Winner of "ZMR BEST PIANO (SOLO) OF 2014" Award!! Some of the Reviews: "Just what the Solo Piano genre needed; here we have an album jam packed to the top with total class and creativity, an album superbly produced by Ackerman and Eaton to such a fine level...an album that will move you, bring you peace and liberate you...an album that I would personally recommend for you to place in your musical collection." - Steve Sheppard, One World Music “Masako's sophomore release, Call of the Mountains, is another enjoyable collection of understated, lyrical, and evocative compositions ... The overriding sensation is of the artist's expressive sensitivity and tender soulfulness. Masako's playing is engaging from the first note to the last… Call of the Mountains is a recording to savor time and time again, absorbing every nuance of melody, tone and mood. - Bill Binkelman, Zone Music Reporter "That such perfection and such depth of emotion coexist in her work is the holy grail of recording and production for me…performances of such quality that are so rare as to be nearly mythical.” - Will Ackerman, founder of Windham Hill Records
