Hayato Sumino – Ravel: Boléro / THE FIRST TAKE

THE FIRST TAKE is a YouTube Channel dedicated to shooting musicians and singers performing in a single take.

In episode 531, Hayato Sumino, the pianist with an international presence, returns to THE FIRST TAKE. Coming from an unconventional background as a University of Tokyo graduate with an extensive national and international performance career, Sumino holds the record for the largest number of attendees at a solo piano performance at the Nippon Budokan.
He will perform Maurice Ravel’s “Boléro,” a ballet number beloved by many as a timeless masterpiece in the world of classical music.
Enjoy this exquisite one-shot performance of one of Ravel’s most famous works that features a simple structure involving two melodies repeating to a steady rhythm. Sumino plays on both the grand and upright piano, enthralling the listener with a rich variety of tones, delivering a gripping performance that begins softly and builds to a thrilling climax.
