About

The album’s title Heimat is the German word for ‘homeland’. Kenji Miura was born in Japan and studied in London and Berlin, where he has now lived for 12 years. With Heimat he explores the concept of a musical ‘chosen home’.

Heimat comprises Beethoven's ‘Appassionata’ Sonata; Schumann's Kinderszenen, and Brahms's Seven Fantasies. As Kenji Miura says: ‘In finding my way into German music, I also found my way deeper into the place I now call “Heimat”.’

Miura rose to prominence in 2019 as winner of the Long-Thibaud-Crespin Competition in Paris, endorsed by jury chair Martha Argerich and her vice-chair Bertrand Chamayou.

Acclaimed by Pianist Magazine as one of the ‘5 top pianists to keep an eye on in 2023’, Miura recently joined the faculty at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin, where he passionately mentors the next generation of pianists.
