hitaru Series Subscription Concert No.12 by Yashiro, Tchaikovsky, P. I., N 09 märts 2023, Alates (2023/2023), Dirigent Masaaki Suzuki, Sapporo Cultural Arts Theater Hitaru, Sapporo, Japan

Tchaikovsky of Sakkyo! Masaaki Suzuki, known as a world-famous master of Bach performances, will conduct the Sakkyo for the first time in 10 years. The program is a bold one that subverts his image. The "hitaru series", which has always featured Japanese works and contemporary music, has finally decided to take up Japanese symphonies. The symphony by Akio Yashiro (1929-1976) was composed at the age of 28 when he returned to Japan after studying abroad in Paris for five years. Suzuki studied under Yashiro at the composition department of Tokyo University of the Arts. The second half is Tchaikovsky, whom Suzuki has loved since he was a teenager. I can't wait to see how Bach masters play the famous "Pathétique".
