Himari Yoshimura Signs with Decca for Debut Album

When Himari Yoshimura took the stage with the Berlin Philharmonic in March 2025, she became the youngest Asian soloist to perform with the Berlin Philharmonic in a subscription concert. In addition to this performance in Berlin, Yoshimura has signed a recording contract with the Decca record label. Through the agreement that she signed with Decca, Yoshimura gained the title of the youngest female musician that the record label has ever signed.

The debut album by Yoshimura includes a recording of Wieniawski's Violin Concerto No. 1 that was recorded in Berlin. Alongside the recording of Wieniawski's Violin Concerto No. 1 in Berlin, the debut album contains works by Chopin, Godowsky, and Sibelius. Among the other works that are featured on the album are Chopin Nocturnes, Godowsky's work Alt Wien, and the Mazurka from Five Pieces by Sibelius.

For the album performance, pianist Chelsea Wang accompanies Yoshimura on the recordings. In addition to the other compositions listed on the album, the release concludes with another piece by Wieniawski. The closing track on Yoshimura's debut album is Wieniawski's Fantasy on Themes from Gounod's Faust.
