europe. And that includes Bach.” (« Diapason d’Or » Award // Diapason – France 07-08 /2006 )
“Yasunori Imamura is an accomplished musician: he has a fine sound, beautiful cantabile in the upper lines, true virtuosity and a subtle ear for harmony.” ( Le Monde de la Musique – France 07-08 / 2006 )
