The early musical instrument the harpsichord saw a revival in the 20th century, and many high-quality harpsichords made according to historical methods are produced in Japan. However, contemporary harpsichord works are not abundant, and a lack of interest and understanding in the instrument among Japanese musicians and composers in particular remains a problem. This recital focused on female composers who are still living and working, with the aim of creating a unique program combining new works including the world premiere of commissioned works, as well as famous classic pieces. The hope is that the instrument will appeal to a wide range of audiences and composers of music from early to contemporary, and that it will generate new compositions and listeners. Special mention should be made of the Japan premier of a work by the cutting-edge contemporary composer Kaija Saariaho (the specification for which is to record a live performance, mix it, and play it simultaneously in four-channel surround sound). This recital represented the realization of an acoustic design space with the best engineers and equipment currently possible in Japan.
