Blue Griffin Records offers outlet for local classical talent

By LAWRENCE COSENTINO

Peter Miyamoto (piano), “Chopin: Ballades and Fantasies.”


This disc is a great, big, steaming sacrifice to the rumbling god of Steinway, the most impressive of Blue Griffin’s recordings to date. It’s a showcase for the phenomenal pianism of Peter Miyamoto, formerly on the faculty at MSU and now based on the West Coast (apparently the Great Lakes couldn’t provide crashing waves big enough for his cover shot). Miyamoto’s Chopin is so good it makes the pupils dilate; it combines the restless glitter of moonlight with the tension of a suspension-bridge cable.
