Yosuke Onuma - 3, 2 & 1 (2006) [SACD]

The theme of this album is personal touches. Focusing on solo performances—a genre that has been particularly popular and highly anticipated in the last year or two—this album features acoustic guitar in approximately 70% of its tracks, resulting in an unprecedentedly acoustic-heavy work.
The sound is so raw and immersive that you can hear everything from Onuma's fingerwork to his breathing, creating the illusion that he's performing right in front of you.
