Tamami Honma

Tamami Honma consistently receives acclaim as a performer and recording artist. A student of Byron Janis, who in turn was a student of Horowitz and both Lhevinnes, Ms. Honma is firmly rooted in the great Romantic tradition. Her appearances have attracted praise, as soloist at Bolshoi Hall with the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra, at Carnegie Hall — “an eloquent, powerful performance” (New York Times) — and at Wigmore Hall in London — “an interpretation that was probably as transparent and faithful to the Goldberg Variations as it’s possible to be on a modern piano” (Music & Vision). She has frequently appeared on radio and television in Europe and in the U.S. and participated in major music festivals such as the Aldeburgh Festival and the Warsaw Autumn. Her recordings range from Mozart and Chopin to new composers. She has been featured in BBC Music Magazine, Gramophone, The Guardian, The Independent, International Music Review, Yomiuri Shinbun, and various U.S. newspapers. Her recordings have garnered five-star reviews from BBC Music Magazine and Gramophone. Recently, she released her renditions of the complete 35 Beethoven Piano Sonatas under Divine Art Recordings.
