The young Japanese soloist Akihiro Sakiya, winner of the 56th JaÃ©n International Piano competition in three categories - Solo, Audience and Spanish Music - has constructed a program that includes Brahms's Piano Sonata No. 3, one of the great sonatas of it's time, Debussy's evocative Estampes and a Spanish classic by Granados. Written as test pieces for the JaÃ©n competition, the two contemporary Spanish works draw on rich folkloric traditions.
