About Mariko Terashi
Japanese pianist Mariko Terashi pursued her musical training with Yvonne Lefébure in France, with début appearances in public concerts after winning the György Cziffra Award in Senlis, France.
Since moving to the UK in 1995, she has regularly appeared on the concert platform as a soloist and chamber musician, including concertos by Ravel and Mozart with the University of Leicester Sinfonia.
Mariko is particularly interested in the piano adaptation of 17th/18th century French harpsichord music, and she has continued to deepen her understanding of this repertoire, notably in dialogue with Huguette Dreyfus, the renowned, now late, French harpsichordist. She has developed her own playing style that retains the poise and ornamentation of the original music, while exploring the warmer timbre of the piano. Regarded as ‘offering fresh insights into music’, she responds with ‘delicate nuance’ and ‘tremendous emotional depth’.
Her last CD ‘Carlos de Seixas, François Couperin, Jean-Philippe Rameau’ has received great reviews so far – “splendid, revealing with great clarity all the harmonic, contrapuntal and decorative detail”, “Terashi’s playing is elegant, sober, and poetic, mining for more sonority than could ever be obtained from a harpsichord”. It has been broadcasted on Antena 2 in Portugal, and is referenced in Vol.6 of Portuguese Composers repertoire for pianists.
