Noriko Ogawa is a major pianist who bases her career half in her native Japan
and half in Europe. Her repertory is primarily of the Romantic era and later,
with an emphasis on recent classics. After establishing a solid career in Japan,
she came to international acclaim with a third place finish in the Leeds
International Piano Competition of 1987. This led to her attracting a large
following in the United Kingdom, resulting in her decision to spend half of her
professional life in Europe. She has appeared with all the major orchestras of
the British Isles, including the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, BBC
Philharmonic, Philharmonia, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Ulster Orchestra,
National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, the Hallé Orchestra, the Royal
Philharmonic, and the Orchestra of St. Johns Smith Square. In Europe she has
appeared with the St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra, the Gothenburg Symphony
Orchestra, the Tapiola Orchestra (Finland), and the Stavanger Symphony
Orchestra. She also broadcasts regularly on the Japanese television networks NHK
and Nippon Television, and has toured extensively with the NKH Symphony
Orchestra. She frequently appears also on the BBC. She is a well-regarded
accompanist, particularly known for frequent appearances with Korean violinist
Dong-Suk Kang. She is an exclusive artist for the major independent Swedish
classical label BIS. The Times of London chose her recording of the second and
third Rachmaninov concertos as one of the best releases of 1997, and her account
of Mussorgskys Pictures at an Exhibition won a Critics Choice Award. She
released a stunning disc of complete Takemitsu piano music, and has also
recorded piano concertos of Tcherepnin, as well as music by Harald Saeverud,
Johan Peterson-Berger, and selections of Japanese solo piano music and music for
cello and piano. After the turn of the century she continued projects to record
more Rachmaninov and music of Schumann and Debussy. There is, incidentally, a
Japanese soprano of the same name, also building a significant career in Europe
and Japan, who performs as Noriko Ogawa-Yatake.
