Daisuke Suzuki is known for his rich tone, musical sensitivity and strong feeling for tonal color, supported a masterful technique. The lyricism of his legato has been said to echarm the audience without fail'.
Born in 1970, Daisuke Suzuki began guitar lessons at the age of eight with Kazuaki Ichimura. Later, he continued his studies under Shinichi Fukuda and Masahiro Ojiri, whilst pursuing composition with Tetsuo Kawakami and Yoshiomi Nakajima.
Since 1993, beginning with his victory at the Citta de Alessandrea, Concorso
Internazionale de Chitarra Classica with Omággio a Andrés Segovia in Italy, Mr. Suzuki's international activities have earned him great
recognition both in Japan and abroad. In 1994, his talents were acknowledged
by the Japan's Cultural Affairs Agency, when he won their scholarship to
study for one year at Salzburg's Mozarteum. It was there that he expanded
his knowledge of the Renaissance and Baroque repertoire under the tutelage
of Elliot Fisk and Joaquin Clerch. Before returning to Japan, he gave recitals
around Europe, including Austria, Italy and the Czech Republic to high
acclaim.
Mr. Suzuki is considered the foremost interpreter of the music of Toru
Takemitsu, to whom he was very close. He is frequently asked to perform
Takemitsu's music throughout the world: notably at the Takemitsu memorial
concerts held at the Saito Kinen Festival and in 2005 at the Théatre
du Châtélet, Paris, where he performed in eMy Way of Life,'
a staged realization of several of Takemitsu's works.
Mr. Suzuki has released numerous recordings, since he first released the
album RITO in 1996. His album Complete Collection of Guitar Works by Toru Takemitsu (1997) was acclaimed by Takemitsu who praised his playing, saying, “one
rarely has the opportunity to hear a performance like his.” Other CDs include
Française and Cheek to Cheek, and Tù y yo - Agustín Barrios Mangoré.
By the time he graduated from Waseda University in 1993, Mr. Suzuki proved his talents with strings of first prize awards in the Japan Junior Guitar Education Association's Competition (1982), the Kanagawa Prefecture New Guitarist Audition (1986) and the Guitar Competition presented by the Yomiuri Newspaper (1989). Internationally, he captured third prize in the 1992 Maria Canals de Barcelona International Competition for Musical Performance - Guitar Division.
