Active across a wide range of settings, from orchestral work to chamber music, Mikami here confronts the pure solo repertoire head-on. His approach spans an impressive spectrum—from works demanding breathtaking virtuosity to pieces of relaxed, inward character—revealing not only exceptional technical command but also a powerful sense of artistic integrity. At the core of his playing flows the tradition of violin performance cultivated over centuries; grounded in this firm foundation, his music achieves a depth that goes far beyond surface brilliance.
