Album JP 1975 on Denon/Nippon Columbia label
Classical (Classical, Romantic)
Piano; Steinway A Nippon Columbia Co. Ltd. Tokyo, Japan Recording Recorded in Tokyo, April 23-24, 1975 Engineer: Masao Hayashi New York Times, 1986 - "This was actually recorded 10 years ago in Tokyo, when Mr. Ranki was 24 years old, and Denon apologizes for the ''technical insufficiency of the 1970's digital recording,'' but this was hardly necessary, as the noise to which the disclaimer refers is all but inaudible. On the other hand, Denon does not apologize for the youth of the performer, nor does it need to, for this is a highly polished performance. Subtleties of shaping and dynamics reinforce the gently mysterious mood of the work, with its dark trills in the bass, which serve as punctuation or as transitional pivots. In a pair of impromptus on the same disk (Opus 90, Nos. 2 and 3), the pianist displays both power and delicacy, just the combination required. https://www.nytimes.com/1986/03/02/arts/gifted-pianists-test-their-mettle.html
