New Single "Distance de Fée" — Now Available
The new single "Distance de Fée" by violinist HIMARI, released on Decca Classics, is now available on all streaming platforms from Friday, May 22, 2026.
"Distance de Fée" is a work by Tōru Takemitsu, one of Japan's most celebrated composers, inspired by the music of Messiaen and Debussy. The piece evokes the delicate presence of a fairy drifting through a spring breeze, and is performed here by HIMARI with pianist Chelsea Wang.
"This piece is very special to me — I performed it at my debut recital. My teacher, Ida Kavafian, who had a deep connection with Tōru Takemitsu, encouraged me to include it in my programme. I hope its dreamy, nostalgic atmosphere captivates you."
